'''Kuff 'n' Klout''' (also known as the '''Kremling Twins'''<ref>The ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'' Player's Guide, page 112.</ref>) are two large, beefy, and light brown [[Kremling]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. They are the most powerful Kremling enemy in the game, even more than [[Krumple]]. They only appear in a few [[Krematoa]] levels: [[Stampede Sprint]], [[Criss Kross Cliffs]], and [[Tyrant Twin Tussle]]. They attack by making movements reminiscent to a game of leapfrog, or racing about the screen, shoulder to shoulder.

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' Klout can only be defeated by [[barrel]]s, or by using [[Squitter the Spider|Squitter]]'s webs, since they are immune to [[Team-up]] throws, and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] will get injured if they attempt to attack the twins directly.
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 [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], the other twin just disappears after a few seconds.


If one of the Kremling Twins is defeated, the other continues to charge, and it disappears when the [[Kong]]s move offscreen. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] port, Kuff or Klout is motionless and suddenly disappears after a few seconds. Kuff 'n' Klout's only distinguishable attribute is their eye color, as shown from their artwork. One of them has purple eyes while the other has green eyes. However, both of them have green eyes in the game, therefore making them indistinguishable.
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.


According to [[Dixie's Photo Album]], Kuff 'n' Klout are categorized under the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.
Kuff 'n' Klout are one of the few enemies to not reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.

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.
