Krashes are Kremlings that are unique enemies belonging to the Donkey Kong Country roster, mainly because they are Kritters firmly situated inside regular mine carts which can be found in any stage throughout the game involving them.

[edit] History

[edit] Donkey Kong Country

In their first appearance, Krash first showed up in the level Mine Cart Carnage of the world Monkey Mines. Their attack consists of simply running through the length of the cart track in the opposite direction, intending to run into either Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong head-on. The difficulty of this attack curves since Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong will never see a Krash coming if you're playing this stage for the very first time and can easily be caught off-guard.

They are later found in the Mine Cart Madness stage of the Chimp Caverns level. They have become completely dormant at this point and can be knocked out by simply landing on their heads, which proves to be a severely simple task.

[edit] Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

While the Krashes never made an actual appearance in this installment, they were clearly adapted into the Klank, which is a version of this Kremling enemy in the form of a Kutlass taking the helm of a Mine Cart.

[edit] Donkey Kong 64

Like Klump, the Krash enemy underwent a major refurbishment in Donkey Kong 64. Rather than a feeble Kritter shielding himself within his Mine Cart, this enemy now takes on a very Krusha-like appearance and attacks any opposing Kong riding alongside him with a large, brown club. The only way to dodge this harmful and upfront attack is to execute well-timed jumps.
