Knik-Knaks appear in two color variations, red and yellow, in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' The red Knik-Knaks flap their wings to stay in midair, and most of them do not move around. This behavior is shared with [[Flitter]]s from the previous game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. The red Knik-Knaks can be defeated with a single hit from the [[Kong]]s, usually by [[jump]]ing on them. There are instances where the Kongs must jump from Knik-Knaks to reach a [[Bonus Area]] or to obtain items, such as an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. Yellow Knik-Knaks are a bit stronger than their red counterparts, because unlike them, yellow Knik-Knaks cannot fly and walk back and forth instead. Just like [[Click-Clack]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', a yellow Knik-Knak can be defeated from being jumped on twice; when [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] first jump on a yellow Knik-Knak, it flips over on its back. They have the option to pick up the enemy and use it as a projectile. After a few seconds, if the flipped Knik-Knak is not picked up, it jumps right back up and continues moving around. Yellow Knik-Knaks can instantly be defeated from a [[roll]] attack. | |||
At some point during [[Bobbing Barrel Brawl]], [[Ellie the Elephant]] encounters two red Knik-Knaks briefly walking on the ground and then taking off. At some point, the two Knik-Knaks stop moving and remain in one position. Ellie must jump from both Knik-Knaks to gain enough momentum to fall down into the second [[Bonus Barrel]] at the bottom of a nearby pool. | |||
Yellow Knik-Knaks play an essential role in [[Belcha's Barn]], where [[Belcha]] spits out [[barrel]]s that each a yellow Knik-Knak. The Kongs can throw the Knik-Knak into Belcha's mouth to make it burp, propelling it backwards, until Belcha eventually falls into a gap at the end. | |||
In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], Knik-Knaks are classifed as part of the "[[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]]." | |||
