Game Appearances

Kirby: Planet Robobot

In its debut appearance, Clanky Woods is encountered twice. Its first appearance is toward the end of a Stage 1 of Patched Plains. After Kirby enters the area, a bunch of fleeing Waddle Dees pass him by. From there, Clanky enters the scene using its four drill legs, roars upon noticing Kirby, and starts to chase him down. During this phase, Clanky can be attacked, but cannot be defeated, and instead must be avoided, similar to Heavy Lobster's first appearance in Kirby Super Star. The goal is to simply outrun the boss and eventually get away using a pipe.
