Though Click-Clacks went on to appear in some other ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' platforming games, the sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', features yellow [[Knik-Knak]]s, which act as their replacement in the game in that two [[jump]]s also defeat them, the first of which flips them over. | |||

In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Click-Clacks are common enemies that 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]]). 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 projectile, such as a [[barrel]] or [[Cannonball|kannonball]] at them, or if Diddy or Dixie pick it up and throw it at another enemy. | |||

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 make their second appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.

*Click-Clacks may be derived from an unused "nasty beetle" enemy named "Veedub" (a play on "VW," as in the {{wp|Volkswagen Beetle}}) planned to appear in the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.<ref>{{media link|DKC general naming.jpg|Early DKC general naming sheet}}</ref> | |||
