Template:Character-infobox Bink is a skeletal member of the S.S. Chuckola crew that appears in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its 3DS remake, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. Mario and Luigi have to complete his barrel minigame to get a Membership Card to gain access to the bunker of the ship, where a skeleton crew member that holds a piece of the Beanstar is at. Mario and Luigi cannot replay this minigame until they get to the Little Fungitown arcade, where Bink also reappears. In the mandatory play of Bink's barrel minigame, Mario and Luigi must match five barrels in a row ten times to win.

In the original game, Bink resembles a skeletal Kong, particularly Donkey Kong. He also throws the barrels onto the board in his minigame, which is a reference to Donkey Kong, and eats bananas when he is bored. In the 3DS remake, Bink uses the same character model as the rest of the skeleton sailors of the S.S. Chuckola, a drastic change to his appearance compared to the original version.
