-Goombas don't have arms. Goombas can't operate heavy machinery. Therefore Kremlings > Goombas.

But Goombas are in Mario games, therefore they are way better. Rare sucks, they raped the DK series.

Oh, not that tired rhetoric again. Can't anyone nowadays form an opinion without consulting game magazines and using ridiculous, irrelevant language? Jeez.

Can't you guys use the signature thing? That would be helpful. EDIT: I just checked the history thingy, the guy who was writing the "Goombas r teh r00lz0rz' was actually that 'Bowser87' dude from the forums. So yeah, hooray for trolling. --The Cube 05:09, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

How did you find that out?

There's a history button right next to "edit this page." You can see all edits (as far as I know.) and who did them. Pretty neat, eh? --The Cube 03:17, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Heh heh, never thought I'd make you people waste so much time on this. Haha. And it was intentional. All I said above was crap of course.

[edit] Kremlings in Jungle Beat

What was the "passing reference" to the Kremlings in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat that the article mentions? I seem to have missed something here. Agent CH 20:09:13, 2005-08-12 (UTC)

I've looked, but I can't find a reference. Was it only in the Japanese version? RobbieG 11:41, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge Klaptrap?

This has got nothing to do with Goombas or who sucks what or whatever, but there's a little article on Klaptraps that's completely pointless. It's not that it's bad, but it's been a stub, like, FOREVER, and if you check the discussion page for that article, nobody EVER reads stuff on there, so clearly nobody's interested enough in Klaptraps for them to merit their own article (except me. Sob). I don't know how you nominate stuff to be merged, but how about merging the article onto the Kremlings page? I think it would make a lot more sense to do it that way. 7:58 26 February 2006

Klaptraps are SO CUTE! And I love the little yelp they give after being hit, but part of me is mad about it as well... why does nintendo have to make all their enemies so adorable?

Do it. The concept art I added to the article should stay, right?

Oh, no! Now I've seen the new-and-improved Klaptraps article, and since nobody'd voted here for months, I changed my mind! If people are still interested in merging, how about we vote here? I vote we keep Klaptraps as a separate article - when I suggested the merge, that page was a stagnant waste of space, but now it's started growing. Oh, and I agree, Klaptraps are very cute. As are Koopas, Octoroks, Piranha Plants, and Meowth off of Pokemon. Gnawtys are creepy, though. 08:10 April 13 2006 Don't merge

Merge them together. It would make sense to do so since Klaptraps ARE Kremlings.

• I disagree, as (currently) its long enough to merit its own article (NOTE:this comment was originally on the Klaptrap talk page, so I moved it here)--TBC^{??? ??? ???} 08:27, 24 April 2006 (UTC) Don't merge

Don't merge To what end would you merge? You've got articles for freaking Bumpties. Take care of them first if you want to go after this one. Nintenfreak 03:23, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

There's no need to merge the two articles, especially as Kremlings are totally seperate from Klaptraps. Klaptraps may be lizards, but unless decapitated lizards live for the remainder of their lives without a body, the two things are unrelated. If they were mutated Kremlings, I would agree, but this is strictly a biological issue rather than an obscurity one.

IMHO, biology doesn't come into this. I mean, I thought Klaptraps had always been Kremlings, just as Klumps, Kasplats, Rockrocs, Kutlasses and Krimps are all Kremlings. They're obviously all different species, but I always thought they were all Kremlings. By the way, what do you mean, decapitated? Nobody decapitated Klaptraps (I'm pretty sure you can't do that in an E-rated game); they look to me like they're just Kremlings who are quadrupeds instead of bipeds. Anyway, Kremlings or not, I agree with Nintenfreak - if Bumptys get an article, so should Klaptraps. Bumptys are far more obscure. RobbieG 19:48, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, Klaptrap don't talk, for one. They're different in intelligence and appearance enough to be considered seperate, in my mind.

That's a good point that I'd never considered; I suppose I always assumed Kremlings to be like primates - all related, but not closely, with Klaptraps and K. Rool as different from each other as people and lemurs. That's just my interpretation though. RobbieG 07:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Merge Klaptrap with Snapjaw I strongly think that the Klaptrap article should merge the the Snapjaw article if anything. There are similar enough to be considered the same thing. Although they are said to be two different creatures they are pracitcally the same. Ratchet&Daxter 17:34, 4 July 2006

I don't like the sound of that, Klaptraps and Snapjaws are surely different enough to merit separate articles. For one thing, the original Snapjaws were quite clearly mechanical (it's more obvious on the concept art, but still apparent in game). For another, Klaptraps are in DK games, whereas Snapjaw is more of a Mario beast. RobbieG 16:20, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

To me, it seems like we were to merge the to articles we would either have to remove content about Klaptraps or have a substantially longer section on them compared to other Kremlings. I think it's better to have Klaptrap as a seperate article. I'll remove the merge tag, as discussion seems to have died out. Of course, if there are any objections, we may start discussing this again. Delta Tango | Talk 20:11, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why no Concept art?

There's barely any concept art for the characters! I'm basically the only one adding stuff!!

Is that a request for more concept art, or just a boast? Sorry. Anyway, it looks like someone deleted all that concept art, though I've no idea why, as I thought it really added to the article. It was really cool. Oh well.

[edit] Non-Kremling Bosses

Army Dillo is an Army. Kleever is a possesed sword. Dogadon is... um... a dogadon, and KAOS is a skeletal robot. None of them is a Kremling. I propose we create a page that deals with non-Kremling bosses in Donkey Kong games. We could include things like Krow, Queen B., the Blast-o-Matic and Smokey the Dragon, too. RobbieG 16:12, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I understand that, but why get rid of Mad Jack? he's basically got the main qualities of most Kremling bosses:

1. Green, reptilian skin
2. Works for K. Rool
3. Wants to kill the kongs
4. Fangs
5. Hasn't said actual words yet

I see no reason to remove him. --T$ 09:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I think Drake Clawfang removed him because he's never explicitly referred to as a Kremling, his name doesn't include a k-related pun, and he's not a real crocodile (he's a living jack-in-the-box). Really, there's plenty of evidence either way. I would personally describe him as a possessed toy who is meant to look like a Kremling, rather than an actual Kremling. That's just my opinion though. RobbieG 13:10, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

So what you're saying is, there's no way to tell if he's a Kremling until proven, but there's plenty of evidence to make him a Kremling. But also plenty of evidence to him not being a Kremling? As for the page proposal, how about Non-Kremling Donkey Kong Enemies? We could include thongs like Dogadon, Gnawty, Krow, Pufftoss, and so on! --T$ 23:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Uh... yeah, basically that's what I'm saying. There's plenty of (dubious IMHO) 'evidence' either way, so maybe we should just play it safe and leave him off the Kremling list for now. My (admittedly rather weak) argument against him being a Kremling is that he's a toy, so calling him a Kremling would be like calling the clockwork soldiers from SML2 human.

Anyway, I like your page proposal. It'd be good to give the other villains, and not just the bosses, a chance to shine, as it were... RobbieG 11:30, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Here we go: List of non-Kremling Donkey Kong enemies! RobbieG 11:40, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kremlings A - Z

Shouldn't the Kremling glossary be alphabetized? I think it would help, regardless of how most of the Kremling types start with K. Erik the Appreciator 23:54, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Same?

I've been wondering, are the robotic kremlings from DK64 the same as the Robo-Kritters from Super Mario Strikers. -- Lord Crayak

Can you provide a picture of a Robo-Kritter? RobbieG 16:11, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing sections

The edit tags all lead to the wrong places! If you try to edit Kosha it takes you to Kritter! If you try to edit Kritter it takes you to editing Krumple! What's going on? RobbieG 18:04, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
