Thugly's Highrise is the boss level of Cliff in Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. It is the sixth overall boss level, and it is where Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong fight Thugly.
Layout[edit]
Upon entering the highrise, Thugly is shown eating bananas on its platform. Soon after, Xylobone hypnotizes him and forces him to battle the Kongs. He jumps from the platform and roars, signaling the start of the battle.
He starts out by charging and when he brakes to avoid falling off, his armor hikes up and shows his weak spot. It falls down and he turns around to charge again. Eventually, he will look around for the Kongs after stopping, extending the amount of time his weak spot is shown. Hitting it damages him and he lets out squeal. After charging several more times, he will eventually charge into a wall and then stumble back, falling and revealing his underside as rocks from the ceiling begin to fall. He squeals after being hit once again, and goes to the left side of the arena, rears his back legs, and leaps to perform a body slam, sending shockwaves. He will charge normally and eventually look for the Kongs again, leaving his weakspot defenseless. He runs to a wall, and begins stomping as stars and swirls appear. He roars as smoke, stars, and ribbons explode from him as he becomes orange.
Thugly will then jump into the middle of the arena and smash the ground, making it collapse. He and the Kongs fall on a bridge, where he runs to the other side and launches a stream of fire. His charges are faster and when he rears one of his legs and brings it down, his charges are even faster. When he does so, he hits the wall and falls back, revealing his underside once again. After being damaged several times, symbols appear once again and Thugly becomes red, repeating the same things he did when he became orange. They all fall to the ground and this time, Thugly shoots a volley of fireballs, which, upon impact with the wall, ricochet off the wall and split into smaller pieces. His battle techniques are similar to when he was orange. After Donkey Kong slams his underside with both arms, Thugly is no longer hypnotized and upon flipping, his armor flies off in midair, and it lands on his back. He is assumed to have gone to sleep, as one can hear snoring. Xylobone rises from Thugly's body and he is beaten up by Donkey Kong.
