- Trophy Thomas

Trophy Thomas, often shortened T.T., is a character in the Banjo-Kazooie series. He is an overly-competitive cheetah that hosts various challenges that often involve racing against him.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Trophy Thomas can be found in various worlds. In Showdown Town, he is located in front of his house and, by interacting with him, all completed challenges can be repeated (with the main objective of this being to obtain T.T. Trophies in all of them).

In Nutty Acres, he acts as "The Painfully Competitive Farm Mechanic", hosting challenges in Acts 2, 4, 5 and 6. In the first one, he races Banjo and Kazooie twice. In the second one, he asks for the duo to race Piddles for him, as his "top racing tractor" was being repaired. In the third one, he asks the two to stop some pipes from leaking. In the last one, he asks them to drive down the island's volcano.

In the Jiggoseum, he takes the role of "The Multiple Record Holder", hosting challenges in Acts 2, 3 and 6. In the first one, he races Banjo and Kazooie through the stadium. In the second one, he races the duo again through the same track as before, but with different obstacles. In the final one, the bear and bird need to drive around an obstacle-filled circuit with reversed controls.

Personality
Trophy Thomas is overly-competitive, often challenging Banjo and Kazooie to various races. He is also very arrogant and narcissistic, likely due to his many trophies and awards. He often barely admits defeat, regularly asking whoever won against him to not tell anyone else. According to Humba Wumba in L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges, Trophy Thomas is also very afraid of horses.
