For those of who didn't know, the Kaptain K. Rool fights in DKC2 are the 102% completion secret bosses. The original ones against him have 9 hits and easier to avoid attacks.

[RonniePace]

This is probably so long because of the DK64 fight

[kenbraden]

Is no one gonna mention that DK Jr. almost got killed by a bird.

[idislikebaguettes]

Remember when Donkey Kong was the enemy in Donkey Kong games?





Yeah, me neither.

[kazoorion]

I really miss King K Rool and the Kremlings...

[tadeogomez]

Anyone else thinks DK Country 2's final boss theme is heavenly?

[theedwardian]

DK '94 was way ahead of its day

Shame almost nobody played it

[zombiebeast]

We need a other DK game who's with me

[reginangel_official]

DK 94' really beated the GB's limits.

Final Boss Characters that appear in order of appearance:
Donkey Kong
Mario
King K Rool
Capt. K Rool
Baron K. Roolenstein and KAOS
Wizpig
King "Krusha" K. Rool
Ghastly King
Red Ghastly King (in Jungle Fever, though never shown)
Tiki Kong
BLUE GHASTLY KING (IN DK BANANA KINGDOM ARCADE ALSO NEVER SHOWN)
Lord Frederik
BOWSER CLONE (MINI MARIO FRIENDS AND AMIIBO CHALLENGES???)

Everytime I see an even number of boss characters, I kept thinking that that drives me up the wall!!!! It gets me the goosebumps everytime! Everytime I count something to an odd number, I think it's perfection!

[rxntei]

Am I the only one who wants a Jungle Beat sequel? Man I just loved playing it on my GC everyday after school when I was younger, I really liked the combat mechanic and the DK bongos.

[ATthemusician]

I wish they'd bring back K rool, he's one of my favorite Nintendo/rare characters

[UmbreonFlash]

54:55 Donkey Kong must of had something really spicy.

OMG I DONT WANT TO BE HERE WHEN IT ESCAPES

[makememadgaming]

Basically every single donkey kong game has good music, man, I love the music in gear getaway

[TKnHappyNess]

So much for Wizpig in the DS version of DKR. Due to the limitations because in the N64, you have things coming at you all over the place, especially in the throne room. Then again, using T.T. is cheap because he's the fastest character in the game

[RoseSupreme]

I think it can't be denied that DK64's was a very repetitive, severely dragged-out fight. You have to fight K. Rool as *EVERY* Kong by hitting him 4 times each with their gimmicks. Like, Jesus Christ, man.

[some_cartoonist]

Before Donkey kong country returns starts...
Diddy: Maby you should put your Bananas IN the hoard cave, this time.
DK: Ah, they'll be fine.
And before you know it, Tiki Tong (I see what you did there Nintendo. REAL clever.) and his gang steal the magic Bananas.
