Comentário
Perhaps second only to King Dedede, Bonkers is the master of the Hammer ability, pioneering the famous Hammer Flip. He’s also able to throw exploding coconuts at his foes for a distanced attack! Like his simian appearance would suggest, he’s always in search of bananas, ready and waiting to destroy anything that gets in his way.
