Krusha is one of the main characters and antagonists on the Donkey Kong Country TV series. On the show Krusha is apparently King K. Rool's bodyguard and a high-ranking member of the Kremling Krew. Despite these high positions and responsibilities, Krusha is fairly dimwitted, having a hard time grasping simple concepts and becoming easily distracted. Krusha likes watching "The Sing Along with Uncle Swampy Show", a show meant for young children.

Krusha is also apparently best friends with K. Rool's second-in-command, General Klump, and is often used as the muscle in Klump's schemes. Despite being well-meaning, Krusha's attempts to aid the Kremling Krew often end up in disaster, causing more damage than good.

In the episode "Speed", Krusha is run over with a minecart, causing him to become highly intelligent. He then devises a diabolical plot to kill the Kongs and then claim the Crystal Coconut for himself, managing to force even K. Rool into submission. Krusha is quite evil in this newfound state of mind, considering K. Rool not ruthless enough in his schemes. Despite K. Rool giving in to Krusha and letting him lead, Krusha considers him disposable, only intending to save him upon Klump's request. However, by the end of the episode, Krusha gets run over again, once again becoming the dimwitted henchman he always was, and fortunately, everyone survives.

During the first season of the show, Krusha was voiced by Ron Rubin. In the second season, he is voiced by Frank Welker.

Trivia

  • Besides the aforementioned "Speed", "Bad Hair Day" is the only episode where Krusha does not seem dimwitted.
  • Krusha also has been shown to be able to perfectly imitate the voices of others including: King K Rool and Donkey Kong as shown in the episode "Kong for a Day".
  • It is possible that Krusha's dislodged brain, as seen in "Get a Life, Don't Save One," may have been as a result of Donkey Kong's successful defeat of Krusha in "Bad Hair Day".
