Conga

"Yarrrr! Egg hurt Conga!"

- Conga

Conga is a giant ape who first appears on Mumbo's Mountain on top of an orange tree of which he is very possessive, throwing oranges at anyone who comes near it. He wears a red shirt with black pants and shoes. In order to defeat him and obtain a Jiggy, Banjo and Kazooie must steal an Orange by climbing the tree and giving it to Chimpy, a small monkey who is quite fond of the fruits. Chimpy will allow them access to a perch from which Blue Eggs can be fired at Conga, damaging him and eventually forcing him to surrender the glittering jigsaw. Another Jiggy can also be obtain from Conga by standing on each of the three blocks around the tree and tricking him into hitting the blocks with oranges, causing them to vanish and reveal a Jiggy when all three have been hit.

Conga appears again in Banjo-Tooie where he guards the entrance to the Big Top tent in Witchyworld. He will only admit Banjo and Kazooie into the tent if they turn over four Tickets, after which Conga runs off and disappears for the remainder of the game. He also acquired a carnival hat along with his other clothes. The tickets must be collected by defeating each of the four Fruities, the killer slot-machine monsters, around the tent by hitting them with Grenade Eggs, a well-aimed Bill Drill, or by ramming them with the Van transformation.

Trivia

 * Although Conga does not appear directly in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, he is directly referenced with the Citrus Slick vehicle part, which shoots oranges that slow down other racers. "Brave Mumbo steal Conga's oranges to invent this."
 * He is the character with the most Jiggies associated with him in Banjo-Kazooie with three.
 * It is unknown whether he intentionally set up the fight against Mr. Patch in Banjo-Tooie. If so, he presumably did it for revenge.
 * Conga uses the same soundbyte as Donkey Kong.
 * Conga's carnival hat is a downloadable accessory for the first Viva Pinata game.
