'''Slippas''' are a fairly common type of snake that is orange with black stripes. Their coloring resembles the [[:wikipedia:coral snake|coral snake]], a venomous serpent found in several parts of the [[Earth]].

The first appearance of Slippas was in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' where they, along with [[Gnawty]]s and [[Zinger]]s are one of the most common [[enemies]]. They appeared most in cave levels, and could easily be defeated by being jumped on. If a [[Kong]] touches them, without rolling or jumping, however, the monkeys will be damaged.

Slippas are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country''. Slippas move by slithering on the ground. Slippas can be defeated from any attack, including being rolled into, jumped on, or from a [[barrel]]. A Slippa makes a hissing noise when defeated. In [[Misty Mine]], Slippas are released from some [[black drum]]s indefinitely.


Slippas also appear in Donkey Kong Country's remake on [[Game Boy Advance]], where they play the exact same role.

A single Slippa appears as a minor antagonist in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' novel. As the Kongs explore the Abandoned Mines, Slippa and [[Army]] ambush the group. Slippa proclaims that "thessse minesss are oursss" and attempts to attack [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], but Diddy stomps him with a double jump. Slippa then escapes back into the darkness.

Slippas are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They appear in many more levels and in a wider variety of environments than before, including mines, jungles, and skyscrapers. Slippas sometimes pop out of [[Basket of snakes|baskets]]. In [[Riggin' Rumble]] and [[Skyscraper Caper]], Slippas slither down the ropes until they reach the bottom. These Slippas can only be defeated by a thrown [[barrel]].


Slippas later appeared in the [[Game Boy]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They are essentially the same [[Enemies|enemies]] as they are in Donkey Kong Country. Slippas are mostly found in mines, caves and occasionally factories. The [[Bosses|boss]] [[Dumb Drum]] also attacks the Kongs with Slippas, who will slither around and attack.

Like most [[enemies]], Slippas attempt to attack [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] or [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] by charging into them. However, the [[Kong]]s can jump on or roll over a Slippa to defeat it. Sometimes [[Oil Drum]]s and other types of [[barrel]]s will continually spawn an endless number of Slippas until destroyed.
