Wild Sting

Wild Sting is the name of a stingray that appears in the Game Boy video game, Donkey Kong Land. He is the game's very first boss, found at the end of Gangplank Galleon Ahoy!, in the level, Wild Sting Fling. Strangely, this underwater creature is able to float above land. Wild Sting resembles that Floatsam of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and could be the inspiration for them.

During the battle against Wild Sting, the foe will swoop down and attempt to attack the Kongs. At that time, the heroes should jump up and land on him. This will damage the enemy, but he won't yet be knocked out. Wild Sting will continue to swoop at the monkeys, going back and forth. They must bounce on him again to deal more damage, although that will still not at all faze the villain. As they continue to jump on him, Wild String will become even angrier, and swoop at them much faster than before, making even harder to land on him. Finally though, when the Kongs bounce on him for the seventh time, he'll fall off the stage and the heroes will win the battle. After that, three Banana Bunches will fall from the sky, which the monkeys should catch before the level ends.
