'''Krashes''' are [[Kritter]]s who ride in [[Mine Cart]]s uncontrollably. They appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. In the latter game, Krashes were redesigned to have a muscular appearance and wield a club, both of which further distinguish them from Kritters and closer to [[Klubba]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.

In their debut appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country'', Krashes appear in both Mine Cart levels, [[Mine Cart Carnage]] and [[Mine Cart Madness]]. In their first level appearance, Krashes ride a Mine Cart in the opposite direction of [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], and if they ram into the [[Kong]]s, the lead one falls out of the Mine Cart. Although Krashes look vulnerable similarly to Kritters, the Kongs cannot jump their Mine Cart onto Krash, as this injures them while leaving the Krash unaffected. The Kongs must only avoid Krashes by jumping over them.

Krashes make their second and final appearance in Mine Cart Madness. Here, the Kongs jump out of their Mine Carts directly instead of carrying it with them. The Kongs can defeat Krashes very similarly to Kritters, by bouncing onto a Krash's head. Some Krashes sit idly at the start of a track railing, and the Kongs can jump on the Krash to hijack its Mine Cart and resume riding on the tracks.
 
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Krashes were changed to have a light purple skin.
