Trophy Thomas

"Pah! I know I could have done it faster."

- Trophy Thomas

Trophy Thomas is a character from the Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. He is a cutthroat cheetah and is described as an "overly-competitive braggart", whom enjoys contests and challenges. During every challenge, if you complete it in the fastest time possible or by getting a very high score, you get a T.T. Trophy. When you earn four T.T. Trophies, Trophy Thomas gives you a Jiggy. He appears as a challenge host in Nutty Acres and the Jiggoseum. He bears a slight resemblance to Timber the Tiger, who first appeared alongside Banjo in Diddy Kong Racing.

Showdown Town
T.T. stays by his house. There is a Jig-O-Vend near his house that give the Jiggies from the challenges. He also provides a shortcut to challenges by talking to him. He wears his normal blue shorts while he stays in town.

Nutty Acres
Trophy Thomas appears as the farm mechanic for Mumbo's Nuts. He wears light blue denim shorts in this world. He doesn't do much work and is usually looking for someone to beat in a challenge. He actually complains when Humba tells him to do something. He hosts in Acts 2, 4, 5 and 6. He first races the bear and bird in order to prove his dominance, but loses (twice). He later tells you that Piddles is waiting to race. Then he makes you clog the leaky spouts. Finally he wants you to freewheel down the volcano. He seems to have a rivalry with Mr. Fit, as the two are in the running for the Farmhand of the Year award.

Jiggoseum
T.T. acts as the world's best competitor as implied by the giant gold statue over the jump ramp. He proudly wears a gold medal and red and white shorts. He hosts mainly racing challenges in Acts 2, 3 and 6. He first challenges Banjo to a long-distance race around the track. Later he hosts a hurdle challenge. He then hosts a challenge involving a vehicle that runs with backwards controls. His rivalry with Mr. Fit is seen here as well. The two have different teams on the scoreboard and Fit appears as another racer in T.T.'s challenges.

Personality
Trophy Thomas is described in-game as "thinking he's great". He is overly competitive and is quite arrogant and full of himself due to this. In fact, he can even come off as cruel. He hates to lose and will barely admit defeat. He seems to have a short fuse and violently stamps his foot when he loses.
