Very Gnawty's Lair
Template:Level Very Gnawty's Lair is the boss level of the Kongo Jungle, the first world of the game Donkey Kong Country. The Kongs must beat the titular giant beaver Very Gnawty to progress to Monkey Mines.
Layout
As with all boss fights in Donkey Kong Country, the fight takes place in an arena filled with bananas; and if the player enters with a single Kong, a DK Barrel is instantly broken to ensure they start the fight with both Donkey and Diddy.
Very Gnawty attacks by hopping across the arena, turning only if it reaches the edges or is attacked. To attack, the player must jump on his head, causing him to gasp and then laugh at the camera (during which it is invulnerable). After each hit, Very Gnawty becomes progressively faster, and his leaps get further and higher.
To defeat Very Gnawty, Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong must Jump on him five times, at which point he gasps and collapses onto the ground, a Giant Banana falls and the lead Kong celebrates.
