Boss Dumb Drum
At the start of the battle, Dumb Drum will attempt to smash Donkey Kong and his buddy Diddy by floating in the air and slamming himself down on them. If Dumb Drum misses the Kongs, he will begin to send enemies out of its body. He will release the following enemies; Kritters, Klaptraps (3rd in GBA), Klumps, Armies, and Slippas which are exclusively only in the GBA version which he sends out second. It reveals that the Kongs must destroy enemies four times before Dumb Drum is defeated (Five enemies in the GBA version and Dumb Drum must be defeated via TNT Barrels being thrown at it five times). If the Kongs defeat these enemies Dumb Drum will attempt to crush them again at a faster pace after each hit. In order for the Kongs to defeat Dumb Drum, they must destroy all of the enemies it releases, which somehow effects it.
