'''Roysten''' is a recurring character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].


==Biography==
'''Roysten''' is [[Banjo|Banjo's]] pet goldfish. He appears in every game in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie series,]]'' but is usually a minor background character (except in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''), serving little purpose aside from showing up in humorous/dangerous situations.
Roysten is [[Banjo]]'s pet goldfish, serving little purpose aside from being caught in dangerous situations.


===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
==Games==
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', his first appearance, Roysten can be seen in [[Banjo's House]], swimming in his fishbowl. Near the ending, there is a cutscene that shows [[Mumbo Jumbo]] cooking Roysten on a barbecue.
===''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''===
He appears on a shelf in [[Banjo's House]] swimming around unhappily, then tapping the glass of his cramped bowl. Near the end of the game, [[Mumbo Jumbo]] is seen grilling Roysten on a barbecue.


===''Banjo-Tooie''===
===''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''===
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Roysten can be seen in Banjo's House, swimming in his fishbowl at the start of the game. After [[Gruntilda]] blows up the house, he ends up trapped under a boulder. When [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] approach it, Roysten explains to them that he was knocked off the barbecue and trapped under a large rock, which he begs them to destroy so that he can be freed. The rock can be destroyed using the [[Bill Drill]] ability. Once Roysten is freed, he asks to be put into a body of water, so Banjo puts him in the moat around [[Spiral Mountain]]. There, Roysten teaches the [[Fast Swimming]] ability to Banjo and Kazooie and increases their [[oxygen]] supply from 6 to 10 bubbles.
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie|Banjo-Tooie,]]'' Roysten is knocked off the barbecue (although you can see him in Banjo's House in the introduction) when [[Gruntilda]] blows up [[Banjo's House]] and gets trapped under a boulder that must be smashed using the [[Bill Drill]] ability.


Inside [[Blubber's Waveracer Hire]] in [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]], a [[Informational Signpost]] hinting at Roysten's functionality can be found.  
Once Roysten has been rescued and released into the moat around [[Spiral Mountain|Spiral Mountain,]] he teaches [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] how to [[Fast Swimming|swim faster]] and increases their [[oxygen]] from 6 to 10 bubbles. When [[Mrs. Bottles]] makes [[Bottles]] eat his burnt dinner, Roysten can be seen on the plate blinking and burnt.


Near the game's ending, Roysten is burnt and served by [[Mrs. Bottles]] to [[Bottles]], angry that he arrived home so late. In the character parade, Roysten is not shown as a standalone character, but appears on Bottles' plate as the mole's name appears.  In the [[Banjo-Tooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade release of the game]], however, this is fixed and Roysten's name appears in the scene alongside Bottles'.
Interestingly enough, while he is seen on Bottles' plate, Roysten is the only character never named in the Character Parade.


===''Grunty's Revenge''===
===''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Roysten makes a cameo in the opening and ending cutscenes, where he is seen on a barbecue outside of [[Banjo's House]], just like in ''Banjo-Kazooie''{{'}}s ending.
Roysten makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge|Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge,]]'' still stuck on the barbecue from ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' (as the events of this game take place between ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'').


===''Banjo-Pilot''===
===''[[Banjo-Pilot]]''===
In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', Roysten can be found inside his fishbowl in a shelf of the trophy room. This is the only game where Roysten has orange eyes instead of blue.
Roysten can be seen on a shelf where achievement ribbons and trophies are gathered in the trophy room.


===''Nuts & Bolts''===
===''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''===
{{quote|Bear's unlucky goldfish get cooked and squashed in previous games. Now Roysten have major vehicle accidents too!|[[Mumbo Jumbo]]|[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]}}
Roysten appears in his fishbowl as a part in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts|Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts &amp; Bolts,]]'' appears on the main menu, and is a [[Stop 'n' Swop]] part. The Stop 'n' Swop part is used only for decorational purposes and has no conventional use. (Note: ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' for the [[Xbox Live Arcade]] is required to collect the Stop 'n' Swop items). This part is required to fully make the [[LOG Banjo|L.O.G. Banjo]] vehicle, one of two vehicles (Humba Boat 2) to have a Stop N' Swop part.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Roysten appears in his fishbowl on the main menu, being highlighted and zoomed in when the Control Settings are selected.


Roysten is also featured in the '''Goldfish''' [[List of Nuts & Bolts vehicle parts|vehicle part]], unlocked through the [[Stop 'n' Swop]] feature, by obtaining the [[Mystery Egg#Blue Mystery Egg|Blue Mystery Egg]] in [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|''Banjo-Kazooie''{{'}}s Xbox Live Arcade release]]. It is one of the required parts to make the [[List of Nuts & Bolts pre-made vehicles#L.O.G.'s choices|L.O.G. Banjo]] vehicle, one of the few vehicles to use Stop 'n' Swop parts.
===Cameos===
Roysten makes a cameo appearance in two other [[Rare]] titles, ''[[Wikipedia:Grabbed by the Ghoulies|Grabbed by the Ghoulies,]]'' where he can be found in the Ghoulhaven Hall as an easter egg and tip his bowl much like he did in ''Banjo-Kazooie,'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Viva_Piñata|Viva Piñata,]]'' as a decorative item.


==Other appearances==
==Trivia==
In ''[[rarewiki:Grabbed by the Ghoulies|Grabbed by the Ghoulies]]'', Roysten can be found in a fishbowl in the classroom of [[rarewiki:Ghoulhaven Hall|Ghoulhaven Hall]]. Like in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Roysten swims around in circles and occasionally taps his bowl three times.
*Some have speculated that Roysten is indestructible, after surviving being cooked multiple times and being crushed by a boulder for an extended period of time (supposedly a day, despite him being "knocked off the barbecue" two years previously).
 
*Roysten has blue eyes in every ''Banjo-Kazooie'' game except ''Banjo-Pilot'', where he has orange and red eyes.
In ''[[rarewiki:Viva Piñata|Viva Piñata]]'' and ''[[rarewiki:Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise|Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise]]'', Roysten appears inside the fishbowl atop [[rarewiki:Miss Petula|Miss Petula]]'s head.<ref>[http://www.raregamer.co.uk/scribes-december-20th-2007/ Rare Scribes - December 20th, 2007] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20220914230159/http://www.raregamer.co.uk/scribes-december-20th-2007/ archive.org])</ref>
*In ''[[Banjo Tooie|Banjo-Tooie]]'', Roysten appears in Banjo's house during the card game with [[Bottles]] and [[Mumbo Jumbo]]. However, after [[Grunty |Grunty]] attacks the house and Banjo steps outside, you find that Roysten is stuck under a rock, claiming that he fell there from Mumbo's barbecue at the end of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.
 
In ''[[rarewiki:Kinect Sports: Season Two|Kinect Sports: Season Two]]'', Roysten appears inside his fishbowl in the mini-game Prize Driver.<ref>[https://twitter.com/RareLtd/status/536874589351968769 Rare Ltd. on Twitter: "@RawkHawk2010 @MiloScat Gregg says YES." / Twitter] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20210815140423/https://twitter.com/RareLtd/status/536874589351968769 archive.org])</ref>
 
==Behind the scenes==
Roysten was named after one of the artists that worked on ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', who the development team "couldn't believe [had] been given [Roysten] as a middle name."<ref>[https://youtu.be/kq-fpnnGzyU?t=615 Rare Revealed: Five Things You Didn't Know About Banjo-Kazooie - YouTube]</ref>
