History
Donkey Kong Country
Krushas first appear in the game Donkey Kong Country as uncommon foes, portrayed as large, hulking, dangerous and formidable but amiable Kremlings. Krushas attack Donkey and Diddy Kong by walking into them, and can only be defeated by throwing a barrel at them or by having Donkey Kong jump on them, being resistant to any other method of attack (simply laughing it off). Although it does not harm them, Donkey Kong's Hand Slap attack still causes them to drop a banana every time they are hit by it, making it possible to acquire a virtually unlimited number of bananas from any single Krusha.
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 throwing a barrel at them, with any other attack doing nothing to them at all. Unlike the blue variety, they do not drop bananas when Hand Slapped.
The Donkey Kong Country comic
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.
The Donkey Kong animated series
- Main article: Krusha (character)
In the Donkey Kong animated series, a dimwitted Krusha named Krusha appears as a recurring villain alongside King K. Rool and General Klump.
Donkey Kong Land
Krushas reappear in Donkey Kong Land, where they are essentially identical in all regards to their appearance in Donkey Kong Country; the Gray Krushas seen in that game are absent due to the Game Boy not supporting color.
Donkey Kong Land III
Krushas did not appear in this game though oddly, Knockas were referred to as Krushas.
Donkey Kong 64
In the Multiplayer Mode of Donkey Kong 64, players can gain the ability to play as a Krusha after photographing fifteen Banana Fairies; the playable Krusha is virtually identical in terms of gameplay to Chunky Kong, but utilizes an Orange Grenade Launcher in combat, as opposed to Chunky's Pineapple Launcher.
