-'''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 [[Kong]]s 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 [[Extra Life|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.

+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]].

 ==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 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.
