'''Krumples''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. These large, blue, and muscular [[Kremling]]s both resemble and behave like [[Krusha]]s and [[Kruncha]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' respectively. A Krumple appears on the box art of both games that it appears in.


Krumples are first encountered in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', here they are semi-common enemies. Krumples, like most enemies, attack [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] by charging into them. Krumples are so muscular that they cannot be defeated by Kiddy's rolling attack and they cannot be hurt at all by Dixie. They laugh and taunt the Kongs when they unsuccessfully try to hit them. However, certain [[Animal Buddy|Animal Buddies]], a throwable weapon (such as a [[barrel]]) or Kiddy's jump attack can defeat a Krumple. Krumples can also be defeated by Kiddy rolling onto them from above, like [[Klampon]]s and [[Krimp]]s. Krumples usually appear in cave levels or levels that have waterfalls in them.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
Krumples are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''. Like most enemies, Krumples attack [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] by simply moving into them. A Krumple can be defeated by a [[barrel]], a [[team up]] throw, being [[jump]]ed on by Kiddy, having [[Ellie]] spray water droplets at them in [[Tracker Barrel Trek]], and from [[Squitter]]'s web projectiles in [[Creepy Caverns]]. Krumples are unaffected by Kiddy's [[roll]], unless he performs it from high enough, or any of Dixie's attacks, and he will respond back by taunting the [[Kong]]s. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Krumple photograph appears under the [[Kremling Kreeps]] category. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], the sound effects of Krumples are reused from Krunchas in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' remake.


Krumples also appear ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', a semi-sequel to ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3]]''. There is no real difference between the Krumples of ''Donkey Kong Land 3'' and the ones of ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. A Krumple is also on the boxart of ''Donkey Kong Land 3''.
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
Krumples are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They act the same as before, but appear in several more [[level]]s.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble![edit]

Krumples are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. Like most enemies, Krumples attack Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong by simply moving into them. A Krumple can be defeated by a barrel, a team up throw, being jumped on by Kiddy, having Ellie spray water droplets at them in Tracker Barrel Trek, and from Squitter's web projectiles in Creepy Caverns. Krumples are unaffected by Kiddy's roll, unless he performs it from high enough, or any of Dixie's attacks, and he will respond back by taunting the Kongs. In Dixie Kong's Photo Album, a Krumple photograph appears under the Kremling Kreeps category. In the remake, the sound effects of Krumples are reused from Krunchas in the Donkey Kong Country 2 remake.

Donkey Kong Land III[edit]

Krumples are enemies in Donkey Kong Land III. They act the same as before, but appear in several more levels.
