A red Knick-Knack.

Knik-Knaks (also known as Niknaks) are small red and sometimes yellow beetles encountered in both Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble and Donkey Kong Land 3.

In Donkey Kong Country 3 Knik-Knaks are fairly uncommon enemies found in only a few of the game's levels. While red Knik-Knaks usually remain stationary in the air, only occasionally venturing onto the ground the much rarer yellow variety of Knik-Knak are found exclusively on the ground. Interestingly while battling Belcha, Dixie and Kiddy Kong must throw yellow Knik-Knaks into the giant barrels mouth, this will cause the barrel monster to burp; if Belcha burps enough times he will fall into a pit.

In Donkey Kong Land 3 Knik-Knaks, here known as Niknaks never touch the ground during the entire game, they are always found flying in the air.
