| '''Snapjaw'''s resemble small crocodiles that attack with gnashing teeth. Oddly the appearance of Snapjaws seems to alter in every game they appear in.
| |
| | |
| Snapjaws first appeared in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]''. Here they were thrown by [[Mario]] at [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] in an attempt to defeat the ape. Like Donkey Kong Jr., Snapjaws can climb vines. Though whereas regular blue Snapjaws simply fall off a vine when they reach the end of it, the red variety can continually climb up and down a vine. In this game Snapjaws can only be defeated by dropping fruits on top of them. The Snapjaws of this game are quite robotic in appearance.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Donkey Kong '94]]'' Snapjaws appear in level 2-4 and several other levels after this one. In this game Snapjaws have a more dragonic appearance. In this game Snapjaws can be defeated by using a [[hammer]].
| |
| | |
| The next appearance of Snapjaws was in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. Here they were plant-like beings with thorn-like spines covering their body. Along with appearing in various of the game's levels [[Donkey Kong]] throws differently-colored Snapjaws as weapons in his and Mario's final battle, similar to what Mario did with them in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' Like in ''Donkey Kong '94'' Snapjaws can be defeated in this game using a hammer.
| |
| | |
| Snapjaws also occasionally appear in the later instalments of the [[MarioWiki:Mario Party (series)|Mario Party series]], mostly in Donkey Kong mini-games.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| | |
| * The appearance of Snapjaws in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'', that of a large fanged monster with a chain dragging behind it, are similar to a creature encountered the Mario series of games. These creatures are called [[MarioWiki:Chain Chomp|Chain Chomps]].
| |
| | |
| * [[Klaptrap]]s, small crocodilians from various of the later Donkey Kong games may be based off Snapjaws.
| |
| | |
| * A Snapjaw makes a cameo appearance in the Game Boy Camera accessory for the Game Boy handheld system. In the SHOW option a Snapjaw is this options cursor, this seems to make a Snapjaw "quasi-playable".
