Click-Clacks, also formatted Klick-Klack,[1] [2] are enemies introduced in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest . They are blue stag beetles with durable bodies.
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.
Donkey Kong Bananza[edit ]
While Click-Clacks do not physically appear in Donkey Kong Bananza , they are referenced by a major landmark in the Canyon Layer named Click-Clack Smokestack.
Super Mario-kun[edit ]
A Click-Clack makes a brief cameo in Volume 14 of Super Mario-kun . The last part of the book has a series of comics based on Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, including a 'find the differences' activity between several enemies, including Click-Clack.
