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 golden palace at the center of the village and spends most of his time sitting on his throne with his pet, Toots. After the player has defeated Klungo and visited Jingaling, he tells the duo that when the witches drove through the village, it scared all the Jinjos away, so he gives Banjo a Jiggy to begin their journey, but moments later, Grunty tries to suck up the life forces of Banjo, Kazooie and the king to create a new body for herself. Fortunately, Banjo and Kazooie left before she fired the B.O.B., but the King is turned into a grey and evil zombie. His pet Toots is reduced to a pile of ash, with only a pair of blinking eyes remaining. After Banjo and Kazooie revive him, he and Klungo visit Bottles and Mrs. Bottles, and let them know whats going on with the Bear and Bird, and he starts the party (scaring Klungo with a firecracker type toy).

King Jingaling seems to have ties to bosses in the game. If you stand around his palace while he's a zombie or attack him he'll give you hints on how to defeat bosses and random quotes. At the end of the game, he is rescued by Banjo and Kazooie when they infiltrate Gruntilda's hideout, Cauldron Keep. They use the B.O.B (Big-O'-Blaster) 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 which annoyed him little by little and evident after you beat the game (Banjo mistakenly calls him "King Dingaling"). Although Jingaling is ruler, it is strange to point out that the Jinjonator is more powerful and is considered a sort of ruler by the Oracles.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, 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 Tokens to bring to Jingaling and play for vehicle parts and notes. Jinjo Bingo is not exactly the same as American Bingo, but the concept is similar: use Jinjo Tokens to fill up rows and columns to win prizes. Once all Jinjo Tokens are collected, the entire board can be filled in. Every time you exit Jinjo Bingo, King Jingaling talks about going into the window cleaning business.
