| '''Rattly''', originally named '''Slinky Snake''',<ref>{{cite|date=1995|title=''Donkey Kong Land'', ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) WORLD EXCLUSIVE Review booklet|quote=New characters include a tennis shoe-clad spider and Slinky Snake, who are there to help out in the same way as Rambi, Expresso and Co.|page=21|publisher=EMAP|language=en-gb}}</ref> is a large, green, red-ringed rattlesnake and an [[Animal Friends|Animal Friend]] appearing mainly in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Rattly's body is coiled up like a spring, which he bounces on to move around. Rattly can bounce high, just like [[Winky]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

|
| ==History==
| | '''Rattly the Rattlesnake''' is a large green and red ringed snake whose body is coiled, allowing him to jump high through the air like a spring; despite being an inhabitant of [[Crocodile Isle]], Rattly is allied with the [[Kong Family]] and is described as "rebelling" against the reptilian [[Kremling Krew]] by aiding them. |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
| |
| [[File:Rattly DKC2 sprite.png|frame|right]]
| |
| Rattly is an ally in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', replacing Winky from its predecessor. Rattly's most noticeable ability is his [[Super move|Superjump]], allowing him to bounce high to reach normally inaccessible locations, sometimes to find a level collectible or [[Bonus Barrel]]. Rattly can also jump in midair when falling from a platform, and he can bounce off [[Zinger]]s without taking damage. On a small note, Rattly hops while moving. Rattly is first encountered in [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Topsail Trouble]], where players start the stage in front of a [[Animal Crate|Rattly Crate]]. They can optionally use Rattly's assistance up to the area with the [[Star Barrel]]. Rattly later appears in [[Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Rattle Battle]], where the player characters are required to enter a [[Animal Barrel|Rattly Barrel]] in a room at the start to play as Rattly for a majority of the level. In [[Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Gusty Glade]], Rattly can optionally be ridden. In [[Toxic Tower (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Toxic Tower]], players are required to transform into Rattly to perform high jumps to escape from the rising [[toxic waste]], up until the Star Barrel, where players use other animal buddies. Rattly is used for the final segment in [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Animal Antics]], set in a jungle environment.

| ===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
| | [[File:Rattlyjump.gif|Rattly's jumping sprite.|thumb|left]] |
| Rattly is an ally in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. He retains his behavior and appears in the same level counterparts as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Topsail Trouble]], [[Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Rattle Battle]], [[Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Gusty Glade]], [[Toxic Tower (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Toxic Tower]], and [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Animal Antics]].
| | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Rattly, first appearing in the level "[[Topsail Trouble]]", would allow [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] to ride him after they release him from [[Animal Crate|his crate]]. With his superb jumping ability, Rattly would allow the [[Kong]]s to reach high areas normally unreachable by them. Additionally, Rattly can jump on enemies that Diddy and Dixie wouldn't normally jump on ([[Zinger]]s and [[Spiny (Donkey Kong)|Spinies]] for some examples). Rattly is also capable of using the [[Supercharge Attack]], but it is used for jumping instead of attacking. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Konga'' series===
| | ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' also featured an entire level dedicated to Rattly known as "[[Rattle Battle]]", which was also the first level that had the Kongs changing into an [[Animal Buddy]] by using an [[Animal Barrel]]. |
| Rattly makes a cameo in ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]''. He is among the characters whose artwork appears in Freestyle Zone while the player plays the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]]. Two Rattlies are engraved on a bridge in the "Port City - Foggy Morning" background scene. In ''[[Donkey Konga 3 JP]]'', Rattly's artwork can appear again in Freestyle Zone. | |
|
| |
|
| ===''Super Mario Odyssey''===
| | Having apparently survived the exploding and subsequent sinking of Crocodile Isle after the events of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Rattly returned in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', once more to aid Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong. |
| Rattly the Rattlesnake is referenced in the [[Metro Kingdom]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where one of the street signs is named after him. However, his name is misspelled "'''Rattley'''". | |
|
| |
|
| ===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' (Nintendo 3DS / Nintendo Switch)===
| | Though Rattly does not actually appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', his Animal Crate can be seen in the background of the level "[[Barrel Shield Bust-Up]]", which is located in the area [[Kremwood Forest]]. |
| Rattly the Rattlesnake is referenced in the level [[Uptown, Downtown]] in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Nintendo Switch]] versions of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', where the same street sign from ''Super Mario Odyssey'' is named after Rattly, although his name remains misspelled. | |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
| |
| Rattly appears as an Advanced-class {{iw|smashwiki|support spirit}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] occupies one support slot and increases the fighter's jump height when used. The spirit's puppet fighter is a [[Yoshi]] with increased jump power on the [[Kongo Jungle (Super Smash Bros.)|Kongo Jungle]] stage. The track that plays during the spirit battle is an arrangement of "Snakey Chantey" from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', referencing the level [[Rattle Battle]] in which Rattly is playable.
| |
| | |
| ===Unused appearances===
| |
| [[File:Rattly DKLIII unused.png|thumb|Rattly (shown as Dixie) goes unused in ''Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong'', but his functionality remains intact.]]
| |
| [[List of Donkey Kong Land III pre-release and unused content|Via hacking]], the player can control a partially playable Rattly in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' and ''Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong''. However, his sprites are missing, and only part of his usual functionality remains intact: the ability to bounce off of enemies.
