Krumples are large, blue, and muscular members of the Kremling Krew who appear in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III. They have a similar appearance and role to Krushas and Krunchas from the two respective previous installments. A Krumple appears on the box art of both games that it appears in.
History[edit]
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble![edit]
Krumples only appear in a few levels of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!: two are set around a waterfall and one is inside a cavern.
Like most enemies, Krumples attack Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong by simply moving into them. They can be defeated by a barrel, by Team Up, or by having Kiddy jump on them (just like how Donkey Kong can defeat blue Krushas from a jump attack in Donkey Kong Country, but not Diddy). In Tracker Barrel Trek, Ellie the Elephant can defeat Krumples by spraying water at them, while in Creepy Caverns, Krumples can be defeated by Squitter the Spider's webs.
Krumples are unfazed by Kiddy's roll (unless he performs it from above), or any direct attack from Dixie (including jumping), and will respond back by taunting the Kongs.
In Dixie Kong's Photo Album, a Krumple photograph appears under the Kremling Kreeps category.
In the Game Boy Advance version, Krumples also appear in a pipeline level. In the same version, its sound effects are recycled from Krunchas in Donkey Kong Country 2's Game Boy Advance version.
Levels:
- Rocket Barrel Ride
- Tracker Barrel Trek
- Creepy Caverns
- Surf's Up (Game Boy Advance version only)
Donkey Kong Land III[edit]
In Donkey Kong Land III, Krumples act the same as in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. They appear in much more levels than the previous game.
Levels:
- Jetty Jitters
- Rocketeer Rally
- Vertigo Verge
- Surface Tension
- Footloose Falls
- Karbine Kaos
- Rockface Chase
- Clifftop Critters
- Rickety Rapids

Trivia[edit]
- Rather than making the usual defeated enemy sound, Krumples make an actual roar when knocked out. This roar is a slowed down version of the same sound effect used for Baron K. Roolenstein and Kuff 'n' Klout.
- Krumple is mentioned in Kludge's Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy, but only in American English versions.
