While [[Dancing Spear Guy]]s [[jump]] around with spears, bamboo dancers always come in color-coded pairs and dance with limbo sticks. Their stick can trip [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s and [[Health Meter#Yoshi's Story|lower their happiness]], so it must be jumped over to avoid damage. During gameplay, one dancer is in the foreground while the other is in the background, making them invincible.
