==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
[[File:Rattle Battle.png|thumb|left|200px|Rattly in Rattle Battle in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'']]
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 the Rattlesnake''' is a large, green, red-ringed rattlesnake and an [[Animal Friend]] of the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]]. His first appearance was in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Rattly is an inhabitant of [[Crocodile Isle]] but is described as a rebel against the [[Kremling Krew]].  
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.

===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
[[File:Toxic Tower DKL2 shot 2.png|thumb|Rattly in Toxic Tower in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'']]
Rattly reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', in which 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]].


Rattly's body is coiled up like a spring, which he bounces on to move around. His main attribute is the ability to bounce high. In this regard, Rattly is considered a successor to [[Winky the Frog]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.
===''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.


== History ==
===''Super Mario Odyssey''===
=== ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' / ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' ===
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'''".
Rattly is an infrequent Animal Friend in both ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', where he only appears in a few levels. In both games, he can [[Super move|Superjump]] to perform an even higher jump (which can be performed by holding down {{button|R}} [or {{button|snes|A}} in the SNES version] and releasing it in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' or {{button|GB|select}} in ''Donkey Kong Land 2''). This allows for him to reach normally inaccessible locations (that are usually unreachable by the Kongs, even with their [[Team-up]] ability), sometimes to find a level collectible or [[Bonus Barrel]]. He is also able to jump in midair, but only while hopping (his walking/running animation) or falling from a platform. Rattly is able to bounce off [[Zinger]]s harmlessly. Aside from Zingers, [[Kaboing]]s are another common foe of Rattly's.


In his first level appearance, [[Topsail Trouble]], [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] start the stage in front of a [[Animal Crate|Rattly Crate]] (or [[Animal Barrel|Rattly Barrel]] in ''Donkey Kong Land 2''). They can optionally use Rattly's assistance to climb the ship mast, up until the [[No Animal Sign]] next to the [[Star Barrel]].
===''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.


[[File:Rattle Battle.png|thumb|left|200px|Rattly in Rattle Battle of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'']]
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
[[File:Toxic Tower DKL2 shot 2.png|thumb|Rattly in Toxic Tower of ''Donkey Kong Land 2''.]]
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.
Rattly is the main feature of his second level appearance, in [[Rattle Battle]]. Unlike Topsail Trouble, the Kongs are required to transform into Rattly, via a Rattly Barrel in a small room at the start. Rattly's special abilities are evident in the stage, because he must cross wide gaps, typically by bouncing from a few Zingers. Rattly even bounces off some [[Barrel]]s fired by [[Kannon]]s near the end of the level.


The Kongs can optionally ride Rattly in the [[Gloomy Gulch]] level [[Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Gusty Glade]] in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' (but not in [[Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Land 2)|its ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' counterpart]]). This does not ease the challenge of withstanding the strong wind gusts.
==Profiles and statistics==
 
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
In [[Toxic Tower]], the Kongs are required to transform into Rattly to perform high jumps to escape from the rising poisonous slime, up until the Star Barrel, where [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] takes over for most of the second half. Rattly is used for the final segment in [[Animal Antics]], in which his segment takes place in a jungle (just like [[Rambi the Rhino|Rambi]] and [[Squitter the Spider|Squitter]]'s parts at the start and middle, respectively).

He can jump much higher than the Kongs, courtesy of his springy tail.''<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo|date=1995|title=''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' instruction booklet|page=25}}</ref>

Rattly makes a cameo in both ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Konga 3: Tabehōdai! Haru Mogitate 50 Kyoku|Donkey Konga 3]]''. He is among the characters whose artwork appears in Freestyle Zone while the player plays the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]]. In ''Donkey Konga 2'', two Rattlys are engraved on a bridge in the "Port City - Foggy Morning" background scene.
