Boss Guide

To beat the boss of a level, you have to go to one of the Troff n' Scoff portals (one of those little doors with the pictures of the 2 pigs on it). There you must give the required amount of bananas to the blue pig (Troff or Scoff?) by standing on the banana pad. If you've given enough bananas, the pink pig opens the door and you're able to go in and kick the living daylights out of the boss. Or at least try to. 

After beating a boss you receive a boss key. Once you have all the keys go to K. Lunky's cage (next to K. Rool's ship) and unlock his locks. However, you also need the Rareware Coin and the Nintendo Coin. Find out how to get them here

Banana requirements for bosses:
Jungle Japes-60 bananas
Angry Aztec-120 bananas
Frantic Factory-200 bananas
Gloomy Galleon-250 bananas
Fungi Forest-300 bananas
Crystal Caves-350 bananas
Creepy Castle-400 bananas

 

Boss #1 (Jungle Japes): ArmyDillo
You start out with DK for this boss. All you have to do is evade his fireballs until he stops to laugh at you. Then, throw the TNT barrel at him. He'll roll around and try to smush you, but just keep out of his reach and you'll be fine. Hit him 3 times with the TNT barrel and the boss key is yours. Piece o' cake. 

Boss #2 (Angry Aztec): Dogadon
Diddy is your man for this boss. He flies around chucking fireballs at you. Like before, all you have to do is run around dodging them until he stops to laugh at you. When you run out of space to run, jump back over the previous fireball (but not in it!) and run that way. Chuck a TNT barrel at him 3 times while he's scolding you and this guy is a goner. 

Boss #3 (Frantic Factory): Mad Jack
Whoa! What happened to all the easy bosses!? To say the least, this dude is hard. Here's how to beat him:

  • Use Tiny's Ponytail Twirl to jump from pillar to pillar. Be careful not to get jumped on by Jack. If you fall off, it's no big deal. Just get back on the pillars and start at it again. 
  • When he stops jumping, look to see what color pillar he is on (it's going to be either blue or white). Now quickly look for the pillar of the same color with a button on it. Do your Simian Slam on it and watch as Jack writhes in pain.
  • After each hit Jack gets faster and faster, so either also go faster or get smushed. Be prepared to spend a lot of time jumping back and forth between pillars because you don't have enough time to jump to different ones.
  • After 3 hits, Jack begins to shoot lasers at you. Yeah. Uh oh. This means you have to time your jumps even better than before. 
  • Eventually he turns invisible. You have to keep your eyes on where he's going by looking at the pillar illuminations. Don't worry. After hitting him one last time, he's dead (Finally!)

The real key to beating this boss is perseverance. Just take your time, relax, and whup him. If you fall off, its no big deal. Eventually you'll get into a kind of rhythm and it will become much easier. Just keep trying.

Boss #4 (Gloomy Galleon): Pufftoss
I really like the idea for this boss. You're playing as Lanky, but now you're in a little boat. To beat him, just zoom through the DK stars and poles should pop up and zap Pufftoss. 5 stars = 5 poles = 1 zap. You have to go faster and faster each time you zap him. Avoid his wave move by sticking towards the outside of the arena. 5 shocks and he's sushi. 

Boss #5 (Fungi Forest): Dogadon Rematch
How creative Rare is. Can't they think of another boss instead of having a rematch? Ah well. As before, evade his fireballs until he lands to point his finger at you as if to say "Tsk tsk you puny monkey." Nail him with a TNT barrel and he falls into the lava. On the 3rd hit he flies up and shoots a moving wall of fire at you. You're unable to evade it; just take the hit and keep going. After 4 hits he pounds on the ground, raising the lava level. This means you only have a limited amount of time to beat him. Now throw the TNT barrel at him when he lands and jump into the Chunky barrel that appears in its place. You will grow to the size of the dragon. Don't just go over to Dogadon and try to beat him up. You have to use your Primate Punch (Z and B) as many times as possible. Keep Primate Punching him until he dies. If you're unable to beat him in the allotted time, Chunky gets surrounded by lava and dies.  

Boss # 6 (Crystal Caves): ArmyDillo Rematch
Good god. Yet another rematch. C'mon now. To beat this ArmyDillo copycat, just avoid his fireballs. When he starts laughing, hurl the TNT barrel at him. When starts rolling just run to the wall. Exactly like the other guy. Jump to avoid his shock waves. After that ArmyDillo takes out his good stuff: homing missiles. You have two options: 1) Get hit by the missile and in turn chuck the TNT barrel at him and win, or 2) Dodge the missile by jumping over the TNT barrel. The missile will hit the barrel, not you. Throw a new barrel at him and you win. 

Boss #7 (Creepy Castle): King Kut Out
Coming soon! (I haven't beaten this boss yet)

Finale: King K. Rool himself
Also coming soon.
