'''Jiggies''', also known as '''Jigsaw Pieces''', are golden jigsaw pieces and the main collectible in every ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' game. These golden jigsaw pieces contain a strong magic capable that is capable of breaking open world entrances and are essential to progress to later areas. Jiggies are obtained through completing various missions, helping characters, playing mini-games, fighting bosses, or sometimes (especially near the beginning of the games) found in plain sight. Depending on the game, the number and manner in which the Jiggies open worlds is different.
'''Jiggies''', also known as '''Jigsaw Pieces''', are collectibles in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series. They are golden jigsaw pieces that can open entrances to various worlds using their magic, being required to progress through all ''Banjo-Kazooie'' games. They are generally obtained by completing mini-games, defeating bosses, reaching the end of plataforming segments or helping characters.

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', there are 100 Jiggies, which are used to fill in missing pieces of the [[Jigsaw Puzzle]]s; and an increasing number of Jiggies are required for each consecutive world. Jiggies here are actually "spent" to open worlds, unlike subsequent games in which only the total amount of Jiggies collected is considered. The very first Jiggy is found right next to the entrance of Gruntilda's Lair, allowing the duo to complete the [[Mumbo's Mountain]] picture and systematically raid the whole lair of its Jiggies, [[Musical Note]]s, and moves.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Jigsaw Pieces are used to complete [[Jigsaw Puzzle]]s and open different worlds. There are 100 Jiggies in the entire game, each world having 10 each (not counting [[Spiral Mountain]]). Unlike subsequent games, Jiggies used in Jigsaw Puzzles will disappear from the duo's counter.

Banjo and Kazooie no longer perform a victory dance from collecting a Jiggy, so they can still move around once they have obtained a Jiggy.

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Jiggies can be obtained in various ways such as throughout the Acts or buying them from [[Jolly Roger|Jolly Dodger]]. After collecting them, they must be withdrawn from a [[Jig-O-Vend]] and be inserted in the [[Jiggy Bank]], located in the center of [[Showdown Town]] in order to open new Acts.

**In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', when [[Banjo]] obtains a Jiggy, he will jump around dancing while holding it above his head, stopping just long enough for [[Kazooie]] to eat it. The only exceptions to this are when Banjo and Kazooie are [[Flight|flying]] or swimming underwater, or while using an animal transformation. After completing all eleven empty pictures in Grunty's lair, Banjo and Kazooie will be left with two spare Jiggys, the player must acquire the last two to view the game's true ending cinematic.
**In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', the Jiggy spins around Banjo before flying into the air and disappearing without disrupting gameplay. This new method could have been easier to program and could be used for any character or situation in which the Jiggy is obtained without looking strange if used on unusual terrain (ex. while sliding down a slope). This also was done because standing with it was time-consuming.
**In [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]], the Jiggy is just put in your total with no animation at all. It does play the jingle, however.
**In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', when you gain a Jiggy and bring it to the [[Jiggy Bank]], it floats into the bank, playing the jingle from the first two games.
*In [[Gobi's Valley]], we find out that Jiggies have been around for at least 1,000 years, since [[Grabba]] says he had his Jiggy for over 1,000 years. What they were used for in the ancient past is unknown.
*Jiggies are used as an attack move for a piñata called Fizzly Bear on ''[[rarewiki:Viva Piñata|Viva Piñata]]'', another game developed by [[Rare]].
*No matter where it comes from, Jiggies always appear to be clean and unscratched. (i.e. Boggy barfing it up, Canary Mary's wing, pooped out by Eyrie.) An exception is when Banjo mentions that the Jiggy obtained from the Oogle Boogle Tribe has teeth marks on it, due to being bitten by a member who thought that there was chocolate inside of it.
*Jiggies can also be broken into pieces, as evidenced in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', where in [[Glitter Gulch Mine]], Banjo and Kazooie destroy the Jiggy Boulder in the Crushing Shed, also shattering the Jiggy, forcing Banjo-Kazooie to find the pieces and put it back together. Also in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', some of Grunty's minions shattered a Jiggy into pieces, and the pieces are subsequently gathered and put back together with the help of [[Miss Bucket]].

In the trailer that announced Banjo & Kazooie, a Jiggy was thrown through Donkey Kong's house, foreshadowing the duo's imminent appearance. Within the game itself, a Jiggy appears as a Spirit, and one of Banjo & Kazooie's victory poses has the duo collecting one and posing. A Jiggy also serves as the series symbol for the Banjo-Kazooie universe.
