'''Klanks''' are [[Kutlass]] enemies found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They have a similar appearance to Kutlass but behaviorally act as the successor to [[Krash]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Klanks only appear in the amusement-themed levels [[Krazy Kremland]] in both games, careening across the rickety tracks in a [[Roller Coaster]].
