History
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Kleever is the boss of the second world, Crocodile Cauldron, and is fought at his domain, Kleever's Kiln.
There are two phases while fighting Kleever. In the first half of the battle, Kleever is held above the lava by an arm made up of fire. He attacks Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong by creating fireballs from the lava then throwing them at the Kongs. To attack Kleever, the lead Kong must pick up a kannonball and throw it at Kleever.
When Kleever takes a third hit, the second phase of the battle starts. Kleever retreats into the lava and reemerges without being held by the arm of fire. He instead moves around by hovering in midair. During this phase, Kleever tries charging into Diddy and Dixie. When the Kongs hit him with another kannonball, Kleever attempts to rapidly slashing at them for a few seconds. After taking six hits, Kleever explodes into shards and falls into the magma.
In the ending's Cast of Characters, Kleever appears under the Barnacled Bosses category.
In the Game Boy Advance version, in the boss level Stronghold Showdown, Kerozene's first two attacks is bringing out two small Kleevers to attack the Kongs. The small Kleevers are much weaker than the boss itself, and can be defeated instantly by one hit from a kannonball. The small Kleevers cannot throw fireballs and only attack by slashing rapidly either horizontally or in circles.
