I just noticed that purple Klaptraps (not the DK64 ones) appears in Donkey Kong Country, but the only thing they do in it is jumping at the same time as the Kong. Should we at least mention these Klaptraps here (something like ''Not to be confused with...'')? --[[User:Metalex123|Metalex123]] ([[User talk:Metalex123|talk]]) 11:48, 7 June 2016 (EDT) | I just noticed that purple Klaptraps (not the DK64 ones) appears in Donkey Kong Country, but the only thing they do in it is jumping at the same time as the Kong.

It's a color variation. The behavioral difference is a simple difference in durability. And since this isn't an RPG, it's not like the former Gritty Goomba/Limbo Bro/Dry Bones/Chuck Guy scenario. | It's a color variation. The behavioral difference is a simple difference in durability.

::::::::There is this part from page 33 the Nintendo Power guide ("Tiny’s Shell Game" in Jungle Japes): "''As a mini-monkey, Tiny can enter the beehive, use oranges to blow up the giant Klaptrap in the room with the Tiny Switch, then pound the switch. The next room also has two purple Klaptraps and another Tiny Switch. That switch opens the final room with the Golden Banana and an angry duo of a bee and a giant Klaptrap.''" So it seems like the writer considers it a giant (at least relative to the player character), but it also doesn't use "Purple Klaptrap" as the enemy's proper name. (Also, it would seem on further inspection that the idea to keep various enemy colors merged may have stemmed from an [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive_18#Split_the_colored_enemies|older proposal]].)

:::::::::Anyways, like I said, N64 games had a tendency to screw around with size parameters (take a look at ''Banjo-Kazooie'' or ''Ocarina of Time'', for example). The game also features about 4 different sizes of [[Gnawty]] around Cranky's lab in Jungle Japes, and there's a seemingly-large [[Zinger]] in the same hive the large purple Klaptrap is found. The only one that really should be split is the oversized Kosha (known by the wiki as "Giant Viking Kremling"), since it doesn't respawn and causes a unique effect across Crystal Caverns while it still exists.
