In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Krimps are vulnerable from the back (unlike Klampons and Klaptraps) and on the top. The Kongs can quickly defeat a Krimp by either jumping onto it or throwing a [[barrel]] at it. [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] can also defeat Krimp by rolling into it from behind; they cannot roll into Krimp from the front, else it bites them. Some Krimps move faster than others, especially in later levels. A Krimp appears on the "Bash the Baddies!" [[Bonus Level]] title card.

[[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] can also defeat Krimp by rolling into it from behind; they cannot roll into Krimp from the front, else it bites them. Some Krimps move faster than others, especially in later levels. When defeated in cascade levels, Krimps make a lower-pitched variation of [[Re-Koil]]'s cry, compared to the normal cry that originally belonged to [[Krusha]], [[Rambi]], and [[King K. Rool]]. Their cry also echoes when defeated in those levels. A Krimp also appears on the "Bash the Baddies!" [[Bonus Level]] title card, although activating the "COLOR" [[Cheat code|cheat]] shows a blue Krimp instead, despite none ever appearing; the color is closer to purple, since the Krimp shares an in-game palette with Dixie. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a photograph of a Krimp is classified as part of the [[Kremling Kreeps]] enemy class.
