'''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.

They are essentially a purple variant of [[Kobble]]s and are named after their action of skidding across slippery surfaces, more specifically icy ground.

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 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 [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Skiddas and Kobbles make a whining, high-pitched noise when defeated. They also appear in more levels than Kobbles, who no longer appear in [[Tidal Trouble]].

Skiddas return in the game's pseudo-sequel, ''Donkey Kong Land III''. In this game, they can be found in the three snow levels. Because Skidda and Kobble share the exact same sprite when defeated, Skiddas have the same color as Kobbles in this port (gray for Game Boy, green for [[Game Boy Color]]). Skidda did not receive a separate defeated sprite in the Game Boy Color port. 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]].
Skidda and Kobble share the exact same sprite when defeated. In the [[Game Boy]] version, Skiddas and Kobbles are the same color because of the [[Game Boy]]'s monochromatic screen. This also occurs in the Japanese [[Game Boy Color]] port, in which both enemies have green sprites.

Template:Species-infobox Skiddas are purple Kremlings who appear in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III. They are essentially a purple variant of Kobbles and are named after their action of skidding across slippery surfaces, more specifically icy ground.

History

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 Kongs can defeat them with one hit.

In Dixie Kong's Photo Album, a photograph of a Skidda appears under the Kremling Kreeps enemy class.

In the Game Boy Advance version, Skiddas and Kobbles make a whining, high-pitched noise when defeated. They also appear in more levels than Kobbles, who no longer appear in Tidal Trouble.

Donkey Kong Land III

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 share the exact same sprite when defeated. In the Game Boy version, Skiddas and Kobbles are the same color because of the Game Boy's monochromatic screen. This also occurs in the Japanese Game Boy Color port, in which both enemies have green sprites.
