Bink is a skeletal member of the S.S. Chuckola's crew that appears in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its 3DS remake, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. Mario and Luigi have to complete his barrel minigame to get a Membership Card to gain access to the bunker of the S.S. Chuckola, where a skeleton crew member 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 barrels in a row ten times to win.
