-In their debut appearance, ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Krunchas slowly move back and forth while swinging their muscles. Their muscular body protects from [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]'s jumping and roll attacks. If the [[Kong]]s attempt either attack on a Kruncha, it turns bright red in anger, lets out a roar, and moves around faster. After a while, the Kruncha reverts to its normal state. If a Kong gets hit by a Kruncha, regardless of its status, the player loses that Kong.
+In their debut appearance, ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Krunchas slowly move back and forth while swinging their heavily-muscled arms, defeating a Kong if they come in contact with them. Krunchas can be defeated by [[Team-up]] throws, [[Animal Friend]]s, strikes from a [[crate]] or a [[barrel]], and contact with an [[Invincible Mario|invincible]] Kong. Attempting to attack a Kruncha in any other way causes it to turn bright red as it roars in anger. In their enraged state, they walk around faster, and attempting to attack it with a Team-up throw will only result in the defeat of the thrown Kong. After a while, an angry Kruncha reverts to its calm, default state.
-Krunchas can be defeated by either an [[Animal Friend]], by throwing an object (such as a [[crate]] or [[barrel]]) at it, while under the effects of an [[Invincibility Barrel]], or by using a [[Team-up]] throw. If the Kruncha is red, it is invulnerable to Team-up throw, and if a Kong is thrown at a red Kruncha, that Kong is defeated.
-Krunchas have an uncommon, light pink variant that only appears in two levels: [[Castle Crush]] and [[Clapper's Cavern (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Clapper's Cavern]]. They are mostly the same as the normal Krunchas, except that they walk off of platforms, and move even faster when angered.
-In the Game Boy Advance version, the Kongs can also defeat a Kruncha by jumping on it while using Team-up. A [[photograph]] of Kruncha can be obtained in [[Red-Hot Ride]], and it appears under the second page of the [[scrapbook]].
+Krunchas are commonly light blue. However, a rare, light pink variant can be encountered in [[Castle Crush]] and [[Clapper's Cavern (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Clapper's Cavern]]. Unlike their blue counterparts, pink Krunchas would walk off platforms, and they also move at an even quicker pace when enraged. In the ending Cast of Characters, a Kruncha appears under the [[Kremling Kuthroats]] category.

+In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], a Kruncha can also be defeated from being jumped on while Team-up is active. There is also a [[photograph]] of Kruncha in [[Red-Hot Ride]], and it appears under the second page of the [[scrapbook]].
