Mr. Ripovski

Mr. Ripovski is a character in Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge. Unlike other non-player characters in the game, Mr. Ripovski appears in several of the game's levels in various guises, such as a scavenger in Breegull Beach and as a sideshow host in Spiller's Harbor. Each time he appears, he sets Banjo and Kazooie on a task that will reward the pair with a Jiggy each time. Banjo can replay the mini-games only after he collects enough gold coins on the slide (the mini-game you play during the credits) and then he must go to the N. Kreditz Arcade machine in Spillerston.

In Banjo-Pilot, Mr. Ripovski makes an appearance at the awards ceremony along with other characters from Grunty's Revenge.

Judging from his personality, Mr. Ripovski's name is likely a pun on "rip-off".
