'''Klaptraps''' ({{ja|クラップトラップ| Kurapputorappu}}, ''Klaptrap'') are crocodile-esque [[enemy|enemies]] from the [[Donkey Kong (universe)|''Donkey Kong'']] universe that appear in the stages {{SSBM|Kongo Jungle}} and [[Jungle Japes]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{for3ds}}, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Klaptraps appear in two different colors:

*Orange Klaptraps appear in Kongo Jungle. They jump out from the waterfall near the edges of the stone ledge and near the [[Barrel Cannon]]s. If a character makes contact with a Klaptrap, they will take damage. Very rarely a Klaptrap will get stuck in the Barrel Cannon, and characters cannot use the Barrel Cannon while one is inside of it; they instead only take damage from contact with that Klaptrap.
*Blue Klaptraps appear in Jungle Japes. They jump between the opening on either side of the middle section of the stage. If a character makes contact with a Klaptrap, they will be [[spike]]d (or [[meteor smash]]ed in ''Brawl''), sending characters straight into Jungle Japes' torrential waters. They essentially serve as [[one-hit KO]]s in ''Melee'', and in ''Brawl'' if enough damage is dealt. Characters holding on to a [[ledge]] are also vulnerable to a Klaptrap.

Klaptraps do not come out of [[container]]s like other enemies do. They can however be used as regular [[item]]s in the [[TEST]] stage using an [[Action Replay]], or other hacking device. Klaptraps are invulnerable and cannot be damaged, unlike other enemies.

==Origin==
Klaptraps are {{s|mariowiki|Kremling}}s who debuted in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country}}''. They damage [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] by biting them. They appear in a variety of colors: blue, red, purple, and green. Klaptraps later appears in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong 64}}'' with a similar role. Larger Klaptraps also appear in the game.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
===As a Stage Hazard===
Klaptrap appears on the [[Jungle Japes]] and [[Kongo Jungle (SSBM)|Kongo Jungle]] stages, leaping out of the water to bite opponents.

===Trophy===
The Klaptrap also makes an appearance as a collectable trophy.

;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.''

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==
===As a Stage Hazard===
Like in ''Melee'', Klaptrap reprises its role as a stage hazard on the Jungle Japes stage.

===Sticker===
Klaptrap appears as a collectable sticker.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''==
===As a Stage Hazard===
As in their previous appearances, Klaptraps appear on Jungle Japes and Kongo Jungle (now named Kongo Falls). They act nearly identical to their previous appearances.

===As an [[Assist Trophy]]===
{{cquote|''Moving back and forth on the stage, Klaptrap jumps at the nearest fighter and repeatedly bites down. It may be small, but attacks from its strong jaws are dangerous!''|cite=[https://www.smashbros.com/en_US/blog/ Super Smash Blog]|source=[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site]]}}

[[File:SSBUWebsiteKlaptrap1.jpg|thumb|Two Klaptraps on [[Corneria]].]]
Klaptrap appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as an [[Assist Trophy]]. Once summoned, it runs around the stage and latches onto any opponent it touches. Once latched, it bites down, doing repetitive damage similar to the [[Fan]]. It is also one of the few Assist Trophy characters that can be KO'd.[[Training Mode]] describes its Assist Trophy: ''Leaps up on opponents and bites down with sharp fangs.''

==Trivia==
*Klaptrap is the very first Assist Trophy from the ''Donkey Kong'' series.
*Klaptrap's render from ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' closely resembles its official art from ''Donkey Kong Country''.
*When Klaptrap is attacked in ''Ultimate'', it makes the same sound as it did when defeated in ''Donkey Kong Country''.
**It was actually done by Chris Sutherland, making it also the only non-human ''Donkey Kong'' character in ''Ultimate'' known to have a specific voice actor.
