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 ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Knockas are common enemies who appear in many levels.

Knockas are green lanky Kremlings who hide in green barrels 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 Klobbers 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, Klasps and Kuchukas. 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.
History[edit]
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble![edit]
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 Kongs, 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 Game Boy Advance version, Knockas use the same voice clips as Klobbers from the previous game.
Knockas appear in the levels Tidal Trouble, Krevice Kreepers, Konveyor Rope Klash, and Creepy Caverns.
Donkey Kong Land III[edit]
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 Krushas. 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.
