Bunson the Hot Dog

Bunson the Hot Dog is a giant Hot Dog boss. He started out as a normal Hot Dog, but was altered by Kamek's magic during the events of Yoshi's Woolly World. He grew to gigantic proportions, and is covered by flames. He is the main boss of World 2.

One of Bunson's main attacks is spitting small fireballs at Yoshi; Yoshi can turn these fireballs into Yarn Balls. In order to damage Bunson, Yoshi has to throw a Yarn Ball at his face once it changes to a grayish coloring. This causes Bunson's attack to backfire, stunning him, and exposing his tongue. Afterwards, Yoshi has to Ground Pound Bunson's exposed tongue to deal damage to him.

After taking damage, Bunson jumps in the background and tries to damage Yoshi by breathing a stream of fire at him; the stream travels even faster once Bunson has been damaged twice. He also tries to attack Yoshi by landing on him, but Yoshi can avoid the attack when Bunson jumps high enough. Three Ground Pounds onto Bunson's tongue defeats him.

Trivia

 * Bunson's name is a reference to Robert Bunsen, inventor of the Bunsen burner. In addition, it plays on the "hot dog bun" food item.
 * Bunson shares his weak spot with Big Bungee Piranha: their tongue.
 * Upon his transformation he gains a gold bracelet on each leg. Despite not having them previously, this may represent him being the King of the Hotdogs, as it is his castle.
