Knockas areenemies introduced inDonkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. These green lankyKremlings hide in greenbarrels with menacing faces painted on them. They are the successor ofKlobbers fromDonkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, but Knockas are different mainly from the fact that they wear a barrel with a noticeably different appearance from regular barrels. Knockas have two variants,Klasps andKuchukas; the former climbs across a horizontalrope while hiding inside aTNT Barrel, while the latter stays inside a purple barrel and throws bombs atDixie Kong andKiddy Kong.
History[edit]
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble![edit]
Knockas are enemies inDonkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. They hide in their barrel at first, dormant, until being approached byDixie Kong orKiddy Kong, then the Knocka begins to run after them. Knockas cannot damage the player characters directly and opt for trying to push them into another enemy or a pit instead. They speed up as the game progresses. A Knocka can be defeated if theKongjumps onto it, picks up the Knocka, and throws it at a surface. InDixie Kong's Photo Album, a Knocka is categorized under theKremling Kreeps.
The remake also introducesKrackas, a variant of Klasp behaving like Knockas. In said remake, Knockas' run speeds are consistent, unlike before.
Donkey Kong Land III[edit]
Knockas, namedKrushas in the ending, appear with the same role inDonkey Kong Land III. In the JapaneseGame Boy Color release, a Krusha changes from green to red only while being carried, using the exact sprite and palette as a barrel when carried.
Donkey Kong Bananza[edit]
Knocka is mentioned in the fake credits sequence in the middle ofKing K. Rool's boss fight inDonkey Kong Bananza, where they are credited for "NETWORK KODING".
