'''Klubba''' is a large, muscular [[Kremling]] who operates [[Klubba's Kiosk]], a toll bridge to the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]], in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Klubba speaks in a stereotypical pirate accent, and uses typical pirate slang such as "matey".

If the Kongs try to fight him, Klubba uses his cudgel to whack Diddy and Dixie out of his tollbooth, and back into the world map.

'''Klubba''' is a green, extremely muscular and buff [[Kremling]] with an enormous muscular body and huge pecs. He is the one that guards the entrance to the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]]. Due to his immense size and strength, Klubba is extremely powerful and durable. He can lift his big, heavy, spiked club with only one hand in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. He's very foul tempered and greedy, as shown by his prices to get through his tollbooths, although he admits his prices aren't cheap. He surprisingly acts friendly if his toll is paid, which is the exact opposite of his normal nature of repeated death threats to [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] if they don't pay him. There are five tollbooths in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', each leading to one of the five levels of the Lost World. Three options are available:
Klubba greatly resembles [[Kudgel]], except his body is light green instead of gray. It is unknown if they have any relation to each other. One profile for Klubba is accompanied by a screenshot of Klubba's Kiosk as well as artwork of Kudgel.<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #36|page=24|date=March 1996}}</ref>


#Pay 15 [[Kremkoin]]s
The [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|version]] added an optional minigame, [[Bag a Bug]] that involves Diddy or Dixie (depending on the lead Kong) attempting to collect fireflies while they avoid Klubba, who continually walks around the circular path, waiting to whack a Kong with his cudgel.
#Fight Him
#Run Away


The second and the third option are pretty much the same thing. Selecting the second option will make Klubba use his club on the Kongs, returning them to the map.
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Klubba has only Klubba's Kiosk, accessed from the [[Crocodile Isle]] map, and he is placed on the left side instead of the right. Klubba has to be given a single payment of all 47 Kremkoins to access the entire Lost World.


He also implies that he doesn't favor King K. Rool's rule over the Kremlings, feeling that his fellow Kremlings are "miserable" under K. Rool.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2]]'', a fourth option was added called [[Bag A Bug]]. It costs five [[Banana Coin]]s to play this mini-game.
