Krusha: Difference between revisions

In ''Donkey Kong Country'' Krushas are uncommon enemies who appear during the later levels.

 

Krushas have an even more uncommon gray variant, which wears orange wristbands, a purple camouflage suit, and has orange head spikes. Gray Krushas are stronger than regular ones, as they'll laugh off even Donkey Kong's jump attack, and won't leave behind any bananas when Hand Slapped. Gray Krushas can only be defeated with a barrel. They make their only appearance in [[Platform Perils]], the last level of [[Chimp Caverns]], and the last regular level of ''Donkey Kong Country''. Here, the Kongs must crucially use barrels on the gray Krushas in order to knock them off the arrow platforms.

An individual Krusha (referred to as "the strongest commander") appears as the final antagonist of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (novel)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' novelization. After the [[Kongs]] board the [[Gangplank Galleon]] and defeat most of [[King K. Rool]]'s commanders, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] attempt to attack Krusha, but the reptile shrugs off their assault and punches them both. The Kongs then propel themselves using coiled ropes found at opposites of the ship, knocking Krusha unconscious.

In the German ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo's]]'' [[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|comic adaptation of ''Donkey Kong Country'']], a Krusha makes a small cameo appearance, on the background of King K. Rool's [[Gangplank Galleon]].

Krushas are one of the three Kremlings who appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', along with [[Kritter]]s and [[Klaptrap]]s. They act the same as the blue Krushas from ''Donkey Kong Country'', and no gray Krusha equivalent appears in the game. Krushas are featured in more levels than in ''Donkey Kong Country''.

 

In the novel ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Rumble in the Jungle]]'', [[Donkey Kong]] encounters an individual Krusha on the eighth floor of the [[Kremling]]'s factory, within [[Big Ape City]]. Holding Donkey Kong in a bear hug, Krusha says that he will bring him straight to [[King K. Rool]], the leader of the Kremlings. Krusha is described as "the biggest and strongest of all the Kremlings", although not the "brightest". And Donkey Kong tricks Krusha into thinking that in his backpack, he has a list of the locations of all the [[Kong]]s on [[Donkey Kong Island]]. Krusha, who desires to make his boss happy by kidnapping all of the Kongs, loosens his grip on Donkey Kong to allow him to reach into his backpack. However, Donkey Kong pulls out a [[barrel]] instead, tossing it at Krusha which causes him to stumble and lose his balance. Donkey Kong then uses a [[Roll Attack|barrel roll]] and [[Double Jump|double jump]] to knock Krusha "out cold". He then continues his journey to the factory's defense-system.

**The majority of Kremlings in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|Donkey Kong Country 3]]'' also share Krusha's defeat voice clip, but the clip is often set to a higher pitch level.
