Level Details
Game Donkey Kong Country 3
World name Mekanos
Level name Kaos Karnage
Previous level Low-G Labyrinth
Next level Cotton Top Cove

Difficulty:

  • Safe = 2/10
  • Optimal (U) = 10/10
  • Optimal (J) = 9/10

Any%

Safe

Notes:

  • Do this if you can't pull off the optimal boss.

Optimal (U)

Notes:

  • Team Throw Hovering
  • IMPORTANT! THIS DOESN'T WORK ON JAPANESE VERSION!!
  • Be sure to get some height off the bounce before you start team throw hovering.
  • Get as many quick hits as you can before touching the ground. Even if you mess up early in the fight, try for more quick hits next time he's vulnerable.
  • A 1 cycle kill (as show in video) is nearly impossible to get consistently and requires being close to the wall for the later hits.
  • A more likely case is a 2 cycle kill, where team throw hovering is lost between the 4th and 5th hit on Kaos.
  • Getting either a 1 cycle or 2 cycle kill is fast enough for it to be worth using U instead of J.

Optimal (J)

Notes:

  • Watch the video, as the first segment contains all the information you need to defeat this boss quickly.
  • Although you cannot team throw hover on the Japanese version, you can still skip the 3rd cycle via a damage boost.
  • Spawning the blades on the same side saves 1 second each, for a total of 5 seconds saved if you do this for every cycle.
  • If done perfectly, this boss is roughly 26.5 seconds slower on the Japanese version (compared to a 2-cycle KAOS on the North American version).
  • It is possible to beat this fight even faster using four Team Up Jumps. However, as each one is a 1-frame input, this is currently considered TAS-only.
