The Burning Bongos are a cosmetic item for the Pyro. They replace the Pyro's default napalm grenades with three small bongo drums, as seen in Meet the Pyro. This item may only be seen in-game by users who are in Pyroland.
When equipped, players are able to see in Pyrovision; map textures are replaced with those of Pyroland, gibs and pickups are replaced with their counterparts from birthday mode, low-violence mode becomes active, other players' voices become high-pitched, and all players laugh when injured or killed.
