They are encountered in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They are the direct successor of [[Klobber]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', though unlike Klobbers, the barrel worn by Knockas can easily be differentiated from a regular barrel. Knockas have two variants, [[Klasp]]s and [[Kuchuka]]s. The former climbs across a horizontal [[rope]] while hiding inside a [[TNT Barrel]] and the latter stays inside a purple barrel and throws bombs at [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, they have another variant: [[Kracka]], a ground variant of Klasp, which appears in a [[Pacifica]] level. | ||

In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Knockas are common enemies who appear in many levels. Like their predecessor, Klobber, a Knocka hides in its barrel; if [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] approaches the enemy, it attempts to knock into them. They cannot directly injure the [[Kong]]s, so Knockas try and hit them into another enemy or a pit. To defeat a Knocka, the Kongs must [[jump]] onto it, pick it up, and throw it. Unlike Klobbers from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Dixie and Kiddy do not lose any items if a Knocka hits them. Additionally, unlike Klobbers, they cannot be fully destroyed while hidden (via hitting it with a barrel or [[Squitter]]'s webs) unless they are picked up and tossed at an enemy or wall. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Knocka is categorized under the [[Kremling Kreeps]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Knockas use the same voice clips as Klobbers from the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|previous game]]. | |||

Knockas appear in the levels [[Tidal Trouble]], [[Krevice Kreepers]], [[Konveyor Rope Klash]], and [[Creepy Caverns]]. | |||

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Knockas, along with Klasps and Kuchukas, are still semi-common enemies. The game erroneously | In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Knockas, along with Klasps and Kuchukas, are still semi-common enemies. They retain their behavior from ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' The ending of the game erroneously titles Knockas as [[Krusha]]s. While a Knocka is being carried in the [[Game Boy Color]] version, it changes from green to red, because it uses the same exact sprite and palette as a regular carried barrel. When the Kong puts the Knocka back onto the ground, it changes back to green. | ||
