'''Old King Coal''' is the boss of [[Glitter Gulch Mine]] and is essentially a gigantic living pile of coal inhabiting the boiler of [[Chuffy]] the train. 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''' is the boss of [[Glitter Gulch Mine]] and is essentially a gigantic living pile of coal inhabiting the boiler of [[Chuffy]] the train.

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. He will then start to progressively lose more body parts as he takes more damage incuding his other arm and his entire top half. 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. | Old King Coal will lumber around the room in an attempt to hit Banjo and Kazooie.

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]].

*Despite his menacing appearance, Old King Coal is considered one of the easiest bosses of all time. This is probably because you need Chuffy the train to advance in the game, and if the battle was too difficult, some players would not have been able to beat the game. | *Despite his menacing appearance, Old King Coal is considered one of the easiest bosses of all time.

Both of them still fight even after having some of their limbs severed. It is also interesting to note that this movie was made by a British director, and Rare is also based in Great Britain. But this is totally unimportant to note. | ||
