DKC Purple Klaptraps

Question.svg This talk page or section has a conflict or a question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.
Sprite of a purple Klaptrap in Donkey Kong Country.

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...)? --Metalex123 (talk) 11:48, 7 June 2016 (EDT)

Gonna bump this year-plus-old conversation point to say that I had thought of that as well. Thing is, these were referred to specifically as "Purple Klaptraps" while the ones on DKC were just referred to as "Klaptraps"/"Klap Traps." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 05:32, 26 October 2017 (EDT)

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.

Furthermore, purple Klaptraps appear in the original SNES Donkey Kong Country, where they jump. But adding that to here would be problematic, as the GBA version makes them red. Red ones also appear in DK64, but only in cutscenes. This just seems odd to be split.

Finally, the guide that distinguishes these two also calls Gnawties "Beavers," Kritters "Kremlings," Kasplats "Krushas," and Koshas "Clubbies." That's not even getting into "Bones," "Ghost," "Robokremling," and "Shroom," which if Japanese names are anything to go by, should be "Krypt," "Kreeper," "Krank," and "Kroom," which are far more likely. (Seriously though, why has no one asked Steve Mayles about them yet?)

Anyways, this is an odd color exception, and should be merged.
