to use the swatter.” - —In-game instructions
Big Bug Bash!, or Fly Swatter,[1] is a bonus stage in Donkey Kong 64.
GameplayEdit
The object is to use a fly swat to swat a given number of flies inside of a barrel within 60 seconds. Each fly usually buzzes around in a circular pattern. If the player does not swat enough flies within the time limit, they lose at the mini-game, though if they win, the Kong who jumped in the Bonus Barrel wins a Golden Banana.
Big Bug Bash! has five different Bonus Barrel challenges. The required number of flies to swat increases in each challenge. Just like every other mini-game, the Kongs can replay the mini-game at Snide's HQ after they retrieve all forty Blueprints. Like the other mini-games, the Kongs do not obtain a Golden Banana if they complete the mini-game. The following locations have their own variations with a given number of flies, and can be played by only the following Kong:
- DK Isles: 8 flies - Tiny Kong
- Angry Aztec: 4 flies - Lanky Kong
- Gloomy Galleon: 6 flies - Tiny Kong
- Creepy Castle: 10 flies - Diddy Kong
- Snide's H.Q.: 15 flies - Any Kong
