'''Krashes''' (also known as '''Cart Kritters''')<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|author=Folsom, Jessica, and Steve Thomason|date=2003|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide|isbn=1-930206-33-X|page=92|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> are [[list of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They ride in uncontrollable [[Mine Cart]]s. Krashes do not appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', but they have a similar [[Roller Coaster]]-riding counterpart, [[Klank]]s.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country''===
Krashes are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country''. In [[Mine Cart Carnage]], Krashes ride a Mine Cart in the direction opposite of [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. Any contact with a Krash, including jumping onto it, damages the player characters while leaving the Krash unaffected. In [[Mine Cart Madness]], Krashes sit idly at the start of a track railing, and the player characters can safely jump on a Krash to hijack its Mine Cart and continue riding on the tracks. Krashes have an identical appearance to Kritters, though the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|second remake]] changes them to a distinct light purple color.

===''Donkey Kong 64''===
{{conjectural|Krashes}} are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They appear in the [[Mine Cart Ride]]s only, riding on a track next to the [[Kong]]s. Krashes now wield a club to further differentiate them from Kritters, and have a bulkier appearance similar to the Kritters from ''Donkey Kong Country''. The Kongs can jump over the club to avoid taking damage, otherwise they lose three [[DK Coin]]s. Krashes are defeated if they crash into a pile of rocks or fall into a pit. The active Kong usually has to pull a lever to defeat Krash either way.

==Trivia==
*Though Krashes never make any direct appearance in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]], some episodes have Kritters riding around on minecarts, effectively making a Krash in a sense. 
**In some courses of ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', Kritter can hop into a minecart, making him act like Krash.
*"Krash" was the original name for [[Krunch]] in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''.
