Boss Key

The Boss Key is an important item which appears in Donkey Kong 64. They are one of the primary collectible items, along with Golden Bananas.
==History==
As the name states, Boss Keys can be earned from defeating the major bosses from the game after Troff and Scoff open the way to the boss. There are eight Boss Keys in total and each of these keys are needed to unlock the large locks on K. Lumsy's cage. Collecting all of the Boss Keys frees K. Lumsy who stops King K. Rool from escaping allowing the Kongs to take him down in the final showdown.
==Trivia==
*The jingle that plays for collecting a Boss Key is the exact same as the one for collecting a Golden Banana.
