'''King Jingaling''' is the king of [[Jinjo Village]] and all things [[Jinjo]]. Making his first appearance in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', this large, yellow Jinjo king lives in his [[King Jingaling's Throne Room|golden palace]] at the center of Jinjo Village and spends most of his time sitting on his throne with his pet, [[Toots]]. After [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] defeated [[Klungo]] and visited King Jingaling, he tells the duo that when [[Gruntilda]] and her sisters drove through the village, all the Jinjos were scared away from their homes. King Jingaling gives Banjo and Kazooie a [[Jiggy]] to begin their journey. Moments later, Grunty uses the [[B.O.B.|Big-O'-Blaster]] machine to suck up the life force of the King to create a new body for herself, narrowly missing Banjo and Kazooie as they left the palace. Unfortunately, the King was turned into a gray, evil zombie. His pet Toots was reduced to a pile of ash, with only a pair of blinking eyes remaining. Near the end of the game, Banjo and Kazooie use B.O.B. to reverse the effects and revive him. King Jingaling and Klungo later visit [[Bottles]] and [[Mrs. Bottles]], joining in the party celebrating Gruntilda's defeat (and scaring Klungo with a firecracker type toy during the party).
'''King Jingaling''' is a recurring character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].


King Jingaling seems to have ties to several bosses in the game. If you stand around his palace while he is transformed into a zombie or attack him, he will give you hints on how to defeat bosses and random quotes. However, be cautious, as he will attack while he is a zombie. At the end of the game, he is rescued by Banjo and Kazooie when they infiltrate Gruntilda's hideout, [[Cauldron Keep]]. Using the B.O.B (Big-O'-Blaster), they are able to revive Jingaling and Bottles. King Jingaling seems to act young seeing as he says "yo" often. He is one of the few characters Kazooie does not seem to insult - she even thinks his "strange pet thingy" is "cool". The duo often get his name wrong though, which annoys him little by little, as is evident even after you beat the game (Banjo mistakenly calls him "King Dingaling"). Although King Jingaling is ruler, it is strange to point out that the [[The Mighty Jinjonator|Jinjonator]] is more powerful and is considered a sort of ruler by the Jinjo Oracles.
==Physical traits==
King Jingaling is a large, yellow Jinjo with green eyes. He wears a crown with a purple cap, an orange armor and purple slippers. As a zombie, King Jingaling is dull gray in color, and his eyes do not have pupils. In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', he wears a red, checkered robe, and each of its lighter red squares show a number (likely a reference to bingo). King Jingaling also wears blue slippers instead of purple.


King Jingaling's Zombified Throne Room theme song is one of the few items that can be permanently missed in the game. It will not appear in the Jukebox if King Jingaling is not visited in his throne room as a zombie.
==Personality==
King Jingaling is the carefree, sovereign ruler of the Jinjos. He is one of the few characters whom Kazooie does not insult, even complementing his pet, Toots. Banjo and Kazooie often get his name wrong, a fact which, despite annoying him, he only brings up at the end of the game.

Gruntilda also calls him a traitor before blasting him with B.O.B. in the game, hinting at a possible former partnership between the two.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', King Jingaling appears in [[Showdown Town]] running a bingo parlor. As you find and complete Jinjo challenges in the various levels throughout the game, they will give you [[Jinjo Token]]s to bring to Jingaling and play for vehicle parts and [[Musical Notes]]. Jinjo Bingo is not exactly the same as [[wikipedia:Bingo (U.S.)|American Bingo]], but the concept is similar: the player uses Jinjo Tokens to fill up rows and columns to win prizes. Once all Jinjo Tokens are collected, the entire board can be filled in. Each time you exit Jinjo Bingo, King Jingaling talks about going into the window cleaning business.

**A very possible reason is that since Gruntilda, kidnapped the Jinjo, and since Banjo rescued them, King Jingaling felt he can be trusted more.
