2. Introduction
-------------------------

This guide is to help you beat the bosses/boss levels
and also to help you get a platinum.

There are many boss fight where it is like you are boxing another
kong. The way this fight works is you stand toe-to-toe with
the boss and use the bongos to punch the boss. In addition
you use the clap function to dodge the enemy's attacks. In these
battles your life bare is determined by the number of beats you
gather in the levels in the kingdom before the boss. However,
any damage you take in these battles will be deducted from your
beats from the other 2 levels in the kingdom.


These battles will be marked by a star. Ex.(Boss name here*)

-------------------------
3. Dread Kong*
-------------------------

This guy is the boss of the banana kingdom. This guy is super
easy. Once the fight starts tap a bongo to him him once. Then
let him swing at you and dodge by clapping. Then there will be
slow motion time, hit the bongo now to stagger him. Once he is
staggered hit the bongos as fast as you can until he gets up
to inflict major damage. Once his life bar gets down to about
250 we will bang his chest and scream. At this point he is
going to go faster now. Just fight him like before until he
goes down.

-------------------------
4. Ninja Kong*
-------------------------

This is the boss of the Durian Kingdom.This guy is easy for
some people and hard for other people. This guy is similar to
Dread Kong but has some differences that make him much harder.
One difference is that you won't get as many chances to hit
him repetitivly. Also, he can inflict multiple hit combos that
do a lot of damage. He can also do fake moves the hit you for
real brfore you can dodge again. However, if you try to hit him
before he hits you (he will dodge it, but he won't hit you).
Like other boss battles occuring in this game he gets harder
after reaching half of his maximum life. Once this happens,
he can do two or three fake attacks in a row. And also, he gets
faster. If you can handle his tactics just whittle his life to
zero. (This fight mwill be next to impossible if you button mash)

-------------------------
5. Sumo Kong*
-------------------------

This is the boss of the star fruit kingdom. This boss is much
easier than ninja kong. He can do left and right punches. The
trick is to doge the ones from his right and try to counter the
ones from his left. If you counter his left punch he should dodge
and try to hit you dodge it and it will go into slow motion mode,
hit him before it ends and hit him as many times as possible before
he recovers. I think he can do a fake punch (needs to be confirmed).
When this guy reaches half life he gets faster and does more damage.
Just repeat the above mentioned process until he is defeated.

-------------------------
6. Beating the level (Cactus King)
-------------------------

Once the level starts go right until you reach a wall. Then
use the monkey-in-a-bush to get up the wall. Once up fight
the ninjas and go right until the next wall. Once there do a
wall jump then use the monkey-in-a-bush to grab onto the wall
and scale it. Then grab the bird and fly up until the dead end
(be careful of the shruiken using ninjas). Once up you see what
appears to be a dead end run into the wall on the right and
you begin fighting the Cactus King.

This fight is very easy, just clap the fire back at the pig he
is riding to destroy it. Then he fights you himself. Let him
approach you while you wait by the wall. Once he's in range
do a wall jump towards his head and clap so he is in the red
circle, this knocks him down. Before he can get up run towards
his head then clap. This triggers the thig where you hit the
bongos as fast as you can to hurt him. Repeat until he dies.

-------------------------
7. Getting platinum Crest (Cactus King)
-------------------------

Getting the platinum crest here is very hard and requires almost
all of the beats, so if you get hit even once restart the level.

When you start run up to the 1st beats and get them both in a
two move combo. Next, run up to the 1st wall do a wall jump,
use the monkey in a bush and grab the beats at the top of the wall.
Next, destroy all the sword-ninja monkeys at once, getting all the
beats in one clap. Just before the next wall there is a set of four
beats hidden in the ground. Send the beats into the air do a wall
jump getting them before the monkey-in-a-bush, then scale the wall.
Once at the top, before yopu land grab the bird. Next simply go
tothe top grabing all the beats you see. However you should still
need a few beats, so destroy the shruiken using ninjas and get each
of their beats in one clap. If done right you should have just over
400 beats(i had 401). Finally fight the Cactus King without losing
any beats. Once you win you recieve the other 800 beats you need
for the platinum.

-------------------------
8. Beating the level (Ghastly King)
-------------------------

Once the level starts go right until the wall, then use the monkey-
in-a-bush to get onto the vine. After that swing to the right and
land on the wall, be careful because there is an ememy waiting at
the top so when you see him defeat him before you are knocked off
the ledge. Once he is defeated go to the wall and do a wall jump
into the monkey-in-a-bush then wall jump the rest of the way up.
At the top there is a bird, grab him and fly to the top, just like
in the cactus king level except there is also cannon elephants.

For the fight against the Ghastly King it is identical to the cactus
king fight but, he shoots green fire balls. Once you beat him you have
beaten the level.

-------------------------
9. Getting platinum Crest (Ghastly King)
-------------------------

Once the level starts go right until the wall (Do not get the beats
yet). do a wall jump into the monkey-in-a-bush, then jump off the
vine and grab the beats in one clap. After that go to the top of the
wall. Run to the middle of the beats on the roofand defeat the enemy,
this will give you the hieght you need to get the beats. Be sure to
get everything in one clap. Go right until the wall and scale it,
make sure you get all of the beats on the way up. Grab the bird before
you land. Fly up getting the beats (get each set in one clap). but,
you still need a few more. To get these defeat the shruiken using
ninjas and get their beats in one clap. If you did it right you should
have 400 or so beats. At this point just fly up like in the cactus king
level and beat the Ghastly King without getting hit and you get a
platinum crest.

10. Mini-bosses
-------------------------

Spider: This is basically a giant spider who's only attack is to hit
       you with his legs. His range is very poor, and as long as you
       stay in the middle of his legs he cant hit you. Unless, you
       are in the durian kingdom in which case the are shruiken ninjas
       that get in the way and possibly do minor damage. To defeat him
       wait until he lowers his head into your reach and clap on it.
       After you do this Donkey Kong will grab his head. Wait until
       his eyes change colors and hit the bongos as fast as you can.
       This should be enough to beat him.

Dancing Bear: This guy is fairly easy to defeat, he can jump on you
       claw at you and roar. To beat this guy all you have to do is
       wait until the does his roar attack and clap to reflect it.
       This should daze him, so run up and clap. To finish him off
       hit the bongos when he is in in the circle immage infront of
       Donkey Kong do that once to defeat him.

Armidillo:This guy is super easy, all he can do to hurt you is roll
       at you. To beat him jump over him while he rolls at you and
       clap once to stun him. Then clap again to get your chance to
       beat him. In this all you do is hit the bongos when he is in
       a circle image infront of Donkey Kong, this makes Donkey Kong
       punch the enemy causing him to bounce into the air repeat
       until you have done it four times and the enemy should be
       defeated.

Big Fish: This guy is very simple, but hard to beat. You have to get a
       set distance from him in the water before you can even try to
       fight him. When you are far enough away he will shoot a beam of
       sorts at you. When he does this clap to reflect it. But, wait he
       can reflect it back again, so every time you reflect it move a
       little closer until you beat him. Once he is hurt grab his tail
       to continue with the level.

Blob:   I don't really know this guy's name so let's just call him blob
       for now. This guy is super annoying, he is like the big fish on
       land. But, he hides more and one of them is in a really hard place
       to fight him. Aware they are only in the chili Pepper Kingdom. to
       fight them just reflect the beam back when it turns into a solid
       object. gradually close in evey time and assuming he doesn't hide.
       When you fight him right before the end of the Magma Coliseum you
       get two small platforms to stand on which get pounded by fire on and
       off. The trick here is to know it never strikes the same pad twice.
       Once you beat him collect your beats and go to the end of the level.
