-'''Slippas''' are a fairly common type of snake that is orange with black stripes. Their coloring resembles the [[:wikipedia:coral snake|coral snake]], a venomous serpent found in several parts of the [[Earth]].
+'''Slippas'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Nintendo Player's Guide, [[Media:DKC Guide 16-17.jpg|Page 17]].</ref> are snake enemies which appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. They are red with black stripes and resemble the real world {{wp|coral snake}}.
 ==History==
 ===''Donkey Kong Country''===
-[[File:I-Slippa.png|thumb|left|A Slippa holding a "I" letter in the [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]].]]
+[[File:I-Slippa.png|thumb|left|A Slippa holding a "I" letter in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color version]] of ''Donkey Kong Country'']]
-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.
+[[File:Reptile Rumble Slippas.png|thumb|The Kongs jump over a few Slippas in Reptile Rumble]]
+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.
-Slippas also appear in ''Donkey Kong Country's'' remake on [[Game Boy Advance]], where they play the exact same role.
+In the boss level [[Boss Dumb Drum]], Slippas are the second pair of enemies that [[Dumb Drum]] releases.
+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.
+===''Donkey Kong Country'' novel===
+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 Diddy stomps him with a double jump. Slippa then escapes back into the darkness.

 ===''Donkey Kong Land''===
-[[File:Slippa DKL.PNG|thumb|right|Sprite from ''Donkey Kong Land''.]]
+[[File:Riggin' Rumble.png|thumb|Donkey Kong encounters Slippas slithering down ropes in Riggin' Rumble]]
-Slippas later appear in the [[Game Boy]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', where they are much more common than in the game's pseudo-prequel. They are essentially the same enemies as they are in ''Donkey Kong Country''. Slippas are mostly found in mines, caves and occasionally factories.
+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]].
-==Characteristics==
+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]].
-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.
-==Levels==
+Slippas appear in fifteen levels:
-===''Donkey Kong Country''===
-*[[Reptile Rumble]]
-*[[Millstone Mayhem]]
-*[[Elevator Antics]]
-*[[Misty Mine]]
-===''Donkey Kong Land''===
 *[[Jungle Jaunt]]
