'''Krushas''' are muscular, blue [[Kremling]]s and are among the elite soldiers of the [[Kremling Krew]]. They first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. All Krushas wear clothing with a camouflage pattern and a silver arm band on each forearm. They also have a spiky yellow mohawk on their heads, three clawed toes, and four fingers.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country''====
[[File:Krusha DKC blue.png|frame|left]]
Krushas are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country''. Like most others, Krushas walk forward and injure [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] upon contact with them. Because they are muscular, Krushas will laugh off most of the [[Kong]]s' direct attacks. They can only be defeated with a [[barrel]], Donkey Kong jumping on them, or [[Rambi]] charging into them. Also, while it does not harm them, Donkey Kong can [[Hand Slap]] a Krusha, causing it to drop a single [[banana]] each time it is Hand Slapped. Exclusively in [[Platform Perils]] is a gray variant that wears orange wristbands, a purple camouflage suit, and has orange head spikes. This type is stronger because they laugh off even Donkey Kong's jump attack, leaving barrels as the only method of defeating them. Gray Krushas do not drop any bananas when Hand Slapped. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|first remake]] only, gray Krushas also appear in [[Necky Nutmare]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|second remake]], during the opening cutscene, Diddy fends off some Kritters while guarding the [[banana hoard]], only to be subdued by a Krusha, taking the role of Klump in the original version.
====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
[[File:Kruncha DKC2 blue.png|frame|right]]
While not pointed out in the manual, [[Kruncha]]s appear to be Krushas in pirate gear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. This was later confirmed to be true by character designer [[Steve Mayles]] in a Twitter post.<ref>{{cite|author=Mayles, Steve|language=en|date=December 17, 2017|url=x.com/WinkySteve/status/942523428606799874|title=Yes|publisher=X|accessdate=July 17, 2024}}</ref> Despite being the same thing, Krunchas appear to be shorter and wider than Krushas, probably stemming from having a different base model.
Two other muscular Kremlings, [[Krumple]]s and [[Kasplat]]s, would later appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' respectively, acting as the successors of both Krushas and Krunchas.

===''Donkey Kong Country'' novel===
An individual Krusha (referred to as "the strongest commander") appears as the final antagonist of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' novelization. After the [[Kong]]s board the [[Gangplank Galleon]] and defeat most of [[King K. Rool]]'s commanders, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] attempt to attack Krusha, but the reptile shrugs off their assault and punches them both. The Kongs then propel themselves using coiled ropes found at opposites of the ship, knocking Krusha unconscious.

[[File:Diddy's day .png|200px|thumb|left|Appearance in Donkey Kong Jungle Action Special]]
A Krusha appears in the ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Action Special]]'' comic "Diddy's Day". Part of a Kremling gang sent to get Donkey Kong, Krusha is summoned with the other Kremlings when the [[Rock Kroc]] leader of the group surprises Diddy Kong. The Krusha charges at Diddy in the ensuing brawl, but he is quickly taken out when Donkey Kong (who had been watching over Diddy from behind the bushes) throws a coconut at the back of his head.

===''Donkey Kong Land''===
Krushas are one of the three types of Kremling enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', the other two being [[Kritter]]s and [[Klaptrap]]s. Krushas behave identically to the standard blue type in ''Donkey Kong Country''.


'''Krushas''' are blue-scaled, [[Kremling]]s; they are among the elite of the [[Kremling Krew]]. All Krushas wear clothing with a camouflage pattern and also have silver arm bands on each forearm.
===''Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle''===
In the novel ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle]]'', [[Donkey Kong]] encounters an individual Krusha on the eighth floor of the [[Kremling]]'s factory, within [[Big Ape City]]. Holding Donkey Kong in a bear hug, Krusha says that he will bring him straight to [[King K. Rool]], the leader of the Kremlings. Krusha is described as "the biggest and strongest of all the Kremlings", although not the "brightest". And Donkey Kong tricks Krusha into thinking that in his backpack, he has a list of the locations of all the [[Kong]]s on [[Donkey Kong Island]]. Krusha, who desires to make his boss happy by kidnapping all of the Kongs, loosens his grip on Donkey Kong to allow him to reach into his backpack. However, Donkey Kong pulls out a [[barrel]] instead, tossing it at Krusha which causes him to stumble and lose his balance. Donkey Kong then uses a [[Roll Attack|barrel roll]] and [[Double Jump|double jump]] to knock Krusha "out cold". He then continues his journey to the factory's defense-system.

[[File:KrushaScreen.png|thumb|Krusha, with his gun, in the multiplayer mode of ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
Krushas first appear in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' as uncommon foes, portrayed as large, hulking, dangerous and formidable but amiable Kremlings; Krushas will attack [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]] by walking into them, and can only be defeated by having a [[barrel]] thrown at them or by having Donkey Kong jump on them, being resistant to any other method of attack (simply laughing it off) [this is because they limp with leg spasms]. Of note, another type of Krusha, gray in color and wearing blue clothing (darker than the regular Krusha's skin), can be found in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' levels "[[Necky Nutmare]]" and "[[Platform Perils]]"; these Gray Krushas can only be defeated by having a barrel thrown at them, with any other attack doing nothing to them at all.
A Krusha is an unlockable playable character in the multiplayer mode of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. He can be unlocked by photographing fifteen [[Banana Fairy|Banana Fairies]] in the main mode. Krusha is a large character like [[Chunky Kong]]. He has a unique fast sliding attack and uses an [[orange grenade launcher]] as a personal weapon, both dealing 1.5x the damage compared to Chunky. Krusha appears blue by default, but he also has three [[palette swap]]s of yellow, green, and purple.

With a {{iw|wikipedia|cheating device}}, it is possible to play as Krusha in the main game. Some of the non-playable characters refer to Krusha by name, though none of them have unique dialogue while interacting to him. Krusha also has some unused animations, some of which are taken from Chunky's.

—Krusha, Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle

Krushas are muscular, blue Kremlings and are among the elite soldiers of the Kremling Krew. They first appear in Donkey Kong Country. All Krushas wear clothing with a camouflage pattern and a silver arm band on each forearm. They also have a spiky yellow mohawk on their heads, three clawed toes, and four fingers.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country series[edit]

Donkey Kong Country[edit]

Sprite of a blue Krusha in Donkey Kong Country

Krushas are enemies in Donkey Kong Country. Like most others, Krushas walk forward and injure Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong upon contact with them. Because they are muscular, Krushas will laugh off most of the Kongs' direct attacks. They can only be defeated with a barrel, Donkey Kong jumping on them, or Rambi charging into them. Also, while it does not harm them, Donkey Kong can Hand Slap a Krusha, causing it to drop a single banana each time it is Hand Slapped. Exclusively in Platform Perils is a gray variant that wears orange wristbands, a purple camouflage suit, and has orange head spikes. This type is stronger because they laugh off even Donkey Kong's jump attack, leaving barrels as the only method of defeating them. Gray Krushas do not drop any bananas when Hand Slapped. In the first remake only, gray Krushas also appear in Necky Nutmare. In the second remake, during the opening cutscene, Diddy fends off some Kritters while guarding the banana hoard, only to be subdued by a Krusha, taking the role of Klump in the original version.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

Sprite of a blue Kruncha in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

While not pointed out in the manual, Krunchas appear to be Krushas in pirate gear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. This was later confirmed to be true by character designer Steve Mayles in a Twitter post.[2] Despite being the same thing, Krunchas appear to be shorter and wider than Krushas, probably stemming from having a different base model.

Two other muscular Kremlings, Krumples and Kasplats, would later appear in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong 64 respectively, acting as the successors of both Krushas and Krunchas.

Donkey Kong Country novel[edit]

An individual Krusha (referred to as "the strongest commander") appears as the final antagonist of the Donkey Kong Country novelization. After the Kongs board the Gangplank Galleon and defeat most of King K. Rool's commanders, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong attempt to attack Krusha, but the reptile shrugs off their assault and punches them both. The Kongs then propel themselves using coiled ropes found at opposites of the ship, knocking Krusha unconscious.

Club Nintendo[edit]

In the German Club Nintendo's comic adaptation of Donkey Kong Country, a Krusha makes a small cameo appearance, on the background of King K. Rool's Gangplank Galleon.

Donkey Kong Jungle Action Special[edit]

Panel from the Donkey Kong Jungle Action Special story "Diddy's Day".
Appearance in Donkey Kong Jungle Action Special

A Krusha appears in the Donkey Kong Jungle Action Special comic "Diddy's Day". Part of a Kremling gang sent to get Donkey Kong, Krusha is summoned with the other Kremlings when the Rock Kroc leader of the group surprises Diddy Kong. The Krusha charges at Diddy in the ensuing brawl, but he is quickly taken out when Donkey Kong (who had been watching over Diddy from behind the bushes) throws a coconut at the back of his head.

Donkey Kong Land[edit]

Krushas are one of the three types of Kremling enemies in Donkey Kong Land, the other two being Kritters and Klaptraps. Krushas behave identically to the standard blue type in Donkey Kong Country.

Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle[edit]

In the novel Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle, Donkey Kong encounters an individual Krusha on the eighth floor of the Kremling's factory, within Big Ape City. Holding Donkey Kong in a bear hug, Krusha says that he will bring him straight to King K. Rool, the leader of the Kremlings. Krusha is described as "the biggest and strongest of all the Kremlings", although not the "brightest". And Donkey Kong tricks Krusha into thinking that in his backpack, he has a list of the locations of all the Kongs on Donkey Kong Island. Krusha, who desires to make his boss happy by kidnapping all of the Kongs, loosens his grip on Donkey Kong to allow him to reach into his backpack. However, Donkey Kong pulls out a barrel instead, tossing it at Krusha which causes him to stumble and lose his balance. Donkey Kong then uses a barrel roll and double jump to knock Krusha "out cold". He then continues his journey to the factory's defense-system.

Donkey Kong 64[edit]

A Krusha is an unlockable playable character in the multiplayer mode of Donkey Kong 64. He can be unlocked by photographing fifteen Banana Fairies in the main mode. Krusha is a large character like Chunky Kong. He has a unique fast sliding attack and uses an orange grenade launcher as a personal weapon, both dealing 1.5x the damage compared to Chunky. Krusha appears blue by default, but he also has three palette swaps of yellow, green, and purple.

Kasplat is mistakenly called Krusha in the Prima guide to Donkey Kong 64.[page number needed]

With a cheating device, it is possible to play as Krusha in the main game. Some of the non-playable characters refer to Krusha by name, though none of them have unique dialogue while interacting to him. Krusha also has some unused animations, some of which are taken from Chunky's.

Donkey Kong Country television series[edit]

Main article: Krusha (character)
