Knockas are green lanky members of the Kremling Krew in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. They hide in green painted Barrels with menacing faces on them. They reside in the Northern Kremisphere and replace Klobbers from the previous Donkey Kong Country game, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

History

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Knockas are fairly common enemies, encountered in many levels. Knockas attack the same way a green Klobber would; disguised as barrels, they wait to pop out at the player and then attempt to shove the Kongs in a certain direction. They function identically to a green Klobber, though they can be more easily distinguished from regular Barrels.

A Knocka can be defeated by simply jumping on it as this will knock it back into its Barrel and stun it. Once back in its Barrel, a Knocka can simply be picked up and thrown.

In the later levels of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, two Barrel-wearing sub-species of Knockas are encountered. Klasps are a red, explosive variant with their Barrels full of dynamite who clasp tightly on ropes. These will either swiftly climb back and forth on a rope in a set path, or attempt to chase down any Kong who is on or near their rope, exploding on contact. Kuchukas wear purple Barrels and are stationary, but hurl bombs in a set pattern.

In the Game Boy Advance version of the game there is a subspecies of Knocka called Krackas who were previously scrapped from the Super Nintendo Entertainment System version of the game. They appear only in a single level, Stormy Seas.

Donkey Kong Land III

In Donkey Kong Land III, Knockas, along with its two subspecies (excluding Krackas), remain semi-common enemies. There is no real difference between the Knockas of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III.
