Jolly Roger, a foppish frog dressed in bellbottom pants and a blue sailor uniform, is the eponymous mayor of the seaside town [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] and also owns the local tavern. In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' Jolly has a very small role and is considered a very minor character. He is involved with one [[Jiggy]].
Jolly Roger debuted in ''Banjo-Tooie'', acting as the mayor of Jolly Roger's Lagoon and owner of a tavern in the seaside town. When first encountered, he is sad due to the fact that his partner, [[Merry Maggie]], has recently gone missing. When she is rescued from the [[Big Fish]], Jolly rewards [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] with a Jiggy.  


When the duo first meet him, he is atypically depressed due to the fact that his partner, [[Merry Maggie]], whom he needs for the tavern's approaching happy hour, has recently disappeared. When the duo return with her, Jolly gladly rewards them with a Jiggy and sends them on their way.
He then allows the duo to rent the only vacant room of the inn for a discounted price of two [[Doubloons]] because a "[[Jamjars|naughty mole]]" had dug a hole in the corner of it (although it is possible to simply blow the door off with Kazooie instead of paying). If his offer is refused, Jolly will unhappily say that he hoped they'd deal with the "rodent rascal". However, the game can't be progressed without learning the [[Sub-Aqua Egg Aiming|ability teached here]] by Jamjars, so entering the room, regardless of the method, is necessary.


Jolly allows [[Banjo]] to rent the inn's only vacant room at a discounted two [[Doubloons]], as a "[[Jamjars|naughty mole]]" has carved a hole in the corner in it (although [[Kazooie]] can simply blow up the door off instead of pay). If the duo refuse to pay, he unhappily states that he was hoping they would deal with the "rodent rascal" for him. However, learning the move that Jamjars teaches here ([[Sub-Aqua Egg Aiming]]) is required to further progress to through the level, so getting inside the room (regardless of which tactic is used) is a very important task.
While talking with Jolly Roger afterwards will only result in him thanking the duo for their help, interacting with [[Jolly's Jukebox]] will result in him telling Banjo and Kazooie it's broken. To fix the machine, the two must collect all 25 [[Cheato Page]]s and return them to [[Cheato]], who will then reward the duo with the cheat code JUKEBOX and input it in the [[Code Room]]. Jolly will dance in the counter when the Jukebox is playing.

Jolly "Dodger" appears in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'' along the seaside in various locations, like under Klungo's pier, behind a tree near the lighthouse and at the end of a dock near a hill, but can only be found at night. He offers to sell the duo [[Jiggies]] for various prices. The name of each of the Jiggies are different but they all put Jiggies in Jolly's personal [[Jig-o-Vend]], which is located behind [[King Jingaling's Bingo Palace]]. After all of Jolly's "Black-Market Jiggys" have been bought, he can no longer be encountered in Showdown Town. His wardrobe has changed from his original sailor outfit to a more eclectic tattered pink coat and top hat. His skin has also lightened up and is no longer a dull olive green, but rather a bright, pale green. Most peculiar though is the fact that he now has a mouthful of gleaming teeth.

Each Jiggy he sells has a different name, description and price, although these are the only differences.
