Master Necky Snr.
Master Necky Snr. is a gigantic Necky and the sixth boss of the game Donkey Kong Country. He is also the guardian of the area known as the Chimp Caverns. Master Necky Snr. is one of the most important bosses in the Kremling Krew, as he is the final obstacle before Donkey and Diddy Kong can challenge the leader of the Kremlings himself, King K. Rool.
Master Necky Snr. fights similarly to the first Master Necky. However, instead of shooting one coconut at Diddy and Donkey Kong, Master Necky Snr. shoots an increasing amount of coconuts at the Kongs. Before he is hit, Master Necky Snr. shoots only one coconut at a time. However, after he is hit the first time, Senior shoots two coconuts at a time. After two hits, he shoots three coconuts, etc. Additionally, Master Necky Snr.’s coconuts fly farther and faster than Master Necky’s coconuts.
To defeat Master Necky Snr., Donkey or Diddy must use the bouncy tire in the center of the vulture’s lair to Jump high in the air and stomp on Master Necky Snr.’s head. After five hits, Master Necky Snr. will collapse on the floor. After the battle, Donkey Kong recovers his Giant Bananas and heads to King K. Rool’s pirate ship for the final showdown.
