'''Krashes''' are a type of [[Kremling]] who drive around in [[Mine Cart]]s uncontrollably. Krashes have an identical appearance to [[Kritter]]s, and they first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. | |||
[[Klank]]s are the considerable successor to Krash in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. | |||

In their debut appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country'', Krashes appear in both Mine Cart levels, [[Mine Cart Carnage]] and [[Mine Cart Madness]]. In their first level appearance, Krashes ride a Mine Cart in the opposite direction of [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]], and if they ram into the [[Kong]]s, the lead one falls out of the Mine Cart. Although Krashes look vulnerable similarly to Kritters, the Kongs cannot jump their Mine Cart onto Krash, as this injures them while the Krash remains unaffected. The Kongs must only avoid Krashes by jumping over them. | |||
Krashes | Krashes make their second and final appearance in Mine Cart Madness. Here, the Kongs jump out of their Mine Carts directly instead of carrying it with them. The Kongs can defeat Krashes very similarly to Kritters, by bouncing onto a Krash's head. Some Krashes sit idly at the start of a track railing, and the Kongs can jump on the Krash to hijack its Mine Cart and resume riding on the tracks. | ||
Krashes | In the [[Game Boy Advance]] port, Krashes were recolored from green to a light purple color. | ||
===''Donkey Kong 64''=== | |||

In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Krashes appear in the [[Mine Cart Ride]]s where they ride on a track adjacent to the Kongs. Krashes were redesigned to look more muscular (somewhat resembling [[Klubba]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''), and their new design visually distinguishes them from Kritters. Each Krash is wielding a club, which they attempt to whack the active [[Kong]] with. The Kong can avoid being hit by jumping over the club. If the Kongs are hit, they lose three of their collected coins. | |||
Krashes can be defeated if they run into a solid formation, such as a pile of rocks, or by falling down into a pit. The active Kong must usually pull a lever to allow one of these things to defeat Krash. | |||

*Though Krashes never directly appeared on the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]], some episodes have Kritters riding around on minecarts, effectively making a Krash in a sense. | *Though Krashes never directly appeared on the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]], some episodes have Kritters riding around on minecarts, effectively making a Krash in a sense. | ||
**Similarly, in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', when Kritter hops into a minecart, he resembles a Krash. | **Similarly, in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', when Kritter hops into a minecart, he resembles a Krash. |
