History
Donkey Kong Country Returns / Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
Purple Skittlers rise and lower on a web thread, but will fall to the ground if jumped on. While on the ground, they give chase to Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong in an attempt to injure them. A few purple Skittlers hanging directly above a pit will perish immediately from a jump attack, instead of falling down. Orange Skittlers, on the other hand, are more passive and will slowly land on the ground regardless of the Kongs' actions. Once they reach the ground, orange Skittlers proceed to crawl towards the Kongs, but will ignore them and continue to go further if avoided.
The Kongs will lose a heart point after mere contact with a Skittler. They cannot approach a Skittler with a roll attack if the enemy is hanging from a thread, though other attacks will work. However, once on its feet, the enemy can be defeated with any attack, including a roll.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
In Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, several Skittlers can be seen in the background of the level Forest Folly, frozen in blocks of ice.
