+'''Bopapodamuses''' are a tree-climbing hippopotamus-like species that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They only appear in the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] world where a total of fourteen can be seen across two levels. There are six of them in [[Tippin' Totems]] and eight of them in [[Springy Spores]].
+During the levels, the [[Kong]]s must jump on the Bopapodamuses to get across large gaps. The Kongs can only jump on a Bopapodamus four times, after that it falls into the [[Pit|abyss]], leaving the Kongs vulnerable to also falling down. If the Kongs do not jump directly on a Bopapodamus's head, it swats them down into the pit, causing them to lose a [[Extra life|life]].

-'''Bopapodami''' are hippopotamus-like "enemies" that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. They only appear in the [[Forest]] area of the game in very few [[level]]s. They always seem to have a happy expression on their face. They are minor obstacles that the [[Kongs]] must jump on in order to get through gaps the Kongs can't jump across. But they have to be careful, since they can only jump on the Bopapodamus a certain amount of times until it faints and falls into the [[abyss]], taking out the [[Kongs]] along with it. If the Kongs do not make direct contact with the Bopapodami's head, it will simply swat them away, causing them to fall and lose a [[1-UP|life]].
 ==Trivia==
-*While the Bopapodamus is considered an enemy, it can also be seen as a pseudo [[Animal Buddy|animal buddy]], as it helps the [[player]] to jump over large gaps.
+*Bopapodamuses were planned to reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' but never made it in the final game. According to [[List of extras in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze#Images|concept art]] they were supposed to float on water surfaces instead of being on poles.
-**However, it can hurt the Kongs if they jump below its head.
