'''Kuchukas''' are [[Kremling]]s that hide in a purple [[barrel]]s filled with an unlimited supply of [[bomb]]s. They appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Their barrel design resembles that of [[Knocka]]s, [[Kracka]]s, and [[Klasp]]s, and similarly to them, only parts of Kuchukas are ever shown, including their purple arms and eyelids, which match the color of their barrel. Kuchukas have the same name in Japanese. The "chuck" in their name references how they continually throw bombs.

==History==
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Kuchukas only appear in one level: [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot Hole Panic]]. Kuchukas behave differently from Knockas as they remain stationary inside a barrel without moving and continuously attempt to throw [[bomb]]s at the [[Kong]]s and their [[Animal Friends]]. They cannot be picked up and can only be defeated by a [[TNT Barrel]]. A Kuchuka also appears in a [[Bonus Level]] of Pot Hole Panic, where it tries to prevent the Kongs and [[Squitter the Spider|Squitter]] from collecting the green bananas. A photograph of a Kuchuka appears in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], being classified as part of the [[Kremling Kreeps]].

Unused graphics suggest that, at one point, Kuchukas could be picked up and thrown.<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF contributors|title=[[tcrf:Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (SNES)#Kuchuka|Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (SNES)]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=March 12, 2024|language=English}}</ref>

===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Kuchukas appear in more levels than their previous appearance. A single Kuchuka appears at the very end of [[Stalagmite Frights]], and they appear in most levels of the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]]: a bonus stage in [[Whiplash Dash]], [[Kuchuka Karnage]], [[Haunted Hollows]], and [[Ghoulish Grotto]]. Unlike the previous game, Kuchukas cannot be defeated since there are no TNT Barrels. In {{wp|Western world|Western}} releases, Kuchukas appear identically to Knockas, due to the limited color display, but in ''Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong'', are a bright purple color.

==Profiles==
In the original [[Game Boy]] version, Kuchukas look the same as Knockas due to the monochromatic screen. In the Japanese [[Game Boy Color]] port, Kuchukas are distinctively colored purple.
