In their debut appearance, ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Krunchas slowly move back and forth while swinging their heavily-muscled arms, defeating a Kong if they come in contact with them. Krunchas can be defeated by [[Team-up]] throws, [[Animal Friend]]s, strikes from a [[crate]] or a [[barrel]], and contact with an [[Invincible Mario|invincible]] Kong. Attempting to attack a Kruncha in any other way causes it to turn bright red as it roars in anger. In their enraged state, they walk around faster, and attempting to attack it with a Team-up throw will only result in the defeat of the thrown Kong. After a while, an angry Kruncha reverts to its calm, default state. | In their debut appearance, ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Krunchas slowly move back and forth while swinging their heavily-muscled arms, defeating a Kong if they come in contact with them.
