'''Kludge''' is a playable racer in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. He is a large, blue, and muscular [[Kremling]] with an "X" across his stomach, three white stripes on both arms, chains around his wrists, red eyes, and yellow shorts with a skull belt. His bongos are chained, are spiked on the top and bottom, and have a blue "X" on the sides. Kludge is the rival of [[Funky Kong]]. Kludge appears in two cutscenes: In the [[Cranky's Flight School]] cutscene, Kludge is seen training along [[Diddy Kong]], [[Tiny Kong]], and [[Kip]], while in the Records cutscene, he is seen looking at a scoreboard with Tiny Kong, [[Funky Kong]], [[Dixie Kong]], and Kip. Kludge is an unlockable character, and the player can unlock him by completing the [[Diamond Cup]] as a Kremling. Kludge has low boost and agility, which is compensated for his top speed.

Kludge has a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. In European versions of the game, Kludge's trophy reveals some of his characteristics. When Kludge is angry, he is rumored to cause trouble even for [[King K. Rool]]. He is described as simpleminded and has a hobby for eating. Due to his childlike manner, Kludge has become friends with [[Kip]] and [[Kass]]. The trophy for Kludge was completely rewritten for the NTSC release, focusing on the character's performance in ''Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast'' rather than details about the character himself, like in the PAL, Korean, and Japanese releases.

|desc=A member of the Kremling Krew making his first appearance in Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast. His less-than-average acceleration and weak cornering are offset by an impressive top speed. Kludge's relation to the physically fit blue [[Kruncha]]s and [[Krumple]]s of the Kremling forces is still unknown.
|desc2=A massive, monstrous Kremling who, once riled up, is rumored to even give [[King K. Rool]] trouble. His child-like manner has made him firm friends with [[Kip]] and [[Kass]]. Unfortunately, Kludge is pretty simpleminded--thinking about too much at once tends to overheat his brain. His hobby is devouring anything and everything at the dinner table.
