Comentário
Don Bongo is the boss of World 3 in Yoshi’s Story attacking by dropping pots and pans on Yoshi with his thundering footsteps. Touching the Don himself won’t hurt Yoshi, but the cookware is deadly. Yoshi must hit Don Bongo in the lips to defeat him, but he moves a lot faster just before he’s down for the count. Aim carefully!
