These small [[Kremling]]s resemble {{iw|wikipedia|crocodile}}s more closely than most Kremlings, as they are quadrupedal and have large pairs of jaws, hence their name. Klaptraps are usually light blue (with bright yellow stripes on their back), but they can also come in a variety of colors, such as red, green, and purple. They are less anthropomorphic than other Kremlings and act like pets to the [[Kremling Krew]]. Their name comes from "claptrap," a word meaning "nonsense," playing off the enemy's snapping bear trap-like jaws. [[Klampon]]s and [[Krimp]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' are similar in that regard, respectively.

Melee'' [[Trophy]]</ref>) are [[Kremling]]s that originated in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They are small, four-legged crocodilians with large mouths, hence their name. They cannot be defeated by a front attack, but they are vulnerable to a stomp. They come in blue, red, [[Purple Klaptrap|purple]], and green varieties. Klaptraps may be based off [[Snapjaw]]s, crocodilian enemies [[Mario]] would send after [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Junior]]''.

[[File:Klaptrap.png|thumb|left|Artwork from ''Donkey Kong Country'', showing a Klaptrap's original design]]
====''Donkey Kong Country''====
Klaptraps appear commonly in ''Donkey Kong Country''. They move left or right continuously while snapping their jaws, which plays a digitized sample of one of the game artists clattering his teeth together, something that 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, and this even damages the player character in the process.<ref>{{cite|quote=Klaptrap's teeth are too big to use the roll attack! You need to jump on him!|author=[[Cranky Kong]]|date=1994|title=''Donkey Kong Country''|location=[[Cranky's Cabin]]|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> Since Klaptraps are short, [[Expresso]] can use its long legs to move straight through them. Klaptraps have a purple variant unique to [[Loopy Lights]] that [[jump]] in sync with the [[Kong]]s, with some moving and others staying put. The jumping 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]]. Furthermore, the latter remake has a [[photograph]] of Klap Trap that can be obtained by [[Hand Slap]]ping one.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/SD0yEKf1bM8?feature=shared&t=1992|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' <nowiki>[GBA] 101% Longplay Walkthrough Playthrough Full Movie Game [4K60ᶠᵖˢ UHD🔴]</nowiki>|date=May 15, 2022|timestamp=33:12|author=Kawaii Games|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=December 26, 2024}}</ref>
In their debut game, ''Donkey Kong Country'', the regular blue Klaptraps are common enemies that can be easily avoided. They even pass harmlessly under [[Expresso the Ostrich]]'s tall legs, allowing the Kongs to avoid them entirely when riding their [[Animal Friend]].
 
Purple Klaptraps also appear rather frequently on the stage [[Loopy Lights]], and also in a bonus level in the stage [[Trick Track Trek]]. These Klaptraps will always jump at the same time that the [[Kong]]s try to jump, which makes them more dangerous than the normal blue Klaptrap.


===''Donkey Kong Land''===
Klaptraps never appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', nor in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', instead being replaced by their relatives, [[Klampon]] and [[Krimp]], respectively.
Klaptraps is one of three Kremling enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', along with [[Krusha]]s and [[Kritter]]s. Klaptraps function the same, but the jumping variety does not return.


===''Donkey Kong Country'' novel===
====''Donkey Kong Land''====
A Klap Trap has a role in the [[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|''Donkey Kong Country'' novel]] of being an antagonist working for the Kremling factory. He is only written about on page 46,<ref name="boss"/><ref name="notice"/><ref name="defeat"/> and mentioned on page 48.<ref>{{cite|quote=He [Donkey Kong] told them about the conversation between Klap Trap and Zinger.|page=48|title=''Donkey Kong Country|author=Teitelbaum}}</ref> Klap Trap defends [[King K. Rool]] while scuffling with [[Zinger]], stating K. Rool had the right to be absent since he is their boss.<ref name="boss">{{cite|author=Klap Trap|quote=He's the boss, so he can do what he likes.|isbn=0-8167-3731-2|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' novel|page=46|language=en|publisher=Troll Communications LLC|date=1995}}</ref> before realizing that the [[Kong]]s were listening in on their conversation.<ref name="notice">{{cite|author=Klap Trap|title=''Donkey Kong Country''|quote=There's someone there!|publisher=Troll Communications LLC|page=46|language=en}}</ref> Klap Trap is defeated from [[Diddy Kong]] spinning into him.<ref name="defeat">{{cite|He spun right into Klap Trap, knocking him across the factory floor.|author=Teitelbaum, Michael|title=''Donkey Kong Country''|page=46|publisher=Troll Communications LLC}}</ref>
Klaptraps later appear in <i>Donkey Kong Country</i>'s semi-sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. Klaptraps are relatively unchanged in this appearance aside from being monochromatic due to the [[Game Boy]]'s graphical limitations.


===''Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle''===
===[[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|''Donkey Kong Country'' novel]]===
A Klap Trap is encountered by [[Diddy Kong]] within the [[Kremling]]s' supply room during the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle]]''.<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle''|date=1995|publisher=Troll Communications LLC|language=en|isbn=0-8167-3872-6|author=Teitelbaum, Michael|quote=There, doing an inventory of supplies was Klap Trap|page=53}}</ref> Klap Trap quickly dodges Diddy's attempts to attack it, causing the latter to crash into a storage shelf.<ref>{{cite|author=Teitelbaum|title=''Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle''|quote=But Klap Trap was quick.

An individual Klap Trap appears as an antagonist in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' novel. An employee of the Kremling factory, Klap Trap has a small chat with his coworker [[Zinger]] about [[King K. Rool]]'s absence at the site and he then notices that the [[Kong]]s are eavesdropping on them. Klap Trap lunges at the group, but [[Diddy Kong]] defeats him by doing a [[cartwheel]]. The Kongs destroy the factory shortly after.

Klap Traps are ammunition for the [[Klap-Blaster]] weapon in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' animated series. They are bipedal and capable of speech, unlike their counterparts in ''Donkey Kong Country''. A Klap Trap often makes a sarcastic comment about its job or what it had just eaten. The show also features a singular [[Jr. Klap Trap|Klap Trap character]] larger than his brethren.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]] Klaptraps are, instead of soldiers, ammunition for a weapon called a [[Klap-Blaster]]. Unlike the Klaptraps of the games, the ones on the show are capable of speaking. Often times when a Klaptrap is seen, it makes a sarcastic comment about its job or what it had just eaten. The show also features a singular [[Klaptrap (character)|Klaptrap character]] larger than his brethren.

===''Donkey Kong 64''===
===''Donkey Kong 64''===
[[File:Klaptrap64.jpg|thumb|150px|left||Klaptraps were completely redesigned in ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
After several years of absence, Klaptraps finally made a return in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', where they are given a new ability. Once a Klaptrap is defeated, its set of teeth will continually attack the Kongs until they break. Of course, the teeth will not attack the Kongs if an [[Orange]] was used to defeat the Klaptrap.
Klaptraps are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. The standard type is colored green, sports a more vicious expression, and behaves similarly to guard dogs, wearing a collar and growling like them. When a Klaptrap sees a [[Kong]], it growls like a dog and chomps at them. A Klaptrap can be defeated in one hit from any attack, although this still leaves behind its set of dentures, which clamp after the Kongs until eventually crashing into a solid object or falling into water. This can be averted by defeating the Klaptrap using either an [[Orange]] or a musical instrument move. There are purple Klaptraps, which can be defeated only by using either an Orange or a musical instrument, with their spoils being three Oranges. One Purple Klaptrap is directed to move the helm-shaped hamster wheel left and right in the opening scene. There are also red Klaptraps, which appear in two cutscenes: In the "[[Creepy Castle|Castle Intro]]", a giant red Klaptrap is sent out by K. Rool to execute a fleeing [[Kasplat]].
 
Also introduced in the game are [[Purple Klaptrap]]s. These Klaptraps are colored purple (instead of the usual green color) and are slightly larger than the Kongs. They are immune to all of the Kongs' attacks (even the shockwave attack), but can be defeated with an Orange. Some of ''Donkey Kong 64's'' cutscenes show [[King K. Rool]] with a small Klaptrap that seems to be his pet.  


There is a Klaptrap who sits on [[King K. Rool]]'s lap in several cutscenes, being petted by its master, likely referencing ''{{iw|wikipedia|James Bond}}'' villain {{iw|wikipedia|Ernst Stavro Blofeld|Blofeld}}. K. Rool's pet Klaptrap is last seen startled by K. Rool when he's awoken by the alarm, revealing the Kongs have entered [[Hideout Helm]]. There is another specific Klaptrap, and it is playable in the [[minigame]] [[Beaver Bother!]], where it has to guide a number of Gnawties down a hole within a barrel by snarling at them.
Also in ''Donkey Kong 64'', a Klaptrap is playable in the [[minigame]] Beaver Bother; this marks the first time a Klaptrap is playable. However, just like Krusha, it is unknown whether or not if the Klaptrap you play as in Beaver Bother would actually choose to help the Kongs on their quest to defeat K. Rool.

Klaptraps are obstacles in the [[100M Vine Climb]] minigame of ''[[Donkey Konga]]''. They appear in light-blue and pink varieties, both of which walk on the [[vine]]s and their connected bushes. A Klaptrap can cause Donkey Kong to fall off of the vines on contact, before he respawns seconds later. They are depicted with longer bodies than usual.

{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Klaptrap}}
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Klap Traps have appeared in Donkey Kong's stages, [[Kongo Jungle (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Kongo Jungle]] and [[Jungle Japes (stage)|Jungle Japes]]. They swim through the water rapid and leap out of it in an attempt to bash characters to their doom. Since the stage returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Klap Traps are yet again seen; here they act the same. Likewise, Klap Traps reappear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', as the stage Jungle Japes reappears in this game.
[[File:Klaptrap SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Two Klaptraps in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
Klaptraps are recurring stage hazards in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Klaptraps appear in both {{iw|smashwiki|stage}}s representing the {{iw|smashwiki|Donkey Kong (universe)|''Donkey Kong'' games}}, [[Kongo Falls|Kongo Jungle]] and [[Jungle Japes (stage)|Jungle Japes]]. They swim through the water rapids and jump out from it, attempting to damage {{iw|smashwiki|fighter}}s by biting them. In Kongo Jungle, Klaptraps can also fall into, occupy, and use the [[Barrel Cannon]]; these Klaptraps are colored orange, while those on Jungle Japes are light blue. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', Klaptraps retain their role in the returning Jungle Japes stage. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Klaptraps return in both Kongo Falls (renamed from Kongo Jungle) and Jungle Japes, both of which return from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', although the Klaptraps in Kongo Falls are instead colored brown.


Klaptraps have two other roles in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. A Klaptrap also appears as the first and only [[Assist Trophy]] from the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' series, where it lunges and bites on to opponents. If Klaptraps are hit, they make the same sound they did when they were defeated in ''Donkey Kong Country''. One additionally appears as an Advanced Attack [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], which must be unlocked by playing {{iw|smashwiki|Classic Mode (SSBU)|Classic Mode}} with [[King K. Rool]] and reaching the goal of the bonus stage within 45 seconds.
===''Donkey Konga''===
 
Klaptraps also make minor appearances in ''[[Donkey Konga]]''.
===''Mario Power Tennis''===
Klaptraps are obstacles in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''. Green and red types appear in [[DK Jungle Court|Donkey Kong's Jungle Court]], where they try to bite players and slow their movement. They are designed after the blue type's appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country''. The minigame [[Balloon Panic]] features hungry Klaptraps in red, green, and blue varieties, and gameplay involves the player character stopping them from popping the balloons.


===''Mario Superstar Baseball''===
===''Mario'' series===
Klaptraps are obstacles in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. They are encountered in the [[Donkey Kong Jungle (baseball stadium)|Donkey Kong Jungle]] stadium. There is only the green variety, and functions like in ''Mario Power Tennis''. Hitting a baseball into a Klaptrap's mouth earns that player character's team a [[Star Skill|Team Star]].
====''Mario Power Tennis''====
Klaptraps appear in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' in [[DK Jungle Court|Donkey Kong's Jungle Court]]. They try to bite the player, causing the player to slow down. Klaptraps also appear in the minigame [[Balloon Panic]]. Here, the player must protect several balloons from hungry Klaptraps.


===''Mario Party 7''===
====''Mario Superstar Baseball''====
[[File:MP7_PyramidPark2.png|thumb|Klaptraps attempt to bite [[Wario]] as he tries to collect coins in the lake.]]
Klaptraps are distractions in Donkey Kong's course in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. Klatraps try to bite the outfielder's heels, slowing them down. However, if the player were to hit the baseball into a Klaptrap's mouth, it will give the player a Team Star.
Klaptraps are non-playable characters in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. Two green Klaptraps appear in a lake in an oasis on [[Pyramid Park]]. By landing on a Happening Space in front of the lake, the player character has to swim in it and collect coins while avoiding the Klaptraps, which take away two coins with each bite.


===Unused appearances===
====''Mario Party 7''====
====''Diddy Kong Pilot'' (2003)====
Klaptraps make a cameo in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' as enemies in one of the [[Pyramid Park]] events.
Klap Trap is a playable character in ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]''{{'}}s 2003 build. He is a member of Team Kremling. Klap Trap's name is in the first cup, Klap Trap Kup, and he can be unlocked by completing the cup and then beating him in a dogfight match. Klap Trap has the highest acceleration and the lowest top speed compared to the other racers. Unlike other games, Klap Trap speaks with vocalized dialogue, and Klap Trap has a bratty attitude in a few of his lines.<ref>{{cite|author=Klap Trap|quote=Stupid dumb lad!|date=2003|title=''Diddy Kong Pilot''}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Klap Trap|date=2003|title=''Diddy Kong Pilot''|quote=Take that ape!
