| | '''Kuchukas''' are members of the [[Kremling Krew]] encountered in the games ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Kuchukas resemble [[Knocka]]s and [[Klasp]]s, but have purple arms. They also reside inside of purple barrels filled with bombs, as opposed to green or red ones. Also, unlike Knockas who charge into the Kongs, Kuchukas remain stationary in their barrel and will occasionally hurl bombs outward. Kuchukas cannot be defeated in any way and can only be avoided making them the only type of barrel that cannot be picked up. |

| '''Kuchukas''' are [[Kremling]]s that hide in a purple [[barrel]]s filled with an unlimited supply of [[bomb]]s. They appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Their barrel design resembles that of [[Knocka]]s, [[Kracka]]s, and [[Klasp]]s, and similarly to them, only parts of Kuchukas are ever shown, including their purple arms and eyelids, which match the color of their barrel. Kuchukas have the same name in Japanese. The "chuck" in their name references how they continually throw bombs. | |

| ==History==

| |
| In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Kuchukas only appear in one level: [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot Hole Panic]]. Kuchukas behave differently from Knockas as they remain stationary inside a barrel without moving and continuously attempt to throw [[bomb]]s at the [[Kong]]s and their [[Animal Friends]]. They cannot be picked up and can only be defeated by a [[TNT Barrel]]. A Kuchuka also appears in a [[Bonus Level]] of Pot Hole Panic, where it tries to prevent the Kongs and [[Squitter the Spider|Squitter]] from collecting the green bananas. A photograph of a Kuchuka appears in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], being classified as part of the [[Kremling Kreeps]].

| | In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Kuchukas are found in more than one level, but they only appear late in the game. A single Kuchuka is found at the very end of [[Stalagmite Frights]]. They appear again in the following levels of the [[Lost World]]: [[Whiplash Dash]] (only in a bonus stage, though), [[Kuchuka Karnage]], [[Haunted Hollows]], and [[Ghoulish Grotto]]. In the monochrome version, since it looks identical to Knockas, it can be confused for one initially. |

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

| | == Names in Other Languages == |
| In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Kuchukas appear in more levels than their previous appearance. A single Kuchuka appears at the very end of [[Stalagmite Frights]], and they appear in most levels of the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]]: a bonus stage in [[Whiplash Dash]], [[Kuchuka Karnage]], [[Haunted Hollows]], and [[Ghoulish Grotto]]. Unlike the previous game, Kuchukas cannot be defeated since there are no TNT Barrels. In {{wp|Western world|Western}} releases, Kuchukas appear identically to Knockas, due to the limited color display, but in ''Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong'', are a bright purple color.
