In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Clambos are found on the seafloor in some of the underwater levels. They repeatedly open and close their shells, and spit out one to five pearls at a time in a fixed direction whenever they open their shell. The number and trajectory of the pearls is different for each Clambo. If [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] touch a pearl, they take damage. [[Coral Capers]] is the first [[level]] to feature a Clambo, though only one appears near the level exit. Several Clambos appear in the underwater level [[Clam City]], where they are the main obstacle encountered throughout. Clambos are one of the few underwater enemies who cannot be defeated by [[Enguarde]], who even takes damage if it attempts to attack a Clambo. | In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Clambos are found on the seafloor in some of the underwater levels.

The second boss is a giant Clambo named the [[Giant Clam]], who is fought at [[Seabed Showdown]] at the end of [[Kremlantis]]. Although it is a boss, the Giant Clam is based on the Clambos from ''Donkey Kong Country'', as it can spit out pearls and has a very similar design to the point of the Clambos' ''Donkey Kong Country'' artwork being reused for the Giant Clam. The Giant Clam has the added ability to move around underwater, and it can also aim where it shoots out its pearls. | The second boss is a giant Clambo named the [[Giant Clam]], who is fought at [[Seabed Showdown]] at the end of [[Kremlantis]].

They’re valuable, sure, but the damage they cause is more costly. The only other object in Clambo’s lair is a sponge, which chooses to disappear and reappear in random comers of the room. What folly is this!''"</ref> positioned at the corner of the screen. Its only purpose is that its shell can bounce the pearls spit out by the Giant Clam back at it. When the sponge is hit by a pearl, its shell flicks open briefly, revealing two eyes, before it reappears, usually in another corner. | ||
