'''Kleever''', spelled '''Kleaver''' in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', is a living sword and a boss who first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Kleever is a cutlass with a green glowing pommel and a skeletal guard shaped like a [[Kremling]] skull. Its name is a pun on the word "cleaver", which is a large broad knife.

'''Kleever''' (alternately known as '''Kleaver''') is a living sword that is a boss in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Kleever is a living cutlass with a green glowing pommel and a skeletal guard shaped like a [[Kremling]] skull. Kleever is the boss of [[Crocodile Cauldron]], the second area of [[Crocodile Isle]]. Kleever's domain is the level '''Kleever's Kiln'''.


==History==
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2]]'', there are two different phases when fighting Kleever. During phase one, Kleever will come out of the lava being held by an arm made out of [[lava]] (this is based on King Arthur's sword Excalibur, which was held above the water by the Lady of the Lake when she presented it to the legendary king). [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must jump from one side of the battlefield to the other using several hooks while avoiding several fireballs thrown by Kleever. Once there, the [[Kong]]s must grab a nearby [[kannonball]] and throw it at Kleever. After being hit three times by kannonballs, phase two of the battle will begin. During phase two, Kleever will break away from the lava arm wielding it and it will fly around on its own. More hooks will fall during this phase, but once again, the Kongs can use them to get to the opposite side of the arena and throw a kannonball that can hit Kleever.
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Kleever is the boss of the second world, [[Crocodile Cauldron]], where it is fought at [[Kleever's Kiln]]. During the first part of the battle, Kleever is held above the [[lava]] by an arm made up of fire; this is based on King Arthur's sword {{wp|Excalibur}}, which Lady of the Lake held above the water when she presented it to the legendary king. Kleever attacks [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] by creating [[fireball (obstacle)|fireball]]s from the lava and then throwing them at the [[Kong]]s. After Kleever takes a third hit from a [[Cannonball|kannonball]], it is no longer held by an arm of fire, moves around by hovering in midair, and gains an attack where it tries to charge into Diddy and Dixie. After a fourth hit, Kleever rapidly slashes at the Kongs for a few seconds. After taking six hits, Kleever explodes into shards and falls into the lava, defeated. In the ending's Cast of Characters, Kleever is classified as part of the [[Barnacled Bosses]].


Concept drawings for ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' show that [[Squawks]] would originally fight Kleever, though in the final game, he fights a different boss instead, [[King Zing]].
After being smashed three times with kannonballs, Kleever will explode violently, spewing lava and bones everywhere and then fall into the surrounding magma.


In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', [[Kerozene]]'s first two attacks in [[Stronghold Showdown]] is bringing out two small Kleevers to attack the Kongs. The small Kleevers are much weaker than Kleever, and it only takes one hit from a kannonball to defeat it. The small Kleevers cannot throw fireballs and only attack by slashing rapidly either horizontally or in circles.
In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Kleever (or perhaps another sword) (here known as Kleaver) appears as the boss of the area [[Krem Cauldron]]. Kleever is fought the same way in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' as he is in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''.
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===

In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Kleaver is the boss of [[Krem Cauldron]] at the similarly named [[Kleaver's Kiln]]. Kleaver is fought differently than in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. It is no longer held by an arm made of fire, and it takes four hits to defeat instead of six. During the first half, Kleaver throws fireballs at the Kongs and eventually a [[barrel]] containing a [[Cannonball|kannonball]], which has to be thrown at it. In the second part, Kleever charges at the active Kong horizontally. A [[Cannon|kannon]] appears on the stage, and right as Kleaver moves over it, Diddy or Dixie must walk into the kannon to blast a kannonball into him. When the Kongs do it another time, Kleaver gets defeated. Outside of the game, his usual name, Kleever, was used on one occasion.<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 47, page 49.</ref>


==Gallery==
In the Game Boy Advance version of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', the boss [[Kerozene]] will start the battle by sending Kleever doppelgangers after Diddy and Dixie. These Kleevers are much weaker than ''the'' Kleever as they lack Kleever's ability to shoot fireballs and they can be defeated by being hit with just one [[Kannonball]].
