VS. Dread Kong is the boss level of the Banana Kingdom in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, as well as the first boss level overall. It takes place on a large branch in the treetops at night, with several Helper Monkeys all holding torches in the background. This level's objective is to defeat Dread Kong.
Level layout[edit]
In this level, Dread Kong has 500 health points. He attacks slowly by punching. This gives Donkey Kong plenty of time to avoid his attacks and counter. Each punch does ten deals of damage in the original Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and 100 in the enhanced New Play Control! port for the Wii. Likewise, Donkey Kong can get two punches on the boss before he readies his attack. Throughout the entire level, if Donkey Kong attacks Dread Kong right when he is about to punch, the former can perform an uppercut to stun the latter, allowing for many punches.
After losing at least two fifths of his health, Dread Kong will begin the second (and final) phase. Here, his attacks are quicker and stronger, and he dodges all punches until Donkey Kong successfully avoids one. If Donkey Kong deals damage to defeat Dread Kong, the former will earn one to four crests in the original Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and one to three in the New Play Control! version.
