They are blue beetles with durable bodies.


Click-Clacks first appeared 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. Unfortunately, once jumped on Click-Clacks are left defenseless as one jump will 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 flipped over Click-Clack will manage to turn right-side up. 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 appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. There is no real difference between the Click-Clacks of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and the ones in ''Donkey Kong Land 2''.
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.


An enemy similar to Click-Clacks, called [[Knick-Knack]]s, appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 3]]''.
===''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."


Click-Clacks made a reappearance in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. Click-Clacks will also be appearing in the upcoming sequel to ''DK: King of Swing'', ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]''.
===''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]].


It is unknown what relation Click-Clacks have to the [[Kremling Krew]], if any.

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.
