"Blast-O-Matic" is one of the answers available for the sixth question.</ref> is a powerful laser-firing weapon developed by the [[Kremling]]s under [[King K. Rool]]'s orders in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. It comprises a majority of K. Rool's ship, [[Crocodile Isle (Donkey Kong 64)|Crocodile Isle]]. This machine is powered by a central core, which is connected to five rooms, each with its own colored power generator; the color for each power source corresponds to one of the five [[Kong]]s. The device is capable of firing a laser from three brass rings surrounding a metal arrowhead pole. The arrow of the machine comes out from the belly of Crocodile Isle. | ||

Rool did not trust him.<ref>{{cite|quote=I was the chief technician on the project, but that double-crossing lizard kicked me off [[Kremling Krew|his team]] because he didn't trust me.|author=[[Snide]]|title=''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''|publisher=Nintendo|date=1999}}</ref> Snide had lost access to the weapon's [[blueprint]]s, which K. Rool split apart and handed a piece to each of the [[Kasplat]]s. | ||
During the game itself, the Blast-o-Matic is first seen during the opening scene, where K. Rool is headed to [[DK Isles]], plotting to blast it with the Blast-o-Matic. However, as Crocodile Isle steers quickly on the water, it hits a rock, breaking the Blast-o-Matic. The Kremlings work on repairing the machine for a large portion of the [[Kong]]s' adventure, having stolen [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Golden Banana]]s and kidnapped [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], [[Lanky Kong|Lanky]], [[Tiny Kong|Tiny]], and [[Chunky Kong|Chunky]] to buy time to do so. A cutscene shown when entering [[Gloomy Galleon]] for the first time shows K. Rool telling a Kritter, the Blast-o-Matic's new chief technician, that he trusts the Blast-o-Matic to almost be ready for activation. The Kritter says the machine is unfinished, and in response, K. Rool sends out [[Klaptrap]] guards to ensure that the Kritters do not escape until they finish repairing the machine. A cutscene shown when first entering [[Creepy Castle]] features a Kasplat trying to escape from Crocodile Isle in hopes that K. Rool does not discover the Kongs recovering the blueprints to the Blast-o-Matic, also deeming it a "stupid machine". When entering [[Hideout Helm]], the Kongs set off the Isle's alarm system, forcing K. Rool to activate the weapon, ignoring the chief technician who begs for a few more hours to fully test it before firing, fearing that the Blast-o-Matic may explode and destroy them all. The Blast-o-Matic has to be deactivated within the time limit, which varies depending on how many blueprints that the Kongs have recovered for Snide (one minute for each blueprint, up to a total of 50 minutes). Deactivating the machine requires each Kong to complete two [[Bonus Barrel]] challenges just outside their corresponding power source. Failure to shut down the Blast-o-Matic in time (or choosing "Quit Game" from the Pause Menu) results in a Game Over cinematic where K. Rool laughs madly and presses a few buttons to activate the Blast-o-Matic. The sequence stops while it is pointed at DK Isles. | |||
The Blast-o-Matic was named the "Super Gun" in a [[List of Donkey Kong 64 pre-release and unused content|prototype build]] of ''Donkey Kong 64''.<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Proto:Donkey Kong 64/Early Script#Snide|Proto:Donkey Kong 64/Early Script]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=June 9, 2017}}</ref> | |||

*Elements of the Blast-o-Matic's design resemble the [[jiggywikki:Big-O-Blaster|Big-O-Blaster]] from ''{{wp|Banjo-Tooie}}'', and even had a similar purpose and naming convention. As both ''Donkey Kong 64'' and ''Banjo Tooie'' were created by Rare within the same time period, the similarity was most likely intentional. | |||
