Ghastly King

Ghastly King is the true final boss of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. He resembles Cactus King in the game. Ghastly King is fought the same way as Cactus King.

Before reaching him, Donkey Kong must go through a similar level, as he went through to fight Cactus King. However, this time, the level is much harder. His attacks are similar to that of Cactus King's, but include several new ones. The new attacks include the ability to spit balls of energy out of his mouth at Donkey Kong, as well as being able to kick him in midair. However, the balls can be destroyed by using the Sound Wave Attack.

Like the other bosses, Ghastly King has 500 HP. He can be attacked by either encountering him face to face, or by throwing him into the walls, which momentarily knocks him out and allows the player to punch him. If the player attacks him face to face, Ghastly King attacks Donkey Kong with a backhand slap, throwing him into the wall. If Ghastly is attacked enough times, he flies into the wall and is momentarily knocked out.

When Ghastly King is defeated, Donkey Kong receives 800 beats.
