===Donkey Kong Country Returns===
Mugly appears as a boss in Donkey Kong Country Returns, being the boss in the game's first world, battled in the level Mugly's Mound. He is first seen eating bananas, which gets Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong angry. Krazy Kalimba then hypnotizes Mugly to battle the Kongs in front of a crowd full of Tiki Tak Tribe members.
Mugly's main attack is charging headfirst into the Kongs. While doing this, the spikes on his back will retract, leaving his weak point, his back, exposed. They must jump on his back to damage him. He will also attack by performing a high jump and trying to slam on the Kongs, as well as bouncing across the arena multiple times. After being hit three times, Mugly will turn from yellow to orange, attacking faster and creating a shockwave when he uses his slam attack. Three more hits will cause him to turn red, making him even faster. After nine hits, he is defeated.
Once defeated, Mugly will make three freeze-frame poses before he faints. Krazy Kalimba then appears dizzy, and Donkey Kong punches him multiple times before sending him away.

:"Mugly doesn't even peel bananas before eating them! Maybe he gets his yellow skin that way. I'm sure he's a lovable monster when he isn't controlled by evil Tikis. When he charges, his spikes go away—maybe so he can go faster? It definitely exposes his weak spot..."
