The [[Kong]]s first encounter Big Sphens during the boss level [[Big Top Bop]], where they assist [[Pompy]].<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 55. "''While he’s in the water, Pompy still utilizes his minions. During this phase of the battle, he starts by summoning a group of Big Sphens. Rather than use their standard attacks, these bulky enemies leap out of the water and slam down on the floor. You can simply dodge the enemies as they appear, but if you bop each Big Sphen as it lands, you can earn extra items like bananas or hearts.''"</ref> They do not have blowing horns in the battle, and their initial attack is to jump out the water and pound onto the arena. Later in the battle, Pompy and three Big Sphens slide around on the arena, performing stunts and attempting to hit the Kongs. The Kongs have the option to avoid Big Sphens, but they are required to hit Pompy.
