'''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.
 
'''Click-Clacks''' are blue beetle enemies that appear in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.

===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
===''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.

Like most enemies, Click-Clacks move around in a set pattern. Click-Clacks have some durability, as shown from if [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] or [[Dixie Kong]] jump on one, it falls on its back undefeated. While it is in this state, the Click-Clack is defenseless, allowing the [[Kong]]s to jump on it again to defeat it. However, after a few seconds from falling on its back, the Click-Clack hops back onto its feet and continues moving around. The Kongs can also pick up a Click-Clack while it is on its back. Click-Clacks can instantly be defeated from either Diddy's [[Cartwheel Attack]] or Dixie's [[Helicopter Spin]], or by throwing a [[barrel]] or [[kannonball]] at them.


;Level appearances
In the game's sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', Click-Clacks seem to have been succeeded by the yellow [[Knik-Knak]]s, who behave similarly to Click-Clack.

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.

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.
