'''Jinjos''' are small creatures found in every game in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie series]]''. These bipedal teddy bear-like critters come in a variety of colors and are more intelligent than their appearance might let on. It is never explained in detail, but Jinjos seem to have some magical powers, possessing the ability to fly among other things.

These bipedal teddy bear-like critters come in a variety of colors and are more intelligent than their appearance might let on. It is never explained in detail, but Jinjos seem to have some magical powers, possessing the ability to fly among other things. They also seem to be able to breathe underwater and live in harsh environments, due to the fact that many Jinjos are found underwater or in other dangerous surroundings.


In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', it was revealed that Jinjos live in a [[Jinjo Village|small village]] and are ruled by [[King Jingaling]], a very large, yellowish Jinjo at least three times the size of a normal Jinjo. It was also revealed that there are evil versions of Jinjos, known as [[Minjo]]s, who disguise themselves as Jinjos and attack [[Banjo]] when he tries to collect them.

Five Jinjos - a [[Blue Jinjo|Blue]], a [[Green Jinjo|Green]], an [[Orange Jinjo|Orange]], a [[Purple Jinjo|Purple]], and a [[Yellow Jinjo]] - have been hidden throughout each world by [[Gruntilda]]. Once all five Jinjos are rescued, the player will be rewarded with one of the world's 10 Jiggies. Like [[Musical Notes]], Jinjos' positions are reset once [[Banjo]] leaves the world, meaning that he must go through and collect them all again if he misses any the first time. Jinjos will reappear in a world even after all five have been collected and will give Banjo and [[Kazooie]] an [[Extra Life]] rather than another Jiggy if they are collected again. In the XBLA version, they stay collected, like the notes.
