Tee-hees are an enemy in Banjo-Kazooie.
Characteristics
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.
