He essentially acts as a replacement for Winky, as he is capable of leaping high and pouncing on enemies. He only appears in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2''. |
In the ''Donkey Konga'' games, artwork of Rattly could appear while playing in the Freestyle Zone, and images of Rattly were seen carved into a bridge in the background of an area in ''Donkey Konga 2''. In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', he was referenced in the form of a [[Metro Kingdom|New Donk City]] street named "Rattley Street". Rattly also appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as an Advanced-rank Support [[Spirit]], with the effect of increasing jumping ability. When fought in a Spirit battle, Rattly's Spirit would possess a [[Yoshi]] with a boosted leaping ability. | In the ''Donkey Konga'' games, artwork of Rattly could appear while playing in the Freestyle Zone, and images of Rattly were seen carved into a bridge in the background of an area in ''Donkey Konga 2''.

He could shoot projectile webs to defeat enemies, or special webs that expanded into platforms on command. With web platforms, Squitter could go nearly anywhere he wanted, but the platforms were only temporary. Aside from his web projectiles there was nothing to protect Squitter from enemy attacks. |
− | Squitter initially appeared in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', but he also appeared in both ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' and ''Donkey Kong Land III''. In the former game, he was featured in a K3 level where Squitter had to navigate a large factory while dodging fireballs being launched by a bazooka in the foreground. Squitter also appears as a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Like Squawks in the first ''Donkey Kong Country'', he cannot be ridden, and instead he shines a light through murky waters to act as a guide for the Kongs. He is only featured in one level known as Glimmer's Galleon. |

− | [[Enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3|Nibbla]] | + | Not exactly an Animal Buddy, a [[Enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3|Nibbla]] does follow Dixie and Kiddy Kong through an underwater level of Donkey Kong Country 3. His appetite is shown through his color; he is blue when his hunger is content, but he slowly turns red as he gets hungrier. If he gets hungry enough he will attack Dixie and Kiddy. Thus Dixie and Kiddy must make sure he eats alot along the level, although eating Lurchins will only make Nibblas hungrier. |

Hoofer was a fast moving ram that Donkey Kong could ride to take down anything that got in his way. This was best put to use by taking down as enemies to gain beats. After eating fruit, Hoofer was capable of making incredibly long jumps which Donkey Kong could use to gain even more beats. However besides making Hoofer jump, DK had no way of controlling the creature's direction. |

As to be expected it was found underwater generally just swimming about aimlessly. By grabbing on to the dorsal fin, DK could take a high speed ride underwater. Orco's bulky size was excellent for breaking down barriers. In addition the whale could jump out of the water quite high, enabling DK to get more beats or reach places he couldn't normally reach on his own. |

In "Jungle Beat", DK would use Flurl as a way to safely float down a chasm and reach a safe place. Although Flurl only floated downwards due to DK's weight, he could gain a slight air boost if a upward air current caught him. |

During ''Jungle Beat'', Donkey Kong often used the birds to reach new heights. As they were often several Helibirds, he could quickly transfer to one Helibird from another (and easily earn Beats this way). However he wasn't the only one to use the birds, as the small white monkeys did as well as the Ninjapes. |
