'''Click-Clacks''', also formatted '''Klick-Klack''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 46, page 47.</ref><ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 36, page 21.</ref> are blue beetle enemies first appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Though Click-Clacks went on to appear in some other ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' platforming games, the sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', features yellow [[Knik-Knak]]s, which act as their replacement in the game in that two [[jump]]s also defeat them, the first of which flips them over.

== History ==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Click-Clacks are common enemies that appear in several [[level]]s in every world (except [[The Flying Krock]] and the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]]). 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 projectile, such as a [[barrel]] or [[kannonball]] at them, or if Diddy or Dixie pick it up and throw it at another enemy.

===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
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''. In the end credits, Click-Clacks are classified with "The Baddies," and the Japanese version shows their Japanese name, Beetle, in English instead of katakana.

===''DK: King of Swing'' / ''DK: Jungle Climber''===
Click-Clacks make a reappearance in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and its sequel ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', where they patrol around [[Peg Board]]s. If attacked from the front, Click-Clack damages [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy 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.
