'''Krumples''' are large blue muscular members of the [[Kremling Krew]]. They are similar to [[Krusha]]s, [[Kruncha]]s, and [[Kasplat]]s, other blue muscular [[Kremling]]s, though they are most similar to Krusha, in terms of behavior. According to the game's credits, Krumples belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.
'''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 [[Krusha]]s and [[Kruncha]]s from the two respective previous installments. A Krumple appears on the box art of both games that it appears in.


Krumples are first encountered in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', here they are semi-common enemies. Krumples, like most enemies, attack [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] by charging into them. Krumples are so muscular that they cannot be defeated by Kiddy's rolling attack, and they cannot be hurt at all by Dixie. They laugh and taunt the [[Kong]]s when they unsuccessfully try to hit them. However, certain [[Animal Friends]], a throwable weapon (such as a [[barrel]]), or Kiddy's jump attack can defeat a Krumple, similar to how [[Donkey Kong]] is able to defeat the blue Krushas in the first game. Krumples can also be defeated by Kiddy rolling onto them from above, like [[Klampon]]s and [[Krimp]]s. Krumples usually appear in cave levels or waterfall levels.

Krumples only appear in three levels of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'': [[Rocket Barrel Ride]], [[Tracker Barrel Trek]], and [[Creepy Caverns]]. Like most enemies, Krumples attack [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] by simply moving into them. A Krumple can be defeated from either a [[barrel]], [[Team Up]], or by having Kiddy [[jump]] on them (just like how in the first game, only [[Donkey Kong]] can defeat blue [[Krusha]]s with a jump attack. In [[Tracker Barrel Trek]], [[Ellie the Elephant]] can defeat Krumples by spraying water at them, while in [[Creepy Cavern]]s, Krumples can be defeated by [[Squitter the Spider]]'s webs. Krumples are unaffected by Kiddy's [[roll]], unless he performs it from high enough, or any of Dixie's attacks, and he will respond back by taunting the [[Kong]]s. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Krumple photograph appears under the [[Kremling Kreeps]] category.


Krumples also appear ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', a semi-sequel to ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. There is no real difference between the Krumples of ''Donkey Kong Land 3'' and the ones of ''Donkey Kong Country 3''; however, they are much more common than they were in the previous game.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Krumples also appear in [[Surf's Up]], and its sound effects are recycled from Krunchas in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' remake.

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

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Krumples only appear in three levels of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!: Rocket Barrel Ride, Tracker Barrel Trek, and Creepy Caverns. Like most enemies, Krumples attack Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong by simply moving into them. A Krumple can be defeated from either a barrel, Team Up, or by having Kiddy jump on them (just like how in the first game, only Donkey Kong can defeat blue Krushas with a jump attack. 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 unaffected by Kiddy's roll, unless he performs it from high enough, or any of Dixie's attacks, and he 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 Surf's Up, and its sound effects are recycled from Krunchas in the Donkey Kong Country 2 remake.

Donkey Kong Land III

In Donkey Kong Land III, though Krumples behave identically as in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, they appear in significantly more levels.

    • This same roar is based on an actual alligator's bellow.
  • Krumple is mentioned in Kludge's Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy, but only in American English versions.
