Ghastly King was the horrifying and dreadful evil ruler of The Fruit Kingdoms before he was overthrown by Donkey Kong, and the final boss of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. He is a Cactus King look-a-like in the game. Ghastly King is fought the same way as Cactus King. Before reaching him, Donkey Kong must go through the same exact level he went through to fight Cactus King. However, this time, it is much harder. Ghastly King was also harder, having a few more attacks.
