'''Klanks''' are [[Kremling]] enemies found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They have a similar appearance to [[Kutlass]] but behaviorally act as the successor to [[Krash]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Klanks only appear in the amusement-themed levels [[Krazy Kremland]] in both games, careening across the rickety tracks in a [[Roller Coaster]].

Klanks are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. They can be defeated from either being [[jump]]ed or rammed into by a Roller Coaster traveling at a high speed. Klanks appear in a variety of colors, including blue, orange, pink, yellow, and green (changed to two shades of green, light blue, orange, yellow, and red in the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]]), though all of them behave the same. In [[Target Terror (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Target Terror]], Klanks drop [[barrel]]s behind them while in their Roller Coaster to attack, though in [[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Rickety Race]], they do not use this move. Instead, Rickety Race involves either defeating or passing several Klanks along the way, and a [[DK Coin]] appears at the end if the player characters bypass every Klank. In Rickety Race's [[Bonus Area]], Klanks ride in the direction opposite of the [[Kong]]s, being the only time where it is possible for Klanks to crash into them. In the cast roll, a Klank is categorized as part of "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" with the other Kremlings.
In their debut appearance, Klanks only appear in two levels, [[Target Terror (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Target Terror]] and [[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rickety Race]]. They have a different role between each level. Klanks can only be defeated if the Kongs jump on them with their Roller Coaster, or ram into them while the Roller Coaster is traveling at a high speed.


Klanks are featured in a variety of colors, including: red, blue, yellow, pink, light green, and dark green. Every Klank acts the same, regardless of their color.

Klanks are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They are encountered in [[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Rickety Race]] only, where up to five Klanks can be passed to earn a DK Coin, not ten like in the previous game. During the end credits, a Klank appears under "The Baddies" category with the other enemies and bosses.
In Target Terror, Klanks drop [[barrel]]s behind at the [[Kong]]s, attempting to knock them out of their Roller Coaster. In Rickety Race, Klanks do not perform this attack; in the level, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can optionally run over ten Klanks (or pass them) to obtain a [[DK Coin]] before reaching the end. Every time they do so, a chequered flag appears on-screen, showing the Kongs' current position.
 
Unlike their predecessor Krash, Klanks do not attempt to ram into the Kongs, except in Rickety Race's [[Bonus Area]]. In both Target Terror and Rickety Race, Klanks also ride in the same direction as the Kongs, rather than the opposite.
 
During the end credits, Klank is categorized under "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" with the other Kremlings.

Klanks are enemies introduced in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They are Kutlasses that ride a Roller Coaster, done similarly to how Krashes ride Mine Carts in Donkey Kong Country.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

Klanks are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They can be defeated from either being jumped or rammed into by a Roller Coaster traveling at a high speed. Klanks appear in a variety of colors, including blue, orange, pink, yellow, and green (changed to two shades of green, light blue, orange, yellow, and red in the remake), though all of them behave the same. In Target Terror, Klanks drop barrels behind them while in their Roller Coaster to attack, though in Rickety Race, they do not use this move. Instead, Rickety Race involves either defeating or passing several Klanks along the way, and a DK Coin appears at the end if the player characters bypass every Klank. In Rickety Race's Bonus Area, Klanks ride in the direction opposite of the Kongs, being the only time where it is possible for Klanks to crash into them. In the cast roll, a Klank is categorized as part of "Kremling Kuthroats" with the other Kremlings.

Donkey Kong Land 2[edit]

Klanks are enemies in Donkey Kong Land 2. They are encountered in Rickety Race only, where up to five Klanks can be passed to earn a DK Coin, not ten like in the previous game. During the end credits, a Klank appears under "The Baddies" category with the other enemies and bosses.
