'''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.
'''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.

===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble''===  
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.
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 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]].
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.

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.

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]].
