'''Skiddas''' are members of the [[Kremling Krew]] encountered in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. According to the game's credits, Skiddas belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.
'''Skiddas''' are purple [[Kremling]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They are purple variants of [[Kobble]]s named for their action skidding across icy surfaces. Skiddas are one of the few Kremlings to not have a letter "K" at the beginning of their name.

These pink [[Kremling]]s are rather uncommon enemies appearing only in levels filled with snow; they are first introduced in [[Skidda's Row]], where they are the main enemies. Skiddas attack by sliding into the [[Kong]]s, although this may not be intentional since Skiddas seem rather unbalanced on ice and snow and skid out of control on it.
In their debut appearance, Skiddas only appear in a few snow levels; they are first encountered in [[Skidda's Row]], as the main and titular enemy, and appear in two later levels: [[Tearaway Toboggan]] and [[Lemguin Lunge]]. Skiddas either slide across the icy ground or across the snow-capped roof of a chalet; in the latter instance, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can avoid the Skidda by going beneath the chalet. Like Kobbles, Skiddas are vulnerable to any attack, and the [[Kong]]s can defeat them with one hit. A photograph of a Skidda appears in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], being classified as part of the [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album#Kremling Kreeps|Kremling Kreeps]] enemy class.


Like their green lookalikes, [[Kobble]]s, Skiddas are weak despite their burly look, and any attack can defeat them. Many Skiddas can be found on snow-capped roofs, so in most cases they can be avoided by passing in front of the chalets.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Skiddas, like Kobbles make a whining, high-pitched noise when defeated. Skiddas appear in more levels since Kobbles were removed from [[Tidal Trouble]].

Skiddas return in ''Donkey Kong Land III'', where they have the same role and behavior as in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''. Like the previous game, Skiddas appear in three more snow levels: [[Black Ice Blitz]], [[Polar Pitfalls]], and [[Tundra Blunda]]. Skidda and Kobble have the exact same sprite when defeated, even in ''Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong'', in which both enemies are depicted green.
Skiddas return in the game's pseudo-sequel, ''Donkey Kong Land III''. In this game, they can be found in the three snow levels. Since the [[Game Boy]] is not as powerful as the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]], Skiddas have the same color as Kobbles in this port (gray for Game Boy, green for [[Game Boy Color]]). They still have the same attack pattern and behavior.

==Gallery==
In the remake of the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', Skiddas return and play the exact same role, except they now have a different voice when defeated, which is a more high-pitched and whiny one, like [[Kobble]]s.

Also, in this version, Skiddas appear in more levels than their green cousins Kobbles, because the latter were removed in [[Tidal Trouble]].
