Krumples are enemies introduced in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. These large, blue, and muscular Kremlings both resemble and behave like Krushas and Krunchas from Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest respectively. A Krumple appears on the box art of both games that it appears in.

HistoryEdit

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!Edit

Krumples are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. Like most enemies, Krumples attack Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong by simply moving into them. A Krumple can be defeated by a barrel, a team up throw, being jumped on by Kiddy, having Ellie spray water droplets at them in Tracker Barrel Trek, and from Squitter's web projectiles in Creepy Caverns. Krumples are unaffected by Kiddy's roll, unless he performs it from high enough, or any of Dixie's attacks, and he will respond back by taunting the Kongs. In Dixie Kong's Photo Album, a Krumple photograph appears under the Kremling Kreeps category. In the remake, the sound effects of Krumples are reused from Krunchas in the Donkey Kong Country 2 remake.

Donkey Kong Land IIIEdit

Krumples are enemies in Donkey Kong Land III. They act the same as before, but appear in several more levels.

TriviaEdit

  • Instead of making the defeated enemy sound, Krumples make an actual roar when knocked out. This roar is a slowed down version of the same sound effect used for Baron K. Roolenstein and Kuff 'n' Klout, and this very roar is based on an actual alligator's bellow.
  • Krumple is mentioned in Kludge's Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy, but only in American English versions.
