Krow attacks by grabbing eggs out of his nest and dropping them. They will bounce a few times while slowly moving in the direction of the Kongs before stopping; they can also be stopped manually by jumping on them. Once the egg stops, Krow will charge at the Kongs. They can damage him by picking up the eggs and hitting him with them. After taking two hits, Krow will slam into the mast, causing eggs to fly out of the nest one by one. While most of the eggs simply fall offscreen, some of them will land on the sail, allowing the Kongs to pick them up and attack Krow again. The eggs will shatter if not picked up quickly. After four hits, Krow goes down, rewarding the Kongs with a [[Kremkoin]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, his spirit can be seen leaving his body, foreshadowing the battle with [[Kreepy Krow|Krow's ghost]] in [[Gloomy Gulch]].
In the Game Boy Advance version, like other bosses, Diddy and Dixie must pay ten [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coin]]s to [[Swanky Kong]] in order to rematch Krow at his location. After defeating Krow, the Kongs are rewarded with two blue [[Extra Life Balloon]]s.
