{{species infobox
'''Kobbles''' are basic, green [[Kremlings]] that were used as the soldier grunts of the [[Kremling Krew]] during the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]''. They replaced the [[Kritter]]s and [[Klomp]]s of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' respectively. Unlike their Kritter cousins, Kobbles do not wear clothing of any kind (except for the ring that pierces their lower lips). Kobbles can be easily defeated by any type of attack, and although they look somewhat strongly built, they are not a real threat. Despite being the generic soldier-type, Kobbles were very uncommon in the game. However, they did appear with more frequency in the game's pseudo-sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.

'''Kobbles''' are basic [[Kremling]] enemies which first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' They are the successor to [[Kritter]]s and [[Klomp]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' respectively. Kobbles have a green body, a light green underbelly, and a lip piercing. They have a purple counterpart named [[Skidda]], which appears in some snow levels.
 
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Kobbles only appear in three boardwalk levels, [[Lakeside Limbo]], [[Tidal Trouble]], and [[Kreeping Klasps]]. Like most enemies, Kobbles walk back and forth in a pattern, and [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can defeat them by using any attack. Later on, in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a photograph of Kobble appears under the "[[Dixie Kong's Photo Album#Kremling Kreeps|Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class; this photograph shows a Kobble in a mill area despite not appearing in any such levels.
 
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Kobbles make a higher-pitched voice when defeated, similarly to Kritters and Klomps in the remakes of the first two ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' games. Kobbles are even less common than before, as the only one of Tidal Trouble had not been retained for this version.
 
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Kobbles act identically as in the previous game. Kobbles appear in many more levels, and in more types of environments than boardwalks. They appear in 18 levels, as follows:
