Dance Spiders are orange and black in color, with six legs and a pair of fang-like structures near their faces, which has three eyes on it. Despite this, they appear bipedal. Their main legs are covered in spikes, and their bodies are divided into three sections, a more insect-like trait, though, despite this, they still resemble real world spiders. After their cutscene plays, the background music will change to a piano solo. Dance Spiders are defeated by punching their center eye twenty times. Once defeated, a dance spider will explode, leaving eight bananas behind in its wake. Despite being enemies, they technically do not attack, like some others in the game, though they can damage [[Donkey Kong]] if he runs into their spiky legs.
