The first appearance of Slippas is in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' where they, along with [[Gnawty]]s and [[Zinger]]s are one of the most common [[enemies]]. They appear most in cave levels, and can easily be defeated by being jumped on. If a [[Kong]] touches them, without rolling or jumping, however, the monkeys will be damaged. The [[List of bosses|boss]], [[Dumb Drum]], also attacks the Kongs with Slippas, who will slither around and attack.
In their debut appearance, ''Donkey Kong Country'', Slippas appear in four levels: [[Reptile Rumble]], [[Millstone Mayhem]], [[Elevator Antics]], and [[Misty Mine]]; all of them are subterranean except Millstone Mayhem. Slippas move by quickly slithering on the ground. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can defeat Slippas by using any attack, including rolling, jumping, or throwing a [[barrel]] at them. When a Slippa is defeated, it makes a hissing noise. In Misty Mine, there are some [[black drum]]s that release an indefinite number of Slippas.


In the boss level [[Boss Dumb Drum]], Slippas are the second pair of enemies that [[Dumb Drum]] releases.
Slippas also appear in ''Donkey Kong Country's'' remake on [[Game Boy Advance]], where they play the exact same role.


In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], the Kongs can obtain a [[photograph]] of Slippa by rolling into three of them in a row.

A single Slippa appears as a minor antagonist in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' novel. As the Kongs explore the Abandoned Mines, Slippa and [[Army]] ambush the group. Slippa proclaims that "thessse minesss are oursss" and attempts to attack [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], but the monkey stomps him with a double jump. Slippa then escape back into the darkness.

Slippas reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', where they have slightly different role than in ''Donkey Kong Country''. They appear in many more levels and in a wider variety of environments, including mines, jungles, and skyscrapers. Slippas sometimes pop out of [[Basket of snakes|baskets]].
Slippas later appear in the [[Game Boy]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', where they are much more common than in the game's SNES counterpart. They are essentially the same enemies as they are in ''Donkey Kong Country''. Slippas are mostly found in mines, caves and occasionally factories.


In [[Riggin' Rumble]] and [[Skyscraper Caper]], Slippas slither down the ropes until they reach the bottom. These Slippas can only be defeated by a thrown [[barrel]].
==Characteristics==
Like most enemies, Slippas attempt to attack [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] or [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] by charging into them. However, the Kongs can jump on or roll over a Slippa to defeat it. Sometimes [[Oil Drum]]s and other types of [[barrel]]s will continually spawn an endless number of Slippas until destroyed.


Slippas appear in fifteen levels:
