Appearance[]
During the beginning of his stage, Pander appears to be a small panda. After a short while during playing in his stage, Pander transforms into his human form. He is bald, with his whole body painted to resemble a panda. In some areas, the paint is dripping and smudged. He wears a gold wristwatch, and white briefs. On his right leg, he wears one slightly stained white tube sock, and a single brown dress shoe. During some of his dance moves, certain Fever Times, and in his 3D character portraits, he holds a yellow paper fan printed with the rising sun.
Pander's alternate costume largely remains the same, but he gains a single cartoonish flower growing out of a patch of green grass on his head.
Trivia[]
- Pander's character select symbol in Bust A Groove 2 is a dragon mahjong tablet with a riichi betting stick.
- When the player plays as Pander, he retains his human appearance for the entire stage rather than transforming into this form from a small panda like when you encounter him in his stage. However, when playing as Pander against himself in his own stage, the CPU starts off as the small panda, that later turns into his human form.
- During his ending in Bust A Move 2, as Pander enters the Dancing Heroes stage, he wonders where everybody has gone. That is because all the audience including the host James Suneoka all ran away in fear because of his creepy look, so he does nothing but dance alone in the dark during the credits roll.
- Pander is the only character who doesn't have a portrait drawn by Hideyuki Tanaka on the character select screen. He instead has, what appears to be, an photo of an actual human being painted to look like a panda. Who this person is, is unknown at this time.
