A '''Kackle''' is a ghostly, skeletal [[Kremling]] that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Kackles wear eyepatches and bandannas, and hover around similar to [[Kloak]]s, and share an entry in the games' manuals; Kackles are only seen in the level [[Haunted Hall]]. Kackles are absent from ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', as the game replaces Haunted Hall with a generic rollercoaster level, [[Krazy Koaster]].

* The official manuals reuse [[Kloak]]'s description for Kackle, meaning it says he haunts many locations on Crocodile Isle, while the guide claims that he shows up at Krazy Kremland. In the game, Kackle only shows up in Haunted Hall in Gloomy Gulch.
