He is possessive of his train and thinks that a curious [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] are attempting to steal it. After a traditional exchange of lines, he proceeds to fight the duo. | ||
Old King Coal will lumber around the room in an attempt to hit Banjo and Kazooie. His body has no particular weak points and he can be hit with just about any attack. After taking a certain amount of damage, his right arm will crumble and fall off, making him a bit lighter and quicker, and progressively losing more body parts as he takes more damage. From the moment he loses his first arm, Old King Coal will periodically turn up the heat inside the boiler, making the floor dangerous to walk on and filling the air with suffocating smoke | Old King Coal will lumber around the room in an attempt to hit Banjo and Kazooie.

From the moment he loses his first arm, Old King Coal will periodically turn up the heat inside the boiler, making the floor dangerous to walk on and filling the air with suffocating smoke. Pieces of debris amidst the sea of hot coals will offer protection against the heat until it wears off (Old King Coal can't touch them when Banjo and Kazooie stand on those either), but once Old King Coal is down to his last few body parts, the boiler will remain heated indefinitely until he has been defeated, making a quick kill imperative to avoid suffocating. | ||
While it may be faster to chase Old King Coal and peck him, it may be safer to stay back on the debris and pelt him with [[Blue Eggs|eggs]], which will still quickly kill him. It should be noted that he is immune to [[Fire Eggs]]. He does however, take extra damage from [[Ice Eggs]] and [[Grenade Eggs]]. | While it may be faster to chase Old King Coal and peck him, it may be safer to stay back on the debris and pelt him with [[Blue Eggs|eggs]], which will still quickly kill him.

Upon defeat, Old King Coal lends Banjo and Kazooie usage of his train, as well as a shiny, golden [[Jiggy]]. He speaks on behalf of Chuffy and will even drive the train to them if called from another train station. | Upon defeat, Old King Coal lends Banjo and Kazooie usage of his train, as well as a shiny, golden [[Jiggy]].

==Trivia== | |||
*Old King Coal is a reference to the nursery rhyme ''Old King Cole''. Evidence of this can be seen when Kazooie says, "I thought you were supposed to be a merry old soul...", a reference to the line, "And a merry old soul was he." | |||
*A model of Old King Coal appears in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'' in [[Banjoland]] on top of the boxes. | |||
*Apart from [[Klungo]] and [[Hag 1]], Old King Coal is the only boss you must defeat to complete the game, since you need Chuffy to enter [[Grunty Industries]] and learn the [[Claw Clamber Boots]], which in turn are needed to get up to [[Cauldron Keep]]. | |||
