A '''Boss Key''' is an item in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. There are 8 boss keys in total, all obtained by defeating a level boss, with the exception of the eighth, which is found at the end of [[Hideout Helm]]. The bosses of each level are accessed by the [[Troff]] and [[Scoff]] rooms and the final one can only be accessed if the player has obtained both the [[Nintendo Coin]] and [[Rareware Coin]]. The boss keys are used to help free [[K. Lumsy]], resulting in opening new levels and completing the game.

The only Boss Key that is not guarded by a boss is the final one, which is located behind a steel door in K. Rool's throne room in [[Hideout Helm]]. Each Boss Key's purpose is to unlock a corresponding padlock on [[K. Lumsy]]'s cage. Doing so causes K. Lumsy to boisterously celebrate, and he creates a tremor to unlock previously-blocked entrances to other worlds.

The only Boss Key that is not guarded by a boss is the final one, which is located behind a steel door in K. Rool's throne room in Hideout Helm. Each Boss Key's purpose is to unlock a corresponding padlock on K. Lumsy's cage. Doing so causes K. Lumsy to boisterously celebrate, and he creates a tremor to unlock previously-blocked entrances to other worlds.
