'''Mr. Vile''' is a character in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.


'''Mr. Vile''' is a character found inside the giant crocodile shaped hut in [[Bubblegloop Swamp]]. Fitting his name, he claims he is ''the meanest and greediest crocodile of them all''. He challenges [[Crocodile Banjo|Banjo's crocodile transformation]] to try and eat more [[Yumblies]] and/or [[Grumblies]] than him. The prize after 3 rounds is a [[Jiggy]], but all three rounds are slightly different.
==Characteristics==
*In the first round, you must eat more Yumblies than Mr. Vile.
Mr. Vile is an aggressive, red crocodile and the the self-proclaimed "greediest croc of all."
*In the second round, you must eat more Yumblies while avoiding eating yellow [[Grumblies]] that will poison you.
*In the third round, you must eat both the Yumblies or the Grumblies as indicated by whichever is at the top of the screen.


However, losing a round will cause Mr. Vile to try and chomp Banjo for 2 damage. For an easy, or less difficult, victory, use the [[Turbo Trainers]]. Once the Jiggy is earned, Mr. Vile offers a second challenge of playing three rounds for 3 [[Extra Life|Extra Lives]] at the cost of 1 life for a loss.
==Biography==
===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
Mr. Vile is found inside the nostrils of a giant, green crocodile in [[Bubblegloop Swamp]]. [[Crocodile Banjo]] can enter it, where Mr. Vile challenges him to a three-round contest where they compete to eat more [[Yumblies]] and/or [[Grumblies]].
 
Each of the three rounds has a different objective: In the first round, Banjo must eat more Yumblies than Mr. Vile. In the second round, Banjo must eat more Yumblies while avoiding the Grumblies. In the third round, Banjo must eat either Yumblies or Grumblies, depending on the icon at the top of the screen that changes every ten seconds. The [[Turbo Trainers]], usable by Crocodile Banjo, are a useful tool in this game, though it is possible to clear the three rounds without using them.
 
Once Banjo has completed all three rounds, he is rewarded a [[Jiggy]]. If he loses, Mr. Vile starts chasing after Banjo to try and bite him. If Mr. Vile bites Banjo, he loses two [[Honeycomb]]s of his health. After Banjo has obtained the Jiggy, Mr. Vile offers him to compete in a second, optional challenge in which Banjo can play three more rounds for three [[Extra Life]]s. If Banjo loses this challenge, he loses a life.
 
Mr. Vile reappears as part of [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]]: one of the six possible physical challenges is the third round of the eating game, but the icon at the top of the screen changes every five seconds this time. Also, when a Sound Challenge with Mr. Vile's voice plays, the three options are "Mr. Vile the Crocodile," "Mr. Piles the Alligator," and "Mrs. Bile the Crocodile."
 
===''Banjo-Tooie''===
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mr. Vile is mentioned during the [[Tower of Tragedy Quiz]]. In a question, [[Gruntilda]] asks "which ''Banjo-Kazooie'' character wasn't seen in ''Banjo-Tooie''," with the right answer being "Mr. Vile" and the wrong answers being "[[Captain Blubber]]" and "[[Tiptup]]."
 
Mr. Vile was originally supposed to appear in the game, however. He was found in [[Terrydactyland]], and had a baby. The idea was eventually scrapped for unknown reasons.<ref>[https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/11/feature_banjo-tooie_turns_20_-_the_rare_team_tells_the_story_of_bombs_bugs_and_bottles?page=2 Feature: Banjo-Tooie Turns 20 - The Rare Team Tells The Story Of Bombs, Bugs And Bottles] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20220308150134/https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/01/feature_banjo-tooie_turns_20_-_the_rare_team_tells_the_story_of_bombs_bugs_and_bottles?page=2 archive.org])</ref>

Mr. Vile will move slowly when going to eat the Yumblies, for whatever reason. When you start to eat the Yumblies, Mr. Vile will still be slow. You can then race to eat the Yumblies before he gets to them. You can eat the Grumblies in the second round at the beggining, it will have the same effect as waiting. Speed shoes will help if you want to get a lot more than Mr. Vile. This may not work in the third round, and the trick may not always work.

Mr. Vile is a character in Banjo-Kazooie.

Characteristics[edit]

Mr. Vile is an aggressive, red crocodile and the the self-proclaimed "greediest croc of all."

Biography[edit]

Banjo-Kazooie[edit]

Mr. Vile is found inside the nostrils of a giant, green crocodile in Bubblegloop Swamp. Crocodile Banjo can enter it, where Mr. Vile challenges him to a three-round contest where they compete to eat more Yumblies and/or Grumblies.

Each of the three rounds has a different objective: In the first round, Banjo must eat more Yumblies than Mr. Vile. In the second round, Banjo must eat more Yumblies while avoiding the Grumblies. In the third round, Banjo must eat either Yumblies or Grumblies, depending on the icon at the top of the screen that changes every ten seconds. The Turbo Trainers, usable by Crocodile Banjo, are a useful tool in this game, though it is possible to clear the three rounds without using them.

Once Banjo has completed all three rounds, he is rewarded a Jiggy. If he loses, Mr. Vile starts chasing after Banjo to try and bite him. If Mr. Vile bites Banjo, he loses two Honeycombs of his health. After Banjo has obtained the Jiggy, Mr. Vile offers him to compete in a second, optional challenge in which Banjo can play three more rounds for three Extra Lifes. If Banjo loses this challenge, he loses a life.

Mr. Vile reappears as part of Grunty's Furnace Fun: one of the six possible physical challenges is the third round of the eating game, but the icon at the top of the screen changes every five seconds this time. Also, when a Sound Challenge with Mr. Vile's voice plays, the three options are "Mr. Vile the Crocodile," "Mr. Piles the Alligator," and "Mrs. Bile the Crocodile."
