- —George Ice Cube, Banjo-Tooie
George Ice Cube is a minor character in the Banjo-Kazooie series. He appeared in Banjo-Tooie, and then made a cameo later on in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts as an ice-sculpture. He is a giant but friendly Chinker who is prone to terrible (and usually near-death) accidents. He is usually seen in conjunction with his beloved wife, Mildred Ice Cube.
Games
Banjo-Tooie
George lives contently on the Icy Side of Hailfire Peaks with his wife 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. Luckily the place he landed was 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 wrong in the sense he was actually above the Fire Side of Hailfire Peaks instead of the Icy Side, so he plunges to his untimely death. He ends up landing in a pool of scolding 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. This chain of events also uncovers a Flight Pad in Cloud Cuckooland which, prior to his demise, George was blocking.
As he melts, George asks the duo to tell his wife that he loves her, but he is unable to finish his sentence.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Crude, block ice sculptures of George and Mildred appear in Banjoland as props in the Freezeezy Peak display. They do not bear much resemblance to the real ice-cube-couple, and are dressed in frozen hats and clothing. A mission involves bringing the sculpture of George (who has fallen below into the Gobi's Valley display) back to the Sculpture of Mildred, which is back on top of the Freezeezy Peak area.
Trivia
- It is likely that both George and his wife Mildred were named after the mid-1970s British television sitcom, George and Mildred.
