George Ice Cube

"Hey, young man! I'm George Ice Cube, stuck up here at this perilous altitude."

- George Ice Cube

George Ice Cube is a giant Chinker who is lives on Icy Side of Hailfire Peaks with his wife Mildred, right beside Boggy's Igloo. However he was recently caught in a surprise windstorm and whisked away to Cloud Cuckooland. Luckily the place he landed was right above Hilfire Peaks, so he asks Banjo and Kazooie to give him a push down so he can be with Mildred once more.

Unfortunately, his judgment was slightly wrong in the sense he was actually above the the Fire Side of Hailfire Peaks rather than the Icy Side, so he plunges to his untimley death. He ends up landing in a pool of scolding hot water, where he meets his horrific end. Fortunately for Banjo and Kazooie though, this makes the water cooler, allowing them to empty it into Piggles and Trotty's pool in Jolly Roger's Lagoon, who reward them with a Jiggy. This chain of events also uncovers a Flight Pad in Cloud Cuckooland which, prior to his demise, George was blocking.

As he melts, George asks the duo to tell his wife that he loves her, but didn't finish his sentance.

Later on in the series, in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, crude, blocky ice sculptures of George and Mildred appear in Banjoland as props in the Freezeezy Peak display. They don't bear much resemblance to the real ice-cube-couple, and are dressed in frozen hats and clothing. A mission involves bringing the sculpture of George (who has fallen below into the Gobi's Valley display) back to the Sculpture of Mildred.

Trivia

 * It is likely that both George and his wife Mildred might have been named after the British television show, George and Mildred.
