==History== | ==History== | ||
[[Donkey Kong]] battles Sumo King at the end of the [[Star Fruit Kingdom]], on an asteroid field within space, where [[Earth]] can be seen in background. The battle requires quick reactions from Donkey Kong. When Sumo Kong is about to attack Donkey Kong, he must punch the side where Sumo Kong's arm is lifted. After this, Sumo Kong tries to push Donkey Kong with his hand. The player must clap to have Donkey Kong dodge or duck from Sumo Kong's attacks. Sumo Kong gets defeated after taking a few more hits, and Donkey Kong can move on to face the final boss, the [[Ghastly King]]. | |||
Sumo Kong and the other Kong bosses appear once more in the ending, during the ceremony, where they honor Donkey Kong's victory over the Ghastly King. | Sumo Kong and the other Kong bosses appear once more in the ending, during the ceremony, where they honor Donkey Kong's victory over the Ghastly King. | ||
