Mangoruby

Mangoruby is the fifth boss in the game Donkey Kong Country Returns. He is the boss of the Forest area, appearing in the level Mangoruby Run. Mangoruby is seen sleeping peacefully before he is hypnotized by Panpipe Tiki.

Physical Description
While Mangoruby is normal, he has a yellow head with green leaves growing out of it. He has six pink body segments which are connected by green tubes. Mangoruby also has green leaves for arms. When hypnotized, Mangoruby's segments become yellow and electrified.

Attacks
Mangoruby mainly attacks by chasing Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong around the arena. The boss chases the Kongs through all the twists and turns and will hurt them on contact. However, the Kongs will be safe if they stand on one of the various wooden platforms throughout the arena. Occassionaly, the boss will drop a ball of electrical energy that will split up into two surges going in opposite directions. If the Kongs touch the ball of energy, they will lose a heart.

Combat
To defeat Mangoruby, Donkey and Diddy must hit all five switches on the platforms to release the light. This will weaken the Tiki's control over Mangoruby and also unelectrified him. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must then jump on its pink segments to destroy them (two at a time). This must be done three times. After this, the Tiki will release itself from the body and will be vulnerable to Donkey Kong's attack.
