'''Kobbles''' are basic, green [[Kremlings]] that are used as the soldier grunts of the [[Kremling Krew]], they replaced the [[Kritter]]s and [[Klomp]]s of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' respectively. According to the game's credits, Kobbles belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.

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 are very uncommon in the game, as they only appear in the three Stilt Village levels.
Kobbles are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''. Like most enemies, Kobbles walk back and forth in a pattern, and can be defeated from any of [[Dixie Kong]]'s and [[Kiddy Kong]]'s attacks. Later on, in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a photograph of Kobble appears under the "[[Dixie Kong's Photo Album#Kremling Kreeps|Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.
 
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], Kobbles make a higher-pitched voice when defeated, similarly to Kritters and Klomps in the remakes of the first two ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' games.

In this game, Kobbles behave identically to the way they did in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', although in this game they are a far more common enemy, and due to limitations are black and white and made a slight drone noise when defeated instead of the regular Kremling cry of defeat.
Kobbles are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They act the same as before, except they are encountered in much more levels.

In the remake of the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', Kobbles return and play the exact same role, except they now have a different voice when defeated, which is a more high-pitched and whiny one, which it shares with the [[Kritter]]s and [[Klomp]]s of the Game Boy Advance remakes.

Also, the only Kobble who appears in the SNES version of Tidal Trouble is absent in the GBA version, reducing yet more their presence in the game.
