History

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest/Donkey Kong Land 2

Klobbers mark their first and second appearance in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest as commonly found enemies. At first sight, they might seem like regular barrels, but if Diddy or Dixie walks close to them, they will reveal themselves to the Kongs, showing that they are actually Kremlings rather than barrels. When they are jumped on, they will become unconscious, but after a few seconds, they will reveal themselves and attack the Kongs. These enemies try to knock Diddy and Dixie into hazardous stuff such as enemies, pits, etc. When they are in their barrels, they can be used as an item to be thrown at enemies, walls, etc. which will lead them being defeated. Klobbers are known to not be very intelligent because if they chase Diddy or Dixie, they might land into a bottomless pit. There are yellow and black varieties of Klobbers only appearing in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest with the yellow Knocka stealing Bananas from the Kongs and the black one stealing lives from the Kongs and the black ones are known to be the most dangerous, due to stealing lives and if all are stolen, it is a game over. There are also similar enemies called Kabooms which are related to Klobbers and the Kabooms hide in TNT Barrels instead of regular ones and are red colored.

In Donkey Kong Land 2, Klobbers make a reappearance and have no major changes and only contains the green variety of them in this game.

Donkey Kong 64

Klobbers reappear in Donkey Kong 64 as uncommon enemies and are only found in the areas, Angry Aztec, Gloomy Galleon, and some areas in Crystal Caves. Strangely when they run into the Kongs, they do get attacked and these enemies are immune to almost all of the Kongs attacks, except a shock wave attack or an Orange Grenade being thrown at them. Only the green varieties appear in this game.
