'''Klanks''' are [[Kremling]] 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]].

In their debut appearance, Klanks only appear in two levels, [[Target Terror (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Target Terror]] and [[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rickety Race]]. They have a different role between each level. Klanks can only be defeated if the Kongs jump on them with their Roller Coaster, or ram into them while the Roller Coaster is traveling at a high speed.

Klanks are featured in a variety of colors, including: red, blue, yellow, pink, light green, and dark green. Every Klank acts the same, regardless of their color.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Klanks appear in six colors, including two shades of green, light blue, orange, yellow, and red. Most of these color types differ from the five in the original game.


In Target Terror, Klanks drop [[barrel]]s behind at the [[Kong]]s, attempting to knock them out of their Roller Coaster. In Rickety Race, Klanks do not perform this attack; in the level, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] can optionally run over ten Klanks (or pass them) to obtain a [[DK Coin]] before reaching the end. Every time they do so, a chequered flag appears on-screen, showing the Kongs' current position.

Unlike their predecessor Krash, Klanks do not attempt to ram into the Kongs, except in Rickety Race's [[Bonus Area]]. In both Target Terror and Rickety Race, Klanks also ride in the same direction as the Kongs, rather than the opposite.

In their debut appearance, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Klanks only appear in two levels, Target Terror and Rickety Race. Klanks can only be defeated if the Kongs jump on them with their Roller Coaster, or ram into them while the Roller Coaster is traveling at a high speed. Klanks appear in a variety of colors: blue, orange, pink, yellow, and green. Every Klank behaves identically, regardless of color. In Target Terror, Klanks drop barrels behind at the Kongs, attempting to knock them out of their Roller Coaster. In Rickety Race, Klanks do not perform this attack, but Diddy and Dixie Kong can either jump on ten Klanks or pass them to obtain a DK Coin before reaching the end. The only time when Klanks try to run into the Kongs is in Rickety Race's Bonus Area, because in both levels, Klanks ride in the same direction as them. During the end credits, a Klank appears under the "Kremling Kuthroats" category with the other Kremlings.

In the Game Boy Advance version, Klanks appear in six colors, including two shades of green, light blue, orange, yellow, and red. Most of these color types differ from the five in the original game.
