Rool]] created and operated by two [[Kritter]]s. It is the boss of [[Creepy Castle]] and serves as the seventh and penultimate boss of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. King Kut Out is made up of four parts: a head, torso, left arm, and right arm.


After the Kongs managed to open the boss door in Creepy Castle they ventured inside. Unfortunately for the [[Kritter]]s on the other-side of the door there was no one to guard the [[Boss Key]] kept by the two of them. At the last minute the Kritters managed to build a poorly constructed cardboard cut-out of K. Rool. This fake K. Rool could somehow fire lasers from it's forehead, pop-up all over the place and it also has a high pitched crazy laugh that either comes from the cut-out itself or a nearby, hidden loudspeaker. As backup King Kut Out will sometimes send [[Kritter-in-a-Sheet|Kritters disguised as ghosts]] to attack the Kongs, explosive [[Puftup]]s also prowl the waters surrounding the battle arena.
He is created by two [[Kritter]]s hastily made at the last minute since they did not have a stronger character to guard the seventh [[Boss Key]]. The battle begins just as King Kut Out appears at one of the wall sides of a castle-like arena. [[Lanky Kong]] is the [[Kong]] chosen to fight King Kut Out, though he can be swapped out for a different character from the [[Tag Barrel]] in the center of the arena. King Kut Out constantly appears from one wall to the next before reversing direction. King Kut Out makes an "Aha!" sound just right when it appears from the next wall. King Kut Out shoots four lasers at the active Kong every two sides it appears from. King Kut Out can be attacked from the Kong blasting at it from one of the four cannons in the arena. After a third hit, King Kut Out's right arm breaks off. Following this, a decoy of King Kut Out also appears in the arena, always appearing from the wall opposite of King Kut Out, but can be differentiated from being darker and not being able to shoot lasers. If the Kong's timing is off while blasting from a cannon, they are forced of the arena and cannot re-enter, including if they launch at the duplicate. In this case, the next Kong appears from the Tag Barrel automatically, in a default order of: [[Tiny Kong]], [[Chunky Kong]], [[Donkey Kong]], and lastly [[Diddy Kong]]. If every Kong blasts out of the arena, they lose the fight. After three more hits, King Kut Out's left arm breaks off and it moves even faster by going from one wall to the next in about a second. King Kut Out is destroyed after another three hits, for a grand total of nine, and its head breaks off, then the Boss Key appears in the arena.


In order to combat King Kut Out the Kongs must use the nearby [[Barrel Cannon]]s to blast into the cut-out. If the shot of the cannon doesn't hit King Kut Out, then that Kong can no longer be used in the fight. Three hits caused the poorly constructed boss's left arm to rip off. Three more hits made the right arm rip off. After that, King Kut Out began to pop-up and down at a much faster rate and make a holographic and shadowy decoy of itself. The player must identify where King Kut Out will be when, then enter the correct canon. If timed correctly, The player will Hit King Kut Out. The last 3 hits made King Kut Out's head rip off, leaving the Kritters with no other alternative but to run away. The Kongs therefore, claimed the Boss Key of Creepy Castle.

King Kut Out,[1] also referred to as Cardboard K. Rool,[2] is a giant crude cardboard cut-out of King K. Rool created and operated by two Kritters. It is the boss of Creepy Castle and serves as the seventh and penultimate boss of Donkey Kong 64. King Kut Out is made up of four parts: a head, torso, left arm, and right arm.

He is created by two Kritters hastily made at the last minute since they did not have a stronger character to guard the seventh Boss Key. The battle begins just as King Kut Out appears at one of the wall sides of a castle-like arena. Lanky Kong is the Kong chosen to fight King Kut Out, though he can be swapped out for a different character from the Tag Barrel in the center of the arena. King Kut Out constantly appears from one wall to the next before reversing direction. King Kut Out makes an "Aha!" sound just right when it appears from the next wall. King Kut Out shoots four lasers at the active Kong every two sides it appears from. King Kut Out can be attacked from the Kong blasting at it from one of the four cannons in the arena. After a third hit, King Kut Out's right arm breaks off. Following this, a decoy of King Kut Out also appears in the arena, always appearing from the wall opposite of King Kut Out, but can be differentiated from being darker and not being able to shoot lasers. If the Kong's timing is off while blasting from a cannon, they are forced of the arena and cannot re-enter, including if they launch at the duplicate. In this case, the next Kong appears from the Tag Barrel automatically, in a default order of: Tiny Kong, Chunky Kong, Donkey Kong, and lastly Diddy Kong. If every Kong blasts out of the arena, they lose the fight. After three more hits, King Kut Out's left arm breaks off and it moves even faster by going from one wall to the next in about a second. King Kut Out is destroyed after another three hits, for a grand total of nine, and its head breaks off, then the Boss Key appears in the arena.
