Similar to Klungo in Banjo Tooie, since he is most likely TheDragon. Each time you fight him, he uses a different machine to fight you, like how Klungo uses a different potion each time you fight him. Also like Klungo, after you beat him the final time, he performs a HeelFaceTurn

He will be freed from his shoddy mech suit, revealing that his body is now featherless and scrawny, a metaphor for ateophied creative muscles. He boldly declares his intention to start making what he wants to make - look out world! - and begins enthusiatically but feebly slapping at a keyboard. Yooka and Laylee just walk away - not so much a HeelFaceDoorSlam as a Heel-Face Door-Slowly Shut-While-Peering-Sadly-Through-The-Ever-Closing-Gap.

[[WMG:And if Rare announces Banjo-Threeie...]]
Possibly as an original part of that sequence, possibly as a 100% completion bonus or possibly added later like Portal's SequelHook ending, the resulting gibberish on the monitors begins to coalesce into an anthropomorphic shape as ominous music plays. What will Dr. Quack make? Could it possibly succeed? Will it fall flat on its face? Or will it be so terrible as to threaten its entire genre? Time will tell.

Shortly before they died, the authors of the books Yooka and Laylee travel through wrote one last book, possibly a crossover between each of the previous books. When they get freed, they are actually warped to the final world. It would be a good excuse to bring back old enemies (assuming they aren't from outside the books or could already travel through them) and could add to the diffaculty of the world by brining back all the previous Ghost Writers (characters who are already meant to be hidden).

Pretty self-explanatory. Like those two areas, it could also have special secrets inaccessible at the start of the game, and maybe even a secret mini-game, much like Bottles' bonus in ''Banjo-Kazooie''.
