Snake Rattle 'n' Roll is a video game by Rare for the NES (there was also a Genesis version, but it was pretty hard-to-find even then since it was only released in Europe) in which you control snakes through geographically diverse levels with the hopes of eating enough balls (called Nibbley-Pibbleys) to open the gate to the next level.In each level, you have to avoid obstacles, traps, giant feet, fish, anvils, spikes, etc. on your quest to eat balls and become fat. Once you're heavy enough (or, in a two-player game, you and your friend are heavy enough combined), you can continue on to the scale, trip it to open the level gate, and go inside, only to repeat the process on the next level. Along the way you can collect power-ups that increase your speed or the length of your tongue.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })All in all, the game went over pretty well with critics and most reviews drew similar comparisons to Rare's other big-ticket NES title, Battletoads; namely, it's a well-done game with nice graphics, great music, innovative gameplay and very, extremely, stupidly high difficulty.A somewhat obscure sequel of sorts was released on the Game Boy called Sneaky Snakes. Aside from being on a strict 2D plane rather than isometric 3D, the game plays very similarly to its predecessor.

Astral Finale: The final level is on the moon. With an appropriate change in gravity, which doesn't exactly make it easier, since it's a Boss Battle. The additional level added in the Genesis version also counts, considering it's an alien planet also with low gravity.

American Kirby Is Hardcore: Compare the NES boxart which shows Rattle and Roll as cartoon snakes looking goofy and cheery to the Genesis boxart, where both Rattle and Roll resemble real snakes about to snack on some frightened Nibbley Pibbleys.

Added Alliterative Appeal: Four the names given to the levels for the Genesis version — Grassy Greens (Level 1), Razor Ravine (Level 3), Anvil Alley (Level 4), and Slippery Slopes (Level 9).

Adaptation Name Change: For no apparent reason, the Pibballs and Pibbleboings are renamed Pibbleballs and Pibblesprings in the Genesis version.
