Scurvy Crew

The Scurvy Crew is the second boss in the game Donkey Kong Country Returns. The group is the boss of the Beach area. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong find the Scurvy Crew in an island that enjoy eating the bananas of the Banana Hoard. However, right before the Kongs could take some action, three Tikis take possession over the crew to fight against the duo.

Appearance
The Scurvy Crew is made up of three crabs, notable by having a sharp object replacing one of their claws. The yellow crab has a fork. The blue crab has a sword. Their leader, Cap'n Greenbeard, is a red crab with a blue pirate hat, a hook, an eyepatch, and a green beard.

Attacks
For the first phase, the crew attacks individually. Their only attack is moving from side to side. Occasionally, they will put their claws in the air to prevent being jumped on. As a group, the crabs will form a tower and move from side to side as well. The leader will put his claws up occasionally to prevent Donkey and Diddy Kong from stomping on them. During their third and fourth phase, their attacks are the same, but they put their claws up more often and they move faster.

Combat
To defeat the Scurvy Crew, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must jump on each crab four times. When the Scurvy Crew are fighting individually, they must be jumped on first. This will make them vulnerable to a Ground Pound, which will flip them over. They should be jumped on again for them to take damage. When fighting as a group, Donkey Kong must roll into the bottom crab while their claws are up. This will knock them over and make them vulnerable to a jump.
