Jolly Roger's Lagoon

Jolly Roger is the eponymous mayor of the seaside town and also owns the local tavern. He displays several homosexual tendencies, but this may be coincidental. He's depressed due to the fact that his partner, Merry Maggie, has disappeared. When the duo return with her, Jolly rewards them with a Jiggy. Jolly allows Banjo to rent a room for 2 Doubloons, although Kazooie may choose to blow up the door instead of pay.

Showdown Town

Jolly appears 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. He offers to sell you Jiggies for various prices. The name of the items are different but they all put Jiggies in Jolly's personal Jig-o-Vend. It is located behind King Jingaling's Bingo Palace.

LOGBOX 720

Jolly appears as a celebrity coding expert in this world. He wears a black trenchcoat, sunglasses and a pink spiky-haired wig. In Act 2 he wants you to defend the chips from the Gruntbots. Later in Act 6 he asks you to zap alll of the bugs in the console. Jolly is still himself in this world, but speaks of himself as if he were a celebrity and is dismayed when there is something he cannot accomplish.

Terrarium of Terror

Jolly acts a subservient robot in this world. He wears a yellow trenchcoat, a tall white wig and a silver robot mask. he appears in Act 2 to ask you to taxi him and the space crew to various locations. In Act 3 he needs the bear and bird to deliver tea and biscuits to the other characters. Jolly acts a lot like a robot in this level and always tries to serve his masters or, apparently, get punished.

Trivia

• Jolly is playable in Banjo-Pilot.
• If you find Jolly Dodger in Showdown Town, he might open his briefcase, revealing game boxes of the as-of-yet unreleased Killer Instinct 3 (abbreviated as KI3 on the boxes).
• Rumours state that the Jiggies sold by Jolly in Nuts & Bolts were originally to be won by collecting the T.T. Trophies of the scrapped world Weird West.

1. It is strongly suggested that Jolly is gay. His mannerisms and voice are highly camp, as is his dancing. The biggest clue is his "partner", Merry Maggie Malpass, who is overtly male. There are also implications made about the nature of his bar, such as a menu items such as 'Seaman's Surprise', and 'Grab-a-sailor night', mentioned by Maggie Malpass. He often compliments Banjo on being strong and brave, and if a player quits his challenges in the Terrarium of Terror he complains Banjo hasn't "satisfied his needs." Again, this may be entirely coincidental depending on the way the player views what Jolly says.
