===Physical description===
While Mangoruby is normal, it has a yellow head with green leaves growing out of it, resembling a mango. It also has purple eyes with black pupils and its eyelids resemble bright yellow flowers when open and purple buds when closed. Its eyes are also very sensitive to light. Mangoruby also has green leaves for arms. It has a long vine-like body with 6 radish-like body segments. These segments have the ability to release electricity to attack its enemies. It also has a tail fin made out of leaves that regenerates itself every time it dives into the water after having lost a body segment.

===Attacks===
===Attacks===
Mangoruby mainly attacks by chasing [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] around the arena (which only happens after the player hits the first switch, or else it will not show up). The boss chases the [[Kong]]s through all the twists and turns and will hurt them on contact (although sometimes it starts shaking, moving slowly while sweating and making a cracking sound for a few seconds before speeding up again). However, the Kongs will be safe if they stand on one of the various wooden platforms throughout the arena. Occasionally, the boss will drop a ball of electrical energy that will split up into two surges going in opposite directions. If the Kongs touch the ball of energy, they will lose a heart. Each time Mangoruby loses a segment, it moves faster.

===Combat===
===Combat===
To defeat Mangoruby, Donkey and Diddy must hit all five switches on the platforms to release the light and cause Mangoruby to deactivate its electricity. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must then jump on its pink segments to destroy them (two at a time). This must be done three times. After this, Wacky Pipes will release itself from the body and will be vulnerable to Donkey Kong's attack.

*Mangoruby appears to be sensitive to light, as when the light is released, Mangoruby closes its eyes and only reopens them when hit or when the lights are blocked.
*If the player times it just right, and is extremely lucky, they can end up escaping a hit if Mangoruby goes over them and they are flush with the surface of the floor.<ref>https://youtu.be/9DVbv68l1tI?t=752</ref>
