Strategy:

• Focus on killing the regular Neckies quickly to get the Barrels needed to damage Kreepy Krow.
• When she swoops down, make sure you have a Barrel ready and aim carefully.
• The alternating egg pattern on the final rope climb can be tricky. Watch the pattern and time your movements to avoid getting hit.
• If you're struggling, look for the DK Barrel on the way up during the second phase for an extra life.
