Kung Fu Dūke are enemies in Princess Peach: Showtime!, and are members of the Sour Bunch. They are Dūke dressed in orange kung fu gi, as well as orange guapi mao hats with dark green brims. They appear as the primary enemies in the Kung Fu plays A Kung Fu Tale, A Kung Fu Legend, and The Dark School & the Twisted Fist, and act as the trainees for the Yami no Kung Fu Master. They use martial arts to attack Peach, and can hop closer to her. The few Kung Fu Dūke in the beginning of A Kung Fu Tale can be defeated with Sparkle. Additionally, Kung Fu Peach can defeat them with a couple kicks, or even defeat them instantly with a swinging kick from a pole. Kung Fu Dūke also appear in the Kung Fu Rehearsal.

In A Kung Fu Legend, four green-clad Kung Fu Dūke have kidnapped each of the Teacher's four children; Kung Fu Peach must chase down the whole gang as she catches up to them one by one, and saves each child from them. In battle, they act the same as the orange Kung Fu Dūke
