---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1 Jungle Japes Boss : Army Dillo
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level : Jungle Japes
Bananas needed : 60
Character used : Donkey Kong
Difficulty : Easy
Description :
Here's a battle-brained brawler that you have to be careful with. Army Dillo is
one of K. Rool's meanies that takes the military thing a little too far. He has
armor, hazardous twin flamethrowers, and the ability to curl up into a lethal
steamroller. Be sure you fight fire with explosive fire!
How to beat em':
1) To avoid his fire balls zig-zag.
2) Once Army Dillo pauses grab the TNT barrel and chuck it at him!
3) Run in circles away from Army Dillo as he rolls around.
4) Repeat process 3 times and you'll win!
5) Grab the DK Key and take it to K.Lumpsy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 2 Angry Aztec Boss : Dogadon
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level : Angry Aztec
Bananas needed : 120
Character used : Diddy Kong
Difficulty : Easy
Description :
Q. How dangerous could a little dragonfly be?
A. It depends on who its father is. Dogadon is the dangerous daddy that is more
dragon than fly. He spits fiery phlegm and keeps you dancing to keep away.
How to beat em':
1) To avoid his fire balls zig-zag.
2) Once Dogadon pauses grab the TNT barrel and chuck it at him!
3) Repeat process 3 times and you'll win!
4) Grab the DK Key and take it to K.Lumpsy.
(seems the same to the previous boss....)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3 Frantic Factory Boss : Mad Jack
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level : Frantic Factory
Bananas needed : 200
Character used : Tiny Kong (you MUST have her pony-tail spin attack)
Difficulty : One of the hardest in the game!
Description :
Here's the thing...he's a jack-in-the-box, but he's mad! He bounces from tile to
tile (but never diagonally) trying to squish Tiny. Mad Jack is one of K. Rool's
demented inventions that was created to stop the Kongs from taking over.
Note: The camera angles perhaps make this the most frustrating boss in the game.
You probaly won't beat him this first try but keep on trying.
How to beat em':
1) Avoid Mad Jack by staying one step ahead of him.
2) When he stops take a quick looks around. You'll see two buttons you can
stomp; one on a white square one on a blue. Stomp the one that has the same
color that Mad Jack is on.
3) After 3 hits he'll start to shoot out lasers. Lure him to a dummy square
then quickly move to the stomp-button one.
4) Later the boss turns invisible. You can only track him by the sparcle he
leaves behind. Remember falling off doesn't hurt. Getting hit does.
5) After a couple more hits this boss will be history.
6) Grab the DK Key and take it to K. Lumpsy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 4 Gloomy Galleon Boss : Puftoss
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level : Gloomy Galleon
Bananas needed : 250
Character used : Lanky Kong
Difficulty : Easy/Moderate
Description :
Sometimes it's a little huffy about being so puffy, but this enormous fire-
breathing puffer fish goes out of its way to knock Lanky off his little seashell
motorboat. You may be shocked when you discover how to stop it.
How to beat em':
***Due to a couple emails regarding a more detailed version of this Boss
strategy I made one!
Controls during this battle:
Press A to Jump
Press Z to Accelerate (go)
Press R to keep behind Lanky
Basically you go through the DK Stars within the alotted time to give Puftoss a
shock.
After five shocks Puftoss is a goner!
Keep circling the boss looking for the DK Stars.
After each successful shock you have less time to go through the next set of
stars.
Try not to pay attention to the timer, it'll just screw you up. Consentrate on
finding the DK Stars.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 5 Fungi Forest Boss : Dogadon-Reborn
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level : Fungi Forest
Bananas needed : 300
Character used : Chunky Kong
Difficulty : Easy
Description :
Remember Dogadon from Angry Aztec? Well this is him again! Though you basicly
do the same thing you'll have to be quicker on your feet!
How to beat em':
1) To avoid his fire balls zig-zag.
2) Once Dogadon pauses grab the TNT barrel and chuck it at him!
3) After four hits Dogadon will start to pound the ground causing the platform
to sink.
4) After each hit now you'll get a chance to become big. Every time you do lay
as many punches on Dogadon as you can. Note: If you don't do enough in the
allotted time the platform will sink!
5) After that Dogadon should fall to a Kong again.
6) Grab the DK Key and give it to K.Lumpsy.
NOTE : On step number 4 use only the quick punches (rapidly tapping B) NOT the
primate punches (Z+B)! They take far too long.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 6 Crystal Caves Boss : Army Dillo-Reborn
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level : Crystal Caves
Bananas needed : 250
Character used : Donkey Kong
Difficulty : Easy
Description :
Don't you think Rare is getting a little un-original making the bosses repeats?
Any way this Army Dillo is basically the same as before.
How to beat em':
1) To avoid his fire balls zig-zag.
2) Once Army Dillo pauses grab a TNT barrel and chuck it at him!
3) After three hits run circles to get away from him, and flip jump to avoid the
shock waves.
4) After that Army Dillo will fire homing-missiles at you. Dodge them then
after a few more TNT hits he'll go down.
5) Grab the DK Key and give it to K.Lumpsy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 7 Creepy Castle Boss : K.Rool (cardboard)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level : Creepy Castle
Bananas needed : 300
Character used : All Kongs
Difficulty : Moderate
Description :
The Kremlings have set up a fake K. Rool for all the Kongs to fight, and just
like the cardboard K. Rool, this boss is nothing more than a paper tiger, er,
crocodile.
How to beat em':
1) Use the cannon to shoot a Kong at K.Rool when he's not shooting his lasers
(otherwise you'll get hit in mid-air!)
2) After 3 hits K.Rool will make a ghost image of himself. After 6 hits he get
tougher.
3) When he's not shooting lasers, K.Rool will pop up quickly from wall to wall,
while an enemy ghost Kremling will appear as a distraction.
4) Constantly move to avoid getting shot by a laser and kill the ghost Kremling
to replenish health. Here's the tough part: On almost reflex-type action, the
Kong has to be in the cannon the moment K. Rool appears in front of it.
5) Stand as close as possible to a cannon and watch the wall. If K. Rool pops up
first, great - K. Rool will appear on the three other walls first before
returning. Listen to the sound cues and anticipate the return of K. Rool to the
wall the Kong's cannon faces (as the fourth growl is heard).
6) If a Kong is watching the wall, and K. Rool doesn't appear on the first two
sounds, by process of elimination, K. Rool will show up 3rd or 4th. Anticipate
this and jump in the barrel the moment K. Rool pops up. After 9 hits, the fake
K. Rool will be history. You have five lives - one for each Kong - so don't be
scared to guess the correct wall at the end for that final hit.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Boss - K.Rool (real!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Level : Hideout Helm/DK Isles
Character used : All Kongs
Difficulty : Hard
How to fight him :
Completing Hideout Helm is necessary to get to the last K.Rool boss battle - a
12-round slugfest in true boxing fashion (right down to the hilarious cheating
on the Kremlings' part). To fight K. Rool, get the final eighth boss key in
Hideout Helm then take it to K. Lumsy. Without giving too much of the story
away, this unlocks the entrance to K.Rool's boss battle, near the waterfall area
on the main island in Isles. Once inside, the Kongs have 12 rounds to defeat out
K. Rool.
How to beat em':
Donkey Kong vs. K.Rool:
1) At the beggining, climb up the nearest turnbuckle and wait there until the
blast barrels appear atop the turnbuckles. Jump in and shoot Donkey at K. Rool
when he lets his guard down and waves to the crowd.
2) After the first hit, K. Rool will begin to fake his crowd wave once - so
don't shoot right away. Jump over the ground shockwaves and run to each of the
other three barrels. For the last shot on K. Rool, the window of opportunity is
narrow.
3) Count the shakes K. Rool makes. On every 7th shake, K.Rool will let down his
guard. Time Donkey's shot so he strikes K.Rool right after that 7th shake.
Diddy Kong vs. K.Rool:
1) Dodge the flying gloves until a jet pack barrel appears. Flip jump into the
barrel to fly up to the lights right above K.Rool. Shoot the two red targets on
each of the lights while flying to make it fall on K. Rool's head. Repeat the
process 3 more times, keep moving constantly to avoid the flying gloves.
2) REMEMBER: At all costs, don't fall on anything that will turn off Diddy's jet
pack.
Lanky Kong vs. K.Rool:
1) This part gets tough more from the camera angle views rather than the
difficulty factor. At the start, wait for 4 switches to come up outside the
ring. While avoiding K. Rool, use the B button to stretch the arms out to hit a
switch. This should make a barrel appear.
2) Grab the barrel with the B button and throw it anywhere in the ring
(preferably in the middle) to break it. This reveals the banana peel inside.
Now, run to a trombone music pad and play the trombone tenor - but only when the
banana peel's between K. Rool and Lanky. When K. Rool hears the noise, it'll run
straight to Lanky. If the peel's placed correctly, K. Rool will slip on the
peel.
3) Repeat the process with the remaining switches and music pads to continue.
Tiny Kong vs. K.Rool:
1) Use the pony tail attack to fly above K.Rool's shockwave attack. When the
Tiny's mini monkey barrel appears, quickly flip jump into it to turn small.
2) Run into K.Rool's shoe. Dodge the moving toes, then shoot the toe that sticks
up. Repeat 4 times until all of K.Rool's toes are red.
Chunky Kong vs. K.Rool:
1) At the beggining of the battle, search for a blue stomp switch in the middle
of the ring to Simian Slam. While dodging K. Rool's rope-bouncing attack, run to
a corner where a round pad with Chunky's face on it lies. Press Z on the pad to
turn invisible and make K. Rool visible. Run to the center again and flip jump
into the Hunky Chunky barrel.
2) As K.Rool runs at Chunky, use the primate punch to knock down K.Rool just
before he attacks. Generally, try to execute the primate punch as rapidly as
possible on each attack. Repeat three more times. On the third attack, K. Rool
will turn invisible and attack quickly - so primate punch quickly once that
screen pops up.
3) On the final attack, Chunky must predict K. Rool's arrival while invisible
and zigzagging toward Chunky. Just primate punch repeatedly if you can't do
that.
