'''Knik-Knaks''' are beetle-like enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' | '''Knik-Knaks''' are beetle-like enemies in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They are common enemies in both games and most often appear in riverside-themed [[level]]s. | ||

[[File:Bobbing Barrel Brawl two Knik-Knaks.png|thumb| | [[File:Bobbing Barrel Brawl two Knik-Knaks.png|thumb|In Bobbing Barrel Brawl, Ellie must jump from two red Knik-Knaks to gain enough momentum to enter a Bonus Barrel into a nearby pool.]] | ||
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Knik-Knaks appear in two color variations, red and yellow. The red Knik-Knaks continuously flap their wings to remain airborne; most of them do not move around. This behavior is shared with [[Flitter]]s from the previous game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. The red Knik-Knaks can be defeated with a single hit from the [[Kong]]s, usually by [[jump]]ing on them. There are instances where the Kongs must jump from Knik-Knaks to reach a [[Bonus Area]] or to obtain items, such as an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. | |||
Yellow Knik-Knaks are a bit stronger than the red ones. Unlike their red counterpart, yellow Knik-Knaks cannot fly and therefore walk back-and-forth on the ground. They are a bit stronger than red Knik-Knaks because the Kongs only defeat these Knik-Knaks by jumping on them twice. When [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] first jump on a yellow Knik-Knak, it flips over on its back. They have the option to pick up the enemy and use it as a projectile. After a few seconds, if the flipped Knik-Knak is not picked up, it jumps right back up and continues moving around. Yellow Knik-Knaks can instantly be defeated from a [[roll]] attack. These Knik-Knaks share a behavior with another enemy from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', [[Click-Clack]]s. | |||
Yellow Knik-Knaks are featured in [[Belcha's Barn]], where the boss fight against [[Belcha]] takes places. Here, Belcha spits out individual barrels containing a yellow Knik-Knak inside. The Kongs can throw the Knik-Knak into Belcha's mouth to make it burp backward. If done enough times, Belcha falls backward into a pit and the Kongs win at the battle. Yellow Knik-Knaks are the only type which appear in [[Lightning Lookout]], not including a [[Bonus Area]] where the Kongs must defeat seven red Knik-Knaks. In said level, Dixie can also hold a Knik-Knak above her head to protect herself from being struck by lightning. Both red and yellow Knik-Knaks appear in the Game Boy Advance version-exclusive level [[Surf's Up]]. | |||
At some point during [[Bobbing Barrel Brawl]], [[Ellie the Elephant]] encounters two red Knik-Knaks briefly walking on the ground and then taking off. At some point, the two Knik-Knaks stop moving and remain in one position. Ellie must jump from both Knik-Knaks to gain enough momentum to fall down into the second [[Bonus Barrel]] at the bottom of a nearby pool. | At some point during [[Bobbing Barrel Brawl]], [[Ellie the Elephant]] encounters two red Knik-Knaks briefly walking on the ground and then taking off.

According to the game's credits, Knik-Knaks are a part of the "[[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]]" enemy class. | |||
In | ===''Donkey Kong Land III''=== | ||
In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Knik-Knaks were renamed to '''Niknaks''', as shown in the ending credits. Only the flying Niknaks return in the game: their ground variant does not return. In the [[Game Boy Color]] port, these Niknaks are red, just like in their debut appearance. | |||
