Upon first meeting him, Boondog is in the midst of an identity crisis.
Role
As a result of his identity crisis, Boondog feels as if he's lost all of his flow and groove. He introduces the concept of having to clear four rhythm games to advance to the next area and asks Tibby and the player to do so for him. After clearing the first game, Karate Man, Boondog tells the player about coins, and to save them like pollen. After getting all games clear, Boondog tells the player how to advance to the next area.
He later appears again, where he is revealed to be guardian of Honeybee Tower as part of a tribe. After beating the rhythm games and the Remix, "Flow" is restored to the tower and he is able to return the tower's energy to the Power of Rainbow.
