KAOS has three heads: a helmet, a human-like head with sunglasses, and a cylinder with red eyes.


Kaos is first encountered by [[Dixie Kong]] and her cousin [[Kiddy Kong]] while venturing through the factory covered island [[Mekanos]]. Entering a factory titled "Kaos Karnage", the Kongs watched as KAOS descended downward upon them. Immediately identifying the Kongs as a threat, KAOS engaged them in battle. Attempting to roast the Kongs with his exhaust flames, this ploy failed as the Kongs could simply weave and run underneath the mechanical monstrosity.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
[[File:KAOS Karnage DKC3.png|thumb|left|The first boss battle against KAOS]]
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', KAOS is first fought in [[Mekanos]]' boss level, [[Kaos Karnage]]. KAOS identifies the Kongs as a threat and engages them in battle. KAOS first tries to attack the Kongs with its exhaust flames. The Kongs can avoid them by running under KAOS while he is not releasing exhaust flames. After this, KAOS stops moving and send out spinning blades. The Kongs must quickly jump on the spinning blades to then jump onto KAOS's head, before a robotic arm with a red punching glove extends from the left side of KAOS then the right side, knocking the Kongs off the blades. After enough hits, KAOS's head detaches and floats in the air, revealing a second head that resembles a skull. During this part, KAOS's floating head swoops down and tries to zap the Kongs with its laser. After being avoided, KAOS sends out its blades again, and the Kongs must jump on KAOS's skull head again. After doing this enough times, KAOS's floating head falls down and explodes, and KAOS retreats. The Kongs acquire one of the [[ski]]s for defeating KAOS.


Changing tactics, KAOS began to use spinning blades in an attempt to attack the Kongs. However, this backfired as the Kongs could simply hop on top of the blades to reach and hit KAOS's head. They had to act quickly, however, or a robotic arm with a boxing glove on the end would extend from KAOS's body and knock them off.
KAOS is fought again in [[Kastle Kaos]], at the end of [[Kaos Kore]]. KAOS descends into the area, causing the battle to start. The Kongs must throw barrels at KAOS's head to attack it. KAOS's head then rockets out of its body, revealing a third cylindrical, black head in its body, '''KAOS MK. II'''.<ref>{{cite|author=Owsen, Dan; Munson, Terry; Shinoda, Paul|date=1996|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'' Player's Guide|page=104|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=American English}}</ref> KAOS MK. II attempts to attack Dixie and Kiddy with a grenade-launcher hidden inside a hole on top of its head. The Kongs must continue attacking KAOS' head with barrels. After being attacked, KAOS' skull head retreats back in his body, shutting down and falling to the ground. A crane hook descends and lifts KAOS's body into the air. A nearby curtain opens and reveals [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]], who was the mastermind behind KAOS all along. K. Rool says that he constructed KAOS from his wife's pots and pans. Baron K. Roolenstein starts to battle the Kongs. When the Kongs defeat Baron K. Roolenstein, KAOS descends from the ceiling, and [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] climb out of KAOS's body, revealing that their brain power was used to power KAOS.

After being hit multiple times, KAOS's head would float off his body, revealing a second head underneath. Once again KAOS changed strategies, this time his floating head would swoop down and attempt to blast the Kongs with its laser vision.
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', KAOS is still a boss, though it otherwise has no other role, unlike in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''. KAOS is the boss of [[Great Ape Lakes]], where it is fought in the boss level, [[Krazy Kaos]]. During battle, KAOS moves back and forth during the level. As KAOS does this, Dixie or Kiddy must jump over it. Shortly after, KAOS moves to the upper middle of the screen, and then slide a blade off its right side and then its left, while ejecting a punch from a boxing glove on the other side. The Kongs must jump on KAOS's head to attack it, but not while it has an electric current on its head. After three hits, KAOS is defeated.


After dodging the laser blasts from KAOS's flying head, his body will descend and the Kongs can once again scale KAOS's rotating blades and bonk his head. After bonking the head several more times, KAOS's flying head will fall to the ground and explode. The body, realising it has been defeated, will flee, but not before dropping a [[Ski (DKC3)|Ski]] that the Kongs can give to [[Funky Kong|Funky]] at [[Funky's Rentals]].

Dixie and Kiddy later re-encounter KAOS in [[Kastle KAOS]] in ''Donky Kong Country 3's'' last area [[KAOS Kore]]. When the Kongs enter the castle, KAOS descends to engage in battle against them. Using barrels this time, the Kongs managed to bash KAOS's head. After this attack KAOS's head descends into his body and a third black cycloptic head rises from KAOS's body. This new head attempts to defeat the Kongs using a bomb-launcher hidden inside it's single eye.

Dodging this new heads barrage of explosives, the Kongs managed to once again bash KAOS's head with barrels. After this attack KAOS falls to the ground and powers down. Suddenly, a crane hook descends and lifts KAOS's body into the air. After this display a curtain nearby opens which reveals the Kong's old enemy [[King K. Rool]] now under the guise of Baron K. Roolenstein. K. Rool reveals to the Kongs that he built KAOS, out of his [[King K. Rool's Wife|wife]]'s pots and pans, as a puppet leader to the Kremling Krew, with him as the puppeteer.

KAOS later returns as the boss of the area [[Great Ape Lakes]] in ''Donkey Kong Country 3's'' pseudo sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. It is assumed that K.

History

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

KAOS
The first boss battle against KAOS

In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, KAOS is first fought in Mekanos' boss level, Kaos Karnage. KAOS identifies the Kongs as a threat and engages them in battle. KAOS first tries to attack the Kongs with its exhaust flames. The Kongs can avoid them by running under KAOS while he is not releasing exhaust flames. After this, KAOS stops moving and send out spinning blades. The Kongs must quickly jump on the spinning blades to then jump onto KAOS's head, before a robotic arm with a red punching glove extends from the left side of KAOS then the right side, knocking the Kongs off the blades. After enough hits, KAOS's head detaches and floats in the air, revealing a second head that resembles a skull. During this part, KAOS's floating head swoops down and tries to zap the Kongs with its laser. After being avoided, KAOS sends out its blades again, and the Kongs must jump on KAOS's skull head again. After doing this enough times, KAOS's floating head falls down and explodes, and KAOS retreats. The Kongs acquire one of the skis for defeating KAOS.

KAOS is fought again in Kastle Kaos, at the end of Kaos Kore. KAOS descends into the area, causing the battle to start. The Kongs must throw barrels at KAOS's head to attack it. KAOS's head then rockets out of its body, revealing a third cylindrical, black head in its body, KAOS MK. II.[2] KAOS MK. II attempts to attack Dixie and Kiddy with a grenade-launcher hidden inside a hole on top of its head. The Kongs must continue attacking KAOS' head with barrels. After being attacked, KAOS' skull head retreats back in his body, shutting down and falling to the ground. A crane hook descends and lifts KAOS's body into the air. A nearby curtain opens and reveals Baron K. Roolenstein, who was the mastermind behind KAOS all along. K. Rool says that he constructed KAOS from his wife's pots and pans. Baron K. Roolenstein starts to battle the Kongs. When the Kongs defeat Baron K. Roolenstein, KAOS descends from the ceiling, and Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong climb out of KAOS's body, revealing that their brain power was used to power KAOS.

Donkey Kong Land III

In Donkey Kong Land III, KAOS is still a boss, though it otherwise has no other role, unlike in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. KAOS is the boss of Great Ape Lakes, where it is fought in the boss level, Krazy Kaos. During battle, KAOS moves back and forth during the level. As KAOS does this, Dixie or Kiddy must jump over it. Shortly after, KAOS moves to the upper middle of the screen, and then slide a blade off its right side and then its left, while ejecting a punch from a boxing glove on the other side. The Kongs must jump on KAOS's head to attack it, but not while it has an electric current on its head. After three hits, KAOS is defeated.
