Overview
Like with other Donkey Kong boss levels, Donkey Kong has four lives and the amount of lives the player has is dependent on how many Mini-Marios were collected in the previous level. If the player selects this stage from the level select screen, they will begin with four lives. Donkey Kong attacks by throwing down barrels and lava rocks, which bounce down the platforms towards the ground. The player will need to either avoid the lava rocks, or deflect them with a Handstand. When tossing barrels, Donkey Kong will rotate between tossing a barrel that flips up and down as it falls, one that rolls on its side as it falls, and then throwing a barrel directly downward. Barrels that flip up and down and barrels that are thrown downward will always land upright, but barrels that roll on their side will fall offscreen. However, barrels that roll sideways can be deflected upright with a Handstand. Once a barrel lands upright, the player can pick it up and throw the barrel at Donkey Kong when they are on one of the higher platforms. The player needs to attack Donkey Kong with barrels four times in order to clear the boss level. After attacking Donkey Kong four times, he will leave and the player will enter Spooky House (Merry Mini-Land in the Nintendo Switch remake).
