Krushers make their first appearance in the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They debut in the level "[[Millstone Mayhem]]", at the very start of the level. Krusha were rare enemies usually in a blue color that march in place. When Krushas walk, they make a loud stomping noise, showing their strength. [[Diddy Kong]], as portrayed in the GBA remake's intro, cannot damage Krusha alone at all; his cartwheels and jumps will be laughed off; only [[Donkey Kong]] could defeat him by jumping on his head without the aid of a barrel. When DK uses his hand slap on a Krusha, he will laugh it off, though DK will still get a free banana.

When DK uses his hand slap on a Krusha, he will laugh it off, though DK will still get a free banana. However, Donkey Kong cannot beat him with a roll.
An alternate, rare gray-colored Krusha appears in two levels of the [[Monkey Mines]], "[[Necky Nutmare]]" (GBC only) and "[[Platform Perils]]. This type of Krusha is completely invincible to Donkey Kong's jumps and the only method to defeat his is with a nearby barrel. In the level, the [[Vine Barrel]] is the crucial weapon used.

Krusha appear as '''Kruncha''' in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' as pirate. Neither [[Diddy]] nor [[Dixie]] Kong can jump on his head alone to defeat them due to their lack of strength; in fact, upon doing so will make the Krusha growl with a arm-muscle gesture and glow red, causing them to walk much faster for a brief period of time. The main way to defeat them is via an item throw and/or the new "team-up" ability.

Krusha was replaced with [[Kruncha]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Kruncha are pirate-themed, somewhat cartoonish versions of Krusha. Neither [[Diddy]] nor [[Dixie]] Kong can jump on his head alone to defeat them due to their lack of strength; in fact, upon doing so will make the Kruncha glow red and walk much faster.

{{main|Krumple}}
 
[[Krumple]] are the generation of Krusha in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Krumple are notably less threatening in appear given their chubbier appearance and the fact that they are at their weakest in these games. They more closely resemble their ''DKC'' incarnation with the fact that [[Kiddy]] has the strength to defeat a Krumple by simply jumping on it, and Kiddy can even roll into it to defeat it, along with the other item-based and team-up based methods to defeat it.

Krusha is one of the main characters and antagonists on the Donkey Kong Country animated series. On the show Krusha was apparently [[King K. Rool]]'s bodyguard and a high-ranking member of the Kremling Krew. Despite these high positions and responsibilities, Krusha is fairly dimwitted, having a hard time grasping simple concepts and becoming easily distracted. Interestingly, Krusha likes watching "The Sing Along with Uncle Swampy Show", a show meant for young children.

Krusha is also apparently best friends with K. Rool's second-in-command, [[Klump|General Klump]] and is often times used as the muscle in Klump's schemes. Despite being well-meaning, Krusha's attempts to aid the Kremling Krew often end-up in disaster, causing more damage than good.

In the episode "Speed", Krusha was run over with a minecart, causing him to become highly intelligent. He then devised a diabolical plot to kill the Kongs and then claim the Crystal Coconut for himself, managing to even force K. Rool into submission. Krusha is quite evil in this newfound state of mind, considering K. Rool not ruthless enough in his schemes. Despite K. Rool giving in to Krusha and letting him lead, Krusha considers him disposable, only intending to save him upon Klump's request. However, by the end of the episode, Krusha gets run over again, once again becoming the dimwitted henchman he always was, and fortunately, everyone survives.

Krusha make their first appearance in the original Donkey Kong Country where they first helped in stealing from the Banana Hoard defeating Diddy Kong. They debut in the level "Millstone Mayhem", at the very start of the level.

Krusha were rare enemies usually in a blue color that march in place. When Krusha walk, they make a loud stomping noise, showing their strength. Diddy Kong cannot damage a Krusha alone at all; his cartwheels and jumps will be laughed off as he rebounds; only Donkey Kong could defeat him by jumping on his head without the aid of a barrel. When DK uses his hand slap on a Krusha, he will laugh it off, though DK will still get a free banana. However, Donkey Kong cannot beat him with a roll.

An alternate, rare gray-colored Krusha appears in two levels of Chimp Caverns via "Necky Nutmare" (GBC only) and "Platform Perils. This type of Krusha is completely invincible even to Donkey Kong's jumps and the only method to defeat him is with throwing barrels, making the levels the Krusha appears in very difficult. In the level, the Vine Barrel is the crucial weapon used.

The main way to defeat them is via an item throw and/or the new "team-up" ability.
