They come in two colors, red and yellow, the latter being quite rare. The red variation replace the [[Flitter]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2]]'', while the yellow variation replaces [[Click-Clack]]s. | ||
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' Knik-Knaks are fairly uncommon enemies found in only a few of the game's levels. While red Knik-Knaks usually remain stationary in the air, only occasionally venturing onto the ground, the much rarer yellow variety of Knik-Knak are found exclusively on the ground. Knik-Knaks mostly appear in riverbank levels such as [[Riverside Race]] for the red breed and [[Lightning Lookout]] for the yellow breed, but they can also be found in other areas, which highlights their adaptability. These bugs are not as weak as they look, as jumping on them when they are on the ground will only knock them on their backs. While in this defenseless state, Knik-Knaks can either be jumped on again, which will defeat them for good, or be picked up and used as a projectile weapon against other enemies. However, flying Knik-Knaks can be defeated by a single jump, and a cartwheel instantly defeats any Knik-Knak. | In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' Knik-Knaks are fairly uncommon enemies found in only a few of the game's levels.
