'''Krushas''' are muscular, blue [[Kremling]]s and are among the elite soldiers of the [[Kremling Krew]]. They first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Krushas wear clothing with a camouflage pattern and a silver arm band on each forearm. They also have a spiky yellow mohawk on their heads, three clawed toes, and four fingers. | '''Krushas''' are muscular, blue [[Kremling]]s and are among the elite soldiers of the [[Kremling Krew]].

[[File:Krusha | [[File:Krusha X.png|thumb|right|A Krusha, holding an "X" letter in the [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country'']] | ||
In ''Donkey Kong Country'' Krushas are uncommon enemies who appear during the later levels. | |||
Like most enemies, Krushas simply walk forward, and injure [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] upon contact with them. Because they are muscular, Krushas will laugh off most of the [[Kong]]s' direct attacks. They can only be defeated with a [[barrel]], Donkey Kong jumping on them, or [[Rambi the Rhino]] charging into them. Also, while it does not harm them, Donkey Kong can [[Hand Slap]] a Krusha, causing it to drop a single [[banana]] each time it is Hand Slapped. | |||
Krushas have an even more uncommon gray variant, which wears orange wristbands, a purple camouflage suit, and has orange head spikes. Gray Krushas are stronger than regular ones, as they'll laugh off even Donkey Kong's jump attack, and won't leave behind any bananas when Hand Slapped. Gray Krushas can only be defeated with a barrel. They make their only appearance in [[Platform Perils]], the last level of [[Chimp Caverns]], and the last regular level of ''Donkey Kong Country''. Here, the Kongs must crucially use barrels on the gray Krushas in order to knock them off the arrow platforms. | |||
In the [[Game Boy Color]] version, gray Krushas also appear in the level [[Necky Nutmare]]. | |||
[[ | |||
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, a Krusha appears in the opening cutscene. Here, the Kremlings try to steal the Banana Hoard, and Diddy successfully fends off some Kritters but is then subdued by a Krusha. Originally, the Super Nintendo release's instruction booklet states that Diddy was instead overpowered by a [[Klump]]. A [[photograph]] of a blue Krusha can be found floating in mid-air in Platform Perils. | |||

Krushas are one of the three Kremlings who appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', along with [[Kritter]]s and [[Klaptrap]]s. They act the same as the blue Krushas from ''Donkey Kong Country'', and no gray Krusha equivalent appears in the game. Krushas are featured in more levels than in ''Donkey Kong Country''. | |||

While not pointed out in the manual, [[Kruncha]]s appear to be Krushas in pirate gear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. This was later confirmed to be true by character designer [[Steve Mayles]] in a Twitter post.<ref>Steve Mayles. December 17, 2017. https://twitter.com/WinkySteve/status/942523428606799874. ''Twitter''. Retrieved December 17, 2017.</ref> Despite being the same thing, Krunchas appear to be shorter and wider than Krushas, probably stemming from having a different base model. | |||
Two other muscular Kremlings, [[Krumple]]s and [[Kasplat]]s, would later appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' respectively, acting as the successors of both Krushas and Krunchas. | |||

[[File:KrushaScreen.png|thumb|left|Krusha, with his gun, in the Multiplayer mode of ''Donkey Kong 64'']] | |||
Krusha is an unlockable character in Multiplayer Mode of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. The player can unlock Krusha after photographing fifteen [[Banana Fairy|Banana Fairies]] in the main mode. Oddly, he does not appear as an enemy in the game. | |||
===''Donkey Kong | Krusha is a large character like [[Chunky Kong]], and has unique moves such as a fast sliding attack. He also utilizes an [[orange grenade launcher]] in combat. Both attacks deal 1½ times as much damage compared to Chunky, the strongest Kong. Aside from his default blue appearance, Krusha also has three alternate costumes, each being a different skin color: yellow, green, and purple. | ||
By playing as Krusha in the main game via a GameShark code, Krusha is referred to by name from other characters. He also has some unused animations, some of which are taken from Chunky's. | |||

===''[[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' novel=== | |||
An individual Krusha (referred to as "the strongest commander") appears as the final antagonist of the ''Donkey Kong Country'' novelization. After the [[Kongs]] board the [[Gangplank Galleon]] and defeat most of [[King K. Rool]]'s commanders, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] attempt to attack Krusha, but the reptile shrugs off their assault and punches them both. The Kongs then propel themselves using coiled ropes found at opposites of the ship, knocking Krusha unconscious. | |||

In the novel ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle]]'', [[Donkey Kong]] encounters an individual Krusha on the eighth floor of the [[Kremling]]'s factory, within [[Big Ape City]]. Holding Donkey Kong in a bear hug, Krusha says that he will bring him straight to [[King K. Rool]], the leader of the Kremlings. Krusha is described as "the biggest and strongest of all the Kremlings", although not the "brightest". And Donkey Kong tricks Krusha into thinking that in his backpack, he has a list of the locations of all the [[Kong]]s on [[Donkey Kong Island]]. Krusha, who desires to make his boss happy by kidnapping all of the Kongs, loosens his grip on Donkey Kong to allow him to reach into his backpack. However, Donkey Kong pulls out a [[barrel]] instead, tossing it at Krusha which causes him to stumble and lose his balance. Donkey Kong then uses a [[Roll Attack|barrel roll]] and [[Double Jump|double jump]] to knock Krusha "out cold". He then continues his journey to the factory's defense-system. | In the novel ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle]]'', [[Donkey Kong]] encounters an individual Krusha on the eighth floor of the [[Kremling]]'s factory, within [[Big Ape City]].

[ | [[File:DKC Prerelease Krusha.jpg|thumb]] | ||
*The [[List of Donkey Kong Country pre-release and unused content|pre-release version]] of ''Donkey Kong Country'' had blue Krushas being unfazed by Donkey Kong's jump attacks. In the final game, this trait only applied to the gray Krushas. | |||
*Krushas share their defeat voice clip with [[Rambi]] and [[King K. Rool]] in ''Donkey Kong Country''. They also use K. Rool's voice clips in ''Donkey Kong 64'', but higher pitched. | |||
**The majority of Kremlings in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|Donkey Kong Country 3]]'' also share Krusha's defeat voice clip, but the clip is often set to a higher pitch level. | |||
*One artwork of Krusha depicts it wearing gold wrist bands, much like in its appearance in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|television series]]. | |||
*A [[Knocka]] is erroneously titled "Krusha" during the ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' end credits. | |||
*Kasplat is mistakenly called Krusha in the [[Prima Games|Prima]] guide to ''Donkey Kong 64''. | |||
