Klank

Klanks are Kremling enemies found in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. According to Donkey Kong Country 2's credits, Klanks belong to the "Kremling Kuthroats" enemy class.

They only appear in the amusement ride levels of Krazy Kremland, namely "Target Terror" and "Rickety Race". Klanks are similar to Kutlasses in look, but to Krashes in manner, as they wildly careen along the rickety tracks on Roller Coasters, trying to drop barrels at the Kongs to knock them out of their Skull Cart. This way of attack is only seen in "Target Terror". In "Rickety Race", all 10 Klanks in the level must be defeated before reaching the finish area in order to obtain that level's DK Coin, which is not mandatory.

Klanks partly take the role of Krashes, a Mine Cart-riding enemy from Donkey Kong Country. Unlike Krashes, Klanks do not attempt to ram into the Kongs, except in a Bonus Area of Rickety Race. They also ride in the same direction as the Kongs rather than the opposite. Klanks can only be defeated if Diddy and Dixie jump on them with the Skull Cart.

Klanks come in a variety of colors, which includes red, blue, yellow, pink, light green, and dark green. Their color does not affect how they move or attack though.
