Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2)

This article is for the piranha-like enemy from the games Donkey Kong Country 2 and Donkey Kong Land 2. For the crocodilian enemy from the game Donkey Kong Jr., amoung others click here.

A Snapjaw is an invulnerable piranha-like fish that resemble pink Lockjaws.

The first appearance of Snapjaws was in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. Here a Snapjaw only appears in two levels, "Slime Climb" and "Clapper's Cavern".

In "Slime Climb" a Snapjaw will follow Diddy and Dixie Kong throughout the level; which is a half sunken ship, which is still sinking at a rapid pace. In "Clapper's Cavern" A Snapjaw once again follows the Kongs throughout the level, in order to avoid the hungry fish the Kongs must employ the freezing powers of the friend Clapper the Seal.

An enemy similar to a Snapjaw, called Nibbla appears in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble. Like a Snapjaw a Nibbla will follow the Kongs through a level, Nibblas are also indestructible like Snapjaws.

Due to the fact that they cannot be defeated Snapjaws should just be avoided.
