{{Nihongo|Boondog|ブンブン|Bunbun}} is a character encountered in [[Honeybee Land]] and [[Honeybee Tower]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.

After [[Tibby]] falls from the sky and meets the player, they try going to the [[Lush Tower|Green Tower]] they saw in the distance. After a while, they end up in [[Honeybee Land]], where they meet Boondog, who has lost his flow and cannot let them pass until they help him. He describes this feeling as an identity crisis<ref>"Lately, I've been having a bzzzit of an identity crisis. I feel like I've fallen off my rhythm--lost my flow." ~ [[Boondog]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. In order to restore it, the player and [[Tibby]] must clear four [[Rhythm Games]].

After clearing the first game, Boondog tells the player about the [[coins]] they just received<ref>"That window is letting the light of hope shine in. Bzzark! Just keep flowing like fresh honey, friend! Oh, one more thing. As a {{color|E40000|reward}} for your hard work... you got some {{color|#EC1515|coins}}! Hang on to them for {{color|E40000|something good}} later. You'll want to collect them like pollen!" ~ [[Boondog]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. After getting the All Clear, Boondog is once again inspired, and unlocks the door to [[Machine Land]]. He informs the player on how they can move on to the next land, and asks them to come back and visit<ref>"Just press ✚ to go on to the next stage. And don't forget to use ✚ to come back and visit!" ~ [[Boondog]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>.

After [[Honeybee Land]] has been cleared, Boondog may visit the [[Café]] as a customer, where the player can talk to him. He supports the [[Café]] as a [[Barista|dog-owned business]], and says it is his favorite place to relax. He always drinks tea with honey<ref>"Bzzzark--I mean hello! This Café is my favorite place to relax. I like to support dog-owned bzzznesses, and the owner provides honey for the tea. I hope you like it as much as I do. Make yourself at hive!" ~ [[Boondog]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>, but he sometimes puts too much of it<ref>"I have a confession to make. I put WAY too much honey in this tea. The barista caught me at it yesterday. He was hurt that I can't taste his tea. It's not that I don't like his tea! I just LOVE honey! Please don't tell him I did it, OK? I wouldn't want to spoil our friendship." ~ [[Boondog]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. Boondog also suspects he and the [[Barista]] might be related<ref>"The other day, I was talking to the barista about families. And I got this suspicion that maybe he and I are related! So I asked him if there are any bees in his family. He just got this funny look and said, "Could be." But the way he said it? I heard TWO Es." ~ [[Boondog]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. He acknowledges that [[Honeybee Land]] doesn't have as many bees as one might expect, and asks the player to help them out as a favor while he drinks his tea<ref>"So you know how I come from Honeybee Land? You'd think it would be crazy full of bees, right? But there are only four bees there! You can see them next time you visit. As you'd guess, they're real, real bzzzzy keeping the place running. Would you do me a favor and help them out? ...What about me? I haveother responsibilities. This tea won't drink itself, pal." ~ [[Boondog]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. His mother is worried about his health<ref>"My mom called the day before yesterday. She asked how I was feeling, and I told her I've been tired. She said that probably means I should change my diet. What do you think? Does food affect your energy? Should I be eating even MORE honey?" ~ [[Boondog]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>, and she scolds him for spending all his money at the [[Shop]]<ref>"Are you heading to the shop later? I love getting Rhythm Items there, but... I always spend all my money and get scolded by my mom. Someday I'll act more like a drone and less like a larva!" ~ [[Boondog]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. Boondog is a big fan of video game, and his mother tells him he spends too much time on them. Boondog notices one time that she was playing anyway after he'd gone to bed<ref>"Do you ever play video games? I'm a big fan. My mom says I spend too much time with them, but... the other night I heard her playing after I went to bed! Ever notice that adults don't always follow their own advice?" ~ [[Boondog]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. Boondog mentions he had been stung by a bee once<ref>"Have you ever been stung by a bee? I have. But just once. And I did nothing! Just minding my own bzzzness! So I asked the bee that stung me why she did it. You know what she said? "Because I'm a bee." Some people, you know?" ~ [[Boondog]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>, and he likes maple syrup on pancakes instead of honey, for which he feels like he's letting his people down<ref>"There's something I've been keeping a secret for a while. You may not believe this, but I...I... I always put maple syrup on my pancakes. Not honey. Are you...disappointed in me? I feel like I've let my people down, you know?" ~ [[Boondog]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>.
