The source uses "The Evil Kings" as an umbrella for ''all'' the game's bosses, has a paragraph describing the four main Kong bosses, then has subheaders for the other boss types. This matches with how the manuals for both versions use "king" as a general term for the game's bosses. It's looking to me like the source was misinterpreted.

Scope[edit]

The source uses "The Evil Kings" as an umbrella for all the game's bosses, has a paragraph describing the four main Kong bosses, then has subheaders for the other boss types. This matches with how the manuals for both versions use "king" as a general term for the game's bosses. It's looking to me like the source was misinterpreted.

I agree. The fact that the name translates to Dread Kongs in Japan means that we should move these to Kong (boss group) and state somewhere that The Evil Kings describe all the bosses. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 08:57, April 22, 2022 (EDT)
Should we use "King (Kong)" or maybe "Kong (king)" instead? LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:35, April 27, 2022 (EDT)
