Kleever: Difference between revisions

'''Kleever''', sometimes spelled as '''Kleaver''', is a living sword and a boss in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Kleever is a cutlass with a green glowing pommel and a skeletal guard shaped like a [[Kremling]] skull. Kleever is the boss of [[Crocodile Cauldron]], the second area of [[Crocodile Isle]]. Kleever's domain is the level [[Kleever's Kiln]]. His name is a pun on the word "cleaver", which is a large broad knife.

In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', there are two different phases when fighting Kleever. During phase one, Kleever will come out of the lava being held by an arm made out of [[lava]] (this is based on King Arthur's sword Excalibur, which was held above the water by the Lady of the Lake when she presented it to the legendary king). [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must jump from one side of the battlefield to the other using several hooks while avoiding several fireballs thrown by Kleever. Once there, the [[Kong]]s must grab a nearby [[Kannonball]] and throw it at Kleever. After being hit three times by Kannonballs, phase two of the battle will begin. During phase two, Kleever will break away from the lava arm wielding it and it will fly around on its own. More hooks will fall during this phase, but once again, the Kongs can use them to get to the opposite side of the arena and throw a Kannonball that can hit Kleever. After taking six hits, Kleever explodes into shards and falls into the magma.
