King Watinga is the 1st main boss that appears in World 8, Avenue of Memories.
History:[]
King Watinga is a giant robotic insect. He originated from the 1992 Super NES mouse-operated game Mario Paint as a boss in the Gnat Attack mini-game. He is a relatively obscure character in terms of Nintendo characters.
Role In MKF:[]
King Watinga appears in the end boss level, World 8-4 (Tetropolis).
In Tetropolis[]
King Watinga will have his basic attack pattern. He will shoot bullets out every few seconds, and the number he shoots out depends on how much life he has left. While fighting King Watinga, there will be large cockroaches, known as Giant Profasu, along the floor of the room that can be used to hurt King Watinga. The Giant Profasu does not damage the player while fighting King Watinga.
In King Watinga's Revenge[]
King Watinga will have even more life and will be difficult to finish off. There are two parts to this fight. For the first half, King Watinga will use the same attack pattern as he used in Tetropolis. As he loses more life, there will be more bullets. When he has half his life left in this stage, King Watinga will change to a purple color and enter what is known as a "bullet-hell" mode. King Watinga has four different attacks in this form, and he fires bullets at an insane rate. These bullets don't hurt a character unless they hit their hitbox, which is represented by a small green dot in the center of the character. The cockroaches are still present in this phase.
Strategy:[]
Wait for Giant Profasu until it spawns and throw it at King Watinga. Dodge his attack patterns, then throw Giant Profasu, or use a projectile-based powerup until he is defeated.
Trivia:[]
- King Watinga appeared in level Watinga's Revenge in older versions of MKF, where the player fought the superboss version of him, but the level was removed starting in the v0.83 version.
