"Well, I certainly didn't expect THAT." -Cranky Kong, as well as anyone else who played the SNES original first

[steveluvscows]

Cranky: "Well done! I sure didn't expect that. Go to K.Rool's airship and rescue DK."
Cranky's mind: "Those darned developers... They completely ruined this level's ambience. Back in the day, this level was only a cutscene meant to trick the player into thinking the game was over!"

[BluesDark]

So that's the "Mystery Hand" that was in "Kleavers Kiln"! Didn't think he'd come out completely.

[Kazmahu]

I don't hate the idea of surprise new bosses like this, but the animation on this thing is so undercooked Gordon Ramsey would be screaming about it.

[maximus]

You can really tell that this guy was not designed by rare. Great boss, not so great face.

[toainsully]

This would have been great as a secret boss in the SNES game

[adaveo]

At least it actually takes place on the roof of the castle this time

[mlpfan]

Kerozene is a great boss but I wish they could have done Mr X who was going to be in the gloomy gulch as a boss before getting replaced by Kreepy Krow

[Dimburton]

I honestly prefer how the snes original handled the stronghold showdown area

[markmaasch]

I didn’t know they put a boss level from GBA.

[jonathanpowell]

This boss = my first geology exam in a nutshell

[rahnal]

If all 3 Donkey Kong Country are remade and remastered for Ninteno switch or onward, I sure hope they add kerozene and it’s world

[zacharylandreneau]

That's not a crocodile! That's an f-wording DRAGON!

[robbarbour]

That could explain why the target store warned players that it's rated E for fantasy violence and comic mischief, if I'm not mistaken. 😄

[IDyce]

i kind of wish kerozene had been the boss of creepy castle in DK 64 instead of that stupid King Kut Out boss. i mean they have repeated some villains before...like king gnawty was fought twice...and so was Krow...technically.

[General_C]

This is a great boss.
Why wasnt he on the SNES edition?

[SoraFan]

This boss wasn't in the original SNES version. Maybe it was a scrapped boss they had planned.

Wish he could've been in the SNES version back in 95. I wonder if he ever was planned to be in the game back. Probably didn't have enough time to impliment him before release!

[maxthompson]

OK, but in all seriousness, why does this boss only appear in the GBA version of DKC2?
Was he scrapped for whatever reason?
I’m genuinely curious.
