| '''Klaptraps''' are [[Kremling]]s that originated in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They are lizard-like creatures 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, and green varieties.
| | How about nice Admin Soup for breakfast? |
| | |
| 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]]''.

| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Donkey Kong'' series===
| |
| ====''Donkey Kong Country====
| |
| Purple Klaptraps appear in a bonus level on the stage [[Trick Track Trek]], and appear rather frequently on the stage [[Loopy Lights]]. 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. Klaptraps later appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'s'' semi-sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. Klaptraps are relatively unchanged in this appearance.
| |
| | |
| Klaptraps never appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', nor in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. However, their relatives, [[Klampon]] (DKC2) and [[Krimp]] (DKC3), made appearances in those games.
| |
| | |
| ====''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 it breaks (although [[Orange Grenade|orange grenades]] can prevent the teeth from attacking).
| |
| | |
| Also introduced in the game are [[Giant 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 Grenade]]. Some of ''Donkey Kong 64's'' cutscenes show [[King K. Rool]] with a small Klaptrap that seems to be his pet.
| |
| | |
| Also in ''Donkey Kong 64'' a Klaptrap is playable in the mini-game Beaver Bother; this marks the first time a Klaptrap is playable.
| |
| | |
| ====''Donkey Konga====
| |
| Klaptraps also make minor appearances in ''[[Donkey Konga]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario'' series===
| |
| Klaptraps appear in ''[[Mario Power Tennis (Nintendo GameCube)|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 mini-game [[Balloon Panic]]. Here, the player must protect several balloons from hungry Klaptraps.
| |
| | |
| 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 make a cameo in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' as enemies in one of the [[Pyramid Park]] events.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
| |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Klaptraps (called Klap Trap on its trophy) appear in Donkey Kong's stages, [[Kongo Jungle]] and [[Jungle Japes]]. They swim through water and attempt to bash a character into the abyss. Since the stage returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', so does the Klaptraps.
| |
| | |
| ==Appearances in the [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|''Donkey Kong Country'' Animated Series]]==
| |
| [[Image:CartoonKlaptrap.jpg|thumb|right|Several Klaptraps inside a [[Klap-Blaster]].]]
| |
| In the [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]] Klaptraps were, instead of soldiers, ammunition for a weapon called a [[Klap-Blaster]]. Unlike the Klaptraps of the games the ones on the show were capable of speaking, often times when a Klaptrap was seen it would make a sarcastic comment about its job or what it had just eaten. The show also featured an abnormally large Klaptrap named [[Junior the Giant Klaptrap]].

| |''This low-slung alligator made its first appearance in Donkey Kong Country. You can subdue it by jumping on its back, but its powerful jaws make it dangerous to approach from the front. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, it swims in the river and sometimes jumps in the Barrel Cannon to stop players from using it.
