__NOTOC__
A '''Klank''' is a [[Kremling]] enemy in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They only appear in the rollercoaster levels  "[[Target Terror]]" and "[[Rickety Race]]" in [[Krazy Kremland]]. They are similar to [[Kutlass]] in look, but to [[Krash]] in manner, as they wildly careen along the rickety tracks in [[minecart]]s, trying to drop barrels at the [[Kong]]s to knock them off of their carts. This way of attack only is seen in "Target Terror". In "Rickety Race", all 10 Klanks in the level must be defeated to obtain that level's [[DK Coin]].

'''Klanks''' are enemies found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They are [[Kutlass]]es that ride a [[Roller Coaster]], similar to [[Krash]]es from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Klanks only appear in the amusement-themed levels in [[Krazy Kremland]] in both games.


Klanks come in a variety of colors, which includes red, blue, yellow, light green and dark green. However, their color does not affect how they move or attack.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
[[File:Rickety Race.png|thumb|left|''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' screenshot of the Kongs going after a Klank in Rickety Race]]
In their debut appearance, ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', 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]]. 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 [[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, but [[Diddy Kong|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 [[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.
 
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Klanks only appear in one level, [[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Rickety Race]], where the object is instead to pass five Klanks to obtain a DK Coin, rather than ten. During the end credits, a Klank appears under "The Baddies" category along with the other enemies and bosses.
