Krunk

Krunk is one of Velo's champions. He is the champion of Terra, the first planet in Crash Nitro Kart. When you race him, he'll lay down Sticky Fruit to try to stop you from winning. Defeating him gets you the first of the four keys in the game. Just before he's challenged, he claims that Earth is a copy of Terra. When he is defeated, he admits that Terra actually copied Earth, and after hearing this, Crash shows a bit of compassion for Krunk and gives him his yo-yo which Krunk sees as a gift from Crash's world. Afterwards Velo warps up and see's Krunk tangled up in Crash's yo-yo, and is disgusted and angrely tell him to leave his sight. You can unlock him from the GameBoy version by beating him the first time from the level called Jungle Boogie. His performance on the kart is equal to that of all other bosses as revealed on the GBA version in which all his stats were perfect (all were 7/7).

 * Krunk was originally called Kongo.
 * Krunk makes a cameo appearance in Crash Tag Team Racing where a statue of him is found in Deep Sea Driving.
