Unlike other Kremlings, Rock Krocs have rocky, brown skin and glowing, red eyes. Their tough skin protects them from any attack, so [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must avoid them. Rock Krocs have the ability to move back and forth rapidly, which causes the [[Kong]]s to have little to no room for escape. In the official German guide for the game, it is implied that the Rock Krocs are zombies.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/donkey-kong-country-snes-offizieller-nintendo-spieleberater/page/n41/mode/2up ''Donkey Kong Country'' German player's guide], page 44</ref> | |||

In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Rock Krocs only appear in one level, [[Stop & Go Station]], as the main hazard and level feature. | In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Rock Krocs only appear in one level, [[Stop & Go Station]], as the main hazard and level feature. Throughout the level, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must use [[Stop & Go Barrel]]s to control the movement of Rock Krocs. By default, the Rock Krocs move around due to the barrels reading "GO". When the Kongs jump at a Stop & Go Barrel, all the barrels briefly switch to "STOP". This causes every Rock Kroc to curl up like a boulder and stop moving, giving the Kongs a chance to safely pass them. After a few seconds, all of the Stop & Go Barrels change back to "GO", and the Rock Krocs get up and resume with their movement. A riskier alternative for Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong to harmlessly pass a Rock Kroc is to [[roll]] through them. | ||
In the Japanese version, the Kongs can defeat a Rock Kroc while is curled up, either with a [[barrel]] or by Donkey Kong performing a [[Hand Slap]]. Doing so causes the Rock Kroc to release either a [[banana]], Banana Bunch, or an [[Extra Life Balloon]]. | |||
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], like the original Japanese release, Rock Krocs can be defeated by Donkey Kong's Hand Slap. | In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], like the original Japanese release, Rock Krocs can be defeated by Donkey Kong's Hand Slap. The remake also features a [[photograph]] of Rock Kroc in Stop & Go Station, located before the [[K-O-N-G Letters|letter O]]; once collected, the photograph appears in page four of the [[scrapbook]]. | ||
