===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
Krunchas are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. Their behavior involves moving back and forth slowly while swinging their heavily-muscled arms. Krunchas can defeat the player character on contact. They can be defeated from either a [[Team-up]] throw, an [[Animal Friend]], being hit by a [[crate]] or a [[barrel]], or from the effects of the [[Invincibility Barrel]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] only, a Kruncha can also be defeated from being jumped on while Team-up is active. Attempting to attack a Kruncha in any other turns it bright red as it roars in anger. In their enraged state, Krunchas walk around faster, and a team-up throw only defeats the Kong thrown while in this state. After a while, an angry Kruncha reverts to its calm, default state. Most Krunchas are light blue, though there is also an uncommon pink variety that walks off of platforms and moves even faster when enraged. In the cast roll, a Kruncha is classified as being part of the [[Kremling Kuthroats]].
[[File:GangplankGalleySNES.png|thumb|left|The Kongs encounter three Krunchas in Gangplank Galley, the first level to feature Krunchas]]
In their debut appearance, ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Krunchas slowly move back and forth while swinging their muscles. Their muscular body protects from [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]'s jumping and roll attacks. If the [[Kong]]s attempt either attack on a Kruncha, it turns bright red in anger, lets out a roar, and moves around faster. After a while, the Kruncha reverts to its normal state. If a Kong gets hit by a Kruncha, regardless of its status, the player loses that Kong.
 
Krunchas can be defeated by either an [[Animal Friend]], by throwing an object (such as a [[crate]] or [[barrel]]) at it, while under the effects of an [[Invincibility Barrel]], or by using a [[Team-up]] throw. If the Kruncha is red, it is invulnerable to Team-up throw, and if a Kong is thrown at a red Kruncha, that Kong is defeated.
 
Krunchas have an uncommon, light pink variant that only appears in two levels: [[Castle Crush]] and [[Clapper's Cavern (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Clapper's Cavern]]. They are mostly the same as the normal Krunchas, except that they walk off of platforms, and move even faster when angered.
 
In the Game Boy Advance version, the Kongs can also defeat a Kruncha by jumping on it while using Team-up. A [[photograph]] of Kruncha can be obtained in [[Red-Hot Ride]], and it appears under the second page of the [[scrapbook]].
 
In the ending Cast of Characters, a Kruncha appears under the [[Kremling Kuthroats]] category.
