Klaptraps appear commonly in ''Donkey Kong Country''.

Klaptraps are common enemies in their debut appearance, ''Donkey Kong Country''. They move left or right continuously while snapping their jaws, which plays a sound effect that is a digitized sample of one of the game artists clattering his teeth together and had startled other team members.<ref>{{cite|author=Shesez|date=November 21, 2019|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwWHzilbQ34&t=2989s|timestamp=49:49|title=The Donkey Kong Country 25th Anniversary Interview Documentary|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 8, 2023}}</ref> Klaptraps are unaffected by a [[Roll Attack]] from the front, which even damages the player character in the process. Since Klaptraps are short, [[Expresso]] can use its long legs to move straight through them. Klaptraps have a purple variant unique to [[Loopy Lights]], and a [[bonus room|Bonus Area]] of [[Trick Track Trek]] shortly beforehand. This type [[jump]]s whenever the [[Kong]]s do, though some purple Klaptraps remain in one spot and do not move around. This type was recolored brown in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|first remake]], then to red in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|second remake]].
