In most of their appearances, there are a few Jinjos found in each world, located in certain areas. In these games, whenever [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] are near a Jinjo, it whistles and calls for their help. The duo can rescue a Jinjo by touching it. If Banjo and Kazooie rescue every Jinjo in a world, they receive a [[Jiggy]]. | ||

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', which is their debut appearance, Jinjos are featured in five colors — blue, green, orange, purple, and yellow — and there is one of each in every world.

In [[Mumbo's Mountain]], when [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] collect their first Jinjo, it tells the duo that [[Gruntilda]] placed them in each world. When the duo rescue all five Jinjos in a world, they are rewarded a Jiggy, or an [[Extra Life]] if those Jinjos were rescued beforehand. Whenever Banjo and Kazooie leave a world, the Jinjos return to their original locations, but if they have not collected all five Jinjos, they are required to start over once they re-enter the world. In the [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade]] version, like other collectible items, Jinjos remain collected, even if Banjo and Kazooie leave and re-enter a world. | ||
In the final battle against Gruntilda, Jinjos appear in the fourth phase to help the duo. They are the only way to destroy a magical barrier that Grunty has created around herself, but doing so requires the duo to shoot [[Blue Egg|egg]]s into each of the four Jinjo statues, causing a Jinjo to emerge from each one. Each Jinjo then attacks Grunty's shield, weakening it and eventually destroying [[Gruntilda's Broomstick|her broomstick]]. During the fifth phase, a large Jinjo statue named [[The Mighty Jinjonator]] appear in the middle of the arena. After emerging from its statue, the Mighty Jinjonator repeatedly attacks Gruntilda and defeats her. | In the final battle against Gruntilda, Jinjos appear in the fourth phase to help the duo.

In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Jinjos were given a larger role. They live in [[Jinjo Village]], and each color variant has their own family. They are ruled by a large, sovereign Jinjo named King Jingaling. The game also introduces an evil counterpart, [[Minjo]]s, who disguise themselves as Jinjos and try and attack Banjo when he gets nearby. | In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Jinjos were given a larger role.

At the start of the game, when the [[Hag 1]] drills its way path back to Cauldron Keep, it drilled through [[Jinjo Village]], scaring away all of the Jinjos. When Banjo and Kazooie meet King Jingaling, he begs them to return the Jinjos in time for the upcoming kickball tournament. The color variants are not specific to one area, and their location is decided randomly every time the player starts a new game file. When Banjo and Kazooie rescue every Jinjo of a certain color, that family gives them their heirloom, a Jiggy, to the duo.

Once Kazooie learns the [[Hatch]] ability, she can hatch the yellow egg inside of [[Heggy's Egg Shed]]. By doing so, Heggy tells her that a Jinjo is now an available character for the [[Breegull Blaster]] shootout matches in Multiplayer. In this mode, Jinjo is the smallest and fastest character, but also the most vulnerable, having only four units of health. | Once Kazooie learns the [[Hatch]] ability, she can hatch the yellow egg inside of [[Heggy's Egg Shed]].

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', when [[Mecha-Grunty]] goes into the past, she scares off all the Jinjos, leaving the [[Jinjo Oracle]] by herself. She relies on the Jinjos for gossip because she cannot move around due to being a statue. Like ''Banjo-Kazooie'', every world has five Jinjos, although each world features Jinjos of a different color. When Banjo and Kazooie collect five Jinjos in a world, the Jinjo Oracle rewards them with a Jiggy. | |||

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Jinjos have a different role than in previous ''Banjo-Kazooie'' titles. Instead of collecting Jinjos, Banjo must find them and complete a challenge on their behalf, which varies from going over a set speed to making them roll a certain distance.
