'''Jiggies''' are collectible items found in all of the [[Banjo-Kazooie series|Banjo-Kazooie games]]. These golden jigsaw pieces contain a strong magic capable of breaking open the entrances to the game's worlds and are essential in moving through the 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. Depending on the game, the manner in which the Jiggies open worlds differs.

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 are taken to [[Jiggywiggy]], who has [[Banjo]] solve a timed puzzle before he opens the world. An increasing number is needed for each consecutive world.

Jiggies are taken, from the Jig-o-vend units, to the Jiggy Bank in the Central Plaza of [[Showdown Town]], to open the world act doors, and (like the previous games), an increasing number is needed on every door.

* The maximum number of Jiggies found in each game has decreased with each released installment with 100 in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', then 90 in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', and only 60 Jiggies in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'' and even fewer are found in ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]''. 131 Jiggies are total in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]].

* 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 are when Banjo is in the [[Flight|flying]] or underwater, or while using an animal transformation. In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', however, the Jiggy spins around Banjo before flying into the air and disappearing without disrupting gameplay. This new method could be easier to program and 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). 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.
