'''Pompy''' is the first boss in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch port [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|of the same name]]. He is a sea lion with prominent whiskers, lavender skin and a white underbelly. He wears a stereotypical Viking helmet that resembles the ones worn by [[Pointy Tucks]]es and [[Papa Painguin]]s on his head, two wristbands on his forelegs and a collar with the [[Snowmads|Snowmad]] insignia on his neck. He is playful, cocky and quite a showoff, shown to enjoy doing flips and tricks during his battle.  
'''Pompy''', often referred to as '''Pompy, the Presumptuous''', is the first boss in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. He is the boss of [[Lost Mangroves]], fought in the level [[Big Top Bop]].  


==Physical description==
He is the boss of [[Lost Mangroves]], fought in the level [[Big Top Bop]]. After the Kongs enter Pompy's circus tent, the lights turn on, revealing a halfpipe arena with a crowd of [[Tucks]]es sitting in the background. Immediately afterwards, Pompy makes his entrance at the opposite end of the arena, diving into his half pipe. After a few loops, he lands back where he started and spots the Kongs. Preparing to fight, he has a trio of Tuckses force the Kongs into the arena as he chuckles while clapping. Pompy attacks mainly by diving at the Kongs, which they can counter by jumping on his back. When hit, he escapes into the water and starts throwing enemies at the Kongs. These are usually [[Green Finley]]s, but later [[Gordo]]s and [[Sea Urchin]]s will begin to appear. After this, he will jump back onto the stage, giving the Kongs an opportunity for another hit. For every three hits Pompy takes, he alters his attack plan, and also gradually changes color: first from gray to a more purple color, then to a dull red. During the second phase, he will begin rolling across the arena before sliding like before; while rolling, he cannot be jumped on. He will also summon several [[Big Sphen]]s to dive at the Kongs, either alongside him or while he waits in the water. During the third and final phase, Pompy will also jump onto the battlefield and target the Kongs. He will become stunned after jumping four times, at which point the Kongs can hit him again. After taking nine hits, the Kongs are able to launch a beatdown on Pompy, sending him flying and ending the fight.
Pompy is a sea lion with prominent whiskers, and wears a viking helmet, two wristbands on his hands, and a collar with the [[Snowmads|Snowmad]] insignia on his neck.

==Overview==
===''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''===
After the Kongs enter the circus tent, the lights turn on and the Kongs find themselves in front of a halfpipe arena with a huge crowd of [[Tuckses|Tucks]] sitting in the background. Immediately afterwards, Pompy makes his entrance at the opposite end of the Kongs, diving into his half pipe. After a few loops, he lands back on the opposite end and spots the Kongs. He then claps chuckling, amused at their readiness to battle him. Then, he has his underlings shove his challengers into the halfpipe (presumably to give him an advantage) before preparing to fight. He then laughs while clapping.

|image=[[File:PompythePresumptuousTrophyWiiU.png|100px]]
Pompy attacks mainly by diving at the Kongs, which they can counter by jumping on his back. When hit, he escapes into the water and starts throwing enemies at the Kongs: usually [[Green Finley]]s, but can also be [[Gordo]]s or [[Sea Urchin]]s in later stages of the fight. Afterward, he jumps back onto the stage, giving the Kongs an opportunity for attack. For every three hits that he takes, Pompy alters his attack plan (and gradually changes color) and starts rolling across the arena, requiring the Kongs to have to evade his attacks longer until Pompy starts sliding like normal again. During the second phase, Pompy will summon several [[Big Sphens|Big Sphen]] to either dive at the Kongs with him as an extra obstacle or dive at the Kongs while Pompy waits in the water. During the third phase, Pompy will also jump onto the battlefield, which stuns him for a few seconds once he lands. Pompy is defeated once he takes a total of nine hits. On the last hit, the Kongs instantly get a chance to launch a no-holds-barred-beatdown on Pompy, in which results in sending him flying.

Full name Pompy, the Presumptuous
Species Sea lion
First appearance Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (2014)
Latest appearance Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch) (2018)

Pompy is the first boss in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port of the same name. He is a sea lion with prominent whiskers, lavender skin and a white underbelly. He wears a stereotypical Viking helmet that resembles the ones worn by Pointy Tuckses and Papa Painguins on his head, two wristbands on his forelegs and a collar with the Snowmad insignia on his neck. He is playful, cocky and quite a showoff, shown to enjoy doing flips and tricks during his battle.

He is the boss of Lost Mangroves, fought in the level Big Top Bop. After the Kongs enter Pompy's circus tent, the lights turn on, revealing a halfpipe arena with a crowd of Tuckses sitting in the background. Immediately afterwards, Pompy makes his entrance at the opposite end of the arena, diving into his half pipe. After a few loops, he lands back where he started and spots the Kongs. Preparing to fight, he has a trio of Tuckses force the Kongs into the arena as he chuckles while clapping. Pompy attacks mainly by diving at the Kongs, which they can counter by jumping on his back. When hit, he escapes into the water and starts throwing enemies at the Kongs. These are usually Green Finleys, but later Gordos and Sea Urchins will begin to appear. After this, he will jump back onto the stage, giving the Kongs an opportunity for another hit. For every three hits Pompy takes, he alters his attack plan, and also gradually changes color: first from gray to a more purple color, then to a dull red. During the second phase, he will begin rolling across the arena before sliding like before; while rolling, he cannot be jumped on. He will also summon several Big Sphens to dive at the Kongs, either alongside him or while he waits in the water. During the third and final phase, Pompy will also jump onto the battlefield and target the Kongs. He will become stunned after jumping four times, at which point the Kongs can hit him again. After taking nine hits, the Kongs are able to launch a beatdown on Pompy, sending him flying and ending the fight.
