Kritter: Difference between revisions

'''Kritters''' are a common type of [[Kremling]]. Kritters are found in almost all games in the [[Donkey Kong (series)|''Donkey Kong'' series]]. Kritters are the most common type of Kremlings and are the foot soldiers of the [[Kremling Krew]], a role similar to that of the [[Koopa Troopa]]s from the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. Kritters come in a variety of colours.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Kritters are once again replaced, this time by a type of Kremling called [[Kobble]]s, who are surprisingly rare in the former game while extremely common in the latter. Jumping Kritters are also replaced with enemies called [[Re-Koil]]s, who were orange and bounced on their tails.

A blue Kritter attacked Diddy and Donkey Kong in a cave in the [[Club Nintendo]] comic "[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|Donkey Kong Country]]". He gets scared by Donkey's huge shadow, projected onto the wall by [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]]' torch. Donkey ultimately defeats him by throwing a Barrel at him. Like every character in the comic, the Kritter was able to speak.

In ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', a single Kritter named [[Krunch]] appears. At first Krunch is sent to [[Timber's Island]] to investigate why [[Diddy Kong]] went there and to figure if he and his friends are plotting some sort of anti-[[Kremling]] campaign, but eventually Krunch ends up aiding Diddy and his pals in their adventure to defeat the evil [[Wizpig]]. Interestingly in ''Donkey Kong 64'' all Kritters encountered wear the exact same skull-and-crossbones jacket as Krunch.

As mentioned above, Kritters appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' as semi-common enemies. In this game all Kritters wear leather jackets with a skull-and-crossbones emblem on it. Here Kritters attack the Kongs by punching and biting also several unnamed variants of Kritters such as, a [[Krobot|wind-up robotic Kritter]], [[Shroom Kritter|a Kritter in a mushroom costume]], and a [[Kritter-in-a-Sheet|Kritter using a bed-sheet to disguise itself as ghost]], appear in this game. The Kritters in this game appear skinnier and had less muscles. A few uncommon red Kritters appear in the level [[Frantic Factory]] and a minigame. These Kritters will pop out of barrels, flail their arms, then retreat very quickly back into their barrel.

In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', Kritters appear in [[DK Jungle Court]], watching the game. This marks their first game appearance outside of the ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' series.

Kritters (simply called '''Kremlings''' in the game) also appear in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', here they are given a new appearance. Kritters here can swing from pegs like [[Donkey Kong]] and will sometimes attack by throwing things such as rocks and bombs. Kritters are also playable in the games Jungle Jam Mode after unlocking six gold medal in said mode.

In ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'', Kritters are the game's goalies. The game also has a [[Robo-Kritter|robotic Kritter]] as the goalie of the [[Super Team]].

Kritter appears as a playable character in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' and has the same stats as [[Donkey Kong]]. He has a similar appearance to the ones featured in ''DK: King of Swing'' and is a rival of Donkey Kong.

Four different colored Kritters, along with [[King K. Rool]], are playable in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. All four Kritters have good fielding abilities, but they are pretty slow with their running abilities. Each Kritter has good chemistry with King K. Rool, but their chemistry with the [[Kong]]s is quite bad, even though they're members of the [[DK Kongs|DK Wilds]].
