Kludge is a playable racer inDonkey Kong Barrel Blast. He is a large, blue, and muscularKremling with an "X" across his stomach, three white stripes on both arms, chains around his wrists, red eyes, and yellow shorts with a skull belt. His bongos are chained, are spiked on the top and bottom, and have a blue "X" on the sides. Kludge is the rival ofFunky Kong. Kludge appears in two cutscenes: In theCranky's Flight School cutscene, Kludge is seen training alongDiddy Kong,Tiny Kong, andKip, while in the Records cutscene, he is seen looking at a scoreboard with Tiny Kong,Funky Kong,Dixie Kong, and Kip. Kludge is an unlockable character, and the player can unlock him by completing theDiamond Cup as a Kremling. Kludge has low boost and agility, which is compensated for his top speed.
Kludge has atrophy inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. In European versions of the game, Kludge's trophy reveals some of his characteristics. When Kludge is angry, he is rumored to cause trouble even forKing K. Rool. He is described as simpleminded and has a hobby for eating. Due to his childlike manner, Kludge has become friends withKip andKass. The trophy for Kludge was completely rewritten for the NTSC release, focusing on the character's performance inDonkey Kong: Barrel Blast rather than details about the character himself, like in the PAL, Korean, and Japanese releases.

| A member of the Kremling Krew making his first appearance in Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast. His less-than-average acceleration and weak cornering are offset by an impressive top speed. Kludge's relation to the physically fit blueKrunchas andKrumples of the Kremling forces is still unknown.(American English) | ||
| A massive, monstrous Kremling who, once riled up, is rumored to even giveKing K. Rool trouble. His child-like manner has made him firm friends withKip andKass. Unfortunately, Kludge is pretty simpleminded--thinking about too much at once tends to overheat his brain. His hobby is devouring anything and everything at the dinner table.(British English) | ||
