| '''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]]. | |

| ==History==
| | 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 will wait hidden in it's barrel, if either [[Dixie]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] pass by a Klobber will spring forth out of it's barrel and begin trying to ram the Kongs. Since a Klobber cannot directly hurt a Kong they will try and ram them into either another enemy or an abyss. |

| |
| 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 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.
| | A Knocka can be defeated by simply jumping on it, this will knock it back into it's barrel. Once back in it's [[barrel]] a Knocka can simply be picked up and thrown away. 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, [[TNT Knocka]]s are encountered in one level of the game. |

| Knockas, named '''Krushas''' in the ending, appear with the same role in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. In the Japanese [[Game Boy Color]] release, a Krusha changes from green to red only while being carried, using the exact sprite and palette as a barrel when carried.

|
| |
|
| ==Profiles==
| | 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''. |
