We'll get to the in-depth walkthrough in just a minute, but here are some smaller tips that you will want to keep in mind during the fight:

  • Using Kong Bananza isn't essential for the first phase of the fight, but it sure speeds things up.
  • Keep stocking up on Gold during the battle to maintain a good level of Bananergy.
  • Stay nimble — those feet can cause some pretty hefty damage.

How to Defeat Stompenclomper

Roll straight into battle and start attacking Stompenclomper's sandy feet. It will move away from your attacks, or try to stand on you in the process, so stay nimble and get punching once they're on the ground. Destroy both feet to expose the body.

Repeat the same process with Stompenclomper's main body, punching through it until you hit the gold heart inside. Continue hitting the inner contraption until the boss enters its second phase.

Phase two plays out much the same as the first, but you'll need to use Kong Bananza to break through the concrete exterior this time.

Stompenclomper has the potential to deal some heavy damage with its jump attack in this section, so stay out of range when it leaps into the air, and get back to punching once it's down.

Reach the gold contraption inside a second time and keep hitting 'Y' until Stompenclomper's health hits zero.
