A '''Tee-hee''' is a ghastly green ghost with facial features resembling those of a [[Grublin]]. This enemy is found in just about all areas of [[Mad Monster Mansion]], hovering around and chasing after intruders while snickering all the way. Do not try attacking this baddie unless you have an ample supply of [[Golden Feathers]] with you, since the only thing that can take this baddie down is the [[Wonderwing]] ability.
'''Tee-hees''' are an enemy in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.


A large Tee-hee named [[Napper]] resides in the dining room of [[Gruntilda|Gruntilda's]] Mansion. He guards a [[Jiggy]] for Grunty, but has a tendency to snooze off every once in a while.

In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Tee-hees are green ghosts appearing in most areas of [[Mad Monster Mansion]] and near the world's entrance in [[Gruntilda's Lair]]. They chase [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] whenever they get close. While invulnerable to most attacks, Tee-hees can be defeated with the [[Wonderwing]] move. A purple Tee-hee also appears during [[Tumblar]]'s mini-game, where it flies around the board counter-clockwise rather than actively chasing the duo. This enemy's role is to make it harder for the pair to be able to spell "BANJOKAZOOIE" in the tiles. If attacked by the Wonderwing move, the purple Tee-hee is briefly defeated and drops a [[Honeycomb]] but immediately reappears and goes back to circulating the shed, making it mostly worthless to be attacked.


During the mini-game with [[Tumblar]] inside the shack, a purple Tee-hee patrols the game board in a counter-clockwise circle. Although it can be defeated using the Wonderwing, it respawns immediately and will only yield a [[honeycomb]] the first time it is killed, so it is best to just avoid it.

Tee-hees resemble green [[Spooko]]s, a similar enemy from ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]''. Their facial features also resemble the [[Twinkly Muncher]]s from [[Freezeezy Peak]].

Tee-hees are an enemy in Banjo-Kazooie.

Characteristics[edit]

In Banjo-Kazooie, Tee-hees are green ghosts appearing in most areas of Mad Monster Mansion and near the world's entrance in Gruntilda's Lair. They chase Banjo and Kazooie whenever they get close. While invulnerable to most attacks, Tee-hees can be defeated with the Wonderwing move. A purple Tee-hee also appears during Tumblar's mini-game, where it flies around the board counter-clockwise rather than actively chasing the duo. This enemy's role is to make it harder for the pair to be able to spell "BANJOKAZOOIE" in the tiles. If attacked by the Wonderwing move, the purple Tee-hee is briefly defeated and drops a Honeycomb but immediately reappears and goes back to circulating the shed, making it mostly worthless to be attacked.

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, various portraits of Tee-hees can be found in many different places of Banjoland.
