| '''Colonel Pluck''' is the seventh and penultimate boss of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|Nintendo Switch]] ports. He is a white bespectacled chicken who operates a two-legged mech known as the '''Stompybot 3000'''. While Colonel Pluck is under the control of the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]], specifically being hypnotized by [[Cordian]], he is forced to mass-produce a large quantity of Tikis by using the Stompybot to mash up bananas, which transform empty masks into Tikis upon contact. | | '''Colonel Pluck''' is, together with his [[Stompybot 3000]] the seventh boss in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. He is the boss of the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] area, and is fought in the level '''Feather Fiend'''. Colonel Pluck, while inside the Stompybot, is seen stomping on [[banana]]s from [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[Banana Hoard]]. The bananas secrete a special substance, that when it comes in contact with masks, they are transformed into [[Tiki]]s. Colonel Pluck is doing his job until his hypnosis briefly wears off. The accordion [[Tiki Tak Tribe|Tiki]] hypnotizes him to continue the work, and eventually to do battle with the apes after they jump onto the assembly line. |

| He is fought at the end of [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] in the boss level, [[Feather Fiend]]. In the first phase, Colonel Pluck controls the Stompybot 3000, walking around on the conveyor belt used for Tiki assembly. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] must make their way under the mech. Occasionally, it will run across the screen quickly. Sometimes, Pluck will lift the mech into the air and then pounce on the ground. When green chains appear at some point, he will start lifting the legs into the air and back on the ground, one at a time, but very rarely will Pluck try to trick the duo by just scratching the belt with the mech's feet, which Donkey and Diddy can not go under. If Donkey and Diddy fail to damage Pluck, he will attempt to incinerate the Kongs with a flamethrower built into the mech, but not before lifting one of its legs, giving the Kongs a small chance to escape. During the second phase, Pluck will send in some eggs, where [[BuckBot]]s will hatch out. Donkey Kong must rid of these so he has enough room to avoid Pluck, who will try to use the Stompybot to body-slam him from above, resulting in the Stompybot getting stuck in the ground for a second before freeing itself. After damaging the Stompybot 3000 three times, the robot's outer shell will break off and will resemble a flying vehicle. Pluck, who still is inside the robot, will send in BuckBots at this point. Donkey Kong must dodge his attacks and stomp on Pluck three times. After this, Cordian will emerge, allowing Donkey Kong to send it flying off into the distance.

| |desc=Stomp all night, stomp all day. Colonel Pluck has been hypnotized by the Tiki Tak Tribe to mash bananas with his Stompybot 3000. Looks like they're creating new tribe members with the resulting juice. Hopefully they're peeling those bananas... Nothing worse than leftover peel in a banana smoothie.

| |desc2=He stomps stolen bananas into mush with his giant stomping machine. Why does he do it? Because the Tiki Tak Tribe are controlling him – that's why! They're using the banana mush to create new tribe members. Who knew bananas were so magical?

| | When hitting the Stompybot 3000 three times, parts of it 3000 will break off, and will resemble a flying vehicle like the [[Koopa Clown Car]]. Colonel Pluck, who still is inside the robot, will send in eggs at this point. Donkey Kong must dodge his attacks and stomp on Colonel Pluck three more times. After this, the Tiki will release itself from the vehicle's body. Donkey Kong then sends the Tiki flying off into the distance. |

| ==Notes== | | == Trivia == |
| *Colonel Pluck's name and him being a chicken might be based on Harland David Sanders, also known as {{wp|Colonel Sanders}}, the original founder of the {{wp|KFC}} chain of restaurants. | | *Colonel Pluck already ''seems'' to be hypnotized before the Kongs even met him. This was probably needed so he would, with the Stompybot 3000, stomp the bananas for the Tikis. He was hypnotized again to defeat the simian duo. |
| *The first line of Colonel Pluck's trophy description in the American English version of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' references the song "{{wp|Shake It Up (The Cars song)|Shake It Up}}" by {{wp|The Cars}}.
| | *Colonel Pluck's name might be based on Harland David Sanders, also known as ''[[wikipedia:Colonel Sanders|Colonel Sanders]]'', who is famous for being the original founder of [[wikipedia:KFC|Kentucky Fried Chicken]]. |
