"Blast-O-Matic" is one of the answers available for the sixth question.</ref> is a powerful laser-firing weapon developed by the [[Kremling]]s under [[King K. Rool]]'s orders in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. It comprises a majority of K. Rool's ship, [[Crocodile Isle (Donkey Kong 64)|Crocodile Isle]]. This machine is powered by a central core, which is connected to five rooms, each with its own colored power generator; the color for each power source corresponds to one of the five [[Kong]]s. The device is capable of firing a laser from three brass rings surrounding a metal arrowhead pole. The arrow of the machine comes out from the belly of Crocodile Isle.

|
| ==History==
| | The '''Blast-o-Matic''' is a powerful weapon [[King K. Rool]] attempts to use to destroy [[Donkey Kong Island]] during the events of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. It was designed by the weasel technician [[Snide]], who is deprived of the weapon's [[blueprint]]s and his membership in the [[Kremling Krew]] by K. Rool before the game begins. Sometime later, the Blast-o-Matic is incorporated into [[Crocodile Isle (Donkey Kong 64)|Crocodile Isle]], K. Rool's mobile base of operations, but is damaged when Crocodile Isle collides with a rock near the island. To buy time to repair the weapon, K. Rool imprisons [[Diddy Kong]], [[Lanky Kong]], [[Tiny Kong]], and [[Chunky Kong]] and confiscates [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Golden Banana]] hoard. While this works as intended, the Blast-o-Matic is eventually disabled through the Kongs' efforts in [[Hideout Helm]]. |

| [[File:Blast-o-Matic GG DK64 cutscene.png|thumb|K. Rool asking his chief technician on the Blast-o-Matic's progress]]
| |
| Prior to the game's events, [[Snide]] was the lead technician for the Blast-o-Matic. K. Rool eventually became paranoid of Snide and fired him. He lost access to the weapon's [[blueprint]]s, which K. Rool split apart and handed a piece to each of the [[Kasplat]]s.
| |
|
| |
|
| The game's intro shows K. Rool heading to [[Donkey Kong Island|DK Isles]], plotting to blast it with the Blast-o-Matic. However, as Crocodile Isle steers quickly on the water, it hits a rock, causing the Blast-o-Matic to break. The Kremlings work on repairing the machine for a large portion of the [[Kong]]s' adventure, having stolen [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Golden Banana]]s and kidnapped [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], [[Lanky Kong|Lanky]], [[Tiny Kong|Tiny]], and [[Chunky Kong|Chunky]] to buy time to do so.
| | Failure to shut down the Blast-o-Matic (or selecting the "Quit Game" option from the pause menu) results in a cinematic of K. Rool laughing as the Blast-o-Matic prepares to fire at Donkey Kong Island. |
| | |
| When the Kongs enter [[Gloomy Galleon]] for the first time, a cutscene shows K. Rool telling a Kritter, the Blast-o-Matic's new chief technician, that he trusts the Blast-o-Matic to almost be ready for activation. The Kritter says the machine is unfinished, and in response, K. Rool sends out [[Klaptrap]] guards to ensure that the Kritters do not escape until they finish repairing the machine.
| |
| | |
| Later, when the Kongs first enter [[Creepy Castle]], a cutscene shows a Kasplat trying to escape from Crocodile Isle, hoping that K. Rool does not find out about the Kongs recovering the blueprints to the Blast-o-Matic, which it describes as a "stupid machine".
| |
| | |
| Upon first entering the final world, [[Hideout Helm]], the Kongs set off the Isle's alarm system, forcing K. Rool to activate the weapon, even though the chief technician begs for a few more hours to fully test it before firing, fearing that the Blast-o-Matic may explode and destroy them all. The Kongs' main goal is to deactivate the Blast-o-Matic within the time limit, which varies depending on how many blueprints that the Kongs have recovered for Snide (one minute for each blueprint, up to a total of 50 minutes). To deactivate the machine, each Kong must complete two [[Bonus Barrel]] challenges just outside their corresponding power source.
| |
| | |
| Failure to shut down the Blast-o-Matic in time (or choosing "Quit Game" from the Pause Menu) results in a Game Over cinematic where K. Rool laughs madly and presses a few buttons to activate the Blast-o-Matic. The sequence stops just before it allegedly takes fire at DK Isles. | |
| | |
| The Blast-o-Matic was named the "Super Gun" in a [[List of Donkey Kong 64 pre-release and unused content|prototype build]] of ''Donkey Kong 64''.<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Proto:Donkey Kong 64/Early Script#Snide|Proto:Donkey Kong 64/Early Script]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=June 9, 2017}}</ref>

| [[File:SSBU Crocodile Isle.png|thumb|The Blast-o-Matic as seen in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'']]
| |
| The Blast-o-Matic appears as K. Rool's [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', essentially as a recreation of the Game Over sequence from ''Donkey Kong 64'' down to K. Rool having to press the button multiple times while laughing maniacally before it fires; only this time, the results of him firing the cannon are actually shown.
| |
| | |
| The Blast-o-Matic also appears as a Legend-class support spirit that occupies one support slot. When used, the spirit increases the damage a fighter can deal to giant opponents in battle. It can be purchased from Sheldon's Place for 10,000 Spirit Points.

| *Elements of the Blast-o-Matic's design resemble the [[jiggywikki:Big-O-Blaster|Big-O-Blaster]] from ''{{wp|Banjo-Tooie}}'', and even had a similar purpose and naming convention. As both ''Donkey Kong 64'' and ''Banjo Tooie'' were created by Rare within the same time period, the similarity was most likely intentional. | | *The Blast-o-Matic is mentioned in K. Rool's [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] description in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. |
