'''Mr. Ripovski''' is a character in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]''. Unlike other non-player characters in the game, Mr. Ripovski appears in several of the game's levels in various guises, such as a scavenger in [[Breegull Beach]] and as a sideshow host in [[Spiller's Harbor]]. Each time he appears, he sets [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] on a task that will reward the pair with a [[Jiggy]] each time. Banjo can replay the mini-games only after he collects enough gold coins on the slide (the mini-game you play during the credits) and then he must go to the N. Kreditz Arcade machine in [[Spillerston]]. Though normally friendly towards Banjo and Kazooie, the two battle him and two other rats to prevent the three from taking some [[Snowie]]s from their home in a minigame in [[Freezing Furnace]].

In Spiller's Harbor, Mr. Ripovski is a sideshow host. If Banjo has five silver coins, he must go to the N. Kreditz Arcade and give it to Mr. Ripovski to enter the Slide o' Fear, where the two race down a slide for a Jiggy. During the mini-game, Mr. Ripovski floats down while holding an umbrella. In the Freezing Furnace, in the mini-game Snowy Sleds, Mr. Ripovski and two other mice try to catch the Snowies. Mr. Ripovski wears a purple hat instead of a red one, and the other two mice wear a blue and a green hat respectively. If Banjo wins the minigame, he wins a Jiggy. In the same world, Mr. Ripovski hosts another fishing minigame, Fishy Fingers, which takes place inside of an igloo. The objective is for Banjo to catch 12 red fish, this time only identifiable from their shadow, within 40 seconds to receive another Jiggy.
