'''Kobbles''' are basic, green [[Kremlings]] that were used as the soldier grunts of the [[Kremling Krew]], they replaced the [[Kritter]]s and [[Klomp]]s of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' respectively.  
'''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===  
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
During the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' 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 (they only appeared in the levels, [[Lakeside Limbo]], [[Kreeping Klasps]], and [[Tidal 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''===
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
In this game Kobbles behaved identically to the way they did in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'', although in this game they were a far more common enemy, and due to limitations were black and white and made a slight drone noise when defeated instead of the regular Kremling cry of defeat.
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:

In the remake of the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' Kobbles return and play the exact same role, they however now have a different voice when defeated is a more high-pitched and whiny one, which it shares with the [[Kritter|Kritters]] and [[Klomp|Klomps]] of the GBA remakes. Oddly, at the end a Kobble is seen in Dixie Kong's Photo Album in a Mill despite never appearing in one in the game.

==Trivia==
*According to the game's credits, Kobbles belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.
*Unlike their Kritter cousins, Kobbles do not wear clothing of any kind (except for the ring that pierces their lower lips)
*[[Skidda]], another member of the Kremlings, bears an exact resemblance to Kobble, being pink and resides in snowy areas though.
