Ba-Boom
Template:Character-infobox Ba-Boom, the Boisterous is the third boss in the game Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. He is the boss of Bright Savannah, appearing in the level Triple Trouble. Before the battle, the Kongs notice a Banana Bunch in the air by a wooden pole. As they try to grab it, Ba-Boom slyly snatches the bunch. He then splits into three, all of whom promptly mock the Kongs, angering them.
General information
Physical description
Ba-Boom is a black baboon with blue cheeks (like a mandrill) and messy hair. He wears a Viking helmet with the Snowmad symbol, as well as blue bracelets on his arms and legs. Ba-Boom's split selves look exactly like him, except one of them has teal cheeks and bracelets, while the other has red cheeks and bracelets.
Attacks
Ba-Boom and his "brothers" attack by swinging a rope, and swinging a hammer. When the player hits one of them at least once, the other two will start rolling. They also throw Watermelon Fuse Bombs, which can be spiky or green; the green watermelons can be thrown back at them. When two of the brothers are defeated, Ba-Boom will create shadow clones of himself, and repeat the aforementioned patterns.
Combat
To defeat Ba-Boom, the Kongs will have to damage the brothers, either by jumping on them, or by throwing their Watermelon Fuse Bombs back at them. However, the Kongs can only jump on their rear ends, as their helmets will render jump attacks on the head useless. However, this can be mitigated by using Cranky's cane jump.
Each brother can only take up to three hits, and as they take damage, their fur color becomes lighter. When one Ba-Boom member is defeated, however, the remaining members will fully heal themselves before beginning the next phase.

Trivia
- Ba-Boom uses ninjutsu in order to create two shadow clones, as evident by his usage of hand seal movements.
- When Ba-Boom performs a rolling attack, the animation and sound effect are similar to Sonic the Hedgehog's Spin Dash.
