===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''=== | |||
[[File:GangplankGalleySNES.png|thumb|left|The Kongs encounter three Krunchas in Gangplank Galley, the first level to feature Krunchas]] | |||
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, 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. | |||
Krunchas | 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 if they are angered, the pink Krunchas move around at a faster speed, and they walk off the edge of the platforms. | ||
[[ | In the Game Boy Advance version, the Kongs can also defeat a Kruncha by jumping on it while using their Team-up ability. A [[photograph]] of Kruncha can be obtained in [[Red-Hot Ride]], and it appears under the second page of the [[scrapbook]]. | ||
In the ending Cast of Characters, a Kruncha appears under the [[Kremling Kuthroats]] category. | |||
