Skittlers are arthropod enemies that appear in the Forest levels in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. Skittlers resemble and behave like real world spiders, although they only have six feet instead of eight. They appear in both orange and purple varieties.
History
Donkey Kong Country Returns / Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
In Donkey Kong Country Returns, purple Skittlers rise and lower on a web thread, falling to the ground if jumped on. Some purple Skittlers hanging directly above a pit can instantly be defeated from a jump attack instead of falling down. Orange Skittlers slowly drop from their web regardless of the Kongs' actions. While on the ground, both purple and orange Skittlers go after Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong and attempt to injure them.
If the Kongs are touched by a Skittler, they lose a heart point. The Kongs cannot approach a Skittler with a Roll Attack if it hangs from a thread, though other attacks are effective against it. When on land, Skittlers can be defeated by any attack, including a roll.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
In Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, several Skittlers can be seen in the background of the level Forest Folly, frozen solid.
WarioWare: Get It Together!
Purple Skittlers reappear in WarioWare: Get It Together! as enemies in the Donkey Kong Country Returns microgame.
