Krashes (also known as Cart Kritters[1]) are enemies introduced in Donkey Kong Country. They ride in uncontrollable Mine Carts. Krashes do not appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2, but they have a similar Roller Coaster-riding counterpart, Klanks.
History
Donkey Kong Country
Krashes are enemies in Donkey Kong Country. In Mine Cart Carnage, 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. In Mine Cart Madness, Krashes sit 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, though the second remake changes them to a distinct light purple color.
Donkey Kong 64
Krashes are enemies in Donkey Kong 64. They appear in the Mine Cart Rides only, riding on a track next to the Kongs. Krashes were redesigned to have a muscular appearance and wield a club, further differentiating them from Kritters. The Kongs can jump over the club to avoid taking damage, otherwise they lose three DK Coins. Krashes are defeated if they crash into a pile of rocks or fall into a pit. The active Kong usually has to pull a lever to defeat Krash either way.

Trivia
- Though Krashes never make any direct appearance in the Donkey Kong Country animated series, some episodes have Kritters riding around on minecarts, effectively making a Krash in a sense.
- In some courses of Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, Kritter can hop into a minecart, making him act like Krash.
- "Krash" was the original name for Krunch in Diddy Kong Racing.
