“I am Targitzan, mighty Mayan god of target shooting! Prepare to meet thy dart-ridden doom!”

—Targitzan, Banjo-Tooie

Targitzan is a recurring character in the Banjo-Kazooie series.

Physical traits[edit]

Targitzan is a powerful Mayan deity that resembles a totem pole. He is made up of a four spinning segments, which all consist of targets and dart-spitting faces, and a head on top. Targitzan's head is a sandstone monument with an intricate headdress-like structure at the top and glowing, green eyes perched right about his bucktoothed mouth. Targitzan cannot move around, so he is confined to the center of the arena. Targitzan's head is accompanied by two hands. His lowest segment has two feet, one on each side.

Biography[edit]

Banjo-Tooie[edit]

Targitzan is the first boss of Banjo-Tooie, where he is subtitled "Despotic Dizzy Totem God." He gives Banjo and Kazooie his own challenge. He at first tells Banjo and Kazooie to learn the Breegull Blaster in order to enter the temple's challenge. In the temple, Banjo and Kazooie must first aim for gaining ten Targitzan Statues to enter his Slightly Sacred Chamber, where a Jiggy lies for them to collect. The duo must collect all twenty Targitzan Statues to gain entry to the Really Sacred Chamber.

When the duo enter the Really Sacred Chamber, they find an unguarded Jiggy conveniently placed on the floor, just like the one in the Slightly Sacred Chamber. They discuss how easy their mission will be, if all of the Jiggies are placed like this, but suddenly the gate closes behind them and Targitzan rises out of the ground, towering very high above them, with a Jiggy on his head.

In the boss battle, Targitzan starts to spin each of his segments in the middle of the arena. Using Breegull Blaster, Kazooie must shoot Blue Eggs or Golden Eggs at each of the four targets on Targitzan's lowest segment. Each time a target is hit, it starts to glow, although if Banjo and Kazooie are not quick enough, the targets stop glowing, requiring the duo to fire at them again. When all four targets glow, the segment is destroyed. Targitzan then summons a Moggi, whom Banjo and Kazooie must defeat. After defeating it, Targitzan starts to spin again.

The next lowest segment has a face on one side, and it spits a dart whenever it faces Banjo and Kazooie. If the duo are hit by a dart, they lose health. Around the arena are shield-like objects that the duo can hide behind, especially to dodge targets, but these are destroyed after several hits and do not regenerate. After the second segment is destroyed, Targitzan summons two Moggies to battle the duo. Subsequent segments each have one more face than the previous one, and once destroyed, Targitzan spawns one more Moggi than before.

Once all four segments are gone, Targitzan makes a final attempt to destroy Banjo and Kazooie with a "sacred self-destruct." After three seconds, Targitzan self-destructs, causing darts to fire in every direction. After Targitzan disappears, a Jiggy falls back to its previous placement for the duo to easily obtain.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts[edit]

A submerged Targitzan statue from Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.

“This Despotic Dizzy Totem God provided some good old-fashioned boss action, shooting game style. He lived in his really sacred chamber in Mayahem Temple, a level with lots of temples.”

—Infopost, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

A golden statue of Targitzan's head appears in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts as one of the exhibits in Banjoland, near the Mumbo's Mountain Stonehenge. At first, the statue is not visible until Banjo and Kazooie press a nearby button, causing the statue to rise out of the ground and spit soccer balls from its mouth. Specifically, this statue resembles the "Sacred Priceless Relic Thingy," a priceless artifact built in the likeness of Targitzan that Chief Bloatazin lost in Banjo-Tooie.

A smaller statue of Targitzan appears at the bottom of the museum's lake. It can be disassembled with either Mumbo's Wrench or by crashing into it. This Targitzan statue retains its Banjo-Tooie appearance.

-==Physical Characteristics==
+==Biography==
-Targitzan is a powerful [[Wikipedia:Maya|Mayan]] deity that resembles a totem pole. He is made up of four constantly spinning segments, excluding his head. They are all covered in targets and dart-spewing faces. The ratio of faces to targets increases the further up his body, making the difficulty of the battle steadily increase each time the bear and bird manage to destroy one of his segments. Targitzan is immobile and confined to the dead center of the arena.
+===''Banjo-Tooie''===
+Targitzan is the first boss of ''Banjo-Tooie'', where he is subtitled "Despotic Dizzy Totem God." He gives [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] his own [[Targitzan's Temple Challenge|challenge]].

+In the boss battle, Targitzan starts to spin each of his segments in the middle of the arena. Using Breegull Blaster, Kazooie must shoot [[Blue Egg]]s or [[Golden Egg]]s at each of the four targets on Targitzan's lowest segment. Each time a target is hit, it starts to glow, although if Banjo and Kazooie are not quick enough, the targets stop glowing, requiring the duo to fire at them again. When all four targets glow, the segment is destroyed. Targitzan then summons a [[Moggi]], whom Banjo and Kazooie must defeat. After defeating it, Targitzan starts to spin again.
-===''Banjo-Tooie''===
-Targitzan first appears in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' as a boss in the game. He gives [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] his own [[Targitzan's Temple Challenge|challenge]]. He at first tells Banjo and Kazooie to learn the [[Breegull Blaster]] in order to enter the temple's challenge. The duo must go to [[Jamjars]] outside of the temple to learn Breegull Blaster. Then, Banjo and Kazooie can enter the temple to do Targitzan's challenge. They must first aim for gaining ten jade statues to enter his "Slightly Sacred Chamber" where a [[Jiggy]] lies and which they must collect. Then twenty to gain entry to his "Really Sacred Chamber", where he lies and where the duo can fight him.
-Once entering, the duo spot a Jiggy lying on the ground, thinking it is just another conveniently placed and easy-to-get Jiggy. The two unsuspectingly walk up to it and comment how easy their quest will be if all of the Jiggies are this easy to get. Just as they are about to about to grab it, Targitzan rises with the Jiggy on top of his head, forcing the two to battle Targitzan to gain the Jiggy and continue their adventure.
+The next lowest segment has a face on one side, and it spits a dart whenever it faces Banjo and Kazooie. If the duo are hit by a dart, they lose health. Around the arena are shield-like objects that the duo can hide behind, especially to dodge targets, but these are destroyed after several hits and do not regenerate. After the second segment is destroyed, Targitzan summons two Moggies to battle the duo. Subsequent segments each have one more face than the previous one, and once destroyed, Targitzan spawns one more Moggi than before.
-In order for Banjo and Kazooie to defeat him, Banjo must use Kazooie's Breegull Blaster ability to strafe around the arena and shoot the targets with [[eggs]] on his segments until it breaks apart. Once one of his segments is broken off, Targitzan summons [[Moggie]]s to combat the duo. First time, he sends out one Moggie, second being two, third being three, and after all his segments are destroyed, four. Banjo and Kazooie, however, have to fight the Moggies before resuming the fight with Targitzan as his targets turn black and cannot become hit. He also has multiple faces on his sides that are capable of shooting out darts from their mouths, making the battle considerably harder. More faces shooting darts become revealed when Banjo and Kazooie destroy segment from segment of his sides. After Banjo and Kazooie destroy all four of his segments, it evokes his "Sacred Self-Destruct", which sends out a flurry of darts in all directions. After Targitzan is blown apart by the self-destruct, Banjo and Kazooie are free to grab the Jiggy he was guarding.
+Once all four segments are gone, Targitzan makes a final attempt to destroy Banjo and Kazooie with a "sacred self-destruct." After three seconds, Targitzan self-destructs, causing darts to fire in every direction. After Targitzan disappears, a Jiggy falls back to its previous placement for the duo to easily obtain.
