In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Krimps are vulnerable from the back (unlike Klampons and Klaptraps) and on the top. The Kongs can quickly defeat a Krimp by either jumping onto it or throwing a [[barrel]] at it. [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] can also defeat Krimp by rolling into it from behind; they cannot roll into Krimp from the front, else it bites them. Some Krimps move faster than others, especially in later levels. When defeated in cascade levels, Krimps make a lower-pitched variation of [[Re-Koil]]'s cry, compared to the normal cry that originally belonged to [[Krusha]], [[Rambi]], and [[King K. Rool]]. Their cry also echoes when defeated in those levels. A Krimp also appears on the "Bash the Baddies!" [[Bonus Level]] title card, although activating the "COLOR" [[Cheat code|cheat]] shows a blue Krimp instead, despite none ever appearing; the color is closer to purple, since the Krimp shares an in-game palette with Dixie. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a photograph of a Krimp is classified as part of the [[Kremling Kreeps]] enemy class.

'''Krimps''' are the ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' equivalent of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'s'' [[Klaptrap]]s and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2]]'s'' [[Klampon]]s. They are fully vulnerable on the back side (unlike the Klampon and Klaptrap) and on the top, but if hit from the front, they will reconcile with a swift bite. They get faster as the game progresses, which makes them harder to avoid or defeat. Even though [[Kobble]]s are the basic soldier of the [[Kremling]]s in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Krimps outnumber them greatly. According to the game's credits, Krimps belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class. Krimps also make an appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' with no changes. Krimps wear a spiked collar around their neck.

Krimps are common enemies in both games, and they are the successor to Klaptraps from Donkey Kong Country and Klampons from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

History[edit]

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

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Krimps are vulnerable from the back (unlike Klampons and Klaptraps) and on the top. The Kongs can quickly defeat a Krimp by either jumping onto it or throwing a barrel at it. Dixie Kong or Kiddy Kong can also defeat Krimp by rolling into it from behind; they cannot roll into Krimp from the front, else it bites them. Some Krimps move faster than others, especially in later levels. When defeated in cascade levels, Krimps make a lower-pitched variation of Re-Koil's cry, compared to the normal cry that originally belonged to Krusha, Rambi, and King K. Rool. Their cry also echoes when defeated in those levels. A Krimp also appears on the "Bash the Baddies!" Bonus Level title card, although activating the "COLOR" cheat shows a blue Krimp instead, despite none ever appearing; the color is closer to purple, since the Krimp shares an in-game palette with Dixie. In Dixie Kong's Photo Album, a photograph of a Krimp is classified as part of the Kremling Kreeps enemy class.

Krimps appear in ten levels in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! In the Game Boy Advance version, Krimps appear in two more levels, both located in Pacifica:
