'''Knockas''' are green lanky [[Kremling]]s who hide in green [[barrel]]s with menacing faces painted on them. They are encountered in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They are the direct successor of [[Klobber]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', though unlike Klobbers, the barrel worn by Knockas can easily be differentiated from a regular barrel. Knockas have two variants, [[Klasp]]s and [[Kuchuka]]s. The former climbs across a horizontal [[rope]] while hiding inside a [[TNT Barrel]] and the latter stays inside a purple barrel and throws bombs at [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, they have another variant: [[Kracka]], a ground variant of Klasp, which appears in a [[Pacifica]] level.

According to the game's credits, Knockas belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.


==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!'', Knockas are common enemies who appear in many levels. Like their predecessor, Klobber, a Knocka hides in its barrel; if [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] approaches the enemy, it attempts to knock into them. They cannot directly injure the [[Kong]]s, so Knockas try and hit them into another enemy or a pit. To defeat a Knocka, the Kongs must [[jump]] onto it, pick it up, and throw it. Unlike Klobbers from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Dixie and Kiddy do not lose any items if a Knocka hits them. Additionally, unlike Klobbers, they cannot be fully destroyed while hidden (via hitting it with a barrel or [[Squitter]]'s webs) unless they are picked up and tossed at an enemy or wall. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Knocka is categorized under the [[Kremling Kreeps]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Knockas use the same voice clips as Klobbers from the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|previous game]].

In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Knockas are fairly common enemies, encountered in a large amount of levels. Knockas have an attack pattern similar to an earlier enemy named [[Klobber]]; a Knocka waits hidden in its barrel, and if either [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] pass by the foe it will spring forth out of its barrel and begin trying to ram the [[Kong]]s. Since a Knocka cannot directly hurt a Kong, they try to ram them into either another enemy or an abyss. A Knocka can be defeated by simply jumping on it, knocking it back into its barrel. Once back in its barrel, it can simply be picked up and thrown away.  


Knockas appear in the levels [[Tidal Trouble]], [[Krevice Kreepers]], [[Konveyor Rope Klash]], and [[Creepy Caverns]].
In later levels of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' two barrel wearing sub-species of Knockas, [[Klasp]]s and [[Kuchuka]]s are encountered. Also, in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', an explosive version of Knockas, [[Kracka]]s, are encountered in one level of the game.


===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Knockas, along with Klasps and Kuchukas, are still semi-common enemies. They retain their behavior from ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' The ending of the game erroneously titles Knockas as [[Krusha]]s. While a Knocka is being carried in the [[Game Boy Color]] version, it changes from green to red, because it uses the same exact sprite and palette as a regular carried barrel. When the Kong puts the Knocka back onto the ground, it changes back to green.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Knockas, along with Klasps and Kuchukas, are still semi-common enemies. The game erroneously lists Knockas as [[Krusha]]s, however, yet aside from the name, there is no real difference between the Knockas of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' and ''Donkey Kong Land III''.
