'''Conga the Ape''' is a giant ape who first appears in [[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 trousers 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 piece. Another Jiggy can also be obtained 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.


==Physical traits==
==Games==
Conga is a large gorilla. In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', he wears a red shirt with black trousers and shoes. In ''Banjo-Tooie'', he wears circus attire, including a red carnival hat and a red jacket.
===''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''===
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 [[Ticket]]s, and if they've learned the Airborne Egg Aming move from Jamjars. Once all requirements are met, Conga runs off and disappears for the remainder of the game. He also acquired a carnival hat and jacket along with his other clothes. The tickets must be collected by defeating each of the four [[Fruity|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 Banjo|Van transformation]].


In some beta footage of ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Conga can be seen wearing a white shirt.<ref name="Preview VHS">[https://youtu.be/pEAcVcnpF2U Club Nintendo 1997 ''Banjo-Kazooie'' preview VHS]</ref>
==Trivia==
*Although Conga does not appear in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', he is directly referenced with the Citrus Slick vehicle part, which shoots oranges that slow down other racers. [[Mumbo Jumbo]] quotes ''"Brave Mumbo steal Conga's oranges to invent this."''
*It is unknown whether he intentionally set up the fight against [[Mr. Patch]] in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. If so, he presumably did it for revenge. However, if he did it for revenge, the question is why he refuses to let the pair in unless they know [[Airborne Egg Aiming]].
*Conga's carnival hat is available as a downloadable accessory for the first ''Viva Piñata'' game.
*When you are in Mumbo's Mountain and come to his tree in Termite Banjo form, he will call himself "Congo" rather than his real name because it was his beta name.
*Conga uses Donkey Kong's sound effects.
*In the development of Banjo-Kazooie:Nuts & Bolts when it was a remake of the first game Conga was gonna be self aware of his defeat in the first game and was gonna change his strategy. <ref> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R2sCzlT5Uc </ref>


==Biography==
==References==
===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', his debut appearance Conga is located in [[Mumbo's Mountain]], where he stands atop an orange tree. There are two [[Jiggy|Jiggies]] that [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] can obtain from him. If they go near Conga, he starts throwing an endless supply of [[orange]]s at them. One of Conga's Jiggies is buried under the ground. To obtain it, Banjo and Kazooie must trick Conga into throwing an orange at each of the three [[Orange Switch]]es on the ground. By doing so, the Jiggy pops out from the ground. Conga's other Jiggy can be obtained after [[Chimpy]] has raised the nearby tree stump. From there, Banjo and Kazooie can jump on a higher platform, where they can attack Conga by firing [[Blue Egg|egg]]s at him. Every time Conga is hit, he starts throwing more oranges at Banjo and Kazooie. After taking seven hits, Conga is defeated, and the duo are rewarded another Jiggy.


===''Banjo-Tooie''===
<references/>
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Conga is found in [[Witchyworld]], where he works as the ticket taker of the [[Big Top]] tent. He only allows Banjo and Kazooie to enter if they have all four [[ticket]]s and have learned the [[Airborne Egg Aiming]] move. If both requirements are met, Conga lets them in, telling them to "enjoy the show" before leaving.
 
===''Nuts & Bolts''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', a portrait of Conga in ''Banjo-Kazooie'' can be found next to the [[Click Clock Wood Tree]] exhibit in [[Banjoland]]. He is also directly referenced in [[Mumbo Jumbo]]'s description for the [[List of Nuts & Bolts vehicle parts|Citrus Slick]] vehicle part, where he claims to have stolen Conga's oranges to make it.
 
==Other appearances==
In ''[[rarewiki:Grabbed by the Ghoulies|Grabbed by the Ghoulies]]'', a monstrous version of Conga's head appears in the Trophy Room of [[rarewiki:Ghoulhaven Hall|Ghoulhaven Hall]].
 
In ''[[rarewiki:Viva Piñata|Viva Piñata]]'' and ''[[rarewiki:Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise|Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise]]'', "Conga's Top Hat" appears as an accessory for piñatas.
 
The battle against Conga in ''Banjo-Kazooie'' was referenced in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' trailer, "Best Friends," where Banjo & Kazooie, alongside [[mariowiki:Diddy Kong|Diddy Kong]], team up to take out a white Donkey Kong with an orange nearby.
 
==Flavor text==
===''Viva Piñata'' series===
*'''Conga's Top Hat description:''' "''This style was born from the fashion statement a lonely gorilla wanted to make after failing to create a thriving circus on the nearby [[Isle o' Hags]].''"
