'''Kuff 'n' Klout''' (also known as the '''Kremling Twins'''<ref>{{cite|author=Owsen, Dan; Munson, Terry; Shinoda, Paul|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' Player's Guide|page=112|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=American English}}</ref>) are two large, beefy, and light brown [[Kremling]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', and are one of the few enemies to not reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Kuff 'n' Klout share a nearly identical appearance, but as shown in their artwork, the only way Kuff 'n' Klout can be told apart is from their eye color: One of them has purple eyes, and the other has green eyes. However, both of them have green eyes in the game, therefore making them indistinguishable. Kuff 'n' Klouts attack by making movements reminiscent to a game of leapfrog, or racing about the screen, shoulder to shoulder. Some Kuff 'n' Klouts perform the former then the latter in succession to each other. Kuff 'n' Klouts are the strongest Kremling enemies, as they can only be defeated from either a [[barrel]] or one of [[Squitter the Spider|Squitter]]'s [[Spider Web|webs]]. If [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] try any direct attack on a Kuff 'n' Klout, they get hurt. Kuff 'n' Klouts appear only in the first three [[Krematoa]] levels: [[Stampede Sprint]], [[Criss Kross Cliffs]], and [[Tyrant Twin Tussle]], the latter including them as the main obstacle. In [[Dixie's Photo Album]], Kuff 'n' Klout are classified as part of the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.

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'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 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 charges at the player characters and disappears 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.
