King Koopacabana
PERFORMER Frank Welker
DEBUT 1989

King Koopacabana is a fire-breathing dragon who features in the Muppet Babies episode "It's Only Pretendo."

He's the boss at the end of a video game level played by Baby Gonzo and Baby Piggy who tosses objects down a ramp to slow their ascent while he chugs on cans of soda. Defeating him means that Gonzo, as Super Bario Weirdo, gets closer to winning the Kingdom of Pasta Fazool. Piggy interrupts his gameplay and beats Koopacabana by spraying soda in his face, melting him à la The Wicked Witch of the West.

Although he's standing in for Donkey Kong, his name is a portmanteau for King Koopa from the Mario games and the Barry Manilow song "Copacabana."
