Kackle

Kackles are undead Kremlings who appear in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. They only appear in the level "Haunted Hall". Kackle could be related to Resident Demon, a skeletal Kremling in Donkey Kong 64.

Since Haunted Hall does not reprise in Donkey Kong Land 2, Kackles do not either.

Summary
Kackles wear either a red, blue, yellow, or green bandanna (only blue bandannas in the Game Boy Advance version), a patch on an eye, and have scimitars, which they never use. When Diddy and Dixie enter a gate in Haunted Hall, Kackle pursues them. A timer then appears at the top-center of the screen. When the timer reaches zero, Kackle becomes visible and attacks the lead monkey, followed by the partner. The timer and Kackle only stop if Diddy and Dixie exit a gate. Hitting a Plus Barrel or a Minus Barrel affect how long Kackles remain intangible.

There are a total of four areas in the level, each one starting and ending with a gate. There are two gates before the Continue Barrel and two after it.
