'''Krunchas''' | {{quote2|Muscle-bound and muscle-headed, Kruncha is impervious to Diddy and Dixie's attacks. They only make him mad!|''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' manual, page 29}} | ||
'''Krunchas''' are light blue, muscular members of the [[Kremling Krew]] and common enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They are [[Krusha]]s that wear pirate gear,<ref>WinkySteve (December 17, 2017). https://twitter.com/WinkySteve/status/942523428606799874. ''Twitter''. Retrieved December 17, 2017.</ref> but despite this, Krunchas are noticeably different in appearance, being shorter and wider than Krushas. | |||
==History== | |||
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''=== | |||
[[File:GangplankGalleySNES.png|thumb|left|Three Krunchas being encountered in Gangplank Galley, the first level where Krunchas appear]] | |||
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 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 (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]]. | |||

===''Donkey Kong Land 2''=== | |||
In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Krunchas behave identically as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', though due to the [[Game Boy]]'s monochromatic screen, they no longer have color variants. | |||
