====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
Klobbers are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. At first, a Klobber looks like an ordinary [[barrel]], which they hide inside of, but when [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] approach a Klobber, it reveals itself and runs after the [[Kong]]s, attempting to repeatedly knock into them. As it runs, Klobbers makes a noise similar to the sound of tires screeching. Unlike most other enemies, Klobbers cannot hurt the Kongs on contact, but it can push them into a [[pit]] or a different hazard, including an enemy. A Klobber stops moving and retreats into its barrel for a short time if the Kongs either jump onto it or throw a projectile at it. The Kongs can grab the Barrel that the Klobber is hiding in and throw it in the manner of an ordinary barrel, which defeats the Klobber as a result. Klobbers can also be defeated from touching [[bramble]]s or any other environmental hazard.

Klobbers are common enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. From a distance, Klobbers look like an ordinary [[barrel]], as they are hiding inside the barrel. When [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] approach a Klobber, it reveals itself and runs after the [[Kong]]s, attempting to repeatedly knock into them. Unlike most enemies, this does not injure the Kongs directly, but it can lead them into being pushed into a pit or another harmful obstacle. As Klobbers move around, they make a similar noise to the sound of tires screeching.


Aside from their explosive [[TNT Barrel]] counterpart, [[Kaboom]]s, Klobbers have two additional color variations of their own: yellow ones and gray ones with red eyes. The difference is that each time a yellow Klobber hits Diddy and Dixie, they drop a [[Banana Bunch]], while the gray ones cause them to drop a [[Red Balloon]] for each hit; for either type, the Kongs have to quickly recollect the items before they disappear. Both the yellow and gray Klobbers are less common, especially the latter type, and mostly just appear in later [[K. Rool's Keep]] levels and [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]] levels. All three Klobber types appear throughout [[Klobber Karnage (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Klobber Karnage]]. In the end credits, Klobbers all appear under the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class.
The Kongs can make a Klobber temporarily stop and retreat inside of its barrel by either jumping on it or throwing something at it. If the Kongs are quick enough, they can grab the Barrel before the Klobber re-emerges from it, and use it just like a normal Barrel. By tossing the Barrel, the Kongs destroy it, defeating the contained Klobber in the process. Klobbers can also be defeated if they touch any environmental hazards that can damage the Kongs, such as [[bramble]]s.


Though Klobbers do not appear in the sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', a successor to them, [[Knocka]]s, do appear.
Aside from [[Kaboom]]s, there are two additional variants of Klobber: yellow ones and gray, red-eyed ones. They share the same traits as ordinary Klobbers, although the yellow ones cause the Kongs to drop a [[Banana Bunch]] each time it rams into them, while the gray ones cause them to drop a [[Red Balloon]] for each hit; the Kongs have to quickly recollect the items before they disappear. Both the yellow and gray Klobbers appear in the later levels and appear less frequently than green Klobbers. Gray Klobbers are even less common than yellow ones, and mostly only appear in later [[K. Rool's Keep]] levels and the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]] levels. There is even a Lost World level named after Klobbers, titled [[Klobber Karnage (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Klobber Karnage]], and all three types of Klobbers appear throughout.
 
In the end credits, Klobbers appear appear under the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class.

A Klobber makes a brief cameo in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 14|Volume 14]] of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. The last part of the book has a series of comics based on ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', including a 'find the differences' activity between several enemies, including Klobber.
In [[Super Mario-kun Volume 15|Volume 15]], before the heroes board the [[Gangplank Galleon]] taking advantage of the frozen sea, [[King K. Rool]] throws Klobbers at them, but Mario and Yoshi, with their [[fireball]]s and [[Fire watermelon|red watermelon]] respectively, burn them. In the next chapter, a Klobber traps DK in a cage during the final battle, where he would remain for the rest of the chapter.


===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
====''Donkey Kong Land 2''====
Klobbers are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. All of them behave like the standard green type, and do not appear in color varieties, since the [[Game Boy]] hardware does not support full color. Their titular level, [[Klobber Karnage (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Klobber Karnage]], also returns, but has an entirely different layout. Klobbers appear in "The Baddies" category of the end credits.
Klobbers make their second appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', where due to the Game Boy's limited color palette, they are not featured in color varieties. As such, all the Klobbers in this game act like green Klobbers. Their titular level, [[Klobber Karnage (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Klobber Karnage]], also reappears but with an entirely different layout. Klobbers appear in "The Baddies" category of the end credits.

Green Klobbers and [[Kaboom|TNT Bomber]]s also return in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They are uncommon enemies, appearing only in [[Angry Aztec]], [[Gloomy Galleon]], and [[Crystal Caves]]. When encountered, Klobbers shout "C'mon" and can damage a Kong by running into them or if the Kong tries to directly attack them. A Klobber can be defeated from either shockwave attack, an [[orange]], or a musical instrument move.
Green Klobbers and [[Kaboom|TNT Bomber]]s also return in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They are uncommon enemies, and are only found in parts of [[Angry Aztec]], [[Gloomy Galleon]], and [[Crystal Caves]]. This time, Klobbers shout a sound akin to "C'mon" when encountered and can damage the active Kong by running into them or if they attempt direct attacks to them. Klobbers can be defeated from the shockwave attack, an [[orange]], or a musical instrument move.


===''Donkey Konga 2''===
In addition, Klobbers are no longer wearing hoop earrings as their small ears were removed, most likely due to hardware limitations.
A Klobber is among the character artworks that can briefly appear on-screen in Freestyle Zone of ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'' as the player hits the beats.


===''DK: Jungle Climber''===
====''Donkey Konga 2''====
Klobbers are enemies in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. They are the only other Kremling enemies besides [[Kritter]]s. A Klobber climbs on [[Peg]]s and tries to bounce into the Kongs. Only two Klobbers appear, both within a very foggy area of [[Spooky Woods]], and the player has to refer to the bottom screen's map to determine where the Klobbers are on [[Peg Board]]s.
In ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'', Klobbers make a cameo appearance in the Freestyle Zone as one of the characters whose artwork briefly displays on-screen while the player hits the beats.
