Donkey Kong Bananza – Planet Core | Full Playthrough Part 2 [Final Boss & Ending]
2Planet Core: Part 2 — Final Boss & Ending Summary
• Donkey Kong reaches the heart of Planet Core and faces the final boss showdown against King K. Rool, who has transformed into the menacing King of Rot.  
• Phase One – King K. Rool (Initial Form):
• You must use Kong Bananza form to charge punch cannonballs back at K. Rool, disabling him when struck.  
• Beware: cannonballs leave black, hazardous terrain behind—equip Elephant Bananza to inhale and clear the mess efficiently.  
• K. Rool summons giant hands and triggers a suction attack—use Zebra or Ostrich Bananza to dodge these attacks and maintain positioning.  
• Phase Two – King of Rot (Corrupted State):
• K. Rool returns with new projectile patterns—spiraled or bouncing cannonballs. Use Kong Bananza to return them, timing movement carefully to adjust trajectory.  
• The arena floods with toxic black goop and giant hands re-emerge. Use Elephant Bananza to clear passages and throw chunks at K. Rool or incoming threats.  
• Focus on returning larger cannonballs for maximum damage, and continue clearing and attacking until victory is won.  
• Post-Credit & Ending Sequences:
• After the fight, a brief set of fake credits roll, followed by platforming through an infected New Donk City and a rematch with K. Rool. 
• Upon victory, the main story concludes. As per lore, Donkey Kong and Pauline return to the surface aboard a mass of bananas but face a final battle in New Donk City before parting ways.
