Difference between revisions of "Jinjo"

'''Jinjos''' are small creatures that appear in every ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' game. They have a long snout and are featured in a variety of colors. 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]].

===''Banjo-Kazooie''===

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.
