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


Roysten is [[Banjo]]'s pet goldfish. He appears on the game selection menu in [[Banjo-Kazooie]]. In [[Banjo-Tooie]], he becomes trapped under a boulder that must be smashed using the [[Beak Drill]] ability. When you take Roysten to the moat around [[Spiral Mountain]], he taches you to [[Swim Faster]] and gives you more bubbles.
==Biography==
Roysten is [[Banjo]]'s pet goldfish, serving little purpose aside from being caught in dangerous situations.
 
===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
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-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.
 
Inside [[Blubber's Waveracer Hire]] in [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]], a [[Informational Signpost]] hinting at Roysten's functionality can be found.
 
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'.
 
===''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.
 
===''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.
 
===''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]]}}
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.
 
==Other appearances==
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.
 
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 ''[[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>
