Thugly Tunes: This is Sticky Situation, arguably the main theme of Cliff, the world Thugly presides over. One of the most notable new compositions, this majestic theme plays for the first stage of the world, Sticky Situation, and for the final ascent to Thugly’s Highrise in Clifftop Climb.
Thugly Something: Here, at the very top of the cliffs, it seems as though the earth has been transcended and the sky entered. A few stubborn shrubs clinging to the stone sway as the wind blows. Clouds tinged pink and purple by the sunset float both below and above. The dome ahead is a grand structure, whittled from the rock seemingly as some sort of dwelling, by forces unknown. Yet it stands out moreso from its desolate surroundings for the way it shakes, echoing with the roars of some mighty beast...

Thugly Pics: An interesting fake-out occurs in Cliff after stage 6-6, Crumble Canyon. It appears that this is the final stage of the world, but upon its completion, the rock bridge to Thugly’s Highrise (which seems to have an awesome party going on) will, er, crumble.
Thugly Stages: Here’s Thugly’s boss fight again, this time done solo without taking a hit. This er, mirrors the conditions of the extremely challenging Mirror Mode, which requires you to beat the entire game again. But there’s no Diddy, you have one hit, no items are allowed, and the whole thing is mirrored to disorient you. The mirroring doesn't really make a difference at Thugly’s Highrise, but sticking out the long battle without taking a hit may be one of the game’s greatest challenges.
Thugly Pics:
"Thugly charges at you after being hypnotized by Xylophone Tiki. The weak spot on his back is well protected by an opposite-of-a-weak-spot shell. When he comes to an abrupt halt, the shell will flip forward. At last, the time to strike! Thugly should really get some bungee cords or something to hold that in place."
Thugly's trophy and accompanying description from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
Thugly Poetry:
There once was a great purple beast,
Who had a great banana feast.
But then the Kongs came,
The beast tried to maim,
It did not go well in the least.
And now, if you live in North America, you can buy any of the Rareware Donkey Kong Country or Donkey Kong Land titles on Virtual Console and get 30% off Returns 3D (which is a great game that features Thugly! ) or Tropical Freeze (which is an incredible game that features the place where Thugly's Highrise used to be!) until March 3rd!
Thugly Stages: Thugly’s boss fight from Donkey Kong Country Returns. How have I not posted this yet?
Thugly Thor Super Smash Bros. Thive: Did you know that Thugly has the potential for the greatest Smash Bros. moveset of all time!? Fireballs, shockwaves, charging... The possibilities are limitless! He's easily the best choice for a Donkey Kong newcomer!
Thugly Trivia: Did you know that Thugly was voiced by a guy named Paco Shakespeare?* Yep, that’s right. Shakespeare. Thugly is art.
*according to an unsourced line on a Donkey Kong Wiki.
Thugly Poetry:
Big purple thingy
For some reason breathes fire
Super amazing
Thugly Thanart:
…It seems there is currently no fan art of Thugly. What are you people doing?
Things That Look Like Thugly: Mugly.
(But don’t tell him that, he gets a swelled head.)
Thugly Trivia: This is the music that plays during Thugly's boss battle. He may have to share the same melody with that poser boss of the Jungle world, but at least his is the awesome xylophone version! That's because every normal boss in Donkey Kong Country Returns uses the instrument of the Tiki Tak Tribe member that hypnotizes them in their battle theme. Kalimba for Mugly, Maracas for the Scurvy Crew, Gong for Stu, Banjo for Mole Miner Max, Flute for Mangoruby, Xylophone for Thugly, and Accordion for Colonel Pluck.
Also, today is New Year's Day, but I'm ignoring that because last Thursday was Christmas and we can't let them rule our Thursdays.
Thugly Pics: Today is Christmas, so I expect the massive amounts of traffic this blog gets to ease a bit since so many of you will be spending time with your families instead of the internet. Shame on you, Thugly is all the family you need! Look, he even has a hat!
Thugly Pics: Concept art of Thugly. While he’s mostly the same handsome fellow we all know and love, we can see several changes from the final design here, most notably a completely different back plating. His tongue is also green instead of black, and the rest of his body generally has more defined colors than in the final product, where they blend into each other more naturally. Finally, his hind leg is significantly different in shape.
Thugly Thursday: In retrospect, not really viable as a recurring feature.
The post that tempted fate itself. In the future, all Thugly Thursday posts will follow its format. We must never forget what happened last Thursday.
Introduction: Last week, the DK Vine Tumblar decided that Thugly Thursday was “not really viable as a recurring feature”. Pfffffffftttt. So to show them just how horribly wrong they are, I have created this Tumblr dedicated solely to Thugly Thursdays! Check back every Thursday for more of Thugly, the greatest achievement of mankind!
Also, I'm still tinkering with the layout, so hopefully it will become gradually less hideous over time.
