The second boss is a giant Clambo named the [[Giant Clam]], who is fought at [[Seabed Showdown]] at the end of [[Kremlantis]]. Although it is a boss, the Giant Clam is based on the Clambos from ''Donkey Kong Country'', as it can spit out pearls and has a very similar design to the point of the Clambos' ''Donkey Kong Country'' artwork being reused for the Giant Clam. The Giant Clam has the added ability to move around underwater, and it can also aim where it shoots out its pearls.

During the boss fight against Giant Clam, there is a Clambo positioned at the corner of the screen. Its only purpose is that its shell can bounce the pearls spit out by the Giant Clam back at it. When the Clambo is hit by a pearl, its shell flicks open briefly, revealing two eyes, before it reappears, usually in another corner. Another Clambo is featured in the boss arena during later parts of the battle.

"''Tackling this Boss on the swim places our boys in a more precarious position than they’d like. Clambo fires pearls the size of cannon balls from the safety of its shell. They’re valuable, sure, but the damage they cause is more costly. The only other object in Clambo’s lair is a sponge, which chooses to disappear and reappear in random comers of the room. What folly is this!''"</ref> positioned at the corner of the screen. Its only purpose is that its shell can bounce the pearls spit out by the Giant Clam back at it.
