To attack Skowl, the Kongs must jump on a summoned Hootz to flip it over and pick it up. They must then throw it at Skowl to damage him, especially before he attempts his ramming attack. To hit Skowl an eighth time, the Kongs must wait until Skowl falls out of one of the falling eggs. Skowl will then lose his helmet and be temporarily stunned, which will allow the Kongs to jump on his head and damage him. Skowl is defeated after taking nine hits in total. | To attack Skowl, the Kongs must jump on a summoned Hootz to flip it over and pick it up.

*Skowl has | *Skowl has many similarities to [[Hoo]] from ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They are both the second boss of their respective games, both are owls, both release eggs that spawn smaller owl-like enemies, both are fought atop a tree, and both fly for the majority of the battle. | ||
*Skowl's boss battle also shares similarities with [[Krow]] and [[Kreepy Krow]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Much like Krow, Skowl attacks by dropping eggs onto the Kongs, who then throw the eggshell-wearing Hootz back at the avian boss to damage him. Similarly to Kreepy Krow, Skowl summons its smaller Hootz brethren to attack the Kongs, and the battle takes place on three floors that the Kongs must ascend. | *Skowl's boss battle also shares similarities with [[Krow]] and [[Kreepy Krow]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.
