| '''Kabooms''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are [[Kremling]]s and a variant of [[Klobber]] that disguise themselves as ordinary [[TNT Barrel]]s and pop out when a character gets close. Kabooms were originally planned to have successors named [[Kracka]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', but went unused, and the rope-climbing [[Klasp]]s are the only successor, though Krackas do appear in the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]]. | | |

| | '''Kabooms''' (also called '''TNT Barrels''' in the [[Prima Games]] guide for ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''<ref>Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, and Donato Tica. ''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima Official Game Guide. [[Media:DK64 Prima 16.jpg|Page 16]].</ref>) are red [[Klobber]]s and are members of the [[Kremling Krew]]. They wear a [[TNT Barrel]] around their body. [[Kracka]]s, an enemy from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' heavily resembles them. |

| Kabooms are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. They commonly appear in [[level]]s of the later [[world]]s, especially the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]] and [[K. Rool's Keep]], though Kabooms first appear in the [[Gloomy Gulch]] level, [[Ghostly Grove (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Ghostly Grove]]. Their behavior is shared with Klobbers: they both hide in their barrel, then pop out when [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] get close, and run after them in an attempt to hurt them. Kabooms' TNT Barrels are distinguishable from normal ones, because the "N" of TNT is flipped. This is fixed after Diddy or Dixie jumps on it. The only major difference that Kabooms have from Klobbers is that a Kaboom's barrel explodes when it crashes into the lead Kong, with the resulting TNT blast defeating both of them. A Kaboom can more safely be defeated from either having a projectile thrown at it, such as a [[barrel]] or a [[Cannonball|kannonball]], or from being jumped on and thrown like a regular TNT Barrel. When jumped on, a Kaboom re-emerges shortly after, unless the Kongs quickly grab it. Kabooms also get defeated if they run onto the spikes in [[Klobber Karnage (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Klobber Karnage]], but they do not explode. Kabooms are one of the few entities absent from the end credits, but the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] rectifies this by listing one with a Klobber. | | [[File:KaBoom.PNG|frame|left]] |
| | Kabooms first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' as common enemies. Kabooms are relatives to [[Klobber|Klobbers]]. Like Klobbers, Kabooms wear barrels around their body, but Kabooms wear TNT Barrels. This makes them extremely dangerous, as a simple touch will cause them and a [[Kong]] to explode. Kabooms can be defeated by throwing a [[Barrel|barrel]] or a [[Kannonball|kannonball]] at them. Kabooms can also be thrown and used like a normal TNT Barrel. The Kongs must [[jump]] on its head in order to use them as a TNT Barrel. Kabooms are predominantly found in the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]] and [[K. Rool's Keep]]. |

| | Kabooms make a return appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. In this game, they are rarer than before, found only in [[Angry Aztec]] and [[Gloomy Galleon]]. Their attack method is the same as before though - they charge at one of the game's five playable Kongs, attempting to damage them with an explosion. Kabooms can be defeated by throwing an [[Orange]] at them, by using a musical instrument, or by shooting it with any of the Kongs' weapons. A shock wave attack also takes them out, but it'll hurt the Kongs in the process. |

| [[File:Kaboom DK64 screenshot.jpg|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''Donkey Kong 64'']] | | Kabooms also appear in [[Diddy Kong]]'s minecart challenge in the area [[Jungle Japes]]. In this area, they will jump of edges and explode, trying to take Diddy out with them. On a side note, when a Kaboom chases a Kong in this game, they'll automatically self-destruct after about 5 seconds. |
| Kabooms, also named '''TNT Bombers'''<ref>{{cite|author=Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, and Donato Tica|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=41|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|date=December 1, 1999|isbn=0-7615-2279-4|language=en-us|quote=TNT Bombers will leap onto the cart. Speed under them to stay safe.}}</ref> or "'''TNT Barrels'''",<ref>{{cite|author=Barton, et al.|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page={{file link|DK64 Prima 16.jpg|16}}}}</ref> are enemies in ''Donkey Kong 64''. They were given a larger appearance, and Kabooms no longer wear earrings. Kabooms attack similarly as before, though during their pursuit, TNT Bombers sometimes say "C'mon" in a high-pitched voice. TNT Bombers are more easily identifiable from their outer TNT Barrel. Like many other enemies, a TNT Bomber can be defeated from an [[orange]], a musical instrument move, from a Kong's weapon, or a [[Super Slam]], but with the side effect of also damaging the player character. TNT Bombers self-destruct after chasing after the active Kong for five seconds, and say "Uh oh" right before exploding. The only remains of a TNT Bomber after exploding is a pile of ash with two blinking eyes on top. | |

|
| TNT Bombers are first shown during Diddy's segment of the [[DK Rap]], where Diddy simultaneously defeats three of them by throwing an [[orange]] at them. During the game itself, TNT Bombers first appear in the later segment of [[Mine Cart Ride#Diddy's Mine Cart Ride|Diddy's Mine Cart Ride]], where they jump out of edges at random as an attempt to crash into him. If a TNT Bomber successfully hits into Diddy, he loses a few [[DK Coin]]s. [[Angry Aztec]] and [[Gloomy Galleon]] are the only two levels where TNT Bombers appear.
| | Three Kabooms also show up in Diddy's segment of the [[DK Rap]]; they end up being blown up by Diddy with an [[Orange]]. |

| <gallery>
| | *Whenever a Kaboom starts to run or makes a quick turn, it makes a noise similar to tires screeching. |
| Kaboom DKC2.png|''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' sprite | | *Occasionally, in ''Donkey Kong 64'', Kabooms can be heard saying "C'mon" in a high-pitched voice. Also, whenever a Kaboom is defeated, all that remains of them is a pile of ash with two blinking eyes on top. |
| DK64 Kaboom.png|''Donkey Kong 64'' render
| | *In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', a Kaboom can defeat itself by coming into contact with any kind of terrain that can hurt the Kongs. |
| </gallery>
| | *In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', when first seen, Kabooms can be identified from regular TNT barrels, as their lack of education has led to the N being written with the sloping line facing the wrong way. However, if the player picks one up and puts it back down, the barrel will be written correctly, though Kaboom will erupt from it once more after a few seconds. |
