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

===''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''===
George Ice Cube is a friendly [[Chinker]] and the husband of [[Mildred Ice Cube]].
[[File:George Ice Cube B-T falls.jpg|thumb|left|200px|George Ice Cube, moments before dying.]]
George lives contently on the Icy Side of [[Hailfire Peaks]] with his wife [[Mildred Ice Cube|Mildred]] right beside [[Boggy's Igloo]]. However, he was recently caught in a surprise windstorm and whisked off [[Isle o' Hags]] and away to [[Cloud Cuckooland]], where he has been ever since. Luckily, he comes to the conclusion that the place he landed is right above Hailfire Peaks, so he asks [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] to give him a gentle push down so he can be with Mildred once more.


Unfortunately, his judgment was slightly off in the sense he was actually above the ''Fire Side'' of Hailfire Peaks rather than the Icy Side, so he plunges to his untimely death. He ends up landing in a pool of scalding hot water, where he meets his horrific end. Fortunately for Banjo and Kazooie though, this makes the water cooler, allowing them to empty it into [[Piggles]]' and [[Trotty]]'s pool in [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]], who reward them with a [[Jiggy]] for doing so. This chain of events also uncovers a [[Flight Pad]] in Cloud Cuckooland which, prior to his demise, George was unintentionally blocking.

[[File:George Ice Cube B-T falls.jpg|thumb|left|200px|George Ice Cube falling off Cloud Cuckooland.]]
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', his first appearance, George Ice Cube is found in the edge of a cliff in [[Cloud Cuckooland]], above a [[Flight Pad]]. When [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] meet him, he explains that he and his wife, Mildred Ice Cube, were walking around the icy side of [[Hailfire Peaks]] when suddenly he was caught in a blizzard and blown away to his current location. After the explanation, he tells them that he believes to be right above the ice side of the aforementioned world and asks for the duo to push him.


As he melts, George asks the duo to tell his wife that he loves her, but he is unable to finish his sentence.
However, once pushed, George finds out he was not above the ice side, but rather the fire side of Hailfire Peaks. Because of this, he melts immediately after hitting the ground and unintentionally cools down a crater of water, allowing Banjo and Kazooie to empty it into [[Piggles]] and [[Trotty]]'s pool in [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]].

Earlier in the game, his wife Mildred also suffers a similar fate caused by Banjo and Kazooie.
===''Nuts & Bolts''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', George and Mildred Ice Cube are found being displayed in [[Banjoland]], on the [[snowman]].


===''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''===
While in most Acts he is simply used as a decoration, George Ice Cube plays an important role in the "Ice To See You" challenge of Act 1. During the mission, [[Bottles]] informs Banjo and Kazooie that George slided from his display while sleeping and ended up in the desert area, leaving it for the duo to carry him back to his original exhibit.
[[File:George NnB screenshot.jpg|thumb|200x200px|The sculpture of George, lamenting down in the sands of Banjoland.]]
Crude, blocky ice sculptures of George and Mildred appear in [[Banjoland]] as important elements in the mission "Ice To See You". While it is left rather ambiguous if they are actually George and Mildred, revived and reformed by [[L.O.G.]], or if they are simply just replicas like the majority of the museum, they undoubtedly bear little resemblance to the their ''Banjo-Tooie'' counterparts, and are dressed in frozen hats and clothing (George also has what appears to be a mustache).


In the mission they star in, [[Bottles]] regretfully reveals that George has slipped down to the [[Gobi's Valley]] display, and will melt soon as he pines away from loneliness. The mission involves bringing the sculpture of George back to the Sculpture of Mildred, which is back on top of the [[Freezeezy Peak]] area.
Additionally, a smaller model of George can be seen in the Cloud Cuckooland exhibit.


In addition, an even smaller model of George can be seen perched up on a ledge on the Cloud Cuckooland exhibit, a reference to his role in the previous game.
