In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Squitter appears to assist [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] on their adventure. He has the ability to shoot out an unlimited supply of web projectiles from his mouth, which he can use to defeat most enemies, including [[Zinger]]s. He also has the ability to create temporary web platforms to reach higher areas, such as a [[Bonus Area]], or to cross a large gap. However, he cannot jump as high as the Kongs can in return. Squitter is unable to defeat an enemy by jumping on it, as this injures him in the process. Squitter appears in seven levels: [[Hot-Head Hop]], [[Krockhead Klamber (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Krockhead Klamber]], [[Hornet Hole (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Hornet Hole]], [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Bramble Scramble]], [[Web Woods (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Web Woods]], [[Toxic Tower (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Toxic Tower]], and lastly [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Animal Antics]].

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', Squitter reprises his role, keeping mostly the same characteristics. Unlike in the previous game, Squitter can now defeat enemies by jumping on them, although it is no more effective than the Kongs' jump attack, because he cannot defeat stronger enemies like [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es this way. This ability was removed from the [[Game Boy Advance]] version. Squitter appears in seven levels: [[Fire-Ball Frenzy]], [[Blazing Bazukas]], [[Krack Shot Kroc]], [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot Hole Panic]], [[Creepy Caverns]], [[Stampede Sprint]], and lastly [[Tyrant Twin Tussle]].

==Trivia==
*While most real-world spiders produce silk from their backsides, Squitter is able to shoot it from his mouth. However, members of the spider family Scytodidae are actually able to spit harmful venom-infused silk from their chelicerae, and Squitter even resembles these spiders, as both have an orange coloration with dark spots. According to character designer Steve Mayles, this resemblance is coincidental.<ref>@WinkySteve (February 25, 2019). [https://twitter.com/WinkySteve/status/1100062350990815232?s=20 No internet in those days to research the finer points of spitting spiders, so we just made stuff up. Or looked in a book for pictures. Can you imagine that, having to look in a book for pictures? I once bought a Scotland Travel guide book because I needed a picture of a sporran!] ''Twitter''.</ref>
