'''Knockas''' are green lanky [[Kremling]]s who hide in green [[barrel]]s with faces painted on them. They are encountered in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They are the direct successor of [[Klobber]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', though unlike Klobbers, the barrel worn by Knockas can easily be differentiated from a regular barrel. In the Game Boy Advance version, they reuse the voice clips of Klobbers from its prequel.

In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Knockas are common enemies who appear in many levels. Like their predecessor, Klobber, a Knocka hides in its barrel; if [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] approaches the enemy, it attempts to knock into them. They cannot directly injure the [[Kong]]s, so Knockas try and hit them into another enemy or a pit. To defeat a Knocka, the Kongs must [[jump]] onto it, pick it up, and throw it. Unlike Klobbers from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Dixie and Kiddy do not lose any items if a Knocka hits them.
Knockas are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''. They hide in their barrel at first, dormant, until being approached by [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]], then the Knocka begins to run after them. Knockas cannot damage the player characters directly and opt for trying to push them into another enemy or a pit instead. A Knocka can be defeated if the [[Kong]] [[jump]]s onto it, picks up the Knocka, and throws it at a surface. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Knocka is categorized under the [[Kremling Kreeps]].

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Knockas, along with Klasps and Kuchukas, are still semi-common enemies. They retain their behavior from ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' The ending of the game erroneously titles Knockas as [[Krusha]]s.

Outside of international releases, a Knocka changes from green to red only while being carried, using the exact sprite and palette as a barrel when carried.


When Knocka is carried by a Kong in the [[Game Boy Color]] version, it changes from green to red, because it uses the same exact sprite and palette as a regular carried barrel. When the Kong puts the Knocka back onto the ground, it changes back to its normal green color.

They are the successor of Klobbers from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, but Knockas are different mainly from the fact that they wear a barrel with a noticeably different appearance from regular barrels.

History[edit]

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

Knockas are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. They hide in their barrel at first, dormant, until being approached by Dixie Kong or Kiddy Kong, then the Knocka begins to run after them. Knockas cannot damage the player characters directly and opt for trying to push them into another enemy or a pit instead. A Knocka can be defeated if the Kong jumps onto it, picks up the Knocka, and throws it at a surface. In Dixie Kong's Photo Album, a Knocka is categorized under the Kremling Kreeps.

In the remake, Knockas use the same voice clips as Klobbers from the previous game. Additionally, the remake also introduces Krackas, a variant of Klasp behaving like Knockas.

Donkey Kong Land III[edit]

Knockas are enemies in Donkey Kong Land III. They act the same as before. The ending of the game erroneously titles Knockas as Krushas. Outside of international releases, a Knocka changes from green to red only while being carried, using the exact sprite and palette as a barrel when carried.
