Rayman Origins/Legends handled multi direction swimming far better. Here, I don’t even want to use the twirl attack because of how much momentum it gives you after the animation is complete.
@@evan2902 Same, I get that by nature water levels are supposed to be difficult to control (least that’s realistic) but I hate when difficulty comes from difficult controls.
if you haven't been able to beat this thing, by the way . . . try PAUSING the game every time you get a hit. pause it and take a break. let the tension release. relax. and, when you're ready, pick it up again - get another hit. and so on. remember that a lot of the difficulties in life are because of the building up and releasing of emotions. (also remember it's a GAME. it's suppose to be FUN. it doesn't own YOU.)
This is why I chose to play it on Funky Mode(only on Switch). The game is fun but I don't want it to be too hard and frustrating. K levels are still hard on Funky Mode but kinda fun.
I really like this comment because I was tryna beat this boss talking to my partner and everytime they started talking so much to the point I couldn't focus I'd pause it and resume and do really well TIK THE POINT THE BITCH ASS TOOK UP HALF THE DAMN SCREEN I hate this boss.
Trouble is you have to hit him like a dozen times and there are virtually no hearts to pick up, I am 41 years old and yet I'm this close to throwing the controller at the TV
One Retro employee when designing this boss: _The kiddies will love it! You're in water, so the controls have to be sluggish. As you're in the water it's only logical that you need to replanish your oxygen. We also need a screen filling boss where plenty of objects obstruct your path!_ Other Retro employee: _Nah, that would be easy. Let's fill the edges with spikes!_ One Retro employee: _Great idea!_
call me crazy, but putting all that effort into designing such great platforming levels and movement . . . only to ABANDON that for an entire world AND boss seems crazy to me. the water levels (and bosses in general) were by far my least favorite parts of this thing.
In my opinion, I feel like the underwater levels in this game are better than most. Sure the controls can be wonky at times, but these levels still have great design, and challenge that, at least in my experience, weren’t held back by the controls. And this boss in my opinion is great. Not the best in the game, but still pretty solid. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
You can cheese it with Dixie. Make sure your banana bar is full then use your special and turn all the spikes into golden hearts and you’ll double your life total.
This is the hardest boss in the game. Me and my sister would rage at this all the time on the Wii U. Later got the Switch port, and it hasn’t changed. Could never really beat it to this day. Also, I’ve noticed people saying the owl boss is hard? Honestly, even with single player, it’s not that challenging.
Ok ok I agree the owl boss has a little bit of challenge but it reminds me of dark souls every time I died I memorized the bosses pattern and was able to get all the attack points and shit. But with this boss you add water control and I fricken struggle my guy. Like the owl boss easy. This boss makes me wanna yeet myself
Now that I think about, I probably can see why they added Funky Kong as a easy mode in the game. He’s immune to spikes and can breath underwater, infinitely. So maybe they made him just to beat this boss.
Donkey and the other Kongs should've learned not to make fun of someone for how they look. Being a Red-Nosed reindeer, who got made fun of at childhood, I know that lesson.
Honestly, the underwater levels on this game are pretty good. Most platformers have horrific water levels and i was expecting the same for this one but was pleasantly surprised. The speed boost feels good to use and a lot of times I thought I was for sure going to get hit but was able to stop on a dime and avoid the hazard. Great game hoping we can get a new dk platformer for the next console
Alot of people tend to think if the kongs had not made fun of Fugu then he would not have tried to kill them. But He did still have a Snowmad Symbol around his "neck" so He would have most likely still attempted to kill them anyways. The teasing probably just made him more determined to try and kill them.
This world was honestly insanely fun and has gorgeous atmosphere but this guy is a bugger. I was playing as funky (can’t imagine using the other kongs) and still had to cheese it by using two potions. Some day I’ll come back to beat him without them but I’ve enjoyed the rest of the game so much I just wanted to progress by this point. 😅
me too and then gamecard start malfunctioning I fixed cartrige today but still no luck to beat this fckn boss i swear all thee timee blood preeasure 200 by 300 lol and still i could not beat it i almost smashed my controlleer over the wall :D
Yeah, this S.O.B is tough. And the mid to last levels are also tough. They game, overall is pretty challenging. I love this game!! The graphics, the music, the challenging levels. Perfect 10/10
Maybe I'm just some sort of underwater level savant or something but Fugu really wasn't that big of an issue for me. Was he tough? Yeah but not any more than the rest of the bosses and I found Bashmaster and Fredrik to be notably harder. I get that the underwater controls can be difficult to work with but did you not have a whole world of underwater levels to prepare you for this fight?
I don't get the hate for underwater in this game the controls are phenomenal in my opinion. I think its that they have a high learning curve but these are some of the best water controls ive felt for 2D platformers
It took me 3 hours. But I've got it 22 Hit Combo almost closed my game and then I had to do everything again. So I am happy that I didn't close it by punching him
The water levels epitomize bad game design. Why is swimming so sluggish? Why does DK bonk off walls? Why does his swimming animation ark around like it does? Skill issue? Sure. But I’ll die on this hill - swimming in this game is a fun issue. It’s just awful.
The bosses in this game are by far the worst ones in this franchise. The battles are stupidly long, and It takes like 10 hits to kill a boss. You die and have to restart the whole thing.
The boss fights in this game are so dragged out. There’s no health bar or any indication that they are almost defeated and it just gets annoying. It’s a great game other than that.
Who else agrees the water controls in this game just feel sluggish?
really??? I think they are so much better than other games with these kind of levels

+Alex Townley nice!

And you guys thought that the Viking Owl boss from world 2 was challenging
That boi is like Queen Gohma from Ocarina of Time compared to this bitch and the later bosses
Every boss is tbh.
The owl is not that hard. It was challenged the first time I played it, but nowhere close to this.

It sounds like you have a messed up relationship.

The spikes do not turn into golden hearts
@@illyavitan5194the purple ones do
Rude lol
Yup just beat it in 5x thanks to this comment. Waited for bar to be full after a few deaths
If you can pick them up, lol. The rancid controls make that really hard, I often ended up with less hearts than I started out with.
Is this Dark Souls?
So hard!! I hate playing underwater can’t control!!!
underwater sucks. gorillas don't swim unless they fall into the water, then they splash their hands like little kids with floaties on their arms.
Controls are very hard underwater
Lol no it’s harder than Dark Souls
I love this game but damn man
this boss?
Ikr!! I’m doing this to see how other people do I because I’m sitting with my little sister
skill issue

Had to warn my wife not to walk in front of the TV on this level 😂
Man hardest one to me tbh
I'm just glad I wasn't the only one that was having trouble defeating this guy!
This boss is a little jerk... took me like 30 tries to beat him lol.
This boss stage is almost impossible.
And to think, this fight could have been avoided had the monkeys not messed with Fugu in the first place.
Donkey and the other Kongs should've learned not to make fun of someone for how they look. Being a Red-Nosed reindeer, who got made fun of at childhood, I know that lesson.
This is the boss I kept dying on! Thanks for the walkthrough!
This music is a banger
1:17 I don't know why Fugu got mad after that. That wasn't Donkey Kong's fault.

thanks! i beat him in 4 tries with this guide!!
When I got to this boss it took me 20 tries this is the worst boss ever.
Honestly, even with 2 player mode, it’s still hard as hell to beat. Gave up years ago.
ThIs Is ThE wOrSt BoSs EvEr
This guy pissed me off so much lol I was almost out of air when I finally got him. I think it took me about 15 tries ugh..
Thats nothing compared to me I was trying to beat him for a whole week
I'm one of the few who enjoy the water levels in this game.
First time I did well I died, but almost beat him. Second time trying a trainwreck. On my third attempt now.

Bro literally I thought I just sucked at this game when I was like 8 ....no ...it's just fucking hard DUDE DARK SOULS OS EASIER THAN THIS FUCKING GAME
By far of the Hardest boss of the game.
DAM these water levels
I’ve been raging on this level
The entire water zone is pure cancer.
Get Diddy Kong and memorize the attack pattern
The water levels epitomize bad game design. Why is swimming so sluggish? Why does DK bonk off walls? Why does his swimming animation ark around like it does? Skill issue? Sure. But I’ll die on this hill - swimming in this game is a fun issue. It’s just awful.

Poor Pufferfish.
I FUCKING HATE THIS BOSS ITS SO HARD
This guy took 30 of my lives smh

When dark souls is easier than donkey kong
DKC water levels are amazing perfection.... but this boss is so annoying

Sin dudas a partir de este jefe es recomendable dejar de jugar, no tireis vuestro tiempo
2:07 your dead😂
Congrats you made a false insult only to have me give a true insult to you: blind
The worst Boss i have ever seen

Hate this boss….

ikr? the monkeys from world 3 gave me way more trouble lol. At least I understand the patterns of this boss
This is the harder one because water controls, lol.

Beat 5 bosses so far and this one is hardest than the baboons.
