VS. Grave Tusk is the boss level of the Grape Kingdom in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and the Cherry Kingdom in New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, as well as the eighth boss level in the original Nintendo GameCube version and the ninth main boss level in the enhanced New Play Control! port for the Wii. It takes place in a desert area. This level's objective is to defeat Grave Tusk.
Level layoutEdit
In this level, Grave Tusk has 500 health points. It attacks by firing three cannonballs out of its trunk in different directions and trying to suck Donkey Kong into it, the former behaving the same as Turret Tusk's behavior in the second phase of VS. Turret Tusk. Donkey Kong must stun Grave Tusk by grabbing a Blood Pine from the ground and throwing it at its trunk, causing it to suck it in and explode inside its body. This releases more Blood Pines, while it briefly exposes its heart. Donkey Kong can damage Grave Tusk further by throwing Blood Pines at its heart, where they stick into until they explode. Afterward, Grave Tusk gets back on its feet, and the cycle repeats.
After losing at least two fifths of its health, Grave Tusk will begin the second (and final) phase. Here, it will use a laser attack, which Donkey Kong should dodge by heading into a corner that the laser will fail to hit. If Donkey Kong throws enough Blood Pines at Grave Tusk's heart, it will break down, fall apart, and be defeated, and he will earn one to four crests in the original Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and one to three in the enhanced New Play Control! port for the Wii.
