+'''Bink''' is a [[sailor]] that appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] have to complete his [[Barrel (minigame)|Barrel]] [[minigame]] to get a [[Membership Card (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Membership Card]] to gain access to the bunker of the [[S.S. Chuckola]], where a sailor that holds a piece of the [[Beanstar]] is at. Mario and Luigi cannot replay this minigame until they get to the [[Little Fungitown]] arcade, where Bink also reappears. In the mandatory play of Bink's Barrel minigame, Mario and Luigi must match five [[barrel]]s in a row ten times to win.
-'''Bink''' is a skeleton in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and a member of the [[S.S. Chuckola]]. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] have to complete his [[barrel]] mini-game to get a [[Membership Card]]. The [[player]] could not play this minigame again until they get to the [[Little Fungitown Arcade]] (where Bink also reappears).

+In the original game, Bink resembles a skeletal [[Kong]], particularly [[Donkey Kong]]. He also throws the barrels onto the board in his minigame, which is a reference to ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', and eats [[banana]]s when he is bored. In the 3DS remake, Bink uses the same character model as the rest of the sailors, a drastic change to his appearance compared to the original version.
-Bink looks like a skeletal version of [[Donkey Kong]], though whether he is an actual undead [[Kong]] is not explicately stated. He does, however, throw barrels in his minigame, which is an obvious reference to ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. Bink also eats [[Banana]]s when he's bored, which is unusual as skeletons do not normally eat anything; therefore, this trait may have been added to solidify the connection between Bink and the Kongs.
+In the data for the E3 2003 demo of the original game, early sprites of Bink can be found; these sprites depict him as almost identical to Donkey Kong, the only difference being the addition of a gray hat and shirt.<ref>Marionova, RETIRE, sage_of_mirrors, Ashe (October 24, 2023).
