Ba-Boom

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed soon.

Ba-Boom, the Boisterous is the third boss in the game Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. He is the boss of Bright Savannah, appearing in the level Triple Trouble. Before the battle, the Kongs notice a Banana Bunch in the air by a wooden pole. As they try to grab it, Ba-Boom snatches the bunch while mocking them. He then summons his twin brothers, whom also mock the Kongs, angering them.

General Information

Physical Description

Ba-Boom is a black baboon with blue cheeks and messy hair. He wears a hat with the Snowmad symbol as well as blue bracelets on his arms and legs. Ba-Boom's brothers look exactly like him except one of them has light-blue cheeks and bracelts while the other has red cheeks and bracelets. Another way to tell the brothers apart is that as they take damage, their fur gets lighter, while the true Ba-Boom's color stays the same. However, no matter which one gets attacked, any of the three could show light blue fur.

Attacks

Ba-Boom and his brothers attack by swinging in a rope and attacking with a hammer. When the player damages them, two of them start to roll. Also, they throw explosive watermelons, which can be spiky or green; the green watermelons can be thrown back at them. In the last moment of the battle, all three brothers will begin swinging and throw spiky watermelon bombs.

Combat

To defeat Ba-Boom and his brothers, the Kongs will have to damage the trio nine times, either by jumping on them, or by throwing the watermelon bombs at them. The Kongs can only jump on Ba-Boom's rear, however, as his helmet will render jump attacks on the head useless (except Cranky's Cane jump).

Trivia

• Despite being baboons, Ba Boom and his brothers also have the cheek markings of a mandrill.
  • Due to his facial markings and overall features, Ba-Boom may be an homage to Rafiki, a character in Disney animation The Lion King of the same appearances.
• When performing a rolling attack, he makes a sound similar to Sonic the Hedgehog's spin dash.
