'''Kuff 'n' Klout''' (also known as the '''Kremling Twins'''<ref>''Official Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble Nintendo Player's Guide, page 112.</ref>) are extra-big, beefed-up [[Kremling]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]''. Even stronger and burlier than the massive [[Krumple]]s, Kuff 'n' Klout are found only in [[Krematoa]].

Kuff 'n' Klouts attack by making movements akin to playing leapfrog or by racing about the screen, shoulder to shoulder. Some Kuff 'n' Klouts perform each action in succession to one another.

If [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] tries to attack a Kuff 'n' Klout, they take damage. Even when one twin is defeated, the other will charge forward towards the player characters and disappear once offscreen.

The Kremling Twins are nearly invincible, since they can only be defeated by using [[Barrel|barrels]], by using [[Squitter the Spider|Squitter's]] webs, and theoretically, [[Ellie the Elephant|Ellie's]] trunk squirting and [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks's]] egg spitting. If only one of them is defeated, the other will continue to charge and then disappear when [[Dixie]] or [[Kiddy]] go offscreen, or target them to avenge his fallen counterpart (SNES version), or remain motionless and suddenly disappear a few seconds later (GBA version). According to the game's credits, Kuff 'n' Klout belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.

==Trivia==
*Kuff 'n' Klout are one of the few characters from ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' who do not appear again in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.
*The only way to tell Kuff 'n' Klout apart is by their eye color; one of them has purple eyes while the other has green eyes. However, Kuff 'n' Klout both have green eyes in the game, and it is unknown which is which.

Kuff 'n' Klout (also known as the Kremling Twins)[1] are a pair of two large, muscular Kremlings in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. Both Kuff 'n' Klout have green eyes, although artwork depicts one of them with purple eyes. In Dixie Kong's Photo Album, Kuff 'n' Klout are classified as part of the "Kremling Kreeps" enemy class.

Kuff 'n' Klouts attack by making movements akin to playing leapfrog or by racing about the screen, shoulder to shoulder. Some Kuff 'n' Klouts perform each action in succession to one another. Kuff 'n' Klouts are invulnerable to all direct attacks, including Team up, and they can be defeated only from a TNT Barrel or one of Squitter's webs. If Dixie Kong or Kiddy Kong tries to attack a Kuff 'n' Klout, they take damage. Even when one twin is defeated, the other will charge forward towards the player characters and disappear once offscreen. In the remake, the other twin just disappears after a few seconds.

Kuff 'n' Klouts appear only in the first three Krematoa levels: Stampede Sprint, Criss Kross Cliffs, and Tyrant Twin Tussle, being the main obstacle in the latter.
