Don Bongo is a boss appearing primarily in Yoshi's Story.
History in the Super Mario franchise[edit]
Yoshi's Story[edit]
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 if he touches Don Bongo, simply bouncing off him instead. Only the items falling from the ceiling can hurt the Baby Yoshi.

History in other games[edit]
Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
Don Bongo in Super Smash Bros. Brawl appears as a sticker, which can applied to any fighter to increase the power of their explosion-based attacks by 25 points in The Subspace Emissary.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
Don Bongo in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate appears as a Shield-type Advanced-class primary 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 corresponding Spirit Battle takes place on the Yoshi's Story stage, featuring a large green King Dedede as the puppet fighter.

General information[edit]
Physical appearance[edit]
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 Gabon, and he likely used an edited version of Gabons' base model for their sprites.
Name origin[edit]
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."
Profiles and statistics[edit]
Yoshi's Story[edit]
- Shogakukan guide: バケツにヤカンにセンメンキ、金物のご用はドンババまで。 (Buckets, kettles, and water basins; for hardware, contact Don Bongo.)[2]
- Nintendo 64 Spieleberater: Wow, was für ein Freak. Der Typ ist so fett, daß er immer nur von links nach rechts laufen kann, das stelle ich mir ziemlich langweilig vor. Noch dazu fällt in seinem Raum andauernd etwas von der Decke. Davon kann ich immerhin einige Teile nutzen, um sie ihm gegen die Lippen, seinen Schwachpunkt, zu schubbern. [3] (Wow, what a freak. The guy is so fat that he can only walk from left to right, which I imagine is pretty boring. On top of that, there's always something falling from the ceiling in his room. At least I can use some parts of it to push them against his lips, his weak point.)
