Biography

Snide is a sly weasle. Snide was the lead designer for the Blast-o-Matic, the ray gun which King K. Rool plans to use to destroy DK Isles. However, after the machine was built, Snide decided that he could not support the Kremlings in their sinister plot, and turned traitor to them, attempting to remedy his actions by helping the Kongs destroy the machine before it's too late.

In the Games

Donkey Kong 64

In Donkey Kong 64, Snide appears in all of the game's regular worlds (and the overworld) in his hideout, Snide's HQ. In order for Snide to figure out how to defuse the Blast-O-Matic, he will need his original blueprints back. These have been split into many pieces, and are now in the hands of K. Rool's beefiest henchmen, the Kasplats. Five Kasplats lurk in every level (besides Hideout Helm) as well as the overworld, each with a different color blueprint corresponding to the color of their hair. Though any Kong can destroy a Kasplat, only the rightful Kongs can pick up the color-coded blueprints they drop.

For each blueprint a Kong returns to his HQ, Snide will give them a golden banana, which is delivered to them through a contrived contraption. There are 40 blueprints total. While at the HQ, the player can also view a screen showing all the blueprints that have been collected so far.

In the final level, Hideout Helm, the number of blueprints the player has collected for Snide determines the time limit given to shut down the Blast-o-Matic. The maximum time limit is 50 minutes.

After every blueprint in the game has been collected and returned, Snide allows the player to replay many of the mini-games that can be found in barrels throughout the game anytime they visit his HQ.
