In their debut appearance, ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Krunchas slowly move back and forth while swinging their muscles. Their muscular body protects from [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]'s jumping and roll attacks. If the [[Kong]]s attempt either attack on a Kruncha, it turns bright red in anger, lets out a roar, and moves around faster. After a while, the Kruncha reverts to its normal state. If a Kong gets hit by a Kruncha, the player loses that Kong.

If a Kong gets hit by a Kruncha, regardless of its status, the player loses that Kong. | ||
Krunchas can be defeated by either an [[Animal Friend]], by throwing an object (such as a [[crate]] or [[barrel]]) at it, while under the effects of an [[Invincibility Barrel]], or by using a [[Team-up]] throw. If the Kruncha is red, it is invulnerable to Team-up throw, and if a Kong is thrown at a red Kruncha, that Kong is defeated. | |||
Krunchas have an uncommon, light pink variant that only appears in two levels: [[Castle Crush]] and [[Clapper's Cavern (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Clapper's Cavern]]. They are mostly the same as the normal Krunchas, except that they walk off of platforms, and move even faster when angered. | |||
In the Game Boy Advance version, the Kongs can also defeat a Kruncha by jumping on it while using Team-up. A [[photograph]] of Kruncha can be obtained in [[Red-Hot Ride]], and it appears under the second page of the [[scrapbook]]. | |||
In the | In the ending Cast of Characters, a Kruncha appears under the [[Kremling Kuthroats]] category. | ||
