Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES) Boss Battles

[@miamimagicians]

The SNES graphics are INSANE EVEN BY TODAYS STANDARDS IT LOOKS AMAZZZZING!

[@randomguy6679]

miamimagicians too bad the sound design is shit compared to the first two games

[@metalliholisti3728]

randomguy6679 Music is pretty good in DKC3. Not better than in DKC2 and DKC1 though.

[@gabeguzman]

Just like super mario rpg graphics

[@grammajam3682]

It still has an amazing ost though. It's just has the worst music in the whole series.

[@georgebradley6521]

A burping barrel, a gigantic spider, a strange waterfall slug monster, a flying war android, a deranged snowman and a freakishly big urchin.

[@nikkis.2066]

That fucking snowman and his creepy laugh, wtf Rare xD just wtf.

[@ryandiggs750]

It was funny though

[@Jdabomb93]

I love that little victory theme at the end, it makes me feel so good and accomplished. 😇

[@CrowleyRhoads]

DK, DK2, DK3 MASTERPIECES

[@logan_wolf]

It freaked me out as a kid how Belcha's eyes follow the Kongs. You can see this most clearly when you jump up and bump him in the face.

[@k-leb4671]

I love that the bosses in this game are mostly their own things - they're not just regular enemies that have been made bigger. The only exception would be Barbos, but her boss fight is unique and complicated enough to be given a pass. And sure, Belcha is based on something we've already seen plenty of times - barrels. But I actually find that to be quite interesting. Rather than make the boss based on one of the enemies you've known to beat up, make it based on something you thought would never do you wrong. This is in contrast to the previous games, which mostly had bosses that were either reused, or derived from one of the regular enemies (Queen B and King Zing in particular are just bigger Zinger sprites). Kleever was pretty unique though.

[@Issachar-northern-kingdom]

Kleever reminded me of kaos

[@blossom6309]

Donkey Kong country 3 is underrated

[@TheCodedtestament]

Of all of the Donkey Kong games, this one is definitely my favorite. This game is very fun, and the graphics are incredible for a Super Nintendo game. Sure this game can get long: you need to find all of the bonus coins, DK coins, and banana birds in order to get to the boss in the bonus world, but that makes this game fun, and ensures that you have to look extra hard to find all those bonus levels!

[@zackwyles290]

it's not a waterfall with a face, it's a slug.

[@Issachar-northern-kingdom]

I thought it was a centipede

[@Dracomut]

I’d say this is probably the best batch of bosses in the original trilogy, all are great fights and not a pallete swap to be seen

[@Maubari]

I was absolutely TERRIFIED by those bosses when I was a kid. The spider, the burping barrel, the waterfall.. I mean, WTF? Compared to the bosses in the first two games the ones in DKC3 were pretty... out of place and weird. Still think they are awesome though.

[@honarpalani7327]

They also look stupid

[@mhvkuiken9293]

Honar Palani ah you play roblox too? i do too.

[@honarpalani7327]

m h v kuiken Well put on your roblox costume and what is your account's name?

[@mhvkuiken9293]

skypilot03 and no i wanna keep my photo as profile photo and not a roblox thing i keep changing.

[@honarpalani7327]

m h v kuiken Do you know why I see people with there robloxian avatars?

[@NeoDragonCount]

I recall being kinda scared of these bosses when I was a kid. They're just so friggin' intimidating for a kids' game.

[@skittyzun]

That spider is probably angry because he wasted his money on four pairs of nikes for Squitter.

[@ShotClanTxter]

my fav out of the 3. great visuals, wasnt depressing looking like 2. very colurful game and creative bosses with a huge world

[@Luis-hp6sl]

The second one looks very beautiful, thought, a lot better than the first one.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

I agree about the bosses and the visuals. I didn't enjoy many of the levels. Many were gimmicky and tedious. Swoopy Salvo for example. Ugh.

[@kaiserknight8494]

This one is my favorite too

[@ricardohuff8774]

I like 2 and 3 more, 1 good too.

[@fullmetalgamer6062]

If only we had a better Kong to accompany Dixie.

[@drakeydrewzedragon4900]

*sees mekano* I like him he looks cool and not creepy *sees him take off his helmet* NEVERMIND

[@naoaquieopatrickpatrick8565]

@Dry Boi he's talking about KAOS

[@Issachar-northern-kingdom]

Kaos reminds me of a villain from beast wars

[@dominickrodriguez438]

in my opinion some of the greatest 2D boss battles of all time

[@DrMrProfessorPatrick]

They're being used as live batteries to power KAOS. You save them by defeating Baron K. Roolstein in the end.

[@Issachar-northern-kingdom]

K. Rool had the kind of gloves that you use to control robots at technical colleges

[@melody_1111]

I remember playing this with my dad as soon as he got home from work... 😍 aw so nostalgic! Thank you for uploading

[@plipppie8932]

all the bosses didnt really scare me as a kid, only the snowman one. holy cow

[@johnbane1711]

+Allison Taylor (DaEnglishFlyer) Really? I was scared shitless by that burping barrel. And this boss theme really get's you on your toes.

[@ShameTooShame]

@@johnbane1711 me too man XD

[@ryandiggs750]

The snowman was funny

[@Issachar-northern-kingdom]

The robot scared the crap out of me

[@solarflare9078]

As a whole, I prefer DKC3 over DKC2. It was definitely the most memorable of the series with its weird, yet inspiring bosses that weren't just bigger versions, palette swaps, or ghost versions of past enemies as well as its compelling music and level design. inb4 the DKC2 fanboys beat the shit out of me

[@metalliholisti3728]

The Mildly Shocked Sunflower [SSB4 Replays] I agree with you about boss battles. I still like DKC2's more challenging level design and music better than DKC3's. DKC3 is still awesome game and it's par with DKC1.

[@97z33]

For me: Dk3 > Dk1 > Dk2

[@brenohenrique2974]

The boss barrel got trapped forever in the hole. Very sad

[@trickso]

Isn't it weird how the sidekicks become the main characters of the next game? Like, in DKC, Diddy kong was DK's sidekick and he's the main character of DKC2. Dixie is the sidekick in DKC2 and she's the main character in 3.

[@Issachar-northern-kingdom]

Good observation on that one!

[@warioland523]

All bosses World 1: Belcha. World 2: Arich World 3: Squirt World 4: Kaos World 5: Bleak World 6: Barbos World 7: Kaos and K. Rool (regular final boss) World 8: K. Rool (true final boss)

[@Fancy_Lebowski]

Belcha and Squirt were nightmare fuel.

[@ultramaster2o1studios53]

6:45 best death ever le

[@Adeyum64]

Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha HA-HA-HA-HA-HA hA-Ha-haHAHAHAHA

[@joeltehguy]

Fighting that boss Its just having a snowball fight with him

[@LudwigVilas]

How the fuck I beat this game when I only had 6 years old

[@Sammymon]

2:22 That cute baby elephant takes on the living waterfall!

[@jackson2531]

It's not a living waterfall. Just a large slug hiding behind a waterfall.

[@Alxmir23]

when ti comes to creepy bosses,dkc 3 has the most creepy ones

[@coydog7902]

Holy crap! The graphics are insane!!!!!!!

[@raya8969]

I can make some DKC3 Boss Rush on Super Mario Maker 2 on the Nintendo Switch

[@melissarossse]

I was able to take everything as a little kid, but the one thing that scared me half to death about this game & still does to this day, is the scream Kiddy does when he gets hurt. I have chills thinking about it xD

[@krononomikon]

at the end of the razor bridge boss battle, it would've been crazy if he ended up cutting the boss in half

[@screamhardasyoucan745]

12 years

[@zzyzx0788]

Anyone notice the Barrel guy battle is basically just the battle with the red dinosaur from Super Metroid?

[@brnmadureira]

Soundtrack of this game is absolutely scary!

[@RafonesRafa]

Caramba como eu joguei esse Donkey Kong, era muito legal, bons tempos.....

[@luanaalmeida3086]

verdade saudade de quando tinha no meu pc

[@titiumeliodas9550]

Brasil

[@marcospaiva3385]

Porque hoje você não joga mais?

[@Simeautomatic100]

If you was a kid playin this when it first came out, Just imagine how this would look on the newer systems, updated and in first person mode.......

[@Dyaticedm]

Simeon Jennings Damn it would look Amazing af

[@GoGojiraGo]

The bosses and boss theme in DKC3 are so much less energetic and memorable than the ones in the previous games.

[@teddyhuge284]

If that robot try to knife me, see what happen! Am I right?

[@MistahYoungQ]

great opening song man

[@TinyGuy97]

It's a soundtrack from this game.

[@suevelasquez5822]

Lol the snowman laugh scared me when I was a kid playing!

[@Issachar-northern-kingdom]

He reminded me of frosty the snowman which put me at ease after fighting the robot boss

[@ProfessionalNamielleLewder69]

So let me get this straight: To beat Barbos, you have to strip its protection and penetrate it when its soft spot spreads open using your sword...

[@b-d9099]

Altair Salandre Altua Venomus My childhood... IT'S BURNING

[@ProfessionalNamielleLewder69]

joão pedro lima leal Not my fault they designed that boss to be one giant sex joke.

[@b-d9099]

Altair Salandre Altua Venomus Lol

[@PoorGirlism]

You... damnit what did you do to my childhood!

[@ScottRobRubin]

RARE sometimes do these things so I'm not really scandalized

[@Botakboy96]

Kaos was the coolest for me... I mean cmon, Razor sharp blades which you have to jump on just to kill him, whilst avoiding the killer death rays? What more could you want?

[@gabeguzman]

That snow man boss 😂 you could tell this was the end for the series for snes.

[@thegreenfireball897]

DKC3 bosses were wierd!

[@tubalubsplaysdestiny9612]

TheGreenFireball im sorry but nothing and i mean NOTHING will beat a floating sword from DKC2 on weirdness

[@gabeguzman]

Especially the snow man boss

[@jasong352]

Hayden Fant thought it was a knife

[@Issachar-northern-kingdom]

I didn't expect a robot in a video game based on nature and animals

[@timsilverpanda5634]

I love the boss in the water, which you defeat with...water Simply brilliant.

[@heresacaterpillarifoundinm8679]

Anyone else got creeped out by the snowman?

[@marioguy1225]

Hemor Sompsin no I'm creeped out by barbos

[@FelipeRiveraV]

Hemor Sompsin 6:45

[@johnnyweissmuller5559]

I believe Bleak was a robot. Think about it; it has a blinking light on his scarf, a cannon hat, and of course, his destruction

[@wolfiehatesgoogle]

I'm creeped by all of these bosses. They all are pretty scary tbh.

[@Ksbweapon16]

Anybody know what the hell is the deal with the thing on his neck

[@Xyonos]

this game has the most sinister looking bosses of the trilogy lol took me forever to beat barbos(and creeped me out the most) good times

[@Ken-dt9ds]

Donkey Kong Country 3 had some creepy looking bosses :/

[@sweaterandtea8157]

The 3rd boss always creeps me out, no matter what age I am now O.O

[@irregulargamer1352]

i always get shivers looking at the second. just thinking about something like that existing in any size ughhh.

[@JhonMataZombis]

BUT IT'S ONLY A GIANT SNAIL BEHIND A WATERFALL :v

[@macaulayvera7951]

That thing stopped me from enjoying waterfalls.

[@Aflay1]

I mean, you got claustrophobia, arachnophobia, and that’s just the first two boss battles. Fuck, Rareware, you scary!

[@ShadowPoet174]

When his mask flies off, he looks like a bastardized version of the Terminator... or Trollface.

[@bryceknowles1380]

Looks more like Vinnie from Space Balls

[@vitorotaka]

God what a trip back in time! Used to play this in Brazil back in 1997. By that time I didn't even know how to speak english! Thanks for sharing!

[@Jilksy101]

bleak for some reason always reminded me of danny devito's penguin from batman

[@HullumpiEsa]

I remember Barbos as the most annoying boss. First time I played I was like ''how are you supposed to hit that? how the hell can I win this?'' then my cousin showed how Barbos was supposed to complete. God, I remember being amazed and yelling ''no way! this has three phases!?!'' :D

[@Veence1987]

Thanks for reminding me that this game still exist! I'm off to play it now.

[@Issachar-northern-kingdom]

So what did you think?

[@L33TRedNinja]

Bleak reminds me of this one flash game I played some years back.

[@Sammymon]

0:39 The Barrel has a cavity 2 to be exact. Better brush'em next time!

[@Wesley_C]

These bosses are masterpiece and boss levels are atmosphere.

[@kimorarobinson9137]

The one with the face and the waterfall is a large rock snail named Squirt.

[@ObeseChess]

They're not making 'em like this anymore.

[@miamimagicians]

The graphics in this game are amazing, really breathtaking!

[@EricKoonGaming]

The Actual Names: 1-Belcha 2-Arich 3-Squirt 4-KAOS 5-Bleak 6-Barbos 7Final-KAOS & Baron K. Roolestein 8Bonus-Baron K Roolestein 2 Hope this Helped!

[@RizenLink]

Thanks for uploading these :) This DKC was MUCH easier than the first 2 but still fun.

[@skeith804]

The lightning level was a bit tough though. >

[@robotron6420]

This one was on middle between the 1 and 2 in terms of difficulty

[@masonmoreno4033]

3:34 he is like a android

[@jackson2531]

In a way, yes.

[@daisyhenriquez2867]

A mean one

[@Issachar-northern-kingdom]

I would say maybe a drone

[@feferbrXD]

i love boss musics

[@JulioPhysique]

The Music is simply amazing!

[@Fuhiro3]

It's really weird watching this after playing the GBA version all my life.

[@Relicanth]

Belcha was a freaking pushover, Arich scared me because I had a fear of spiders, but he was easy too, and whatever Squirt was supposed to be wasn't too bad either - but after that the battles got a little tricky. Took me forever to get by Barbos, I wasn't a good swimmer.

[@derpnip]

yes, well for one it's odd they had challenging bosses for two but then go back to easy, this looks like a step in the opposite direction after the found a good formula. second i liked how in donkey kong 2 they were actually scared of the boss instead of just saying "ya okay"

[@GregorasProject]

A masterpiece. I remember playing this when I was little. I personally think this game might be superior to DKC1 (however the music and nostalgia trip I get from the first is far greater than this one).

[@Pugslee3]

Maybe true, but I still love it for its uniqueness and classic characters, levels and kick ass music!

[@thugstation]

I love how he was sticking that oyster right in the eye... LOL 🤣

[@jackson2531]

Barbos is based on a sea urchin, not an oyster.

[@felipesantiagolucas]

@@jackson2531 oyster is in DKC1 water levels

[@Issachar-northern-kingdom]

​@@felipesantiagolucasnope. It's a clam

[@Uborpriest]

Bosses were always easy in DKC, but this one had the hardest ones

[@ryandiggs750]

They was a fair challenge

[@justme333555]

Would you be referring to the bosses from previous Donkey Kong Country games? I haven't played Donkey Kong Country 2, but I found most of the bosses in the first game very easy.

[@JeriDro]

your right that was a typo I meant "it didn't seem to fit". sorry for the misunderstanding

[@ChronoDA]

Yes, it is on the VC. All three games are.

[@masonmoreno4033]

8:30 wat is that?

[@SwaggyP55]

The boss battle with the damn Elephant, god I never played the SNES version of DK3 but on the GBA I didn't know what to do and I swear I was stuck on that one for like a month for not knowing what to do.

[@artforus]

love your videos man

[@MitchLeonard-tu3kg]

Snowman ⛄️

[@skippythewonderhorse]

K3's boss always reminded me of the Penguin from Batman.

[@turbostacy]

Wow. These bosses are ridiculous hahaha. Everything in DKC2 was so dark and menacing.

[@Brand-pn5yz]

did the face on wall behind waterfall scared anybody or creeped anyone out?

[@cavedwarf91]

awesome childhood memories^^ thank you for this :)

[@LostKitty64x]

I love this but you did not manage to show off squirt's two wave attack. The one where he squirts two seperate water jets that are opposite to eachother.

[@freddywilliams9837]

I don't know... the bosses seemed weaker than in donkey kong country 2, cause that game had bosses like a possessed sword and a ghost crow, whereas this game had a burping barrel and a waterfall with a face.

[@Avirosb]

No way was that sword more intimidating than a barrel with bloodshot eyes.

[@KennethMoreland]

***** Um yes way. We didn't get to see who was wielding that sword. So DKC2 > DKC3

[@Avirosb]

KennethMoreland We didn't get to see who was inside that barrel either. Intimidating!

[@kingdedede7358]

+Avirosb -_- he's was easy AF.

[@isabellafelipedeoliveiraca6698]

+Beerus My theory is that no one was ever wielding Kleever - Kleever was just a sentient sword that could manipulate fire and lava and thus created that fake lava arm to give the impression that it was being wielded by someone and look even scarier.

[@nv6834]

3rd boss reminds me of the Chicago Millennium Park squirting statues hahahaha!

[@matiasignaciopalmacontrera5132]

Belcha Barns: Es muy fácil de derrotarlo porque bota unos barriles con unos insectos adentros, que después tienes devolverlos haciéndole tragaperras arruinando sus dientes. Aracne: Tienes que tomar un barril y golpearlo en la cabeza unas pocas veces derrotando lo en el acto. Mekano: Debes golpearlo en la cabeza evitando su enorme navaja junto que después se separa de su cuerpo la cabeza para eliminarte; luego tienes que noquearlo. Ojos De Agua: Debes transformarte en elefante para aspirar su agua varias veces porque debes tirarle en los ojos dejándolo ciego. Muñeco De Nieve: Debes arrojarlo varias bolas de nieve en el corazón evitando su sombrero que arroja enormes bolas de nieves; después debes preparar una estrategia para derrotarlo desde lejos. Coraza Mortal: Debes herirlo.

[@FirstPersonSTFU]

Not gonna lie. All of these bosses scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.

[@xardennamikaze3960]

HA! The snowman is the penguins cousin. Lol!

thanks for this helpful boss video upload

[@BazookaPig]

Regarding the tree boss that shoots water, how the hell do I shoot using the elephant??? Nothing works for me

[@afficial83]

wow, as soon as I saw the waterfall/slug boss, I thought it resembled some bosses in the wizards and warriors games on the NES, more specifically Ironsword. Then it dawned on me those games were also made by Rare. Was this a throwback? hmmm

[@M1XART]

Those boss battles definitely were even N64 quality.

[@peevin7836]

GOD THE NOSTALGIA!

Doesnt The First Boss Act like Crocomire?
