In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Dumb Drum is attacked by throwing a [[TNT Barrel|TNT Drum]] at it, which only appears after defeating a wave of enemies. It only tries to crush the Kongs until they throw the barrel, and if they miss, it releases the same set of enemies again.
At the start of the battle, Dumb Drum will attempt to smash [[Donkey Kong]], and his buddy [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], by floating in the air and slamming itself down on them. If Dumb Drum misses the [[Kong]]s, it will begin to release two enemies out of its body. It will release the following enemies; [[Kritter]]s, [[Slippa]]s, [[Klaptrap]]s, [[Klump]]s, and [[Army|Armies]], in that exact order. If the Kongs defeat these enemies, Dumb Drum will attempt to crush them again at a faster pace after each round and tries to do so once more for every wave beaten (ex.: after the Kritters are beaten, it will do so twice, after the Slippas, three times, etc.). In order for the Kongs to defeat Dumb Drum, they must destroy all of the enemies it releases, which somehow affects it.


In the [[Game Boy Advance]] port, the Kongs have to throw a [[TNT Barrel|TNT Drum]] (which will appear after taking out the enemies) at Dumb Drum while it tries to crush them (though it does not speed up) to damage it. It only tries to crush the Kongs until they throw the barrel, and if they miss, it releases the enemies again.

Dumb Drum, named Oil Drum on one occasion,[1] is the fifth boss in Donkey Kong Country. Dumb Drum is a giant black drum that is seemingly mechanical,[2] and it has a skull and crossbones emblem with glowing, red eyes printed on it. Dumb Drum is fought in Boss Dumb Drum, at the end of Kremkroc Industries Inc. When starting the battle, Dumb Drum will try to hit Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong by floating in the air and slamming itself down on them. If Dumb Drum misses the Kongs, it will begin to release two enemies out of its body. In the battle, Dumb Drum will release the following enemies, in order of: Kritters, Slippas, Klaptraps, Klumps, and Armies. Each time the Kongs defeat a wave of enemies, Dumb Drum will try to crush them again at a faster pace after each round, and takes another attempt for every wave beaten (e.g. after the Kritters are beaten, it will do so twice, after the Slippas, three times, etc.). Dumb Drum can be defeated by defeating all five waves of enemies, somehow causing it to self-destruct.

In the Game Boy Advance version, Dumb Drum is attacked by throwing a TNT Drum at it, which only appears after defeating a wave of enemies. It only tries to crush the Kongs until they throw the barrel, and if they miss, it releases the same set of enemies again.
