Editing Don Bongo

'''Don Bongo''' is a boss from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. 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 bellybutton. He somewhat resembles a [[Spike#Yoshi's Story|Gabon]], and likely used an edited version of their base model for their sprites. 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.

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. 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 also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]]. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], the Don Bongo sticker can be used by any fighter to increase the power of their explosion-based attacks by 25 points.

 

Don Bongo also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a Shield-type Advanced-class primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. It does not grant any slots for support spirits. When used, it increases the power of fire-type attacks, such as [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath]]. The spirit's battle takes place on the [[Yoshi's Story (stage)|Yoshi's Story]] stage, featuring a large green [[King Dedede]] as the puppet fighter.
