The Great Mighty Poo, also known simply as Mighty Poo[1] and The Beast of Poo Mountain,[2] is a character in Conker's Bad Fur Day and Conker: Live & Reloaded.
Characteristics
The Great Mighty Poo is a giant opera-singing excrement and the boss of the Sloprano chapter, and his lair is the interior of Poo Mountain. He is voiced by Chris Marlow, and is the only male character to not be voiced by Chris Seavor. His interests include eating Sweet Corn and singing opera, and he has an easily irritable personality.
Biography
When Conker first entered Poo Mountain's interior, a Dung Beetle flies into Conker, warning him that something bad inhabits Poo Mountain. The Dung Beetle provides a flashback of when a "giant hand" had killed his friends, Tezza and Bazza, by dragging them into the poo.
The area has some Sweet Corn, and Conker hears a mysterious voice ordering anyone to provide him. Conker, not knowing the origin of the voice, ends up listening. Conker can grab a piece of Sweet Corn by knocking it down with his Frying Pan, carrying it to a platform, and throwing it into the center pool. There is a giant brown hand for him to avoid. When the first Sweet Corn is thrown in, a cutscene parodying Jaws plays; the Sweet Corn floats in the pool, looks around, and then whirls down, screaming.
Conker must head up the trail and throw two more Sweet Corn in from another ledge. The giant hand follows him there and will continue attempting to swat him from the pits in the pathways. Afterward, Conker must continue going through the trail and throw three more in from the final ledge. In Live & Reloaded, Conker only has to throw in one Sweet Corn from each location. When the final Sweet Corn is thrown in, the Great Mighty Poo dramatically emerges from the center pool, puts the last one in his mouth as a makeshift tooth, and begins to sing his own opera song, complete with orchestra-based instrumentation in the background.
After singing the first verse, the Great Mighty Poo pulls off chunks of poo from himself and tosses it at Conker. Conker must avoid it and go to a nearby Context Zone, which provides him a large roll of Toilet Paper. The Great Mighty Poo follows Conker, who must throw the Toilet Paper in his mouth when he opens it to sing his vocal chorus. After being hit once, the instrumentation picks up, and the Great Mighty Poo sings the second verse. He attacks at an increased pace. After the next two hits, the tempo of the song increases dramatically as he sings the third verse. The Great Mighty Poo now vocalizes a lot faster, and Conker needs to quickly throw Toilet Paper, as The Great Mighty Poo now vocalizes much faster than in the previous two rounds. After the next three hits, he does his finale soprano shriek, which causes the glass shielding the "toilet flusher" to shatter. Conker must run to the flusher and pull on it, which ultimately defeats and flushes the Great Mighty Poo into the void.
This boss fight is the only one that Conker can exit from. The boss battle resets when Conker re-enters the area.
Trivia
- The Great Mighty Poo's eyes and mouth have green sclera in Conkers's Bad Fur Day, but in Conker: Live & Reloaded his sclera are white, and his pupils are perpetually crosseyed.
- In Conker: Live & Reloaded, his singing voice was re-recorded to resemble his speaking voice, and his eyes also no longer move.
- While chasing the Sweet Corn, the Great Mighty Poo's hands are a lot bigger than their size in the fight.
- The Great Mighty Poo flips the bird to the Dung Beetle in Live & Reloaded.
