'''Kluff 'n' Klout''' (also known as the '''Tyrant Twins ''') are extra-big, beefed-up [[Kremling]]s found in only three levels in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]''. They have their very own underground level, called "[[Tyrant Twin Tussle]]", where they attack by playing a game of leapfrog and by racing about the screen, shoulder to shoulder. The Tyrant Twins can only be defeated by using a [[TNT Barrel]] or by using [[Squitter the Spider]]'s webs.

==Trivia==
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 [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], the other twin just disappears after a few seconds.


* Interestingly if only one of the Tyrant Twins are defeated the other will remain motionless or suddenly disappear seconds later.  
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.


* The only way to tell Kuff and Klout apart is by their eye color, one of them has purple eyes while the other has green.

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 Kong'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.
