#Squitter the Spider

PART 2!! Donkey Kong Country 2 animal buddies, Sonic-ified!

[thecartoongamer]

Inktober Day 25: Squitter the Spider, from Donkey Kong Country. I can only wonder what he would look like in a modern game, jumping around, "spittan" webs...

[smallmariofindings]

In the Creepy Caverns level of the Kaos Kore area in Donkey Kong Country 3, if Squitter the Spider (who is found after the mid-level checkpoint) is taken back to the very beginning of the level, the first Krumple enemy will become glitched and take on a yellow palette, as shown in the screenshot.

Spider yaoi anyone?

Like it's shown that arich died after his fight with Dixie and Kiddy, so who's to say that he couldn't have interacted with squitter after?

Also the size difference, imagine the cuddles

Finished the Animal Buddy roundup today.

We have Engaurde the Swordfish, Squitter the Spider, Rattly the Rattlesnake, now we have Bzzit!

While not classified as an Animal Buddy in the Rayman series, he’s basically the Squawks the Parrot replacement. He appears in levels where Blue Lums aren’t available. There are also going to be Animal transformations, like in DKC2 and DKC3. Bzzit comes with his own “No Bzzit sign”, a transformation barrel land an icon at the bottom left of the screen.

Name: Squitter the Spider

Debut: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest

Did someone say MORE BUGS?... It was me. I did. Get a load of THIS goof!

Squitter is a giant spider with a hilarious, unrealistic face who wears hilarious, realistic sneakers on each of his eight feet. And he is your friend! The only invertebrate out of all the Animal Buddies, in fact!

If Diddy or Dixie hops on Squitter’s back, they can take advantage of his spider powers! These include spitting webs to defeat enemies, and spitting webs to create platforms. No walking on walls for you, but web platforms are a neat way to implement web-building in a platformer!

And yes, I specified “spitting” twice for a reason. Instead of using spinnerets like a normal spider, Squitter’s silk comes right out of his ridiculous mouth. How unrealistic!... or is it?

Here, we have a spider of the family Scytodidae! With that kinda-orangey coloration, the generous helping of black spots, and the black bands on its legs, it sure brings Squitter to mind, don’t you think? But that’s not all! These spiders are known as “spitting spiders”, for their ability to spit venom-infused silk to attack prey... which comes from their chelicerae, on their faces!

Do you think they had all this in mind when designing Squitter? I have no idea! But it’s entirely possible that we could contact one of the character designers on Twitter and find out, just how the world learned the intricacies of Klump’s fashion sense!

Also, I’m posting all these Smash trophies of Squitter simply because they exist. He was the only Animal Buddy outside the first game and Jungle Beat to even get a trophy in Brawl, and even got one in Smash 4, despite being entirely irrelevant! Someone at Nintendo must have a soft spot for Squitter... and no, I don’t work at Nintendo! It wasn’t me, I swear!

WASA-B RATES YOUR TARTAR ANTI ASMR

(Server shenanigans again, there is no context, only meme)

@fallenagent-au​​​​​

Is that a syringe tail? Hot. Liquid brains though? Do they make a sloshing noise every time they turn around? That’s hilarious. 7/10, I would shake them like a snow-globe.

(Click to see more Tartar ratings below vvv)

@nameless-octoling​​​​

Nice braces dawg, circuitry on fleek. Etc etc. You look like trouble, I like that in a man. Shark teeth supremacy. Somehow, you also look like an English teacher who would lecture me on some random bass symbolism in a book I only read the sparknotes for. 6/10

@lillygoat17​

Nice robot bod, I hope that ink section is squishy like one of those gel packs with the sparkles. 8/10 looks bite-able.

@versussashimi​​​​​

Twink energy. He looks like he’d try to sell me the secret to perpetual energy, then laugh at me when he sees me bankrupt and living under a bridge. Real door-to-door salesman energy. 9/10.

@ratflamt​​​​​

Made of titanium alloy but still a softie. Why does this guy look like he volunteers at a children’s hospital? Look at this face. Sub energy, as in that substitute teacher you can walk all over. 7/10, I would push his buttons.

@kamabo-reset​​​​​

Woah, almost cuter than the last guy. Diggin’ the half-shaved look. Seems polite, would poison my wine after paying for dinner. 7/10

@little-creecher​​​​​

NOODLE ARMS—Ehem. Nice eyeliner, looks like they have that steady surgeon hand, easy 9.5/10. For no reason at all, my number is 410 OC1-V280

@fiery-is-in-pain​​

…………. Not a robot. Actually. I think this is one of those things the kids call a “meme”. That jawline could kill someone. 0/10, not a robot.

@mekmech​​​​​

If Doc Ock met a spider, Nice mandibles btw ;) Wanna show me what those arms can do, baby~? Really diggin’ the optical LED sensor, 9/10 good design.

@dj-ai​​​​​

👁️ One word, smokin’. Lovin’ the nod to Hypnothesis. This gal looks like those bots that try to catfish you on sketchy websites. No actual robo detected though, so ya got some points deducted from the score. 7/10

And last but hardly least, T-vax. 10/10. Spouse material, plant lover, and human knowledge infodumper. Meticulous to a maddening degree. Fun fact: I love space jam, Elvis, Queen, and various other elements of human pop culture of which I am well versed in, T-vax please unblock me on squitter--

2 questions: whats the wildlife like on the dk island?(is it as crazy as Dk country returns?) And can Dk speak in your au?

Wildlife on Donkey Kong Isle is varied but I wouldn't say it holds the same array of animals the likes of Africa would,so things like Giraffes and Zebras and Elephants don't live on the island. In fact, I don't actually think many real-life animals exist the same way in this world as they do in the real world; for example I can't for the life of me remember seeing an actual dog aside from the Nintendog, and the only dog I remember seeing and being called a "dog" is Poochie.... which uh. That thing, cute as he is, isn't quite a "dog".

Tangent aside, notable animals that DO exist on Donkey Kong Isle include:

Rambi Rhinos: otherwise known simply as "Rambis", these critters are small rhinos but pack quite the punch. They're friendly and generally approachable, but quite easy to spook.

Expresso: Tall, thin ostriches that lack the ability to fly, but can run super fast. Unlike the real ostrich though, they also have the ability to glide. They get their names from their hyperactive energy and inability to sit still for too long. They often wear some killer shoes for some reason.

Froggy: Huge toads that make their homes near the rivers and swamps of the island. They're large enough to ride like a miniature horse and pack a lot of power in their hind legs; being kicked by one can be devastating.

Squawkers: Huge parrots that are known to be friendly. They are stronger than what their size would hint toward, able to carry even the heavy Donkey Kong with ease while they fly.

Enguardes: A species of swordfish who are freshwater based instead of saltwater. As such, they can't live in the ocean. They are extremely fast and powerful swimmers, so much so they can swim against a waterfall and even "climb" them. In DK Isle, they are often used instead of actual boats for water-travel.

Squitters: Giant spiders that are large enough to ride like a mount. They're known for their near-permanent, toothy grins and huge, wide eyes. Despite how creepy their somewhat goofy appearance might be, they're very friendly and sustain on a fruit diet. Like Expressos they sport some cool kicks: its theorized that they make them out of their durable webs and share with their ostrich friends.

Rattlers: Goofy-lookin rattlesnakes best known for their giant noses and their ability to spring like a pogo-stick. They have rather large fangs and rattles on their tails, but despite their relation to the venomous Rattlesnake they themselves don't have venom. Almost dog-like in behavior, they share the Kongs love for bananas.

------------------

And to answer your other question: No, Donkey Kong can't speak. In fact, none of the Kongs can, at least not verbally. They can’t speak the common language of this world and their vocalizations is what you'd expect from a gorilla, so they typically use sign language to communicate.

Any help they may get with verbal communication comes from the Kremling inhabitants of their island. Kremings do have the ability to speak.

Donkey Kong Country 2′s Animal Buddies, low-res pixel style!

The Animal Buddies, or Animal Friends, are one of the coolest part of the DKC games. And DKC2 is the best game ever made I reckon, so here’s a bunch of my favourite gaming companions (including the GBA remake, which added an ostrich racing minigame). This picture was drawn as an entry to the DKVine “DKC2 Relay” community event, which I am participating in by streaming DKC2′s Gloomy Gulch this coming Friday at 1pm AEDT.

Rambi the Rhino, Rattly the Rattlesnake, Squitter the Spider, Squawks the Parrot, Expresso II the Ostrich, Squeaks/Flapper the Parrot, Enguarde the Swordfish, Glimmer the Angler Fish, Clapper the Seal

[pressatogay]

The 'Thon continues with what is arguably the worst Kong... Tony and I don't even know what its name is. But we DO know Squitter the Spider's name, and we LOVE HIM
