In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Clanker is bound to a massive chain in the large, central room of [[Clanker's Cavern]]. Most of the level is centered around him, as the level title suggests. Almost his entire body is submerged underwater. When [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] first encounter Clanker, he explains his unfortunate circumstance of breathing in unclean water and wants to breathe in clean air instead. To free him, Banjo and Kazooie must swim far downward into a circular area where Clanker is chained from. To free him, Banjo must turn a large key by swimming through its loop three times. By doing so, Clanker moves up to the water surface, and a [[Jiggy]] appears on his back as a reward for Banjo and Kazooie to obtain. | In his first appearance, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Clanker is bound to a massive chain in the large, central room of [[Clanker's Cavern]].

After the duo obtain the Jiggy, Clanker asks for their help again and complains that his teeth are hurting because he ate too much garbage. There are two floating platforms, with each one respectively positioned on Clanker's left and right side. Kazooie must fire an [[egg]] into Clanker's two gold teeth to knock each one over; each tooth is adjacent to one of the platforms. After firing at both teeth, Clanker tells the duo that he feels better and thanks them. | After the duo obtain the Jiggy, Clanker asks for their help again and complains that his teeth are hurting because he ate too much garbage.

Clanker returns as a [[Banjoland]] exhibit in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. Here, [[Lord of Games|L.O.G.]] has separated his body parts into different sections. His head is sticking out of the wall, his teeth were made into a separate display, the portion of his body with spinning blades serves as a tunnel, and the remainder of Clanker is lodged into the ground as a ramp and bridge. His blowhole appears to be absent. | Clanker returns as a [[Banjoland]] exhibit in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''.
