During development, the first boss fight to be planned for the end of each set of stages was a giant flying squirrel named Momogaa, or simply "The Giant Squirrel" in English (according to an issue of Nintendo Power magazine). The Giant Squirrel would fly around and drop nuts that Mario could then throw back at it, and was roughly 1.5 times the size of Donkey Kong. This size difference, on top of it being the first boss, were the reasons it was scrapped from the final game, as it made Donkey Kong seem less threatening in comparison. The Giant Squirrel would briefly see use as a villain in Kodansha Comics' Super Mario manga in 1995, in which it leads an army of Kremlings from Donkey Kong Country against the protagonists of both games in retribution for being cut from the Game Boy game.
