'''Old King Coal''' is a character in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''.
'''Old King Coal''', subtitled "Grubby Boiler Monarch", is the boss of [[Glitter Gulch Mine]] in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. He is a gigantic living pile of coal who inhabits the boiler of [[Chuffy]], whom he is protective over. As such, when [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] first encounter Old King Coal, they get into a brief exchange, and then the duo are forced to battle him. Old King Coal's voice is the same as [[Chief Bloatazin]]'s.


==Biography==
Whenever Banjo and Kazooie use Chuffy, Old King Coal speaks on his behalf and even drives Chuffy if he is called from a different [[Train Station]].
Old King Coal is a gigantic living pile of coal who inhabits the boiler of [[Chuffy]], whom he is protective over.


===''Banjo-Tooie''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', a small statue of Old King Coal appears on a pile crates in [[Banjoland]]. It has the ability to blink, and its eyes follow Banjo and Kazooie.
In ''Banjo-Tooie'', Old King Coal is found in [[Glitter Gulch Mine]], inside his train Chuffy, where he is subtitled "Grubby Boiler Monarch." After the locomotive is lifted back up by [[Mumbo Jumbo]], its boiler can be entered by [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. When they first encounter him, they get into a brief exchange, and then the duo are forced to battle the monarch.  


During the fight, 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. Old King Coal is invulnerable to [[Fire Egg]]s, but can take twice the damage from [[Ice Egg]]s.

During the battle, 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. Old King Coal is invulnerable to [[Fire Egg]]s, but can take twice the damage from [[Ice Egg]]s.


After taking a certain amount of damage, Old King Coal's left arm crumbles and falls off, making him a bit lighter and quicker. From this moment, Old King Coal periodically turns 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 allow protection against the heat until it wears off. If the timer runs out, the boiler remain permanently hot, causing Banjo and Kazooie to suffocate and slowly lose their health.

Line 19: Line 18:
When losing body parts, Old King Coal is initially unfazed, stating that he at least has another arm. Upon losing both arms, losing that, claiming he won't need arms to beat them anyway. However, once his top half is blown off, he starts showing some concern, when he starts verbally considering that he, Banjo, and Kazooie sit down and negotiate. Once Old King Coal is down to his last few body parts, the boiler remains heated indefinitely until he has been defeated, so Banjo and Kazooie must quickly defeat Old King Coal before they suffocate and lose all their health.

Upon defeat, Banjo and Kazooie are rewarded with a [[Jiggy]]. Old King Coal also loans Chuffy to them under the condition that they do not hit the train, which he had just polished. Whenever Banjo and Kazooie use Chuffy, Old King Coal speaks on his behalf and even drives the train if he is called from a different [[Train Station]].

His voice is the same as [[Chief Bloatazin]]'s.

==Trivia==
*Old King Coal is a reference to the nursery rhyme {{wp|Old King Cole}}. Evidence of this can be seen when Kazooie says he's "supposed to be a merry old soul" and the king's sarcastic retort of having his "merry old sole" on top of Banjo and Kazooie's heads. In the [[Xbox Live Arcade]] version, this is further evidenced with the "Merry Old Soul" [[achievement]], which is rewarded for defeating Old King Coal.
