| | '''Klasps''' are agile [[Kremling]]s who hide within red [[TNT Barrel]]s. They first appeared in the third level of [[Cotton-Top Cove]], [[Kreeping Klasps]], but they were also seen in a few mountain levels, such as [[Krevice Kreepers]] and [[Criss Kross Cliffs]]. |

| '''Klasps''' are red [[Kremling]]s that hide in [[TNT Barrel]]s and climb across horizontal [[rope]]s. They first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They are similar to [[Kuchuka]]s and [[Knocka]]s, two other Kremling types that also hide in barrels. Klasps are the successor to [[Kaboom]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Their name is a pun on "[[wiktionary:clasp|clasp]]", meaning to firmly hold on to something. | |

| Klasps first appear in the [[Cotton Top Cove]] level, [[Kreeping Klasps]], in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', as the main and titular enemy. Despite this being their debut, Klasps more commonly appear in mountain levels like [[Krevice Kreepers]] and [[Criss Kross Cliffs]]. In Kreeping Klasps, the Klasps always follow a set path, and some of them move faster than others. In later levels, starting with Krevice Kreepers, the Klasps hang motionlessly until [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] pass them. Any Klasp within the Kongs' range begins to move after them, based on the direction that they move in. The Kongs must avoid Klasps because if they make contact with one, the Klasp explodes, injuring the lead Kong. Klasps cannot be defeated safely or in any other way. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Klasp is categorized under the [[Kremling Kreeps]] enemy class. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Klasps have a land variant, [[Kracka]]s. While they resemble Klasps and explode like them, Krackas behave identically to Knockas. In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Klasps do not chase after Dixie and Kiddy, unlike some in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''
| | They hang from ropes, going back and forth. In Kreeping Klasps, they follow a set path, not chasing the [[Kong]]s at all. Starting in Krevice Kreepers however, when they see a Kong, they'll change to "Attack Mode" and attempt to chase the poor ape whenever he/she is anywhere near their rope. They would be but a minor irritation if not for the fact that the barrels they live in explode on contact. Thus, any Kong near one of these should take all care to vacate the premises before a violent explosion ensues. |

| ==Profiles and statistics==
| | Klasps only appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. The only difference is that in ''Donkey Kong Land III'', they always moved in a fixed pattern instead of actively seeking out prey. |

| | Klasps can't be defeated by anything. Therefore, they should be avoided if all possible. Although, they do take themselves out when they do explode. |
