The battle takes place in a volcanic setting. The arena has a ledge on each side and a wide [[lava]] pit in the middle. Two [[Banana Coin]]s are hidden at the top-right of the area, and they can be reached by either jumping from hooks at the top-right or by Dixie using her [[Helicopter Spin]] from the same position. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, a thunderstorm takes place in the background, complete with flashes of lightning.


At the start of the battle, Kleever rises from the lava, held by an arm made of fire. He starts out by throwing three individual fireballs at Diddy and Dixie. After this, a [[kannonball]] falls from the sky. The [[Kong]] can attack Kleever by throwing the kannonball at him. When he gets hit, Kleever glows red and shakes, and a set of hooks fall from the sky. The Kongs must jump from the hooks to go to the rightmost part of the arena, and Kleever follows them there while attempting to strike them with more fireballs. This cycle is repeated two more times.

When Kleever is hit, a set of hooks fall from the sky, and as the Kongs cross to the rightmost part of the arena, Kleever follows them there while throwing more fireballs in their direction. After a third hit, Kleever retreats back into the lava before suddenly charging back out, now hovering in midair independently, without the fiery arm. Kleever moves around faster and starts by horizontally charging himself at Diddy and Dixie, who can dodge Kleever by jumping over him. Many rows of hooks drop above the pool of lava, allowing Diddy and Dixie to cross over to the right side. Kleever uses his charging attack again, and after having another kannonball thrown at it, Kleever begins to violently slash for a few seconds. After six hits, Kleever is defeated, his blade shattered into pieces as he spins around for a few seconds before falling into the lava. Diddy and Dixie are rewarded with a [[Kremkoin]] and can continue on to [[Krem Quay]].


After taking a third hit, Kleever temporarily retreats back into the lava, and then suddenly charges out. He starts hovering in midair, no longer held by the fiery arm. During this phase of the battle, he moves around faster and uses new attacks against the Kongs. He starts by horizontally charging himself at Diddy and Dixie, who must dodge Kleever by jumping over him. Many rows of hooks drop above the pool of lava, and the Kongs must quickly cross to the right. Kleever charges at them again, and a kannonball falls onto the arena. When the lead Kong tosses the kannonball at Kleever, he starts violently slashing for a few seconds. Kleever is defeated after taking six hits, and his blade shatters into pieces as he spins around for a few seconds before falling into the lava. Diddy and Dixie are rewarded with a [[Kremkoin]].
Concept drawings show that Squawks would originally fight Kleever, and his Animal Barrel would have been hidden in an area behind the starting point. This was changed to Squawks fighting another boss instead, King Zing, in the boss level [[King Zing Sting]].

Kleever's Kiln is the boss level of Crocodile Cauldron and the place where Kleever is fought in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Kleever's Kiln takes place in a volcanic area with a ledge on each side and a wide lava pit in the middle. Two Banana Coins are hidden at the top right of the area, and they can be reached by either jumping from hooks at the top right or from Dixie using her Helicopter Spin from the same position. In the Game Boy Advance version, a thunderstorm takes place in the background, complete with flashes of lightning.

The battle starts with Kleever rising from the lava, held by an arm made of fire. Kleever throws three individual fireballs at Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong. After this, the Kongs have to throw a kannonball at it. When Kleever is hit, a set of hooks fall from the sky, and as the Kongs cross to the rightmost part of the arena, Kleever follows them there while throwing more fireballs in their direction. After a third hit, Kleever retreats back into the lava before suddenly charging back out, now hovering in midair independently, without the fiery arm. Kleever moves around faster and starts by horizontally charging himself at Diddy and Dixie, who can dodge Kleever by jumping over him. Many rows of hooks drop above the pool of lava, allowing Diddy and Dixie to cross over to the right side. Kleever uses his charging attack again, and after having another kannonball thrown at it, Kleever begins to violently slash for a few seconds. After six hits, Kleever is defeated, his blade shattered into pieces as he spins around for a few seconds before falling into the lava. Diddy and Dixie are rewarded with a Kremkoin and can continue on to Krem Quay.

Concept drawings show that Squawks would originally fight Kleever, and his Animal Barrel would have been hidden in an area behind the starting point. This was changed to Squawks fighting another boss instead, King Zing, in the boss level King Zing Sting.
