'''Krashes''' (also known as '''Cart Kritters'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' GBA Player's Guide. Page 92</ref>) are [[Kritter]]s who ride in [[Mine Cart]]s uncontrollably. They appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. In the former game, Krashes have an identical appearance to green Kritters, or purple in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]]. In ''Donkey Kong 64'', Krashes were given a distinct, muscular appearance and wield a club. Though they do not appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Krashes have a similar counterpart named [[Klank]]s, which ride in [[Roller Coaster]]s.

In both games, Krashes exclusively appear in Mine Cart levels. In ''Donkey Kong Country'', they appear in both Mine Cart levels, [[Mine Cart Carnage]] and [[Mine Cart Madness]]. In Mine Cart Carnage, Krashes ride a Mine Cart in the opposite direction of [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], and if a Krash hits the [[Kong]]s, the player loses that Kong. Krashes are unaffected by a Kong jumping on them while riding on a Mine Cart, which instead hurts the Kong. In Mine Cart Madness, Krashes sit idly at the start of a track railing, and unlike in Mine Cart Carnage, the Kongs can safely jump on a Krash to hijack its Mine Cart and continue riding on the tracks. In ''Donkey Kong 64'', Krashes appear in the [[Mine Cart Ride]]s, riding on a track adjacent to the Kongs. A Krash swings its club to attack, but the Kong can [[jump]] to dodge it. If the Kong is hit by the club, they lose three [[DK Coin]]s. When a Krash either drives into a pile of rocks or fall into a pit, they are defeated, but either way usually requires the active Kong to pull a lever to defeat Krash.
