| == History ==
| | Click-Clacks first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' here they are fairly common enemies appearing in several levels. Click-Clacks are quite durable capable of surviving being jumped, unfortunatly once jumped on Click-Clacks are left defenseless due to be knocked on their backs. Once in this state Click-Clacks can either be jumped on again to be defeated or used as a projectile weapon against other enemies. Eventually a flipped over Click-Clack will manage to turn right-side up. A Click-Clack can be instantly defeated by using either [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[cartwheel]] attack or by having [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] use a ground based [[Helicopter Spin]]. |
| ===''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 [[Cannonball|kannonball]] at them, or if Diddy or Dixie pick it up and throw it at another enemy.

| ===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
| | An enemy similar to Click-Clacks, called [[Knick-Knack]]s appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 3]]''. |
| 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. | |
