Thugly's Highrise

Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have reached the end of another world and come face-to-face with Thugly. While Thugly normally would not be a problem, the Tikis have decided to posses this large creature and use it to defeat their simian nemeses. Thugly is related to Mugly, the boss from the first area in the jungle. Therefore, many of the tactics you used to defeat Mugly will come in handy here.

Thugly will start by charging you. His back is covered by armor. However, as he skids to a stop at the arena’s edge, his armor will slide forward. This is your chance to jump up and get a hit on the beast.

After he makes his next charge, Thugly will stagger backward. Stay out of his way. Wait for him to roll over on his back and then jump onto his stomach to get in another hit.

Thugly now tries a jumping attack. He leaps high into the air and tries to land on you. Roll underneath him to get out of the way, and jump up to avoid the shock wave. Get in a third hit during one of his following charges to send the battle to the next round.

After pounding the ground and dropping the battle to a wooden platform, Thugly will spit fire at you. Duck down to avoid being roasted.

Thugly will make the same three attacks as before, along with the fire attack. Get in three hits to send the battle down to a lower area and the final round.

During this round, Thugly spits a fireball at you. The fireball splits into several smaller fireballs as it descends toward the ground. Dodge these or you will lose a heart.

Thugly continues to use the previous four attacks, and after a couple of hits on him, he will make quick charges. Get in a third and final hit to defeat Thugly once and for all. Run up and hit the Tiki as it emerges from Thugly to complete this world and unlock the next.
