'''K. Lumsy''' is a gigantic, friendly [[Kremling]] who appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Unlike the other Kremlings in the [[Kremling Krew]], K. Lumsy likes the [[Kong]]s and helps them during their adventure. In the Japanese version of ''Donkey Kong 64'', K. Lumsy is said to be [[King K. Rool]]'s younger brother.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_ndoj/chara/page02.html Nintendo.co.jp Character Page] (Retrieved April 22, 2012)</ref> K. Lumsy's name is a pun on the word "clumsy".
'''K. Lumsy''' is a gigantic [[Kremling]] that proves to be an [[List of allies|ally]] to the [[Kong]]s during the events of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. K.

Rool]]'s younger brother.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_ndoj/chara/page02.html Nintendo.co.jp Character Page] (Retrieved April 22, 2012)</ref> K.

==History==
==History==
Prior to the events of ''Donkey Kong 64'', K. Lumsy was ordered by King K. Rool to destroy [[DK Isles#Kong Isle|Kong Isle]]. K. Lumsy refused to destroy the isle, resulting in him being locked in a [[K. Lumsy's Prison|prison]] tethered to [[Crocodile Isle (Donkey Kong 64)|Crocodile Isle]].
[[File:DK64KLumsyEnding.png|thumb|left|K. Lumsy being a boat for the Kongs at the end]]
 
When K. Lumsy is ordered by King K. Rool to smash [[Donkey Kong Island]] during the Kremling invasion, he refuses. This act of disobedience results in K. Lumsy being imprisoned in a [[K. Lumsy's Prison|large cage]] with eight locks. The [[Boss Key|key]]s to these locks are given to various minions of the Kremling king, who are commanded to protect the keys at any cost. The cage itself is tethered to [[Crocodile Isle (Donkey Kong 64)|Crocodile Isle]], the moving base of operations of the Kremling Krew. K. Lumsy is to remain in the cage as punishment for his actions and is only to be released when he learns to be a vicious destroyer who has no sympathies towards the [[Kong Family]].
After leaving Kong Isle, [[Donkey Kong]] stumbles upon K. Lumsy's Prison just outside Kong Isle. Donkey Kong enters inside and finds K. Lumsy, who explains his circumstance to him. Donkey Kong agrees to try and free K. Lumsy, who then happily [[jump]]s around, causing a small tremor to occur around DK Isles. This destroys a boulder that blocked the entrance to [[Jungle Japes]]. Following this, Donkey Kong and the other [[Kong]]s must each use a [[Boss Key]] to open a padlock of K. Lumsy's cage. Each time they remove a padlock, K. Lumsy boisterously celebrates and causes a tremor that unlocks the path to either one or two levels. After the Kongs obtain the eighth Boss Key and remove the eighth and final padlock, K. Lumsy's cage lifts and thus frees him.


Just after exiting his prison, K. Lumsy notices an [[K. Rool's airship (Donkey Kong 64)|airship]], which is small in proportion to K. Lumsy, moving in the air. King K. Rool uses the airship to try and escape from DK Isles after the Kongs deactivate the [[Blast-o-Matic]]. While chasing the airship, K. Lumsy accidentally trips on a rock and swats it out of the air, causing it to crash land on Kong Isle's shore. Shortly afterward, when K. Rool is defeated by the Kongs, he is sent flying out the airship and lands in K. Lumsy's Prison, where K. Lumsy beats him up out of revenge, sending him flying through the roof of the island.
During the events of the game, [[Donkey Kong]] stumbles upon K. Lumsy’s prison. Donkey Kong promises to free the Kremling from his cage, with this causing  K. Lumsy to [[jump]] and dance for joy, causing small tremors across the island that open [[Jungle Japes]], the lair of [[Army Dillo]], the guardian of the first key required to unlock the cage.


In the 101% ending cutscene, the Kongs are seen riding on K. Lumsy across the surrounding waters of DK Isles.
Once the player defeats a boss and recovers their key and opens a lock on K. Lumsy’s cage, he jumps for joy, and another area is opened as a result, allowing the Kongs to recover more keys as well as allowing them to rescue other allies and allowing them to collect the remaining stolen [[Golden Banana]]s.


==Profiles and statistics==
Once all eight keys are recovered and the last lock on his cage is removed, K. Lumsy is freed. Immediately after exiting his cell, K. Lumsy notices an airship flying through the sky, and he chases after the plane, with the plane being the [[King Kruiser II]], King K. Rool’s personal means of escape from Donkey Kong Island after the Kongs foil his plan to destroy it. K. Lumsy trips on a rock while chasing the airship and accidentally knocks it out of the sky. It crashes onto the shore, and the Kongs then enter it and engage King K. Rool.
*'''Instruction booklet bio from [[Cranky Kong|Professor Cranky Kong]]''': "''He’s bigger, slower and even more useless. No, it’s not Chunky, but a hulking, good-natured Kremling whom K. Rool has imprisoned for his lack of reptilian ruthlessness. I reckon all it will take is a bit of the famous Kong charm to win K. Lumsy over and get him to lend a considerably-sized hand in thwarting his master’s plans.''"<ref>''Donkey Kong 64'' instruction booklet. Page 11.</ref>
*'''[[Prima Games]] guide''': "''One huge Kremling, K. Lumsy isn't into smashing cute monkeys. Because he wouldn't help K. Rool destroy the Kongs, the big-hearted beast was locked up. The Kongs are helping K. Lumsy by finding the keys to his cage. The freed prisoner will smash open doors to several levels when he jumps up and down with glee.''"<ref>''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima Games Strategy Guide. Page 14.</ref>
*'''Japanese website''': キングクルールの弟。心やさしい性格だったためにキングクルールに反抗して、その結果牢屋に入れられてしまいました。ドンキーコングたちに牢屋のカギを開けてもらうたび、飛んだり跳ねたりの大喜びをします。体は大きいくせに子供のように純粋な性格 (''King K. Rool's younger brother. Because he had a kind-hearted personality, he rebelled against King K. Rool and was thrown into prison as a result. He jumps and jumps with joy every time Donkey Kong and his friends unlock the prison. Although he is big, he has a pure personality like a child.'')

After King K. Rool's defeat, King K. Rool is sent flying through the air by [[Funky Kong]], crash landing on K. Lumsy's Island before being beaten by K. Lumsy and sent flying through the roof as revenge for locking him up earlier. In the ending, K. Lumsy later gives the Kongs a ride around the waters of Donkey Kong Island.
