'''Ba-Boom, the Boisterous''' is the third boss in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. He is the boss of [[Bright Savannah]], appearing in the level '''Triple Trouble'''. Before the battle, the [[Kong]]s notice a [[Banana Bunch]] in the air by a wooden pole. As they try to grab it, Ba-Boom slyly snatches the bunch. He then splits into three, all of whom promptly mock the Kongs, angering them.

Ba-Boom is a black {{wp|mandrill}}, as evidenced by his bright blue cheeks, though his name in both English and Japanese suggests he is a {{wp|baboon}}, of which mandrills were formerly classified as. Aside from his cheeks, his face resembles a long version of [[Donkey Kong]]'s, and he also has messy hair. He wears a Viking helmet with the [[Snowmad]] symbol, as well as blue bracelets on his arms and legs. Ba-Boom's split selves look exactly like him, except one of them has teal cheeks and bracelets, while the other has red cheeks and bracelets.

The three apes move quickly, often relying on his speed to attack. Ba-Boom and his copies attack by swinging a rope, and swinging a hammer. They can all perform a rolling attack, though they end up getting dizzy and vulnerable at the end of it. They also throw [[Watermelon Fuse Bomb]]s, which can be spiky or green; the green watermelons can be thrown back at them. Ba-Boom can also call his siblings to his side if they are not defeated. When two of the brothers are defeated, Ba-Boom will create weaker shadow clones of himself, and repeat the aforementioned patterns. Him and these clones also swing back and forth in a chain formation while tossing bombs.  

To defeat Ba-Boom, the Kongs will have to damage the brothers, either by jumping on them, or by throwing their Watermelon Fuse Bombs back at them. However, the Kongs can only jump on their rear ends, as their helmets will render jump attacks on the head useless. However, this can be mitigated by using [[Cranky Kong]]'s cane jump. They are more vulnerable when on the ground, and they can be rolled into.

*Ba-Boom uses {{wp|ninjutsu}} in order to create two shadow clones, as evident by his usage of hand seal movements.

*When Ba-Boom performs a rolling attack, the animation and sound effect are similar to [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'s [[Spin Dash (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Spin Dash]].

*Given how Ba-Boom lured Donkey Kong into a trap with a Banana Bunch, this makes him the only other boss in the game (besides [[Lord Fredrik]]), to have seemingly known about Donkey Kong before the two meet.
