Mr. Vile

"Hur...hur...hur! I'm Mr. Vile, greediest croc of all! Play my game to win a prize!"

- Mr. Vile

Mr. Vile is an aggressive, red crocodile and the the self-proclaimed "greediest croc of all". His name is derived from the word "vile", meaning "extremely unpleasant", "morally bad" or "wicked".

Banjo-Kazooie
In Banjo-Kazooie, Mr. Vile is found inside the nostrils of a giant, green crocodile in Bubblegloop Swamp. Crocodile Banjo can enter it, where Mr. Vile challenges him to a three-round contest where they compete to eat more Yumblies and/or Grumblies.

Each of the three rounds have different objectives: In the first round, Banjo must eat more Yumblies than Mr. Vile. In the second round, Banjo must eat more Yumblies while avoiding the Grumblies. In the third round, Banjo must eat either Yumblies or Grumblies, depending on the icon at the top of the screen.

Once Banjo has completed all three rounds, he is rewarded a Jiggy. If he loses, Mr. Vile starts chasing after Banjo to try and bite him. If Mr. Vile bites Banjo, he loses two Honeycombs of his health. After Banjo has obtained the Jiggy, Mr. Vile offers him to compete in a second, optional challenge in which Banjo can play three more rounds for three Extra Lifes. If Banjo loses this challenge, he loses a life.

Banjo-Tooie
In Banjo-Tooie, Mr. Vile is mentioned during the Tower of Tragedy Quiz. In a question, Gruntilda asks "which Banjo-Kazooie character wasn't seen in Banjo-Tooie", with the right answer being "Mr. Vile" and the wrong answers being "Captain Blubber" and "Tiptup".

Mr. Vile was originally supposed to appear in the game, however. He was found in Terrydactyland, and had a baby. The idea was eventually scrapped for unknown reasons.
