Chris P. Bacon

"I'm on vacation, trying to photograph those lovely paintings on the wall down there."

- Chris P. Bacon

Chris P. Bacon is, as his name suggests, a pig. You'll find him dangling in a cage in Temple of the Fishes in Jolly Roger's Lagoon, Atlantis. Even though you find him in a cage, your job is not to help him out of the cage, but to protect him from nasty fish when he is lowered down into the water to film the walls (using a Nintendo Gameboy and Camera pak). To kill the fish, shoot them with Eggs. Also, Piggles or Trotty may presumably be his child. He wears blue flippers and swimming trunks with the Union Jack on them, a reference to Rareware's English base.

He was part of a contest that ran in an issue of Nintendo Official Magazine UK, where ideas for his name were submitted. The winner, Simon Turk, submitted Chris P. Bacon.

Trivia

 * His name is a play on the words of "Crispy Bacon".
 * His camera is actually a Game Boy Camera, with the Game Boy Color in his hand. This does not change even in the Xbox Live Arcade re-release.
 * His swimming trunks are of the British flag.
