Conga, Banjo-Kazooie

Conga is a large gorilla[1] and a boss that appears in both Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie. In the first game, Conga is wearing a red shirt with black trousers and shoes. In the latter game, he wears circus attire, including a red carnival hat and a red jacket. Conga has a protective nature and has the role of guarding something in both games.

Game appearances

Banjo-Kazooie

In Banjo-Kazooie, Conga is located in Mumbo's Mountain, where he stands atop an orange tree. There are two Jiggies that Banjo and Kazooie can obtain from him. If they go near Conga, he starts throwing an endless supply of oranges at them. guarding the 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 Switches 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 eggs 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 tickets 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.

Other appearances and cameos

Although Conga does not appear in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, he is directly referenced in Mumbo Jumbo's description for the Citrus Slick part, "Brave Mumbo steal Conga's oranges to invent this."

Conga's carnival hat is a downloadable accessory in the first Viva Piñata.

In the canceled Banjo X, Conga would have been aware of his defeat in the original Banjo-Kazooie and therefore change his battle strategy.[2]
