Defeating K. Rool

After collecting the Rare Ware coin, Nintendo coin, and 100 golden bananas; freeing K.
Lumsy; and completed Hideout Helm, you will get access to the final battle with K. Rool.
You have to fight in a boxing ring and hit K. Rool four times with each Kong, with round
times of three minutes. If you lose any of these rounds, you have to start over at
Donkey.
 



Donkey

With Donkey, K. Rool will jump up and slam the ground, causing shock waves, like
Kasplat. Four barrels will appear. Jump into one of them and fire at K. Rool when he lifts
his arm and yells "Thank You" to the audience. Do this four times.
 

Diddy

With Diddy, K. Rool will throw his boxing glove. This is hard to avoid on the ground,
but easy once you have got into the Rocket Barrel. Once in the Rocket Barrel, fire peanuts
at the targets on the four lights at the top of the ring. Hit him with all four
lights.
 

Lanky

With Lanky, K. Rool will have a light fixture stuck on his head. All he can do is run
around the ring. Four numbered switches will appear outside the ring. Run to where you can
get a clear shot, then press B to push in the number. A barrel will appear next to Lanky
outside the ring. Press B to pick it up, then throw it into the middle of the ring. A
giant banana peel will appear out of the barrel. Four trombone pads will appear on the
ground in the ring. Stand on a trombone, then wait until K. Rool is a straight line away
from you. Play the trombone, then K. Rool will run at you from where he is standing. If
your timing is good, he will trip on the banana peel. Do this four times.
 

Tiny

With Tiny, K. Rool will pound the ground as he did with Donkey. Wait until he pounds
the ground a few times, then he will start yelling in pain. A barrel will appear. Turn
small, then run into the hole in his left shoe. Inside, you will have your feather bow.
His toes will attack in patterns. Watch them and when one wiggles, it is going to attack.
When a toe rises, fire the crossbow at it. Once you hit it enough times, it will turn red.
Get into his shoe and make all four toes red.
 

Chunky

This is the last battle and is a little more complicated than the rest. K. Rool will
turn invisible and bounce from rope to rope, but you will still see his shadow. Hit the
switch and four Chunky pads will appear. Press Z on one to become invisible, then jump
into the barrel to become big Chunky. You have to have very good timing to do this. The
first two times K. Rool will just run at you. Primate Punch him (hold Z and press B) just
as he approaches, and you will hit him. The third time, he will be invisible. Primate
Punch him again. The fourth time, he will be invisible and swerve back and forth. If you
hit him, you win.
