In ''Banjo-Tooie'', Jamjars is found in [[Jamjars' hatch|hatch]]es that are located around the [[Isle o' Hags]] and its levels. Jamjars can first be encountered at [[Mayahem Temple]], where he learns of Bottles' death from Banjo and Kazooie. As such, Jamjars agrees to help the duo on their adventure by teaching them moves along the way. Whenever Banjo and Kazooie collect a type of item the first time, even before meeting Jamjars, he explains the item and its purpose to them. Furthermore, Jamjars allows Banjo and Kazooie to use his network of [[silo]]s to quickly travel between areas.

*'''Manual profile:''' "''Having joined the mole military when he was just a nipper, Sergeant Jamjars is as different to his brother Bottles as chalk is to cheese. Those years of rigid rodent discipline may explain his lack of manners and sense of humor, but his advanced ability training will be essential if the bear and bird are to stand a chance of defeating the evil coven.''"
