===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
Rattly is a rarely appearing Animal Friend in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', where he only appears in a few levels. He is either a ridable or transformable animal buddy. The player(s) as Rattly can [[Super move|Superjump]] to perform a higher jump. This allows for the player(s) to reach normally inaccessible locations, sometimes to find a level collectible or [[Bonus Barrel]]. When moving around as Rattly normally he hops, allowing the player(s) to jump in midair. The player(s) as Rattly can also jump in midair when falling from a platform. Rattly is able to bounce off [[Zinger]]s without taking damage.
He first appears in [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Topsail Trouble]], where the player(s) start the stage in front of a [[Animal Crate|Rattly Crate]]. They can optionally use Rattly's assistance to climb the ship mast, up until the [[No Animal Sign]] next to the [[Star Barrel]].

In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Rattly only appears in a few levels. He first appears in [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Topsail Trouble]], where players start the stage in front of a [[Animal Crate|Rattly Crate]]. They can optionally use Rattly's assistance to climb the ship mast, up until the [[No Animal Sign]] next to the [[Star Barrel]]. Rattly later appears in [[Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rattle Battle]], his most major role in a level, because [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] have to enter a [[Animal Barrel|Rattly Barrel]] in a room at the start to play as Rattly for a majority of the level. In [[Gloomy Gulch]] level [[Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Gusty Glade]], Rattly can optionally be ridden. In [[Toxic Tower (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|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: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Animal Antics]], set in a jungle environment.
Rattly later appears in [[Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rattle Battle]]. Unlike in Topsail Trouble, the player(s) are required to transform into Rattly, by entering a Rattly Barrel in a small room at the start. The level requires the player(s) to use Rattly's abilities.
 
The player(s) can optionally ride Rattly in the [[Gloomy Gulch]] level [[Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Gusty Glade]].
 
In [[Toxic Tower]], the player(s) are required to transform into Rattly to perform high jumps to escape from the rising [[toxic waste]], up until the Star Barrel, where the player(s) use other animal buddies.  


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 used for the final segment in [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Animal Antics]], in which his segment takes place in a jungle.

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.

Rattly appears as an Advanced-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|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 (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.
