'''Jiggies''' (diminutive for '''Jigsaws''') are golden jigsaw pieces and the main collectible in every [[Banjo-Kazooie series|''Banjo-Kazooie'' games]]. These golden jigsaw pieces contain a strong magic capable of breaking open the entrances to the games' worlds and are essential in progressing through each game. Jiggies are obtained through completing various missions, helping characters, playing mini-games, fighting bosses, or sometimes (especially near the beginning of the games) found lying on the ground in certain areas. Depending on the game, the number and manner in which the Jiggies open worlds is different.
'''Jiggies''', also known as '''Jigsaw Pieces''', are a recurring item in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].
 
==Locations and uses==
Jiggies are golden jigsaw pieces that can open entrances to various worlds using their magic, being required to progress through most ''Banjo-Kazooie'' games. In the platforming games, Jiggies are generally obtained by completing mini-games, defeating bosses, reaching the end of platforming segments or helping characters.


==Games==
===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
Every level has a matching portrait hidden somewhere in [[Gruntilda's Lair]]. Jiggies fill in missing pieces of the level's portrait like a [[Jigsaw Puzzle]], and an increasing number is 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, [[Notes]] and [[Moves]]. This is similar to Super Mario 64 (the game that laid base for Banjo-Kazooie and many other 3D platformers) in which one door wasn't sealed, allowing Mario to collect his first Stars to open other worlds and collect more.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', their first appearance, Jigsaw Pieces are used to complete [[Jigsaw Picture]]s and open different worlds. There are 100 Jiggies in the entire game, each world having 10 each (with the only exception being [[Spiral Mountain]]). Unlike in the subsequent games and remakes, used Jiggies will disappear from the duo's counter.
 
===''Banjo-Tooie''===
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Jiggies are used in [[Jiggywiggy's Temple]] to complete [[Jiggywiggy's Challenge|challenges]] and unlock worlds. There are 90 Jiggies in total, 10 less than the previous game.
 
===''Grunty's Revenge''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Jiggies are once again used to open worlds with the help of Master Jiggywiggy in his temple, although no challenge is required to be beaten anymore. There are 60 Jiggies in total, 30 less than in the previous title.
 
===''Banjo-Pilot''===
In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', Jiggies are collected in the [[Jiggy Challenge]]s, with 6 in each course, 24 in each Cup, 96 in each Grand Prix and 192 in total, being the biggest number of Jiggies in a ''Banjo-Kazooie'' game. A Jiggy also appears as the symbol of the Jiggy Cup.
 
===''Nuts & Bolts''===
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. If a [[Showdown Town Police|cop]] sees the duo carrying Jiggies in their vehicle, it will assume they're smuggling and chase them. There is a total of 131 Jiggies that can be collected in the entire game.
 
==Other appearances==
===''Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie''===
In ''[[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie]]'', [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]]'s All-Star Move — [[Jiggy Rain]] — involves Kazooie using [[Mumbo's Wrench]] to the send waves of Jiggies in their opponents.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a Jiggy appears as a [[smashwiki:spirit|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.
 
In the trailer that announced Banjo & Kazooie, a Jiggy was thrown through Donkey Kong's house, foreshadowing the duo's imminent appearance.
 
===Cameo appearances===

In ''[[rarewiki:Grabbed by the Ghoulies|Grabbed by the Ghoulies]]'', Jiggies can be seen in several portraits throughout [[rarewiki:Ghoulhaven Hall|Ghoulhaven Hall]].


===''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge''===
In ''[[rarewiki:Viva Piñata|Viva Piñata]]'', [[rarewiki:Fizzlybear|Fizzlybear]]s use Jiggies in their attacks and the Bird and Bear Statue depicts Banjo holding a Jiggy. Additionally, Piñatas can wear an accessory named "Jiggy Earrings" which appears as part of the ''Banjo-Kazooie''-themed Accessory Pack 6. The accessory returns in ''[[rarewiki:Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise|Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise]]''.
Jiggywiggy again opens the worlds, just like in ''Banjo-Tooie'', but solving a puzzle is no longer required.
 
In ''[[rarewiki:Killer Instinct (2013 video game)|Killer Instinct]]'', a Jiggy tattoo appears as part of the "Rarewear" costume for [[rarewiki:Rash|Rash]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The maximum number of Jiggies found in each game has decreased with each released installment (with the exception of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''). There are a total of 100 in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', 90 in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', only 60 Jiggies in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', and even fewer are found in ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]''. There are, however, a total of 131 Jiggies in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''.
*In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', [[Grabba]] states that he had been guarding his Jiggy for one thousand years, implying they have existed for very long.
*In each game, the manner of collecting the Jiggy changes:
 
**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.
==References==
**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.
<references/>
**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.
{{Items}}
*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 ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viva_Pi%C3%B1ata 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]].

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.
