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 for 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
As Donkey, he 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
As Diddy, he 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
As 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
As Tiny, he 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. Get 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 -- when one of them 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 it. The last battle. This one is a little more complicated than
the rest. K. Rool will turn invisible and bounce from rope to rope. You
will see his shadow, though. 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.
