How to unlock the Snake Charmer achievement in Doodle Jump for Kinect - Definitive Guide
This boss is relatively easy. Learn the patterns of which way it moves each time.
The goal is to destroy spikes off of its back by jumping on it. Each time you jump on its back, it will knock off some spikes. Do this 3 times, and then he will have no spikes left.
Now all you have to do is jump on its head. Let the boss go to the bottom of the screen, and jump on its head.
Once you defeat the boss, the achievement will unlock.
Good luck!
There are 4 parts to conquer him and to pass the level.
1) The easiest part:
Wait until the first platform of the stage appears and jump on it. As soon as the boss is moving out of his pipe jump on its tail. But be aware to touch a tail part perfectly on top and not sideways or inbetween.
Inbetween 1:
Now, the boss is waiting at one entrance of a pipe and there are coming small enemies out of the other 3 pipes. These are the small ones from the 3-headed monster you have defeated in earlier stages.
2) Not so hard part either:
The second part is also not so hard if you know what to do. There are 2 platforms appearing, but don't jump on any of them but rather stay at the most right edge of the level on the ground.
Once the boss is coming out of the top right pipe, wait until the tail is halfway out and then jump on the right platform. The boss will make a turn to the middle section and now it is easy to jump on one part of its tail again.
Inbetween 2:
The next mini section is almost the same as the first one except that there are coming 3 mini enemies out of almost every pipe. So move your hand to the pipe which is glowing and destroy them early.
3) The hard part:
This part made me go nuts for hours until I got it. There are 2 platforms appearing. A higher one on the left and a lower one in the middle of the stage. Stay underneath the left platform (you can't reach it without jumping on the other one). As soon as the boss is coming out of the bottom right pipe jump to the right to the platform in the middle. The boss will make a U-turn at the middle left part of the level and then come towards you. Now (VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!) jump over him to the left where you started the level as you can't jump on its tail the first time. The timing of your jumps is just off. So repeat the moves a second time when the boss is coming out of the bottom right pipe. The second time your jumps are timed differently, so when he is doing his U-tuen again, you are actually able to jump on the last part of its tail and finish this part!
Inbetween 3:
Inbetween 3 is in my opinion the same as inbetween 2. There are coming small enemies out of the pipes again, mostly 3 of them at the same time. Stay safe, move your hand to the glowing pipes and finish them off without risking them touching you.
4) The finish:
The forth part is ok. But be aware not to be too eager because the finish is close. In this last part the boss has no tail anymore and is not protected by thorns around him. So the goal is to jump on his head this time.
As for his movements, there is one platform appearing in the middle of the stage. Jump right away on it but stay at the very right part. The boss is now coming out of the top left pipe and doing a snakelike tour first to the right but then suddenly going down. So don't panic and as soon as he is moving down jump on his head and finish him off!
Congratulations!
You mastered the hive boss and officially finished Doodle Kump Kinect for Xbox 360!

You will get this by playing the game. This is the Boss you fight at the end of the Hive world.
How to defeat this boss: You cannot shoot or jump on top of this boss until the end he appears like a snake with 10 body parts. To damage him jump on his body parts and they will break off. This is the key to defeating this foe. Then enemies will come out of the walls, you can either dodge or shoot these (which ever you are better at). Now the boss should start zigzagging from top to bottom the timing here is critical because you can end up jumping into his head if you are too early or get splattered by him if you are too late. As before jump on his body segments and enemies will repeat the attack from the walls. After they are gone the boss appears again starting from bottom left does a lap of the level and returns to the top right hole. Jump on the body parts again and you should be able to jump on his head when he is at the bottom of the level once done the achievement should pop.
