Bleak

Bleak, (called ブリーク Burīku in Japan), is an evil snowman located in K3 in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and in Primate Plains in Donkey Kong Land III.

Appearance
He resembles the stereotypical snowman having the traditional top hat, scarf and carrot nose, however he has a very deranged and sinister look and is quite bulbous in appearance. He also wears sleeve cuffs and fancy shoes.

Bleak's House
Bleak is fought in Bleak's House in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. In this game, Bleak's main attack pattern is to stay at a distance and throw snowballs. Bleak's weak spot is the glowing red part located on his tie. This means that Dixie and Kiddy must grab some snowballs and throw it at Bleak's weak spot enough times (much like throwing balls at the targets in Swanky's Sideshow in the SNES version). When hit a couple of times, Bleak starts to use a new attack tectic; firing snowballs from his hat. He fires either two or four giant snowballs at once from his hat, meaning Dixie and Kiddy have to be extra careful for the giant snowballs attack them. Enough damage makes Bleak have some sort of seizure and then explode.

Bleak Magic
Bleak is fought again in Bleak Magic in Donkey Kong Land III. Unlike the previous battle, he is altered so how whole body is shown as the Game Boy is unable to support three dimensional snowball fights. Instead, Bleak only attacks by firing snowballs from his hat and must be attacked by having a barrel thrown at him. After each hit, his snowball attacks become more aggressive. Defeating Bleak with these tactics allow Dixie and Kiddy to go to Blackforest Plateau.

Trivia

 * The physics of Bleak's battle are similar to Swanky's Sideshow's bonus game, where Dixie or Kiddy must walk left and right and throw a projectile.
