Samba de Amigo - Characters

Characters

• Amigo: He is the most popular maracas artist in the music scene today and is still hungry to become even greater. With his rhythm and perhaps luck, nothing can hold him back once he grabs the maracas. His soul food is none other than the baked bananas from his home town.
• Amiga: She made her Pop debut at a very young age and now she is one of the premier Pop idols. She is a precocious girl who might appear to some as a spoiled kid, yet many adore her just the way she is. Even Amigo must give in when his little sister starts whining at him. Her lucky charm is a pink flower she wears as an accessory that Amigo gave her as a present. Amiga also plays the tambourine.
• Linda: She is one of the hottest samba dancers in town who acts very mellow, but she has very high professional standards. She loves dancing by finding the groove and will often tell others that "if you're gonna do it, do it like a pro!" To remain in tip-top shape, she is currently dieting on veggie sticks.
• Bingo and Bongo: The wacky twin dancing bears work inside stuffed animal costumes that play drums. Bingo operates the blue mechanical bear while Bongo operates the pink mechanical bear. They love comedy shows, and when Bingo starts clowning, Bongo is right there to poke him around for a quick laugh. Although they seem rather young, the duo has been making a living in this business for quite a while doing what comes naturally to them. Occasionally they will get into a scuffle over a marshmallow snack.
• Rio: Rio was formerly the most popular Pop idol and he can't help but to act like a show-off. But once you get to know him better, he is actually an all around good guy who's always chasing his dreams. To bring him the luck he needs, he continues to eat onion rings every morning. He also plays a silver trumpet and usually has a rose in his hand. Due to his appearance, most players mistake Rio for being female.
• Chumba and Wamba: Chumba was the former boss of a street gang who turned his life around to become a mandolin player. Wamba owns a bar where Chumba frequently hangs out and he turns into a different kind of cheetah when he stands in front of a set of congas. During the daytime, Wamba is happy to serve up a refreshing tropical smoothie with some pistachios on the side. Chumba and Wamba were named after the band Chumbawamba, whose song "Tubthumping" appears in the games.
• Mr. Pose: A stick-figure-like character who tends to only appear as player instructions, although he is a computer opponent in one of the minigames.
