'''Rattly''', originally named '''Slinky Snake''',<ref>{{cite|date=1995|title=''Donkey Kong Land'', ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) WORLD EXCLUSIVE Review booklet|quote=New characters include a tennis shoe-clad spider and Slinky Snake, who are there to help out in the same way as Rambi, Expresso and Co.|page=21}}</ref> is a large, green, red-ringed rattlesnake and an [[Animal Friends|Animal Friend]] appearing mainly in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Rattly's body is coiled up like a spring, which he bounces on to move around. Rattly's main attribute is the ability to bounce high, and because of this, he has been considered a successor to [[Winky]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

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'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''===

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]].
