'''Sabreman''' is the main protagonist of the ''[[rarewiki:Sabreman (series)|Sabreman]]'' series. He has made a number of guest appearances in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series.
'''Sabreman''' was originally the main character of the ''Sabreman'' series games released by [[wikipedia:Ultimate Play The Game|Ultimate Play The Game]], although since then has made cameos in several of [[Rareware]]'s games. In 2004, Sabreman starred once again in his own game for the [[Game Boy Advance]] titled ''[[wikipedia:Sabre Wulf (GBA game)|Sabre Wulf]]''.


Sabreman's appearance in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' was not much more than as a minor character. [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] discover his frozen body on the icy side of [[Hailfire Peaks]] clutching a familiar-shaped treasure. But just trying to heat up his frozen self will not work because he is dead. The first step in rescuing this lost explorer is to use [[Mumbo Jumbo]] to bring him back to life; however, this still leaves poor Sabreman cold in the snow, requiring you to heat him up with [[Fire Eggs]], [[Hatch]] or [[Dragon Kazooie]]. Then Banjo must use the [[Taxi Pack]] to bring him back to the fire side of Hailfire Peaks. Once all is done and well, Sabreman will give the pair a Jiggy that he had stashed in his tent and hit the hay, where he sleeps perpetually for the remainder of the game.

Sabreman is an old British explorer wearing a pith helmet.


Notably, while Sabreman sleeps, he talks in his sleep and says "I wonder what adventures await me...maybe I'll ride a dolphin." As at the time, Rare was still part of [[wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] and their [[wikipedia:Nintendo GameCube|next game console had]] been going by the codename of "Dolphin," many players speculated that Rare was using this as foreshadowing for a future next-gen Sabreman title. If this title ever existed, it's never been leaked and Sabreman's future game was released on the Game Boy Advance instead. A later next-gen Sabreman title, ''Sabreman Stampede'', was a reworked version of ''Donkey Kong Racing'', a title Rare had been working on for Nintendo until their purchase by [[wikipedia:Microsoft|Microsoft]]. Sadly, while beta footage of the game leaked in 2008 showing the game was now a full-fledged platforming adventure, the game was quietly canceled in 2007. The only "next-gen" appearance of Sabreman was in the 2009 ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' port for the Xbox Live Arcade.
