'''Troff 'N' Scoff''' is a location found in every world of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' except [[Hideout Helm]]. As the name suggests, it features [[Troff]] and [[Scoff]], who act as the gatekeepers to fighting each world boss. To enter the location, the Kongs must enter a portal depicting a headshot of both characters.

To enter the location, the Kongs must enter a portal depicting a mugshot of both characters.


== Description ==
Troff 'n' Scoff takes place inside an enclosed, symmetrical room with a large door leading to the world boss. Troff stands on a platform to the left, while Scoff stands on one to the right. There is a [[Tag Barrel]] to the left of the entry portal. A large panel depicting Scoff's head is located directly south of the entrance, and it is surrounded by five smaller panels that each depict an icon of a Kong's head (or a question mark if a Kong is yet to be rescued). The panels are optional as they display the total number of Bananas that each Kong has in the current world. The large door is locked by a silver lock, which is out of Troff's reach. As a result, the Kongs must stand on a Banana Pad, where they must feed a certain number of [[banana]]s to Scoff to increase his weight. The remaining number to feed him is displayed on the large boss door, and it gradually decreases with each Banana fed to him. After the Kong feeds all of their bananas, Scoff belches and then stomps on his platform, elevating Troff's platform. If the door number is marked with a zero, Scoff becomes large enough to elevate Troff to the lock, allowing him to unlock it. By doing so, the boss door cycles between the head icons of the five Kongs before stopping on the one who must fight the boss. The door is only open to the Kong chosen, because if the other four Kongs attempt to enter, the door shuts on them.

Troff 'N' Scoff takes place inside an enclosed, symmetrical room with a large door leading to the world boss. There are two platforms: Troff is standing on the left one and Scoff is standing on the right one. A [[Tag Barrel]] floats to the left of the entry portal. A large panel depicting Scoff's head is located directly south of the entrance. It is surrounded by five smaller panels that each depict an icon of a Kong's head (or a question mark if a Kong has not been rescued yet). The panels are optional as they display the total number of Bananas that each Kong has in the current world.


The large door is locked by a silver lock, which is out of Troff's reach. As a result, the Kongs must stand on a Banana Pad, where they must feed a certain number of [[Banana]]s to Scoff to increase his weight. The remaining number to feed him is displayed on the large boss door, and it decreases by a number for each Banana fed to him. After the Kong feeds all of their Bananas, Scoff belches and then jumps on his platform, which somehow elevates Troff's platform. If the door number says zero, Scoff becomes large enough to elevate Troff to the lock, allowing him to unlock it. By doing so, the boss door cycles between the head icons of the five Kongs before stopping on the one who must fight the boss. The door opens but only the depicted Kong can enter; if the other four Kongs attempt to enter, the door shuts on them.
After obtaining the [[Boss Key]] and defeating the boss, the Kongs exit back into the world from the Troff 'n' Scoff portal, which then vanishes.

Troff 'n' Scoff
The first time entering the Troff 'n' Scoff location in Donkey Kong 64
First appearance Donkey Kong 64 (1999)
Greater location DK Isles
Inhabitants Troff, Scoff

Troff 'n' Scoff is a location found in every world of Donkey Kong 64 except Hideout Helm. As the name suggests, it features Troff and Scoff, who act as the gatekeepers to fighting each world boss. To enter the location, the Kongs must enter a portal depicting a mugshot of both characters.

Troff 'n' Scoff takes place inside an enclosed, symmetrical room with a large door leading to the world boss. Troff stands on a platform to the left, while Scoff stands on one to the right. There is a Tag Barrel to the left of the entry portal. A large panel depicting Scoff's head is located directly south of the entrance, and it is surrounded by five smaller panels that each depict an icon of a Kong's head (or a question mark if a Kong is yet to be rescued). The panels are optional as they display the total number of Bananas that each Kong has in the current world. The large door is locked by a silver lock, which is out of Troff's reach. As a result, the Kongs must stand on a Banana Pad, where they must feed a certain number of bananas to Scoff to increase his weight. The remaining number to feed him is displayed on the large boss door, and it gradually decreases with each Banana fed to him. After the Kong feeds all of their bananas, Scoff belches and then stomps on his platform, elevating Troff's platform. If the door number is marked with a zero, Scoff becomes large enough to elevate Troff to the lock, allowing him to unlock it. By doing so, the boss door cycles between the head icons of the five Kongs before stopping on the one who must fight the boss. The door is only open to the Kong chosen, because if the other four Kongs attempt to enter, the door shuts on them.

After obtaining the Boss Key and defeating the boss, the Kongs exit back into the world from the Troff 'n' Scoff portal, which then vanishes.
