Pon & Con are bosses of Kirby's Dream Land 3. They are fought together in the form of a tag-team, and must both be defeated in order to move on. The battle with them shares different qualities with all of the previous tag-team bosses; Lololo & Lalala (plowing into Kirby as means of attacking), Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright (the threat of aerial attacks) and Nruff & Nelly (they have a very similar battlefield and smaller version of them accompany them to battle). In the anime, Pon and Con appear as friendly characters who live alongside other animals in Acore's roots, and make small appearances every so often.
