Krunch

Krunch is a Kremling and member of the Kremling Krew, he is also surprisingly a friend of Diddy Kong. Krunch's first appearance is in the game Diddy Kong Racing. Here, Krunch is sent by King K. Rool to investigate why Diddy Kong and several of his friends are at Timber's Island and to see if they are hatching some sort of anti-Kremling plot. Instead of antagonizing Diddy and his friends though Krunch ends up aiding them in their battle against the evil alien hog, Wizpig. Krunch has the worst acceleration and handling in the game, but has a very high top speed, making him the 3rd fastest racer.

Krunch was going to appear in the now canceled sequel to Diddy Kong Racing, Diddy Kong Pilot. Krunch makes a reappearance in Diddy Kong Racing DS; he seems to have somewhat of a bullying attitude in this game. Krunch is left relatively unchanged from the N64 version, but his changes are a small boost in his turning and acceleration, along with a small drop in top speed.

Trivia

 * The Kritters of Donkey Kong 64 wear the same skull-and-crossbones leather jacket as Krunch did in Diddy Kong Racing. The skull-and-crossbones, due to graphical limitations, disappears in the DS version.
 * Krunch speaks in a hissing-like noise in the first cut-scene of Diddy Kong Racing DS. He says to the other Kremling, "Where are thosssssssse Kongssssssss going? I will follow!" When selected, however, Krunch never makes any hissing noises.
