Template:Quote2 Krunchas are light blue, muscular members of the Kremling Krew and common enemies in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. They are Krushas that wear pirate gear,[1] but despite this, Krunchas are noticeably different in appearance, being shorter and wider than Krushas.
History
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
In their debut appearance, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Krunchas slowly move back and forth while swinging their heavily-muscled arms, defeating a Kong if they come in contact with them. Krunchas can be defeated by Animal Friends, being hit by a crate or a barrel, being touched by an invincible Kong, and by Team-up throws. Attempting to attack a Kruncha in any other way causes it to turn bright red as it roars in anger. In their enraged state, they walk around faster, and attempting to attack it with a Team-up throw will only result in the defeat of the thrown Kong. After a while, an angry Kruncha reverts to its calm, default state.
Krunchas are commonly light blue. However, a rare, light pink variant can be encountered in Castle Crush and Clapper's Cavern. Unlike their blue counterparts, pink Krunchas would walk off platforms, and they also move at an even quicker pace when enraged. In the ending Cast of Characters, a Kruncha appears under the Kremling Kuthroats category.
In the Game Boy Advance version, a Kruncha can also be defeated from being jumped on while Team-up is active. There is also a photograph of Kruncha in Red-Hot Ride, and it appears under the second page of the scrapbook.
