Hitting one of the switches will also reveal a hidden mechanical fish and a cove where Donkey Kong will need to face Clapper the seal.
[edit] Cranky's Lab
Cranky's Lab can be found in the only area of the level that is not surrounded by water. From the start of the level, if the player continues to go straight, they will be in a room with a wrecked ship. Going to the left and past the first barrel cannon, the player will come across another which they should enter and Cranky's Lab will be at the top.

[edit] Enguarde
Enguarde is the second Animal Buddy that can be used in Donkey Kong 64. He is also the last Animal Buddy that can be used in the game. Enguarde is a swordfish that can break open the treasure chests and the door with him on it. Lanky Kong is the only Kong who can use him.
[edit] Boss
The boss of Gloomy Galleon is Puftoss. Puftoss is a giant Puftup, a type of blowfish. Lanky Kong faces him in a coconut boat. He cannot be hurt by any attacks by Lanky, instead Lanky will need to drive through several DK Logos that appear around Puftoss. If enough are driven through, large poles appear out of the water and electrocute Puftoss. Each time Puftoss gets electrocuted, the DK Logos that Lanky needs to drive through, get smaller.
Puftoss will attempt to stop Lanky by shooting fireballs, creating shockwaves or sending smaller Puftups. When Puftoss is defeated, he will deflate like a balloon and flying into the air. It is not revealed what happens to Puftoss after this battle.
