'''Clapper''', also written as '''Klapper''',<ref>{{cite|date=February 1997|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 47|page=47}}</ref> is an [[Animal Friend]] who first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Clapper got his name from the popular depiction of seals clapping with their flippers, which he himself does in the games. He has silver fur, large eyes, and a tan snout with a black nose and five whiskers on each side. His hind two flippers somewhat resemble a fluked whale tail. A character resembling Clapper, named [[Seal]], later appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.

==History==
'''Clapper''' is an [[Animal Friend]] who appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', in the levels [[Lava Lagoon]] and [[Clapper's Cavern]]. A character resembling Clapper, named [[Seal]], later appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Clapper reappears in the Freestyle Mode in ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]''.

[[File:ClappersCavernSNES1.png|thumb|left|Clapper's appearance in Clapper's Cavern]]
Clapper got his name from the popular depiction of seals clapping with their flippers, which he himself does in the games. He has silver fur, large eyes, and a tan snout with a black nose and five whiskers on each side. Like [[wikipedia:Pinniped|all seals]], he has four flippers, the hind two of which somewhat resemble a fluked whale tail. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', Clapper makes stock sound effect of seals every few seconds.
Clapper is an ally in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. He always sits next to a body of water, making a stock seal sound effect every few seconds. Clapper has the ability to cool the water temperature if [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] jump onto him, causing Clapper to breath onto then clap his flippers, hence his name. In [[Lava Lagoon (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lava Lagoon]], Clapper cools down the boiling lava water so that the Kongs to safely swim through, while in [[Clapper's Cavern (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Clapper's Cavern]], a level bearing his name, Clapper freezes the water into solid ice so that the Kongs can safely cross above [[Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Snapjaw]]. In both levels, the water that Clapper had cooled reverts to its original temperature after a while. Clapper is the only Animal Friend in the game to not have his own [[Animal Crate]].


===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
==Description==
Clapper is an ally in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. His role is the same as before, and he first appears in the game's iterations of [[Lava Lagoon (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Lava Lagoon]] and [[Clapper's Cavern (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Clapper's Cavern]].
[[File:ClappersCavernSNES1.png|thumb|left|Clapper's appearance in Clapper's Cavern in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'']]
Clapper always sits next to a body of water stationary, and he has the ability to cool the water temperature. To do so, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must jump on Clapper, who breathes into the water and then claps his flippers (hence his name). In Lava Lagoon, Clapper cools down the boiling lava water, allowing [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] to safely swim through. In Clapper's Cavern, a level bearing his name, Clapper freezes the water into solid ice, allowing the Kongs to safely cross above [[Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Snapjaw]].


===''Donkey Konga 2''===
After a while, the water that Clapper had cooled changes back into its original temperature; therefore the Kongs should quickly move through the [[level]]. Since the water temperature only changes temporarily, Clapper appears a few times throughout both Lava Lagoon and Clapper's Cavern to compensate. Clapper is the only Animal Friend in the game who does not have its own [[Animal Crate]].
Character artwork of Clapper can appear in ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]''{{'}}s Freestyle Zone.
