Bink resembles a skeletal version of [[Donkey Kong]], though whether he is an actual undead [[Kong]] is not explicitly 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 is bored.

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, and eats bananas 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.

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.[1]
