Krashes are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country''. In [[Mine Cart Carnage]], Krashes ride a Mine Cart in the direction opposite of [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. Any contact with a Krash, including jumping onto it, damages the player characters while leaving the Krash unaffected. In [[Mine Cart Madness]], Krashes sit idly at the start of a track railing, and the player characters can safely jump on a Krash to hijack its Mine Cart and continue riding on the tracks. Krashes have an identical appearance to Kritters, though the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|second remake]] changes them to a distinct light purple color.
In their debut appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country'', Krashes appear in both Mine Cart levels, [[Mine Cart Carnage]] and [[Mine Cart Madness]]. In their first level appearance, Krashes ride a Mine Cart in the opposite direction of [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]], and if they ram into the [[Kong]]s, the lead one falls out of the Mine Cart. Although Krashes look vulnerable similarly to Kritters, the Kongs cannot jump their Mine Cart onto Krash, as this injures them while the Krash remains unaffected. The Kongs must only avoid Krashes by jumping over them.
 
Krashes make their second and final appearance in Mine Cart Madness. Here, the Kongs jump out of their Mine Carts directly instead of carrying it with them. The Kongs can defeat Krashes very similarly to Kritters, by bouncing onto a Krash's head. Some Krashes sit idly at the start of a track railing, and the Kongs can jump on the Krash to hijack its Mine Cart and resume riding on the tracks.
 
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] port, Krashes were recolored from green to a light purple color.

Krashes were redesigned to have a muscular appearance and wield a club, further differentiating them from Kritters.

In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Krashes appear in the [[Mine Cart Ride]]s where they ride on a track adjacent to the Kongs. Krashes were redesigned to look more muscular (somewhat resembling [[Klubba]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''), and their new design visually distinguishes them from Kritters. Each Krash is wielding a club, which they attempt to whack the active [[Kong]] with. The Kong can avoid being hit by jumping over the club. If the Kongs are hit, they lose three of their collected coins.


Krashes can be defeated if they run into a solid formation, such as a pile of rocks, or by falling down into a pit. The active Kong must usually pull a lever to allow one of these things to defeat Krash.

Krashes (also known as Cart Kritters[1]) are enemies introduced in Donkey Kong Country. They ride in uncontrollable Mine Carts. Krashes do not appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2, but they have a similar Roller Coaster-riding counterpart, Klanks.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country[edit]

Krashes are enemies in Donkey Kong Country. In Mine Cart Carnage, Krashes ride a Mine Cart in the direction opposite of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. Any contact with a Krash, including jumping onto it, damages the player characters while leaving the Krash unaffected. In Mine Cart Madness, Krashes sit idly at the start of a track railing, and the player characters can safely jump on a Krash to hijack its Mine Cart and continue riding on the tracks. Krashes have an identical appearance to Kritters, though the second remake changes them to a distinct light purple color.

Donkey Kong 64[edit]

Krashes are enemies in Donkey Kong 64. They appear in the Mine Cart Rides only, riding on a track next to the Kongs. Krashes were redesigned to have a muscular appearance and wield a club, further differentiating them from Kritters. The Kongs can jump over the club to avoid taking damage, otherwise they lose three DK Coins. Krashes are defeated if they crash into a pile of rocks or fall into a pit. The active Kong usually has to pull a lever to defeat Krash either way.
