They are basic orange crabs. Snapses first appear in the [[Beach]] area, the third level of the [[Ruins]] area, [[Mast Blast]], and later in the [[Cliff]] area. Snapses move from side to side and can only hurt [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] if they come in contact with one. They also have the tendency to chase the Kongs, meaning that they'll change direction the instant the Kongs jump over one. Snapses can easily be defeated with a [[jump]] or by throwing a [[barrel]] at them. [[Pinchly]]s are stronger variants of Snapses.
