{{character infobox
'''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.

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]]''.


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).
==History==
===''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.
{{br|left}}


''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]].
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
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]].


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.
===''Donkey Konga'' series===
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.


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]].
===''Super Mario Odyssey''===
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'''".


[[File:Rattlyjump.gif|thumb|left|Rattly jumping.]]
===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' (Nintendo 3DS / Nintendo Switch)===
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.

Rattly, originally named Slinky Snake,[5] is a large, green, red-ringed rattlesnake and an 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[edit]

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

Rattly DKC2 sprite.png

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 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 Zingers without taking damage. On a small note, Rattly hops while moving. Rattly is first encountered in Topsail Trouble, where players start the stage in front of a Rattly Crate. They can optionally use Rattly's assistance up to the area with the Star Barrel. Rattly later appears in Rattle Battle, where the player characters are required to enter a Rattly Barrel in a room at the start to play as Rattly for a majority of the level. In Gusty Glade, Rattly can optionally be ridden. In 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, set in a jungle environment.

Donkey Kong Land 2[edit]

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, Rattle Battle, Gusty Glade, Toxic Tower, and Animal Antics.

Donkey Konga series[edit]

Rattly makes a cameo in Donkey Konga 2. He is among the characters whose artwork appears in Freestyle Zone while the player plays the 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[edit]

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)[edit]

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[edit]

Rattly appears as an Advanced-class support spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The 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 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[edit]

A partially playable Rattly in the code for Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong for Game Boy Color.
Rattly (shown as Dixie) goes unused in Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong, but his functionality remains intact.

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.
