-'''Boss Keys''' are items that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. There are eight of them, and as its name implies, each one is guarded by a boss. The only Boss Key that is not guarded by a boss is the final one, which is located behind a steel door in K. Rool's throne room in [[Hideout Helm]]. Each Boss Key's purpose is to unlock a corresponding padlock on [[K. Lumsy]]'s cage. Doing so causes K. Lumsy to boisterously celebrate, and he creates a tremor to cause an event to occur on [[DK Isles]], usually opening previously-blocked entrances to other worlds. He is freed from his cage after the [[Kong]]s unlock all eight padlocks on his cage.
+'''Boss Keys''' are [[List of items|items]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' that each unlock one of the numbered padlocks of [[K. Lumsy]]'s cage. There are eight Boss Keys, and as their name suggests, each is guarded by a boss. The [[Kong]]s can obtain each one by defeating a boss, except the eighth and final one, which is located in [[Hideout Helm]], behind a steel door in [[King K. Rool]]'s throne room. The [[Nintendo Coin]] and [[Rareware Coin]] are both needed to open it. [[Army Dillo]] and [[Dogadon]] are fought twice, which means each of them carry two Boss Keys.
+After opening a padlock, K. Lumsy boisterously celebrates and causes a heavy tremor. This usually opens previously-blocked entrances to other levels. After using all eight Boss Keys, the cage containing K. Lumsy lifts, and he is freed.
+Obtaining Key 8 in a certain way might prevent it from saving to the inventory. If the Kongs revisit Hideout Helm, the Boss Key respawns.<ref>Exchord. (May 5, 2014). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_w8-QC-rW0 Avoiding Fake Key]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved September 19, 2023.</ref>
