==History==
=== ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble===
During the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' Kobbles can be easily defeated by any type of attack, and although they look somewhat strongly built, they are not a real threat. Despite being the generic soldier-type, Kobbles were very uncommon in the game (they only appeared in the levels, [[Lakeside Limbo]], [[Kreeping Klasps]], and [[Tidal Trouble]]).
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
In this game Kobbles behaved identically to the way they did in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'', although in this game they were a far more common enemy, and due to limitations were black and white and made a slight drone noise when defeated instead of the regular Kremling cry of defeat.

In the remake of the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' Kobbles return and play the exact same role, they however now have a different voice when defeated is a more high-pitched and whiny one, which it shares with the [[Kritter|Kritters]] and [[Klomp|Klomps]] of the GBA remakes. Oddly, at the end a Kobble is seen in Dixie Kong's Photo Album in a Mill despite never appearing in one in the game.

==Trivia==
*According to the game's credits, Kobbles belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.
*Unlike their Kritter cousins, Kobbles do not wear clothing of any kind (except for the ring that pierces their lower lips)
*[[Skidda]], another member of the Kremlings, bears an exact resemblance to Kobble, being pink and resides in snowy areas though.
