Knockas are green lanky Kremlings who hide in green barrels with faces painted on them. Knockas are encountered in both Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III.

In Donkey Kong Country 3 Knockas are fairly common enemies, encountered in a large amount of levels. Knockas have an attack pattern similar to an earlier enemy named Klobber; a Knocka will wait hidden in it's barrel, if either Dixie or Kiddy Kong pass by a Klobber will spring forth out of it's barrel and begin trying to ram the Kongs. Since a Klobber cannot directly hurt a Kong they will try and ram them into either another enemy or an abyss.

A Knocka can be defeated by simply jumping on it, this will knock it back into it's barrel. Once back in it's barrel a Knocka can simply be picked up and thrown away. In later levels of Donkey Kong Country 3 two barrel wearing sub-species of Knockas, Klasps and Kuchukas are encountered. Also in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3 an explosive version of Knockas, TNT Knockas are encountered in one level of the game.

In Donkey Kong Land III Knockas, along with Klasps and Kuchukas, are still semi-common enemies. The game erroneously lists Knockas as Krushas, however, yet aside from the name, there is no real difference between the Knockas of Donkey Kong Country 3 and Donkey Kong Land III.

Trivia

  • According to the game's credits, Knockas belong to the "Kremling Kreeps" enemy class.
