-'''Bopapodamus''' are hippo-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]], killing the [[Kongs]] along with it. If the Kongs do not make direct contact with the Bopapodami's head, it will simply swat away one of the Kongs, causing them to lose a [[1-UP|life]].
+'''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 they appear in many of its [[level]]s.
-==Trivia==
+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 directly jump on a Bopapodamus's head, it swats them down into the pit, causing them to lose a [[Extra life|life]].
-* While the Bopapodamus is considered an enemy, it can also be seen as a kind of "[[Animal Buddy]]", as it helps the [[player]] to jump over large gaps, plus it seems happy to help the Kongs out.

-** However, it ''can'' hurt the player if he/she jumps below its head.
-* It is unknown whether the Bopapodamus was one of the animals the [[Tiki Tak Tribe]] hypnotised or not. It does seem that way, through.
