'''Sassy Squatch''' is an arctic yeti-like monster and the fourth boss of ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. It is fought at the end of [[Ice World]] during the boss level, [[Sassy Squatch's Lair]]. Its name is a pun on {{wp|Bigfoot|Sasquatch}}, a legendary North American monster also known as Bigfoot. Sassy Squatch is only seen by the upper half of its body and its arms.


Sassy Squatch is found in the level [[Sassy Squatch's Lair]], located in the [[Ice World]]. Due to the fact that Sassy is completely covered in an armor of ice it was all but impenetrable to [[Donkey Kong]]'s attacks. In order to injure Sassy, Donkey had to throw bombs into sub-zero monsters mouth, all while avoiding contact with Sassy as the monster's very touch could freeze Donkey solid.
==Overview==
Sassy Squatch is completely covered in icy armor, making it immune to [[Donkey Kong]]'s attacks. To damage Sassy Squatch, Donkey Kong must throw a [[Bomb (object)|bomb]] into its mouth, which it repeatedly opens and closes. Contact with Sassy Squatch will deal one heart of damage and freeze Donkey Kong in ice for a second. If Sassy Squatch opens and closes its mouth three times, it briefly moves its torso up towards Donkey Kong. Every time Sassy Squatch is hit, it spits out several spiked ice crystals, which turn into pegs for Donkey Kong to move on to the next area. Sassy Squatch follows behind Donkey Kong as he moves up. For each hit that Sassy Squatch takes, it moves around faster.


After being blasted multiple times by Donkey, Sassy would begin to move at a faster pace and also start spitting explosive chunks of ice. After a long, grueling battle Donkey managed to take down Sassy and claim the [[DK Coin|golden medal]] the monster yeti was guarding.
Sassy Squatch is defeated after taking five hits, and Donkey Kong is rewarded with its [[Medal (DK: King of Swing)|golden medal]].
