	Games - Krusha

Krushas are enemies in the Donkey Kong Country series. They are part of the Kremlings, a species of anthromorphic alligators/crocodiles led by King K. Rool.

Krusha first appeared in Donkey Kong Country. Krusha slowly walks from left to right, laughing at anyone who makes a futile attempt to take him down. Donkey Kong is the only ape strong enough to defeat the blue Krusha. The silver ones are immune to everything except a barrel. They are found in the last stage in the game, and are stationed on colapsing platforms, with only a single barrel to defeat them. If you miss, you have no choice but to restart the stage. Krusha returned in Donkey Kong Land, but with no tougher form.

In Donkey Kong Country 2, Krusha was replaced by Kruncha, a Kremling with a lighter shade of blue for skin, and a pirate's bandana. If Kruncha is struck by a weak attack, he'll get mad and turn red. While mad, he'll move faster, and can damage anyone that touches him. There are two colors, blue and pink; the latter appears in two stages (Castle Crush and Clapper's Cavern), but doesn't appear to differ from it's blue version. It's unclear whether or not Kruncha is actually Krusha in pirate fatigues, or a completly different enemy.

Donkey Kong Country 3 and Donkey Kong Land III featured the seldom-seen Krumple, an enemy similar to Krusha, minus a tougher form. He is often found in a waterfall stage and is more common in Land III.
There was a completely different enemy in Donkey Kong Land III named Krusha; he was exactly like Knocka from Donkey Kong Country 3 and would hide in a barrel, waiting for a Kong to appear so he or she would be shoved. Some players assume that the name was simply a mistake made by Nintendo.

In Donkey Kong 64, Krusha returned, this time as a hidden character for multiplayer mode. His weapon of choice is an Orange Grenade Launcher and he fights similar to Chunky Kong.

The game also featured an enemy called Kasplat, who looks similar to Krusha. Each of the 8 worlds (except the last stage) has five Kasplats, each with a hair color that matches the kong's color (D.K. - Yellow, Diddy - Red, Lanky - Blue, Tiny - Purple, Chunky - Green). When defeated, he drops one of Snide's Blast-o-Matic blueprints, which has two purposes:

each one gives the Kong a Golden Banana
each one increases the amount of time you have to deactivate the machine inHideout Helm

Kasplat continues to reappear afterwards, but his hair color changes to white. Kaspalt is also common in Battle Arenas. It should be noted that Krusha is not Kasplat; this was a mistake made in Prima's Donkey Kong 64 Strategy guide.

Krusha has not yet appeared in any of the newer Donkey Kong games (excluding the Donkey Kong Country remakes).

Other media

Krusha was also featured on the Donkey Kong Country TV series, as K. Rool's Bodyguard. He had the IQ of a young child and enjoys watching The Sing Along with Uncle Swampy Show.
