It is fought in [[Seabed Showdown]], the boss level of [[Kremlantis]]. Here, the Giant Clam's main attack is spitting pearls at [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]], similarly to Clambos from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' but unlike the ones in ''Donkey Kong Land''. Unlike most Clambos, which are sessile, the Giant Clam is capable of moving through the water. The Giant Clam always shoots out pearls from the opposite corner that the Kongs are in. In order to harm the Giant Clam, Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong must trick it into shoot a pearl at a nearby diagonal, harmless sponge in a corner and then quickly move out of the way before the pearl hits them. In doing so, the pearl bounces off the sponge's shell and into the Giant Clam. Each time the Giant Clam is hit, it moves around faster and shoots pearls at a quicker pace. Once the Giant Clam takes a total of eight hits, it is defeated. Like the other bosses, defeating the Giant Clam causes three [[Banana Bunch]]es to fall from the top of the screen.
