Muckety-Muck is a boss that appears in Donkey Kong Bananza. It is a Muckoid that resides in the Feast Layer and guards access to the Forbidden Layer.
Void Company created Muckety-Muck as a way to prevent Donkey Kong from reaching the Planet Core, and its presence in the Banana Burger Processing Plant is preventing the resident Lion Fractones' famous Banana Burger from being produced.
Muckety-Muck at first appears to be a small blob-like creature, but quickly forms into a large, purple, slug-like monster with a wide, drooling, gaping mouth. It has four antenna, two as asymmetrical stalked eyes with a "crazed" appearance and two tentacles above its mouth. It also has what appear to be "spines" on its back and garbage strewn throughout its body and small mushrooms growing on its head.
It is fought similarly to other Muckoids. Muckety-Muck will jump around the arena, leaving piles of sludge in its wake, and shoot blobs of sludge from its mouth. Whenever any sludge hits the floor, a Muckoid can spawn out of it and begin attacking alongside Muckety-Muck. In order to defeat it, Donkey Kong must use his Hand Slap ability to raise Salt Chunks from below the floor and throw it at Muckety-Muck, exposing its weakpoint and allowing it to be damaged, and causing the boss to reform and become more aggressive. After its health is lowered three times, the boss is defeated and access is granted to the Forbidden Layer.
Muckety-Muck is fought in the fourth round of the Bunch of Boss Battles Challenge Rush. The main platform is circular and made of Neptunite, surrounded in mud. On the Neptunite platform, two Molevoloids made of salt are summoned, serving as the player's main source of salt. Three smaller circular Neptunite platforms surround the main platform, serving as the platforms Muckety-Muck jumps on throughout the battle. Starting in the second phase, crates filled with salt fall onto the platform, which break open when they land.
