'''Krunchas''' are light blue, muscular members of the [[Kremling Krew]] and common enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They are [[Krusha]]s that wear pirate gear,<ref>WinkySteve (December 17, 2017). https://twitter.com/WinkySteve/status/942523428606799874. ''Twitter''. Retrieved December 17, 2017.</ref> but despite this, Krunchas are noticeably different in appearance, being shorter and wider than Krushas. | |||

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 | 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. Krunchas can be defeated from either an [[Animal Friend]]; being hit by a [[crate]] or a [[barrel]]; being touched by an [[Invincible Mario|invincible]] Kong; or from a [[Team-up]] throw. However, red Krunchas are unaffected by Team-up throws, and if Diddy or Dixie is thrown at a red Kruncha, he or she is defeated. Krunchas have an uncommon, light pink variant only encountered in two levels: [[Castle Crush]] and [[Clapper's Cavern (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Clapper's Cavern]]. Pink Krunchas behave similarly to their regular counterparts, except they walk off of platforms and move even faster while angry. In the ending Cast of Characters, a Kruncha appears under the [[Kremling Kuthroats]] category. | ||
