'''King Ka-thunk'''<ref>Level name: [[King Ka-thunk's Castle]]</ref> (known as '''King Kathunk''' in the British English version of the original [[Wii U]] version) is a boss that appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' as the boss of [[King Ka-thunk's Castle|World 5-Castle: King Ka-thunk's Castle]]. He is a small, blue metal square with red shoes and detached red hands. He also has five spikes on the front (one of which is positioned like a beak right below his eyes) and his back is pink and fleshy with an X-shaped bandage over it. King Ka-thunk floats in the middle of another, larger [[Ka-thunk]] frame that his hands hold on to.
'''King Ka-Thunk''' (known as '''King Kathunk''' in PAL regions) is a boss that appears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' as the boss of [[King Ka-thunk's Castle|World 5-Castle: King Ka-thunk's Castle]]. He is a small, blue metal square with red feet and detached red hands. He also has five spikes on the front and his back is pink and fleshy with a bandage on it. King Ka-thunk floats in the middle of another, larger [[Ka-Thunk]] frame.


He shares his boss theme with [[Boss Brolder]] and [[Motley Bossblob]].
He serves as the boss of [[World 5 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 5]]. His main attack is moving around the Ka-thunk before finally stopping in one of the corners. After this, the ground that King Ka-thunk will fall on glows red before he crashes into the ground, damaging any players caught under the Ka-thunk. To damage King Ka-thunk, the player has to jump on his backside while he is face down. After each hit, two of the arena's corners will fall off, and King Ka-thunk will become faster and more erratic. Once three hits are landed, King Ka-thunk is defeated, and the [[Warp Box]] to the [[Goal Pole]] is revealed.

After this, the ground that King Ka-thunk will fall on glows red before he crashes into the ground, damaging any players caught under him or his frame. To damage King Ka-thunk, the player has to jump on his backside while he is facing down. Oddly enough, he is not damaged if a player is thrown onto his weak spot by another player. After each hit, two of the arena's corners will fall off, and King Ka-thunk will become faster and more erratic. Once three hits are landed, King Ka-thunk is defeated, several circles of [[Coin]]s appear, and the [[Warp Box]] to the [[Goal Pole]] is revealed.
King Ka-thunk later reappears as one of the bosses in [[Boss Blitz|World Flower-12: Boss Blitz]]. However, his strategy has not changed since the first battle.
 
King Ka-thunk later reappears as one of the bosses in [[Boss Blitz|World Flower-12: Boss Blitz]] with the exact same strategy from his first battle in World 5.
