Dankenstein was the name given to Sir Daniel Fortesque whilst he was possessing a monstrous body with his head.

History

Upon learning Lord Palethorn's plan to kill them using the robotic Iron Slugger, Princess Kiya and Professor Hamilton Kift got to work on making a monster that could fight back. When Dan arrived at the Professor's Lab, he was immediately told to collect the limbs needed for the monster. Unfortunately, the Professor managed to destroy the monster's head. Fortunately, he came up with the idea of having Dan put his head on the monster instead.

In the end, Dankenstein and the Iron Slugger duked it out in a boxing match, with Dankenstein coming out on top.

Gameplay

Dankenstein is first assembled in the level of the same name. Dan needs to kill the Limb Creatures in order to collect all of the limbs: The Bum, Left Arm, Left Leg, Right Arm, Right Leg, and the Torso.

Dankenstein is then played in Iron Slugger.
