Lord of Games
The Lord of Games, often abbreviated to L.O.G., is a character in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. He is sick and tired of the ongoing rivalry of Banjo, Kazooie and Gruntilda and decides to put an end to it in a final showdown. He lives in the game's hub world, Showdown Town. He claims to have had a hand in creating every video game ever made. In order to give both sides a fighting chance, he gives Grunty a mechanical replica of her original body and restores Banjo and Kazooie's physical fitness.

| Game(s) | Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts |
| World(s) | Showdown Town Spiral Mountain |
In the storyline, L.O.G. offers Banjo, Kazooie and Grunty the deeds to Spiral Mountain, but they must both tend to LOG's rules, the rules though are simple, the winner of the deeds goes to Banjo and Kazooie if they can make it back to Spiral Mountain or to Grunty if she can stop them. He appears as an old-fashioned TV with Pong features, sitting atop a purple cape. He has living computer mice as pets.
Synopsis
L.O.G first makes his appearance at Spiral Mountain, where he easily stops a fight between Banjo-Kazooie and Gruntilda occurring by "pausing" it. He then sends the three to Showdown Town, where the game begins to show who's worthy of owning Spiral Mountain, and who's to be subjected to toil at the video game factory. Every world in which they compete is made by L.O.G.
He makes his final appearance at Spiral Mountain, where he awards 6 jiggies for the completion of his "six of the best" task. Afterwards, once Grunty is defeated, he stops the heroes from finishing her off by, again, "pausing" the game. He instantly teleports Grunty to his video game factory and hands Banjo and Kazooie the deeds to Spiral Mountain.
Personality
L.O.G, in a position of power like himself, is occasionally a bit prone to bragging, but generally is a nice guy. If you refuse to take his "six of the best" challenge, he lets it slip that he may have actually let you come so far. He even states that while he doesn't want Grunty to win Spiral Mountain's deed, it also must be impartial.
Special Abilities
As L.O.G has created every video game, he seems all-powerful when in one. Some abilities he's shown include:
- Teleportation.
- A threat to reduce Banjo and Kazooie to basic pixels.
- The ability to transform video game characters as he pleases.
- He can "pause" the game at will.
- He has created several game worlds just for the battle between Banjo, Kazooie and Grunty.
Family
All we know of his family is that he has a wife, a " Lady of Games" who was the first to create games that had kittens, ponies and ninjas being blown up with rocket launchers.
Quotes

- "No no no, it's all too painful to watch, gamers today don't want all this, they just want to shoot things! What a pity, it looks like we're going to have to appeal to this new demographic."
- "We've been in several games!" "Ah, but not nearly as many as that Italian gentleman." -Kazooie and L.O.G.
