Don Bongo, the dinosaur-like enemy.
- “Try to dodge my bouncing blubber. Just don't hit my lip of rubber.”
- —Don Bongo, Yoshi's Story
Don Bongo is a boss from Yoshi's Story. He is at the end of Stage 3-4: Frustration. Don Bongo mildy resembles a Gabon, except that he has scales and spotted skin. Don Bongo attacks by stomping back and forth across the room, and by causing pots and pans to rain down from the ceiling. To defeat Don Bongo, Yoshi has to hit him in the lips three times.
Don Bongo might have been the inspiration for Tubba Blubba, a giant Clubba from Paper Mario. Also, one may infer that the "don" in Don Bongo's name derives from the "don," the Spanish word for "lord." "Bongo" may refer to the sound of his footsteps, which resemble the sound of a low drum such as a timpani.
