Krunchas | The first appearance of Krunchas is in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' as semi-common enemies. Krunchas are so muscular that regular attacks (such as jumping) have no effect on them, these only enrage them to the point that they turn red and move at a slightly faster speed. Krunchas can only be defeated with aid from an [[Animal Friend]], by having an object (such as [[crate]]) thrown at them, or by [[team-up|teaming-up]] and throwing either [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] or [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] at them. Also, by teaming up, Diddy and Dixie can use their combined weight to defeat the Kremling with a simple jump, but this is only possible in the GBA version. When a Kruncha is enraged, it will damage the Kongs, but a Team-up throw will defeat Kruncha and leave the thrown Kong unscathed. | ||
Later in the game, a pink version of Krunchas are encountered. These Krunchas, if enraged, move at an even faster speed than an enraged blue Kruncha, and the pink variant also walk off the edge of the platforms. This pink variant is only found in two stages of [[K. Rool's Keep]]: [[Castle Crush]] and [[Clapper's Cavern]]. | |||

Krunchas also appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''{{'}}s pseudo-sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. There is no real difference between the Krunchas of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2''. | |||
