'''Ba-Boom''' is the third boss | '''Ba-Boom, the Boisterous''' is the third boss in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. It is a trio of baboon brothers serving as the bosses of [[Bright Savannah]], appearing in the level [[Triple Trouble]]. Before the battle, the [[Kong]]s notice a [[Banana Bunch]] in the air by a wooden pole. As they try to grab it, a baboon slyly snatches the bunch. He then splits into the three members of Ba-Boom, all of whom promptly mock the Kongs, angering them. | ||

The three look exactly alike except for the color of their cheeks and bracelets, being blue, teal and red. | ||

The | The three monkeys move quickly, often relying on his speed to attack. The Ba-Boom brothers attack by swinging a rope, and swinging a hammer. They can all perform a rolling attack, though they end up getting dizzy and vulnerable at the end of it. They also throw [[Watermelon Fuse Bomb]]s, which can be spiky or green; the green watermelons can be thrown back at them. A baboon can also call his siblings to his side if they are not defeated. When two of the brothers are defeated, the remaining baboon will summon weaker specters of them, and repeat the aforementioned patterns. The baboon and these ghosts also swing back and forth in a chain formation while tossing bombs and the specter at the bottom of the chain sometimes swinging a hammer. | ||

To defeat Ba-Boom, the Kongs will have to damage the brothers, either by jumping on them, or by throwing their Watermelon Fuse Bombs back at them. However, the Kongs can only jump on their rear ends, as their helmets will render jump attacks on the head useless. However, this can be mitigated by using [[Cranky Kong]]'s [[Cane Bounce]]. They are more vulnerable when on the ground and can be rolled into. | To defeat Ba-Boom, the Kongs will have to damage the brothers, either by jumping on them, or by throwing their Watermelon Fuse Bombs back at them.

Each brother can only take up to three hits, and as they take damage, their fur color becomes lighter.
