'''Kruller''' is the third boss encountered in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''. He is encountered and fought in the [[Lost and Found]] of the [[Hotel Shops]]. His name is a pun on "{{wp|cruller}}," a type of doughnut, as well as a reference to the stereotype of police officers enjoying doughnuts. Defeating Kruller rewards [[Luigi]] with the [[elevator button]] that grants access to the [[Mezzanine]]. It is possible to access the [[Kitchen (Luigi's Mansion 3)|Mezzanine's kitchen]] prior to the fight with him, though [[Chef Soulfflé]] does not appear until after Luigi defeats Kruller to prevent sequence-breaking.

==History==
==History==
Luigi briefly witnesses Kruller as the latter is doing his patrols on the third floor. After hearing noises, Kruller panics and tries to investigate the commotion, only to discover a [[mouse]] inside a vending machine. Dismissing it, he then enters his [[Security Office|office]], although he accidentally drops a key (the first key to a puzzle that results in getting the key to his office) when entering it.

Luigi can look into the office and can see Kruller reading a book while playing around with the elevator button.

When Luigi enters the office afterward, Kruller briefly faints from shock at Luigi entering, before entering the next room to find a suitable weapon to defend himself (getting stuck on his back mid-roll), ultimately getting a squirt gun.

[[File:LM3 Kruller Screenshot.jpg|thumb|Kruller getting the water gun for the fight against Gooigi]]
Because Kruller is behind a barricade throughout his fight, the player has to fight him as [[Gooigi]]. Kruller's sunglasses protect him from the [[Strobulb]]. Gooigi must suck in his glasses before flashing at him again to stun him. Kruller also shoots squirts of water from his squirt gun at Gooigi; if any of them hit him, he dissolves, wasting time. Kruller will also attempt to move around the room and dodge by performing a barrel roll slowly, towards another corner of the room. In the final round, Kruller makes it more difficult to suck in his glasses. He can also charge his gun to shoot a long stream of water across the room. Upon being defeated, Kruller struggles to avoid being sucked in to no avail. Gooigi then retrieves the Mezzanine's elevator button, with it being revealed that Luigi slept through the entire battle (as Luigi is unconscious while Gooigi is conscious, and vice versa). After defeating Kruller in two-player mode, Luigi, who was watching the battle from outside, takes all the credit saying that he did it, after which Gooigi copies Luigi as he had actually defeated Kruller, causing an embarrassed Luigi to glance back at him.
