'''Jamjars''' is a character in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. | '''Jamjars''' is a supporting character in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series, making his debut in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. He is a very assertive drill seargent, contrary to his brother, [[Bottles]]. | ||
== | ==History== | ||
===''Banjo-Tooie''=== | ===''Banjo-Tooie''=== | ||
In ''Banjo-Tooie'', Jamjars can be first encountered in one of his [[silo]]s in the [[Mayahem Temple]] (although many items prior to that world would be explained by him when collected). After hearing about his brother's recent death, he offers to teach [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] new moves in his place. Unlike Bottles, however, Jamjars charges the duo [[Musical Note]]s before teaching them his "advanced techniques." When enough Notes are collected, Jamjars will briefly dance and rhyme to a tune in order to teach the bear and bird the moves. Afterwards, he will jump back in the silo (whose light will now be green). If {{button|N64|B}} is pressed next to a green-lighted silo, Jamjars will quickly recapitulate how to use the move learned in it. Similarly to Bottles, if Banjo's health is low when learning a move, Jamjars will provide "[[honeycomb|rations]]" to instantly refill his health bar. If [[Mumbo Jumbo]] tries to interact with him, Jamjars will say he "only teaches moves to bears and birds" and call him "a freak." | |||

Occasionally, when Jamjars teaches a move and opens the silo to leave, the hatch will close earlier, what causes him to hit his head. He will then retries to enter it, but opens it once again to grab his hat. | |||
