'''Knockas''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. These green lanky [[Kremling]]s hide in green [[barrel]]s with menacing faces painted on them. They are the successor of [[Klobber]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', but Knockas are different mainly from the fact that they wear a barrel with a noticeably different appearance from regular barrels. Knockas have two variants, [[Klasp]]s and [[Kuchuka]]s; the former climbs across a horizontal [[rope]] while hiding inside a [[TNT Barrel]], while the latter stays inside a purple barrel and throws bombs at [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]].
'''Knockas''' are green lanky [[Kremling]]s who hide in green [[barrel]]s with faces painted on them. They are encountered in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. According to the game's credits, Knockas belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.

Knockas are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''. They hide in their barrel at first, dormant, until being approached by [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]], then the Knocka begins to run after them. Knockas cannot damage the player characters directly and opt for trying to push them into another enemy or a pit instead. A Knocka can be defeated if the [[Kong]] [[jump]]s onto it, picks up the Knocka, and throws it at a surface. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Knocka is categorized under the [[Kremling Kreeps]].

In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Knockas are fairly common enemies, encountered in a large amount of levels. Knockas have an attack pattern similar to an earlier enemy named [[Klobber]]; a Knocka waits hidden in its barrel, and if either [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] pass by the foe it will spring forth out of its barrel and begin trying to ram the [[Kong]]s. Since a Knocka cannot directly hurt a Kong, they try to ram them into either another enemy or an abyss. A Knocka can be defeated by simply jumping on it, knocking it back into its barrel. Once back in its barrel, it can simply be picked up and thrown away.  


In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], Knockas use the same voice clips as Klobbers from the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|previous game]]. Additionally, the remake also introduces [[Kracka]]s, a variant of Klasp behaving like Knockas.
In later levels of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' two barrel wearing sub-species of Knockas, [[Klasp]]s and [[Kuchuka]]s are encountered. Also, in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', an explosive version of Knockas, [[Kracka]]s, are encountered in one level of the game.


===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
Knockas are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They act the same as before. The ending of the game erroneously titles Knockas as [[Krusha]]s. Outside of international releases, a Knocka changes from green to red only while being carried, using the exact sprite and palette as a barrel when carried.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Knockas, along with Klasps and Kuchukas, are still semi-common enemies. The game erroneously lists Knockas as [[Krusha]]s, however, yet aside from the name, there is no real difference between the Knockas of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' and ''Donkey Kong Land III''.
