''Snake Rattle 'n' Roll'' is a video game by [[Rare]] for the [[NES]]<ref>There was also a [[Sega Genesis|Genesis]] version, but it's pretty rare</ref> in which you control snakes through geographically diverse levels with the hopes of eating enough balls to open the gate to the next level.
 
In each level, you have to avoid obstacles, traps, [[Everything Trying to Kill You|giant feet, fish,]] [[Anvil Onon Head|anvils]], [[Spikes of Doom]], 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.

=== This game contains examples of: ===
* [[Bonus Level of Hell]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZfucy9sGy8 The extra level] in the Genesis version, although you don't have to do anything special to get to it (besides beat the game, [[Nintendo Hard|although some would argue that's pretty damn special by itself]]).
* [[Contemptible Cover]]: [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:File:Snake_Rattle_n_Roll_gameboxSnake Rattle n Roll gamebox.jpg |This]] is the boxart for all releases. It's worth noting that that's pretty much exactly what the game looks like in action, however.
* [[Depth Perplexion]]: The level design and drop shadows do a pretty good job of making it obvious how enemies relate to one another, but this can still happen, most infamously on level 5 where the balls sprout wings and fly freely around.
* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: On Level 4, you can lead an anvil onto the switch, allowing you to complete the level without eating a single ball.
Line 30:
* [[Parabolic Power Curve]]: The wind-up key. In theory: a helpful speed boost. In practice: an amusing way to kill yourself.
* [[Punny Name]]: Bigfoot. Not Sasquatch, he's just a ''big foot''.
* [[Slippy -Slidey Ice World]]: Levels 9 and 10.
* [[Spikes of Doom]]
* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: A few minor examples.
Line 36:
** Level 8 goes through four underwater pools.
** And level 11 is a straight-up boss battle, something the previous levels had lacked (Bigfoot is more of a miniboss).
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?]]: Did we mention there's a level where you have to put on a fish tail and swim up a waterfall? Because there's totally a level where you have to put on a fish tail and swim up a waterfall.
