- Captain Blubber

Captain Blubber is a sea hippo and recurring character in the Banjo-Kazooie.

Banjo Kazooie
In Banjo-Kazooie, Treasure Trove Cove level, Captain Blubber lost his treasure and needed Banjo and Kazooie to go recover it (strangely enough, both pieces of treasure are in his ship.) One part is in the front half of the ship, which can be reached by swimming in the little pool and through the side of the ship. The second part is in the back half of the ship, which can be retrieved by Beak Busting a small wooden box-like object to make a hole in the ship's deck. Ironically, Blubber can't get it himself because he can't swim. At the end of Banjo-Kazooie, Captain Blubber is seen riding a wave racer into the sunset.

Banjo-Tooie
In Banjo-Tooie, Captain Blubber owns a somewhat unsuccessful shop where he gives Banjo a pair of Turbo Trainers in exchange for 1 doubloon. He then runs out of the store leaving a Shock Jump pad so that Banjo and Kazooie can get the Jinjo in the rafters. You can also use the Turbo Trainers to get the Jinjo in an alcove at the far end of the lagoon. His ship, the Salty Hippo, is sunken in Banjo-Tooie. At the end of the game, Captain Blubber is seen riding the Saucer of Peril (he is too big to fit inside so he is hanging on to the controls) into the sky above Cauldron Keep. A parody of the song from Treasure Trove Cove is played.

Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge
In Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, Captain Blubber appears in Breegull Beach as Little Blubber, a younger, past version of himself. He and his crew challenge Banjo to a game, where he must use his ship to hang onto a treasure chest longer than Blubber and his crew.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts
In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Captain Blubber is found in every world except Spiral Mountain and LOGBOX 720. He is shown to have a cheerful spirit throughout the game.

In Showdown Town, he crashes the Saucer of Peril in Showdown Town, although this is not shown. He stands at the Uptown area of Showdown Town, where he sells a Trapdoor Tower combination to Banjo and Kazooie. He wears his normal clothes, but they are dirty because he is still down on his luck.

In Banjoland, Captain Blubber does not play a certain role. He wears clothes similar to his normal attire, but with a golden Jiggy on his belt. He host challenges in Acts 1 and 6, although he appears in other races and challenges. He first wants Banjo to protect Clanker's eyeballs. He later warns that Mr. Patch has been revived and that Banjo and Kazooie must stop Mr. Patch.

In Jiggoseum, Blubber is a water sports enthusiast and is slightly upset of a lack of water in the world. He wears a bandanna, goggles and a life preserver around his waist. He host challenges in Acts 3 and 6. He first wants Banjo to prove his strength by lifting bowling balls, then he wants Banjo to light the Jiggoseum torch.

In Terrarium of Terror, Captain Blubber plays the role of the great space explorer, "Captain Flash McBlubber". He wears a space helmet in this world. Due to his role, Blubber is slightly more arrogant than in other worlds. He hosts challenges in Acts 2 and 3; at first he wants to challenge Banjo and Kazooie to a land and air race, and later wants them to test his new vehicle, the Super Sally.
