| ==Biography== | | ==Games== |
| Roysten is [[Banjo]]'s pet goldfish, serving little purpose aside from being caught in dangerous situations.
| | ===''[[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-Kazooie''=== | | ===''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''=== |
| 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. | | In ''[[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. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Banjo-Tooie''===
| | 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. |
| 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.

| |
|
| Inside [[Blubber's Waveracer Hire]] in [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]], a [[Informational Signpost]] hinting at Roysten's functionality can be found.
| | Interestingly enough, while he is seen on Bottles' plate, Roysten is the only character never named in the Character Parade. |
|
| |
|
| 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'.
| | ===''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]''=== |
| | 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]]''). |
|
| |
|
| ===''Grunty's Revenge''=== | | ===''[[Banjo-Pilot]]''=== |
| 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 on a shelf in the trophy room, where the player can see their achievement ribbons and trophies. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Banjo-Pilot''=== | | ===''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''=== |
| 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 appears in his fishbowl as a part in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts|Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & 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. |

| | 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. |

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. | | ==Trivia== |
