Notes:

  • The first hit in this fight is the same as Necky in world 2. You can either do the strategy seen in the video there for Necky's Nuts, or the strategy seen here for a consistent first hit.
  • With each hit you induce, he'll shoot an additional nut for the subsequent cycle (5 nuts on the last cycle).
  • Similarly to Necky 1, he shoots his nuts faster with each cycle and is also positioned differently for each cycle. The 3rd and 4th hits are the most difficult to do optimally in this fight if he gives you high spawns.
  • His nuts will go towards wherever you are when he shoots, then, so you can bait the nuts by getting close to him on the 2nd to last nut he shoots for any given cycle, to give yourself more time to get into position for a clean hit after his last nut.
  • If you get a high spawn on the final cycle, you will lose a handful of frames due to Necky taking longer to fall to the ground after being defeated.
  • You want to prioritize not taking damage during this fight, since DK's fanfare afterwards is faster (20 frames) and fighting K. Rool as DK is also faster. Just don't get hit haha, it's so easy!!!
