'''Drill Sergeant Jamjars''', often shortened to '''Jamjars''', is [[Bottles]]' brother and serves as the replacement trainer for [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. Assertive and strict, this militaristic drill sergeant mole requires the pair to prove themselves by collecting a certain number of [[Musical Notes|musical notes]] before teaching them any new moves. Like his brother, Jamjars doesn't think too kindly of Banjo's smart-aleck sidekick, Kazooie, but tolerates her enough to teach the pair some of the game's most important moves, possibly because of Kazooie's enthusiasm to beat the living (or in this case, undead) daylight out of [[Grunty]].
'''Jamjars''' is a supporting character in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series, making his debut in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. He is a very assertive drill seargent, contrary to his brother, [[Bottles]], who's often shown to be calm.


Banjo and Kazooie must find his hatches in each world (unlike ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', all of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'s'' worlds have at least one hatch and one move to learn) and have the correct number of notes to obtain the next move. His hatches are flat with a red light if the move hasn't been learned yet and green when it has. Pressing {{button|N64|B}} next to a green-lighted hatch will give a quick recap on how the move is performed. Also, if Banjo opens a hatch without full health, Jamjars will provide him some [[honeycomb]] "rations", instantly filling the health bar.
==History==
===''Banjo-Tooie''===
In ''Banjo-Tooie'', Jamjars can be first encountered in one of his [[silo]]s in the [[Mayahem Temple]] (although many items prior to that world would be explained by him when collected). After hearing about his brother's recent death, he offers to teach [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] new moves in his place. Unlike Bottles, however, Jamjars charges the duo [[Musical Note]]s before teaching them his "advanced techniques." When enough Notes are collected, Jamjars will briefly dance and rhyme to a tune in order to teach the bear and bird the moves. Afterwards, he will jump back in the silo (whose light will now be green). If {{button|N64|B}} is pressed next to a green-lighted silo, Jamjars will quickly recapitulate how to use the move learned in it. Similarly to Bottles, if Banjo's health is low when learning a move, Jamjars will provide "[[honeycomb|rations]]" to instantly refill his health bar. If [[Mumbo Jumbo]] tries to interact with him, Jamjars will say he "only teaches moves to bears and birds" and call him "a freak."


Each move is taught by Jamjars dancing to a military style flute and drums tune, with the instructions being sung in rhyme, similar to an Army march or cadence. When finished, he "dismisses" the duo, jumps up high, and dives back into his opened hatch. Occasionally as a gag, the hatch door will close early, causing him to land on his head. Comically, he groans, opens his hatch just far enough to wiggle inside, and then opens it once again to grab his fallen hat.
Occasionally, when Jamjars teaches a move and opens the silo to leave, the hatch will close earlier, what causes him to hit his head. He will then retries to enter it, but opens it once again to grab his hat.


In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', it is revealed that Jamjars has now become the MC of [[Spiral Mountain]]'s local radio station. He tells the heroes that it has been ten years since they were created (''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' had been released 10 years prior) and tells them how fat and lazy they've become since ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''.
In the multyplayer shooting minigames, Jamjars is a playable character. He has eight Honeycombs and, while being the second slowest character (with the first one being [[Gruntilda]]), is still a small target, making it hard to land a hit on him.
 
===''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Jamjars is shown to have become the DJ of [[Spiral Mountain]] F.M. Through a radio machine, he tells Banjo and Kazooie that it has been 10 years since they were both invented and saying that they're "all fat and washed up" now.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', when Banjo and Kazooie come to one of Bottles' first molehills in [[Spiral Mountain]], Kazooie refers to Bottles by the nickname ''Jamjars''. This could be where Jamjars's name comes from. ''Jamjars'' is also an incorrect answer for Bottles when Grunty asks a trivia question in [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]].

*Jamjars is also a playable character in the multiplayer mode shootout games in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. He has eight [[Honeycomb]]s and is the second slowest character (although significantly faster than Gruntilda), but makes up for this by being a slightly smaller target.
*In ''Banjo-Tooie'', instead of every item talking and explaining what it does when it is picked up for the first time (as in ''Banjo-Kazooie''), Jamjars will be the one to tell you about the item and what it does instead, even before Banjo and Kazooie meet him in person.
*If [[Mumbo Jumbo]] talks to Jamjars, he will tell him that he only teaches moves to bears and birds and also calls him a freak and a weirdo.
*Transformations are unable to talk to him. If the player presses B near a silo, nothing happens.

*Jamjars' military cadence is based on the Duckworth Chant, made popular by the 1987 film ''Full Metal Jacket''.

** It is interesting to note that while he rhymes in military cadence in the Original B-T, in the XBLA version some of his training "songs" don't rhyme. This is due to the fact that the X button on the 360 controller replaces the B button as the basic attack button on the N64 version.
