'''Kritters''' are a type of [[Kremling]] and the main foot soldiers of the [[Kremling Krew]], led by [[King K. Rool]]. Kritters come in a variety of colors, but are most commonly colored green or blue. As a basic representative, Kritters are named "Kremling" in some of their game appearances. Kritters first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and they sometimes appear in spinoff games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].
'''Kritters''' are [[Kremling]]s found frequently throughout the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]]. Kritters are the most common type of Kremlings, being the foot soldiers of the [[Kremling Krew]]. Their leader is a corpulent reptile named [[King K. Rool]]. Kritters come in a variety of colors, most commonly green and blue.


Kritters have had substitutes in later installments of the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]]. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', enemies known as [[Klomp]]s are Kritters<ref name="dkc2">Steve Mayles.

Likewise, a distinct Kremling variety formed by [[Kaboing]]s, which have two peg legs, replace ''Donkey Kong Country's'' jumping Kritters. Compared to the Kritters of the previous game, these varieties have a more upright posture, presumably due to their peg legs. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Kritters were replaced by a different type of Kremling, [[Kobble]]s, while jumping Kritters are replaced by [[Re-Koil]]s.

Kritters first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' where, along with [[Gnawty|Gnawties]] and [[Zinger]]s, they form the most common enemies in the game. Regular green Kritters (oddly recolored purple in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of the game) attack by simply walking forward into the Kongs, whereas other color variations can rhythmically jump at the heroes, following certain patterns: brown Kritters jump up and down, but remain above one single spot; blue Kritters jump while moving forward; yellow Kritters jump back and forth in a set path; gray Kritters hop a few times before leaping high, while moving forward. All variants of a Kritter can be defeated with any attack method.
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Kritters are one of the most common enemies, along with [[Gnawty|Gnawties]] and [[Zinger]]s. Kritters are one of the weakest enemies, and [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] can defeat them with any attack, including throwing a [[barrel]], jumping, rolling, or Donkey Kong's [[Hand Slap]]. Aside from the standard green type, Kritters have a few color variations, each with their own distinct pattern of moving and jumping: Green Kritters simply walk in a single direction toward the [[Kong]]s; brown Kritters repeatedly jump up in a single spot; blue Kritters jump while moving forward; yellow Kritters jump back and forth in a set path; and gray Kritters hop a few times before performing a high jump, all while moving forward.
 
Kritters are also present in ''Donkey Kong Country''{{'}}s follow-up for the [[Game Boy]], ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. In this game, all Kritters share the same color due to the Game Boy's color limitations, but they are otherwise assorted in behavior, just as before.


Despite green Kritters being purple in the Game Boy Advance remake, their picture in the [[Scrapbook]] uses their original green artwork.
In pre-production, Kritters were intended to be small enemies; their role in the final was seemingly combined with the unused "Klanger," simply described as a "Green Kremling."<ref>{{media link|DKC general naming.jpg|Early DKC general naming sheet}}</ref>

Green Kritters were changed to purple in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], but their [[photograph]] in the [[Scrapbook (Donkey Kong Country series)|Scrapbook]] uses their original green artwork.

Kritters appear in the following levels, in the following colors:
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Kritters are once again replaced, this time by a type of Kremlings called [[Kobble]]s, which are surprisingly rare in the former game while extremely common in the latter. Jumping Kritters have also been replaced with enemies called [[Re-Koil]]s, which are orange and bounce around on their tails instead of using their legs.

In the Game Boy Advance remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Kritters return as enemies in [[Funky Kong]]'s minigames. Here, the Kongs have to avoid attacking Kritters while performing a task (such as moving explosive mines), though sometimes the Kongs have to race and/or battle Kritters.
====''Donkey Kong Country 3'' (Game Boy Advance)====
{{main|Kruiser}}
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]'', Kritters are the enemies of the [[Funky's Rentals (minigame)|Funky's Rentals]] challenges. They ride around in black [[Motor Boat]]s, which are capable of firing turrets. They have a different role in each of the four challenges.

An individual Kritter (said to be a "common Kremling who rose through the ranks by being extra-nasty") appear as an antagonist in the final chapter. After the [[Kong]]s board the [[Gangplank Galleon]], [[Donkey Kong]] throws mini-barrels at Kritter, who shrug off the attack and taunt Donkey Kong. In response, the gorilla [[Hand Slap|hand slap]]s the floor, causing Kritter to crash to the lowest deck of the ship.

In the novel ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle]]'', after [[Donkey Kong]] breaks [[Funky Kong]] out of his cell, the Kongs are confronted by an individual Kritter who leads a "squadron" of [[Kremling]]s. Kritter threatens to put Funky Kong back into his cell, along with his friends. Donkey Kong distracts Kritter and the rest of the Kremlings with a [[Hand Slap|hand slap]], and then uses some "masterful monkey maneuvers" to defeat several Kremlings. Kritter and another Kremling grab [[Cranky Kong]], and Kritter says "Stop your assault or the old ape gets it!". However, Cranky says "Who are you calling an old ape, you big green toad?", before elbowing Kritter, and hitting the other Kremling with his cane. The Kongs then continue fighting the Kremlings by throwing [[barrel]]s, and performing [[Roll Attack|barrel roll]]s.

[[File: Klap-Blaster.jpg|thumb|left|A Kritter as seen on the [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]].]]
Kritters are one of the three Kremling enemies who return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. Due to the [[Game Boy]]'s monochromatic display, Kritters do not appear in different color variations. Kritters behave identically as in ''Donkey Kong Country''.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]], Kritters (voiced by Lawrence Bayne) occasionally appear; here they have the same appearance as the ones in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' game, but with shorter tails and unconnected eyes. [[Green Kroc]], a minion of [[Kaptain Skurvy]] and character of this TV show, is also a Kritter.
 
Kritters appear in the following levels:

In the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' television series]], Kritters (voiced by Lawrence Bayne) occasionally appear; here they have the same appearance as the ones in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' game, but with shorter tails and unconnected eyes. [[Green Kroc]], a minion of [[Kaptain Skurvy]] and character of this TV show, is also a Kritter. They often carry [[Klap-Blaster]]s, which fire miniature [[Klaptrap]]s.
 
=== ''Diddy Kong Racing'' / ''Diddy Kong Racing DS'' ===
A Kritter named [[Krunch]] appears in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' as the game's heavyweight racer, making this the first time a Kritter is a playable character.
 
In the [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|DS remake]], a generic Kritter, reusing Krunch's model, appears alongside Krunch as he spies on Diddy Kong. This scene is similar to an event described in the original game's manual.

===''Donkey Kong 64''===
[[File:Kritter - Donkey Kong 64.png|thumb|Kritter in ''Donkey Kong 64''.]]
[[File:Kritter - Donkey Kong 64.png|thumb|Kritter in ''Donkey Kong 64''.]]
Kritters (also called '''Kremlings''' in the [[Prima Games]] guide for ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''<ref>Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, and Donato Tica. ''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima Official Game Guide. [[Media:DK64 Prima 16.jpg|Page 16]].</ref>) return in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' as semi-common enemies. In this game all Kritters wear leather vests with a skull-and-crossbones emblem on it as well as a belt with a skull-and-crossbones buckle. Here Kritters attack the Kongs by punching and biting. The Kritters in this game appear skinnier and have fewer muscles. Kritters appear as enemies on all Battle Arenas except the ones in [[Jungle Japes]] and [[Creepy Castle]] and they also appear in the minigames [[Kremling Kosh]], [[Mad Maze Maul]], [[Stash Snatch]] and [[Busy Barrel Barrage]]. A few uncommon red Kritters appear in the level [[Frantic Factory]] and the minigame [[Kremling Kosh]]. In the former, [[Lanky Kong]] must memorize in which order the red Kritters belch, while in the latter, they are worth two points while green Kritters are worth one. These Kritters will pop out of barrels, flail their arms, and then very quickly retreat back into their barrel.
Kritters (also called '''Kremlings''' in the [[Prima Games]] guide for ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''<ref>Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, and Donato Tica. ''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima Official Game Guide. [[Media:DK64 Prima 16.jpg|Page 16]].</ref>) also appear as common enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They attack the Kongs by punching and biting them. Like in their previous appearances, Kritters remain one of the weakest enemies. They can be defeated from one hit, just like [[Gnawty|Gnawties]]. Kritters appear in every world except [[Fungi Forest]] and [[Creepy Castle]], and they also appear at [[Crocodile Isle (Donkey Kong 64)|Crocodile Isle]]. Kritters are also featured in nearly every [[Battle Arena Pad|Battle Arena]] except for [[Jungle Japes]]'s and Creepy Castle's.
 
During the boxing match between the [[Kong Family|Kongs]] and [[King K. Rool|K. Rool]], there are two Kritters that ring the bell to start the match. They both wear tuxedo versions of the regular Kritters' outfits. Whenever K. Rool is down for the count, they ring the bell before the count gets to 10 (they always ring it at 8) in humorous cutscenes. They ring the bell by pressing one of the red buttons on either side of the bell. After [[Tiny Kong|Tiny]] wins her round, they both slam down on each of their buttons at the same time, resulting in the bell breaking, which makes it impossible for them to save K. Rool from losing the match after [[Chunky Kong|Chunky]] beats him. There are more Kritters wearing their uniform, as shown when they are pulling the stage light off of K. Rool's head, but these two are the only notable ones. One of them seems to be the leader of the duo. The other is quite dim and silly. For example, when they are waving to the crowd, the dim one is waving the wrong way, and he fails to realize this until the other Kritter rings the bell.


===''DK: King of Swing''===
Kritters have an uncommon red variety that appear in the level [[Frantic Factory]] and the minigame [[Kremling Kosh]]. In Frantic Factory, [[Lanky Kong]] can earn a [[Golden Banana]] by memorizing the order that the red Kritters belch. In the Kremling Kosh minigame, there are numerous green and red Kritters who pop out of a barrel, flail their arms, and then quickly retreat into their barrel. Red Kritters are worth two points while regular Kritters are worth one point. Kritters also appear in three other mini-games: [[Mad Maze Maul]], [[Stash Snatch]] and [[Busy Barrel Barrage]].
Kritters also appear in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', where they are simply referred to as "Kremlings" and given a new appearance. Kremlings here can swing from pegs like [[Donkey Kong]] and sometimes attack by throwing things such as rocks and bombs. A Kremling is also playable in the game's Jungle Jam mode after unlocking six gold medals in said mode. Kremlings also appear in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. They have the same attacks from their previous appearance. The Kremling shares his stats with Donkey Kong, and his attack and jumping stats are balanced.


===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
During the boxing match between the Kongs and [[King K. Rool|K. Rool]], there are two Kritters who ring the bell to start the match. Both of them are wearing a tuxedo equivalent of the traditional outfit worn by Kritters; some other Kritters attempting to pull off a stadium light from K. Rool's head also wear this outfit. Whenever K. Rool is knocked down between rounds, the count to 10 starts. The Kritters always ring the bell once it reaches 8, by pressing a red button on either side of the bell. One of the Kritters has dim and silly behavior, for instance during one of the countdowns, it is waving the wrong way and only realizes this when the other Kritter rings the bell. After [[Tiny Kong|Tiny]] wins her round, both Kritters slam a button at the same time and accidentally break the bell. As a result, they cannot save K. Rool from losing the match after [[Chunky Kong|Chunky]] beats him.
A Kritter appears as a playable character in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' and has the same stats as [[Donkey Kong]], having balanced top speed, boost and agility. He has a similar appearance to the Kritters featured in ''DK: King of Swing'' and is a rival of Donkey Kong. His bongos are grey with a skull printed on the sides and with spiked bands on the top and bottom. He attacks by swinging his tail around him. He can be seen in the Single Race cutscene along with [[Klump]], [[Kalypso]] and [[Kass]], standing in front of their respective rivals, Donkey Kong, [[Lanky Kong]], [[Tiny Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. In the Jungle Grand Prix cutscene, he can be seen catching up to Donkey Kong during a race, before both of them get surprised when [[Diddy Kong]] passes them. If he places 3rd or 2nd after a cup is finished, he will sit down and look down, disappointed. If he places 1st, he will sit down and laugh.

====''DK: King of Swing''====
Kritters also appear in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', where they are simply referred to as "Kremlings" in the English version. Kremlings are able to climb, swing and attack from [[peg]]s like [[Donkey Kong]]. If there are nearby rocks and bombs, the Kremling tries throwing it at Donkey Kong. There is also an unlockable Kremling in the Jungle Jam mode, the first playable appearance of a Kritter, and it can be unlocked by obtaining six gold medals. Kremling has the same stats as Donkey Kong, and its attack and jumping stats are balanced.
 
Kritters appear in the levels [[Contraption Cave]], [[Puzzling Pyramid]], [[Treacherous Twister]], [[Kremling Kamp]], [[Ice Castle]], and [[K. Kruizer III Hull]].

In the [[Mario Strikers (series)|''Mario Strikers'' series]], Kritters act as the goalies in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. As such, they wear a goalie outfit. There is also a [[Robo-Kritter|robotic Kritter]] as the goalie of the [[Super Team]]. Kritters are immune to most attacks, and they knock any players on contact, but they can be stunned if they block a strong hit.
 
In ''Super Mario Strikers'', Kritters can deflect [[Super Strike]]s if it is improperly timed. If a player attempts a Super Strike near the Kritter, it jumps and kicks the player far. If the Kritter holds the ball, a player can control it by either passing or clearing the ball.


In ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'', Kritters are the game's goalies. There is also a [[Robo-Kritter|robotic Kritter]] as the goalie of the [[Super Team]]. Kritters are immune to most attacks, and they knock any players on contact, but they can be stunned if they block a strong hit. They can deflect [[Super Strike]]s if the Super Strike is bad. If a player attempts a Super Strike near the Kritter, the Kritter jumps and kicks the player far. If the Kritter holds the ball, a player automatically controls it, and it can either pass or clear the ball. Kritters reappear as goalies in the game's sequel, ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. Again, they are immune to attacks from both items and characters, but they are vulnerable to [[Skillshot]]s. The goalie is also immune to all [[Super Ability|Super Abilities]] except [[Fire Storm!]] and [[Crystal Smash!]]. The goalie can kick nearby players away if the players charge the ball too close to the goal or if they fail a Skillshot or trick. Finally, the player can take control of the Kritter to block [[Mega Strike]]s. The Kritters in ''Super Mario Strikers'' use their design from ''Donkey Kong 64'', while in ''Mario Strikers Charged'', they use their new design introduced in ''DK: King of Swing''. During the opening movie of ''Mario Strikers Charged'', a Kritter on [[Diddy Kong]]'s team during a match on [[Thunder Island]] successfully blocked a [[Fire Meteor]] shot from a [[Toad]] on [[Yoshi]]'s team, only to have his hands set on fire.
In ''Mario Strikers Charged'', Kritters are vulnerable to [[Skillshot]]s, as well as most [[Super Ability|Super Abilities]]; the exceptions include [[Fire Storm!]], regardless of condition, as well as [[Crystal Smash!]] and [[Thunder Wham!]] only if he has the ball in his hands. The goalie can kick nearby players away if the players charge the ball too close to the goal or if they fail a Skillshot or trick.

Kritters do not return as goalies in ''[[Mario Strikers: Battle League]]'', being replaced by [[Boom Boom]]s instead.

===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
A Kritter appears as a playable character in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. Kritter's stats include balanced top speed, boost and agility, which are shared with Donkey Kong, the direct rival of Kritter. Kritter's bongos are gray with a skull printed on the sides and spiked bands on the top and bottom. Kritter attacks other racers by swinging his tail around.
Kritter can be seen in the Single Race cutscene along with [[Klump]], [[Kalypso]] and [[Kass]], standing in front of their respective rivals, Donkey Kong, [[Lanky Kong]], [[Tiny Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. In the Jungle Grand Prix cutscene, he can be seen catching up to Donkey Kong during a race, before both of them get surprised when [[Diddy Kong]] passes them.
If Kritter gets in 3rd or 2nd place after completing a cup, he sits and looks down, disappointed. If he places 1st, he sits down and laughs.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Kritters are only represented as trophies and two [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|stickers]], which are presented [[Kritter#Official profiles and statistics|below]]. However, green and blue Kritters do make a more major appearance as enemies in the Smash Run mode, exclusively for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''. Green ones bite three times in a row, while blue ones spin around furiously with their claws. The first sticker of a Kritter is rather small and features their artwork from ''DK: King of Swing'' and it boosts launch resistance by 13, while the second sticker is very large and features their artwork from ''Mario Strikers Charged'' and it boosts the power of direct special moves by 28. Both stickers can be used by any character.  
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Kritters are only represented as [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]] and two [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros.

The first sticker, featuring artwork from ''DK: King of Swing'', boosts launch resistance by 13, while the second sticker, featuring artwork from ''Mario Strikers Charged'', boosts the power of direct special moves by 28. Both stickers can be used by any character.
 
Green and blue Kritters appear as enemies in the Smash Run mode of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''. Green ones bite three times in a row, while blue ones spin around furiously with their claws.


In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Kritter from ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'' appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|Spirit]].
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Kritter from ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'' appears as a Novice-class Grab-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] with one support slot. When used on a fighter, it only boosts their power without granting any special effect. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the spirit is found on the [[smashwiki:DK Island (World of Light)|DK Island]] sub-map of the Light Realm, occupying the spot where [[Ropey Rampage]] is located in ''Donkey Kong Country''. The spirit's puppet fighter is [[King K. Rool]], fought on the [[Kongo Jungle]] stage.

Kritters are power-oriented playable characters in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Green Kritter is the default color, although blue, red, and brown varieties can be used as well. All four Kritter colors have above average batting and fielding, along with below average running. However, the blue Kritter has a weaker batting stat to improve his pitching, while the red Kritter has weaker pitching to improve his batting. The brown Kritter is the fastest of the four Kritter colors, but like the red Kritter, his pitching is weaker than that of the default green Kritter. All Kritter colors bat with their left hand, while fielding with their right hand. The sweetspot is the spike on the center of the mace.
Kritters are power-oriented playable characters in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Green Kritter is the default color, although blue, red, and brown varieties can also be used, with the red and blue Kritters now having the same ''King of Swing'' design as the regular green ones while the brown Kritters make their first appearance since ''Donkey Kong Country''. All four Kritter colors have above average batting and fielding, along with below average running. However, the blue Kritter has a weaker batting stat to improve its pitching, while the red Kritter has weaker pitching to improve its batting. The brown Kritter is the fastest of the four Kritter colors, but like the red Kritter, its pitching is weaker than that of the default green Kritter. All Kritter colors bat with their left hand, while fielding with their right hand. The sweetspot is the spike on the center of the mace.
 
Kritters have a signature [[Keeper Catch]] ability that grants them more reach while fielding, which lets them catch balls more easily. When they bat, they use a short, but broad spiked mace. They have good chemistry with [[King K. Rool]], but incompatible chemistry with any of the [[Kong]]s, even though they are members of the [[DK Kongs|DK Wilds]]. Additionally, they along with their leader King K. Rool do not speak in animal noises in Challenge Mode unlike the Kongs.

====''Diddy Kong Pilot''====
[[File:Krunch Model - Diddy Kong Pilot 2001.png|thumb|Krunch model from the cancelled ''Diddy Kong Pilot'' (2001)]]
Two different canceled games named ''Diddy Kong Pilot'', [[Diddy Kong Pilot (2001)|one from 2001]] and [[Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|one from 2003]], would have included a Kritter with a leather jacket as a playable character. Although this character is simply called "Kritter" in the 2003 build, the model bears a strong resemblance to [[Krunch]] from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''; in the 2001 build, the internal name for the character when highlighted on the selection screen is Krunch's early name "[[Krash]]",<ref>[http://www.dkc-atlas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1329#p32980 DKC Atlas]. Posted January 16, 2013.</ref> while the {{media link|DKP 2001 Hud.png|internal HUD}} uses the name "Krunch".

In the 2003 build, Kritter was shown to speak in a {{wp|Southern American English}} accent. When it became ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Pilot|Banjo-Pilot]]'', Kritter was replaced with [[jiggywikki:Jolly Roger|Jolly Roger]], with the two characters sharing similar stats.

==Physical appearance==
==General information==
[[File:Kritter DKC.png|thumb|upright=0.9|The original design of a Kritter, with gold-plated shoulder pads.]]
===Physical appearance===
Kritters originally had gold shoulder pads, knee pads and a bluish-green skin tone, though various other color variations appeared too, such as purple and burgundy. In ''Donkey Kong 64'', they have a bright green skin tone, wore leather clothing and a belt with a skull-and-crossbones belt buckle on it and were also less muscular.
Kritters originally had gold shoulder pads, knee pads and a bluish-green skin tone, though various other color variations appeared too, such as purple and burgundy. In ''Donkey Kong 64'', they have a bright green skin tone and are slightly less muscular. Kritters wear a sleeveless leather jacket with a skull-and-crossbones on the back (similar to [[Krunch]] from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'') and a belt with a skull-and-crossbones buckle. This appearance is reused in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' and is similar to their ''Super Mario Strikers'' appearance.


As of ''Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast'' and ''Mario Super Sluggers'', Kritters are significantly more muscular, especially in their chest and arms, with a rounder snout and head. Their current design also consists of tattered tan pants and spiked wristbands, and having the same skull themed belt as in ''Donkey Kong 64''.
Starting with ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', Kritters received another redesign. They are significantly more muscular, especially in their chest and arms, and have a rounder snout and head. Their redesign also includes tattered tan pants and spiked wristbands. They still retain their skull belt from ''Donkey Kong 64''.

*'''Instruction booklet''' (page 28): ''This run-of-the-mill green Kremling is the most common type.''
*'''SNES Nintendo Player's Guide''' (page 12): ''Kritters come in several colors, but other than that, they basically look the same. You can take them out easily by jumping on their heads or rolling through them and bowling them over. Depending upon their color, they have different jumping abilities and patterns of movement. That's what makes them a little unpredictable. Another member of Kritter family, Krash, is the type that likes to hide out in mine carts.''
*'''GBA Nintendo Player's Guide''' (page 14): ''Kritters are the weakest of King K. Rool's Krocs-one jump on the head from Donkey or Diddy will do them in. Kritters come in a few different colors which relate to how the Kritters move and jump. Green Kritters, for example, walk in a straight line and don't jump, but blue Kritters hop along the ground in a straight line. Krashes are Kritters that hide out in mine carts and try to run Donkey and Diddy off the tracks in the mines.''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Kritter's goalie trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' says that they are the only goalies in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]''. This is not true, as the [[Super Team]] uses a [[Robo-Kritter]] as their goalie. In ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' however, they are the only available goalkeepers.

*The Kritters, Wario, and Waluigi are tied with having the lowest amount of good chemistry in ''Mario Super Sluggers'', with them having good chemistry with only Miis of their color and one other character (with that character in their case being King K. Rool).
