History

Donkey Kong Country/Land series

Donkey Kong Country

A Klump with an "A" letter, in the Game Boy Color version of Donkey Kong Country.

Klumps first appear in Donkey Kong Country as a semi-common enemy. Due to their helmets, Klumps cannot be hurt by some attacks (such as Diddy Kong jumping on him). Klumps can only be harmed by either a frontal attack (such as Diddy's cartwheel), Donkey Kong jumping on them, the aid of an Animal Friend, or by having a barrel thrown at them.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, enemies similar to Klumps called Kannons appear. According to the manual, these enemies are Klumps dressed like pirates. Kannons also appear in Donkey Kong Land 2.

Donkey Kong Country novel

An individual Klump appears as an antagonist in the Donkey Kong Country novel. In the first chapter, Klump leads a Kremling squad to take Donkey Kong's Banana Hoard and encounter Diddy Kong. Diddy manages to cartwheel into Klump but he is eventually subdued by the Kremlings and sealed inside a barrel, which Klump promptly kick across the jungle. He then makes off with the bananas.

Klump reappears in the final chapter. When the Kongs board the Gangplank Galleon, Klump taunts Diddy, but the monkey cartwheel into him, sending him overboard.

Donkey Kong Country TV series

General Klump in the Donkey Kong Country animated series

In the Donkey Kong Country animated series a single Klump, aptly named General Klump, is one of King K. Rool's generals. Despite his fearsome appearance, Klump was actually a big softy on the inside.

Donkey Kong 64

Klumps make a reappearance in Donkey Kong 64. Here, they are much larger and have an odd pinkish colouration. They can attack the Kongs physically and throw unripe, green Oranges. They can also be seen eating their Oranges, which is comically followed by an explosion in their stomach, causing them to burp. Although the Kongs can attack Klumps with their direct attacks, they can only truly be defeated by using a shock wave attack, an Orange, a musical instrument, or by having Chunky Kong touch them while in his Hunky Chunky state.

Diddy Kong Pilot

A Klump appears as an unlockable playable character in the 2003 build of Diddy Kong Pilot. He has high speed and weight and low acceleration.
