Kaboing is a Kremling male who is one of Kremling Krew members. He is supported by two peg legs and can jump because they are loaded by springs.
Kaboing's model is a recolor of Klomp's. He is a gray/green Kritter with a yellow belly. He wears a ocher pants and use two iron peg legs.
History
Along with his fellows from Kremling Krew in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2, Kaboing is ordered by K. Rool to dress up as a pirate of the Kremling Kuthroats' time.[2][3][4] He patrolled areas of Crocodile Isle to prevent Diddy and Dixie from saving the Donkey Kong who was kidnapped by his boss. He jumps all over the place and becomes tricky when he jumps to high. Just like the other common Kritters, Kaboing is weak and can be easily defeated by any attack of Diddy & Dixie.
Profiles
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
- SNES Instruction booklet (page 28): "This Kremling bounces around on two spring-loaded peg legs."
- Nintendo Player's Guide (page 13): "Kaboing has hd both of his legs replaced with spring-loaded pegs, and he uses them with deadly efficiency. If tou're on the same level with him, you should use a super jump to get a leg up on him; otherwise, you my find yourself jumping right into him rather than on top him."
- Nintendo Magazine System (Australia) vol. 36 (page 21): "These Kremlings are never happy with what they've been given are they?! This one decided he'd have much more fun if he had his legs removed and replaced by super spring-loaded peg legs."
