==Physical traits==
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.
 
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>
 
==Biography==
===''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''===
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]].''"
