A '''Krash''' is a mine-cart driving [[Kritter]]. Krashs can be a real hassle, as they have no concern for their own safety. Krashs will attempt to run Donkey and Diddy off a mine cart track, time your jumps accurately so that they clear him and he ends up plowing onward to his own inevitable doom.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' an enemy similar to Krash, called [[Klank]] appears. The only major difference between a Krash and a Klank is that Klanks, instead of trying to ram the kongs throw barrels at them.

Krashes are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They first appear in [[Mine Cart Carnage]], where 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. Krashes make their second and final appearance in [[Mine Cart Madness]], sitting 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 except in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]], which changes them to light purple.


Oddly, despite ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 3]]'' having several kart-riding levels no equivalent of Krash appeared.

Krashs also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' in the game's mine cart tracks. The Krashs in this game are much more muscular and now weild a club, which they try to smack a kong with, if they do that kong will lose coins. These Krashs can be defeated by causing them to smash into something such as a pile of rocks. Usually a kong will have to pull a lever to drop something in a Krash's path.

* Interestingly the ''Donkey Kong 64'' version of Krash is extremely similar in appearance to [[Klubba]], a "sort-of" ally of the Kongs from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Like Klubba, Krash is large, muscular, has a small head in proportion to the rest of it's body and weilds a large spiked club. These similarities led some to believe that Krash was Klubba.
