Kudgel

Kudgel is a large, over-muscular, club weilding Kremling and a boss in the game Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

Kudgel is the boss of the the third area of Crocodile Isle, Krem Quay. Kudgel is fought in the level "Kudgel's Contest". Kudgel attacks Diddy and Dixie Kong by leaping up through the air and trying to smash down on them. The Kongs must carefully dodge Kudgels leaps and leap whenever Kudgel land as he will send out a shockwave that can stun the Kongs, leaving them open to attack.

After a few jumps Kudgel will land and swing his club, this will cause a TNT Barrel to land that the Kongs can throw at Kudgel. The TNT Barrel must be thrown at Kudgel quickly or Kudgel will jump away.

Everytime Kudgel is hit with a TNT Barrel he will jump progressively lower and faster.

After being hit with several TNT Barrels Kudgel will be blasted into the nearby swampy water of Krem Quay where he apparently perished.

Trivia

 * Oddly Kudgel does not reappear in Donkey Kong Land 2, an almost direct remake of Donkey Kong Country 2. Kudgel not appearing is probably because of the GameBoy's (which ''Donkey Kong Land 2 was on) limitations.


 * It has been speculated by some that Klubba, the guardian of the Lost World is Kudgel's brother. This is due to the fact that aside from coloration, Klubba being green and Kudgel being grey the characters are completely identical.


 * There is a glitch in the GBA version of Donkey Kong Country 2 that causes Kudgel to freeze when he is falling after being defeated; this also causes his sound effects to play continuously, even after exiting to the world map (entering a stage or bringing up the menu on the world map will stop the sound effect). A video of this glitch, along with additional detals, can be veiwed at YouTube. 1
