Kerozene

Kerozene is a boss in the Game Boy Advance remake version of . Kerozene appears as the boss of the game's sixth world, K. Rool's Keep, replacing the cutscene present at the end of the Stronghold Showdown level in the original Super Nintendo Entertainment System version of the game.
== Physical Appearance ==
Kerozene is similar in appearance to a Kritter, though his size far surpasses that of the other members of the Kremling Krew; Dixie Kong and Diddy Kong are smaller than even Kerozene's closed fists. As opposed to the green scales that other Kremlings possess, Kerozene is orange in colour with a yellow chest. Though his back is never seen, it can be assumed that Kerozene's back possesses several white spikes as two can be seen cresting the crown of his head. Kerozene's eyes have yellow sclera, his pupils solid black.
== Abilities ==
Due to his large size, Kerozene displays an immense amount of physical strength that surpasses that of all other characters in the Donkey Kong (save for perhaps Chunky Kong and the equally-giant K. Lumsy). Kerozene uses his giant size in battle to harass the Kongs fighting against him with simple swipes of his hands. By slamming his fists on the ground, Kerozene displays the ability to create earthquakes.
In addition to this giant size, Kerozene's most notable trait is his ability to breathe fire. Throughout his battle against Diddy and Dixie Kong, Kerozene displays the ability to breathe fire in a stream and shoot fireballs from his mouth. This ability serves as his main method of attack next to his physical swipes.
Kerozene can also summon smaller and weaker versions of the Kleever boss that the Kongs previously defeated in the game's second world, Crocodile Cauldron. These Kleevers are significantly weaker than the boss version of the character, being only able to perform simple melee attacks. Each of these small Kleevers can be easily defeated with the use of a single Kannonball.
