'''Colonel Pluck''' is, together with his [[Stompybot 3000]] the seventh boss in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. He is the boss of the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] area and is fought in the level [[Feather Fiend]]. Colonel Pluck, while inside the Stompybot, is seen stomping on [[banana]]s from [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[Banana Hoard]]. When mashed-up bananas come in contact with masks, they are transformed into [[Tiki]]s. Colonel Pluck is doing his job until his hypnosis briefly wears off. Cordian hypnotizes him to continue the work, and eventually to do battle with the apes after they jump onto the assembly line.
'''Colonel Pluck''' is the seventh and penultimate boss of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. He is a white chicken who wears goggles with a black frame. He has a limp, red comb on his head and has quite a long neck and wings for a chicken. Colonel Pluck also has four tips at the end of his wing, which can function as fingers for him while he is working. operates and moves around in the [[Stompybot 3000]]. While Colonel Pluck is under control by the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]], after being hypnotized by Cordian, he is forced to mass-produce a large quantity of Tiki enemies. He does this by using the Stompybot 3000 to mash up bananas which transform into Tikis when coming in contact with masks.


==General information==
He is fought at the end of [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] in the boss level, [[Feather Fiend]]. In the first phase, Colonel Pluck controls the Stompybot 3000, walking around the stage. The duo must make their way under the robot. Occasionally, it will run across the screen quickly. Sometimes, Colonel Pluck will lift the robot into the air and then perform a ground pound on the ground. When green chains appear at some point, he will start lifting the legs into the air and back on the ground, one at a time, but very rarely will Pluck try to trick the apes by just scratching the floor with his mechanical feet, which Donkey and Diddy can not go under. If Donkey and Diddy fail to damage Pluck, he will roast the Kongs with a flame jet, but not before lifting one of the robot's legs, giving the Kongs a small chance to escape. During the second phase, Pluck will send in some eggs, where [[BuckBot]]s will hatch out. Donkey Kong must rid of these so he has enough room to avoid Pluck, who will try to use the Stompybot to body-slam him from above, resulting in the Stompybot getting stuck in the ground for a second before freeing itself. After damaging the Stompybot 3000 three times, the robot's outer shell will break off, and will resemble a flying vehicle. Pluck, who still is inside the robot, will send in BuckBots at this point. Donkey Kong must dodge his attacks and stomp on Pluck three times. After this, Cordian will emerge, allowing Donkey Kong to send it flying off into the distance.

When hitting the Stompybot 3000 three times, parts of the 3000 will break off, and will resemble a flying vehicle like the [[Koopa Clown Car]]. Colonel Pluck, who still is inside the robot, will send in eggs at this point. Donkey Kong must dodge his attacks and stomp on Colonel Pluck three more times. After this, Cordian will release itself from the vehicle's body, and the Stompybot will over turn on Colonel Pluck. Donkey Kong then sends Cordian flying off into the distance.
