| ===''Yoshi's Story''===
| |
| [[File:Don Bongo Battle.png|thumb|[[Yoshi (species)|Green Yoshi]] about to battle Don Bongo in ''Yoshi's Story'']]
| |
| In ''Yoshi's Story'', Don Bongo is fought at the end of Stage 3-4: [[Frustration]]. He attacks by stomping back and forth across the room, causing pots and pans to rain down from the ceiling. To defeat Don Bongo, a [[Baby Yoshi]] has to hit him in the lips three times; hitting him anywhere else will simply cause the egg to bounce off his blubber. After each hit, Don Bongo's lips swell, making them a somewhat easier target, although his movement becomes a lot faster after his lips are hit twice. The Baby Yoshi does not lose any [[Health Meter|health]] if he touches Don Bongo, simply bouncing off him instead. Only the items falling from the ceiling can hurt the Baby Yoshi.

| | '''Don Bongo''' is a boss from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. He is fought at the end of Stage 3-4: [[Frustration]]. Don Bongo is a dinosaur-like creature with green skin and yellow spots, a yellow stomach with stripes, and a big orange and yellow belly button. Don Bongo attacks by stomping back and forth across the room, sometimes causing pots and pans to rain down from the ceiling. To defeat Don Bongo, [[Baby Yoshi]] has to hit him in the lips three times. Baby Yoshi does not lose any health if he touches Don Bongo, simply bouncing off him instead. Only the items falling from the ceiling can hurt Baby Yoshi. |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
| |
| Don Bongo in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]], which can applied to any fighter to increase the power of their explosion-based attacks by 25 points in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]]. | |
|
| |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
| |
| Don Bongo in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' appears as a Shield-type Advanced-class [[smashwiki:Primary spirit|primary spirit]]. It does not grant any slots for [[smashwiki:Support spirit|support spirits]]. When used, it increases the power of fire-type attacks, such as [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath]]. The corresponding [[smashwiki:Spirits#Spirit Battles|Spirit Battle]] takes place on the [[Yoshi's Story (stage)|Yoshi's Story]] stage, featuring a large green [[smashwiki:King Dedede (SSBU)|King Dedede]] as the puppet fighter.

| ==General information==
| |
| ===Physical appearance===
| |
| Don Bongo is a pudgy dragon-like creature with green skin and yellow spots, big red lips, a yellow stomach with stripes and a big orange and yellow belly button. He somewhat resembles a [[Spike#Yoshi's Story|Gabon]], and he likely used an edited version of Gabons' base model for their sprites. | |
| | |
| ===Name origin===
| |
| The "don" in Don Bongo's name may derive from "don," the Spanish word for "lord," while "Bongo" may refer to the sound of his footsteps, which resemble the sound of a low drum such as a timpani. It may also be an attempt to translate his Japanese name to English, as the sound he makes while walking is "donbaba."
