Kritters are a type of Kremling and the main foot soldiers of the Kremling Krew, led by King K. Rool. Kritters come in a variety of colors, but are most commonly colored green or blue. As a basic representative, Kritters are named Kremling in some of their game appearances. Kritters first appear in Donkey Kong Country, and they sometimes appear in spinoff games of the Super Mario franchise.
Kritters have had substitutes in later Donkey Kong Country games. In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2, enemies known as Klomps are Kritters[1] that wear tattered red and white shorts, with each sporting a peg leg. Likewise, a distinct Kremling variety formed by Kaboings, which have two peg legs, replace Donkey Kong Country's jumping Kritters. Compared to the Kritters of the previous game, these varieties have a more upright posture, presumably due to their peg legs. In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III, Kritters were replaced by a different type of Kremling, Kobbles, while jumping Kritters are replaced by Re-Koils.
