| | A '''Krash''' is a mine-cart driving [[Kritter]]. Krashs can be a real hassle, as they have no concern for their own safety. Krashs will attempt to run Donkey and Diddy off a mine cart track, time your jumps accurately so that they clear him and he ends up plowing onward to his own inevitable doom. |

| '''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. | |

|
| == History ==
| | In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' an enemy similar to Krash, called [[Klank]] appears. The only major difference between a Krash and a Klank is that Klanks, instead of trying to ram the kongs throw barrels at them. |

| |
| 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.
| | Oddly, despite ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 3]]'' having several kart-riding levels no equivalent of Krash appeared. |
|
| |
|
| In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]], Krashes were changed to have a light purple skin.
| | Krashs also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' in the game's mine cart tracks. The Krashs in this game are much more muscular and now weild a club, which they try to smack a kong with, if they do that kong will lose coins. These Krashs can be defeated by causing them to smash into something such as a pile of rocks. Usually a kong will have to pull a lever to drop something in a Krash's path. |

| [[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.
| | * Interestingly the ''Donkey Kong 64'' version of Krash is extremely similar in appearance to [[Klubba]], a "sort-of" ally of the Kongs from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Like Klubba, Krash is large, muscular, has a small head in proportion to the rest of it's body and weilds a large spiked club. These similarities led some to believe that Krash was Klubba. |

| | * Though Krashs 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. |

| *Though Krashes never directly appeared on the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]], some episodes have Kritters riding around on minecarts, effectively making a Krash in a sense.
| |
| **In some courses of ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', Kritter can hop into a minecart, making him act like Krash.
| |
| *The name for [[Krunch]] from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' was originally intended to be Krash; it was most likely changed to differentiate him from the already existing Krash enemies.
