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 carriable object, such as a [[barrel]] or [[kannonball]] at them, or if Diddy or Dixie pick it up and throw it at another enemy.

During the end credits of the Japanese release, Click-Clacks are known as Beetles, rendered in katakana as ビートル in this game.


In the sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', yellow [[Knik-Knak]]s act as the successor to Click-Clacks in that they are also defeated from two jumps, the first of which flips them over.

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''.
