Click-Clacks first appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. They are common enemies and appear in several [[level]]s in every world (except [[The Flying Krock]] and the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]]).
Click-Clacks are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. They appear in several [[level]]s in every world (except [[The Flying Krock]] and the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]]). Like most enemies, Click-Clacks move around in a set pattern. Click-Clacks have to be [[jump]]ed on twice to be defeated, with the first jump flipping the Click-Clack onto its back, leaving it defenseless to a second hit. Click-Clacks can be instantly defeated from either Diddy's [[Cartwheel Attack]] or Dixie's [[Helicopter Spin]], by throwing a projectile, such as a [[barrel]] or [[Cannonball|kannonball]] at them, or if Diddy or Dixie pick up a Click-Clack lying on its back and throw it at another enemy.


Like most enemies, Click-Clacks move around in a set pattern. They are shown to have some durability, because [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can defeat a Click-Clack by jumping on it twice. From the first jump, the Click-Clack falls onto its back. It is defenseless while in this state, and the [[Kong]]s can jump on it again to defeat it. The Kongs can pick up a Click-Clack while it is on its back, and can also defeat it by throwing it at another enemy. Click-Clacks can instantly be defeated from either Diddy's [[Cartwheel Attack]] or Dixie's [[Helicopter Spin]], by throwing a carriable object, such as a [[barrel]] or [[kannonball]] at them, or if Diddy or Dixie pick it up and throw it at another enemy.
Yellow [[Knik-Knak]]s behave like their successor in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' in that two [[jump]]s also defeat them, the first of which flips them over.
 
During the end credits of the Japanese release, Click-Clacks are known as Beetles, rendered in katakana as ビートル in this game.
 
In the sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', yellow [[Knik-Knak]]s act as the successor to Click-Clacks in that they are also defeated from two jumps, the first of which flips them over.


===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
Click-Clacks make their second appearance in ''Donkey Kong Land 2''. Here, Click-Clacks behave almost identically to their first appearance aside from one minor difference: if either Diddy or Dixie jump on a Click-Clack, the player can move them as they bounce back in midair. Click-Clacks appear in fewer levels than in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''.
Click-Clacks are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They behave identically to their first appearance, though the player is given control of Diddy or Dixie as they bounce back in midair after their first jump on a Click-Clack.

As with ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', during the end credits of the Japanese release, Click-Clacks are known as Beetles. However, unlike in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', the name is rendered in English instead of katakana.

Click-Clacks make a reappearance in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and its sequel ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', where they patrol around [[Peg Board]]s. They cannot be attacked from the front, as this makes their pincers injure [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]].

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

Click-Clacks are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They appear in several levels in every world (except The Flying Krock and the Lost World). Like most enemies, Click-Clacks move around in a set pattern. Click-Clacks have to be jumped on twice to be defeated, with the first jump flipping the Click-Clack onto its back, leaving it defenseless to a second hit. Click-Clacks can be instantly defeated from either Diddy's Cartwheel Attack or Dixie's Helicopter Spin, by throwing a projectile, such as a barrel or kannonball at them, or if Diddy or Dixie pick up a Click-Clack lying on its back and throw it at another enemy.

Yellow Knik-Knaks behave like their successor in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! in that two jumps also defeat them, the first of which flips them over.

Donkey Kong Land 2[edit]

Click-Clacks are enemies in Donkey Kong Land 2. They behave identically to their first appearance, though the player is given control of Diddy or Dixie as they bounce back in midair after their first jump on a Click-Clack. Click-Clacks appear in fewer levels than in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. In the end credits, Click-Clacks are classified with "The Baddies."

DK: King of Swing / DK: Jungle Climber[edit]

Click-Clacks are enemies in both DK: King of Swing and DK: Jungle Climber. They patrol around Peg Boards. If attacked from the front, Click-Clack damages Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong.
