'''Click-Clacks''' are blue beetles found in various locations on [[Crocodile Isle]].
'''Click-Clacks''', also formatted '''Klick-Klack''',<ref>{{cite|date=January 1997|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 46|page=47}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=March 1996|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 36|page=21}}</ref> are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are blue beetles with durable bodies.


Click-Clacks first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. In this game, the insects are fairly common enemies, appearing in several [[level]]s. Click-Clacks are quite durable; they are capable of surviving after being [[jump]]ed on. Once jumped on, they remain defenseless, as it takes only one jump to knock them on their backs. While in this state, Click-Clacks can either be jumped on again to be defeated or be picked up and used as a projectile weapon against other enemies. Eventually, a Click-Clack that has been flipped on its back will manage to turn right-side up once more. A Click-Clack can be instantly defeated by using either [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[cartwheel]] attack or by having [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] use a ground-based [[Helicopter Spin]].
== History ==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
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.


Click-Clacks also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. In this game, Click-Clacks act almost identically to their portrayal in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', with only one difference affecting gameplay. In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', after jumping on a Click-Clack, the player will still have the ability to control the [[Kong]]s in midair; this is not the case in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' &mdash; here, the Kongs will experience minor knock-back after jumping on a Click-Clack.
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.
 
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
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."


An enemy similar to Click-Clacks, called [[Knik-Knak]], appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.
===''DK: King of Swing'' / ''DK: Jungle Climber''===
Click-Clacks are enemies in both ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. They patrol around [[Peg Board]]s. If attacked from the front, Click-Clack damages [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]].


Click-Clacks make a reappearance in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and its sequel ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]''. In these games they climb around on [[Peg]]s and they cannot be attacked from the front as they can hurt [[Donkey Kong]].
===''Super Mario-kun''===

A Click-Clack (under its Japanese name, which is just '''Beetle''') 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.

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.
