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. Though normally friendly towards Banjo and Kazooie, the two battle him and two other rats to prevent the three from taking some Snowies from their home in a minigame in Freezing Furnace.

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".
