[[File:DK64 Diddy Mine Cart Race.png|thumb|right|The ''Donkey Kong 64'' version of a '''Krash'''.]]
A '''Krash''' is a [[minecart]]-driving [[Kremling]] species which debuted in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Krashes are identical in appearance to [[Kritter]]s, but the context they are found in alters their behavior and, eventually, attack pattern.

In their debut game, Krashes are first found within [[Mine Cart Carnage]], the second level of [[Monkey Mines]]. Here, they attempt to run into [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and [[Diddy Kong]], knocking them off the minecart track they are traveling on if doing so. Krashes cannot be defeated in any way, despite being Kritters with uncovered top sides. If the [[Kong]]s attempt to stomp on a Krash while riding their minecart, the primates will be damaged without affecting the enemy in any way.

The situation changes in a later level, [[Mine Cart Madness]], the fifth stage of [[Kremkroc Industries, Inc.]], where Krashes simply stay put underanged on the tracks. As the Kongs are required to navigate through most of the level in [[minecart]]s, they have to stomp on Krashes with their bare feet just as on Kritters. This action results in the enemies getting ploughed off their vehicles, leaving them open to getting stolen and taken full control of by the primates.

Krashes do not return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', and [[Klank]]s partly take their role in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Unlike Krashes, Klanks never ram into the Kongs, aside from a certain [[Rickety Race (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)#Bonus Level|Bonus Level in Rickety Race]]; instead, they follow the same direction as the Kongs and hurl [[barrel]]s behind. Whereas Krashes could not be stomped on while riding a vehicle, Klanks can be only taken out so.

Krashes are back in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' in the game's [[Mine Cart Race|minecart adventures]]. The Krashes of this game are much more muscular, with each of them wielding a club they try to smack the [[Kong]]s with. This renewed appearance distinguishes Krashes from [[Kritter]]s, as there was no visual difference between the two species in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. If they succeed in damaging the Kongs, the latter will lose three coins from the ones collected in the course of their minecart rides. These Krashes can be defeated if the primate heroes cause them to run into a solid formation, such as a pile of rocks. Usually, the Kongs have to encounter and rapidly pull a lever in order to drop such formation onto a Krash's path.

==Trivia==
*The ''Donkey Kong 64'' version of Krash is extremely similar in appearance to [[Klubba]], a pseudo-ally of the Kongs from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Like Klubba, Krash is large, muscular, green, has a small head in proportion to the rest of its body, and wields a large spiked club as well.
*The Krashes in ''Donkey Kong 64'' also strangely resemble the current design of a Kritter, even though the Kritters were not redesigned until ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', 6 years later.
*Though Krashes never directly appeared on the [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]], some episodes had Kritters riding around on minecarts, effectively making a Krash in a sense. 
**Similarly, in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', when Kritter hops into a minecart, he resembles a Krash.

-'''Krashes''' (also known as '''Cart Kritters'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' GBA Player's Guide. Page 92</ref>) are [[Kritter]]s who ride in [[Mine Cart]]s uncontrollably. They appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. In the former game, Krashes have an identical appearance to green Kritters, or purple in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]]. In ''Donkey Kong 64'', Krashes were given a distinct, muscular appearance and wield a club. Though they do not appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Krashes have a similar counterpart named [[Klank]]s, which ride in [[Roller Coaster]]s.

-[[File:MineCartCarnage-SNES-3.png|thumb|left|Diddy jumping over a Krash in Mine Cart Carnage]]
-In their debut appearance in ''Donkey Kong Country'', Krashes appear in both Mine Cart levels, [[Mine Cart Carnage]] and [[Mine Cart Madness]]. In their first level appearance, Krashes ride a Mine Cart in the opposite direction of [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], and if they ram into the [[Kong]]s, the lead one falls out of the Mine Cart. Although Krashes look just as vulnerable as Kritters, the Kongs cannot jump on a Krash while riding on a Mine Cart, as this injures them while leaving the Krash unaffected; the Kongs must jump over the Krash instead.
-Krashes make their second and final appearance in Mine Cart Madness. Here, they sit idly at the start of a track railing. Unlike in Mine Cart Carnage, the Kongs can safely jump on a Krash to hijack its Mine Cart, and resume riding on the tracks.

-In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]], Krashes were changed to have a light purple skin.

-[[File:DK64 Diddy Mine Cart Race.png|thumb|A Krash in ''Donkey Kong 64'']]
-In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', {{conjectural|Krashes}} appear in the [[Mine Cart Ride]]s where they ride on a track adjacent to the Kongs. Krashes were redesigned to have a muscular appearance and wield a club, both of which further distinguish them from Kritters. The Kongs can jump over the club to avoid taking damage. If the Kongs are hit, they lose three [[DK Coin]]s.
-Krashes are defeated if they crash into a pile of rocks or fall into a pit. The active Kong usually has to pull a lever to defeat Krash either way.
