'''Don Bongo''' is a boss from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Don Bongo is a pudgy dragon-like creature with green skin and yellow spots, big red lips, a yellow stomach with stripes, and a big orange-and-yellow bellybutton. He somewhat resembles a [[Spike#Yoshi's Story|Gabon]], and likely used an edited version of their base model for their sprites. The "don" in Don Bongo's name may derive from "don," the Spanish word for "lord," while "Bongo" may refer to the sound of his footsteps, which resemble the sound of a low drum such as a timpani. It may also be an attempt to translate their Japanese name to English, as the sound they make while walking is "donbaba".

Don Bongo also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a Shield-type Advanced-class primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. It does not grant any slots for support spirits. When used, it increases the power of fire-type attacks, such as [[Bowser]]'s [[Fire Breath]]. The spirit's battle takes place on the [[Yoshi's Story (stage)|Yoshi's Story]] stage, featuring a large green [[King Dedede]] as the puppet fighter.
