===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
[[File:Jinjonator.png|thumb|left|200px|The Mighty Jinjonator after being activated in ''Banjo-Kazooie''.]]
In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', when [[Gruntilda]] is almost defeated by [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]], she summons a magical force field to deflect all remaining attacks. During this time, four statues of [[Jinjo]]s appear from each corner of the battlefield, standing upon a pedestal with a hole. Once firing approximately three eggs into the pedestal's hole, the Jinjo statue will awaken, revealing a colored Jinjo. At this time, the four Jinjos are purple, yellow, green, and orange.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', his first appearance, during the final battle against [[Gruntilda]], when she is close to being defeated, the witch will summon a magic barrier to protect herself from [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]'s attacks. During this, four stone statues of Jinjos with a hole in their pedestals appear in each corner of the [[Winkybunion Tower|tower]]. Once three [[Egg]]s have been fired in the holes, the statues will break, revealing purple, yellow, green and orange Jinjos inside each of them.
 
As the Jinjos break free, they attack Gruntilda by flying into her, in order to help Banjo and Kazooie. As all four Jinjos attack, the Mighty Jinjonator appears (inside a stone statue, like the other Jinjos) and asks for the duo to activate him. Rather than one hole, the base of the Mighty Jinjonator has four them, each needing six Eggs to be fired in them in order to activate him. This can be difficult, as Gruntilda will fire spells to try defeating Banjo and Kaooie while they do that.
 
Once he is finally activated, the Mighty Jinjonator emerges from his statue as the four colored Jinjos fly to merge with him. He then proceeds to start flying in circles before striking the witch with multiple times. As Gruntilda continues to be hit, she claims to be "firmly rooted in [her] stance." Despite that, the Mighty Jinjonator's final blow destroys her force field and sends her falling out of the Tower into the ground, where she is buried in the ground by a boulder. Before falling, she casts one final spell that, fortunately, misses Banjo.


===''Nuts & Bolts''===
Once awakened, the Jinjo will fly into Gruntilda, damaging her. As all four Jinjos are awakened and attack Gruntilda, one final large Jinjo statue will arise from the ground. He calls himself "The Mighty Jinjonator" requesting you activate him. Being substantially larger than the previous Jinjo Statues, the pedestal on which he stands is characterized with four holes which you need to shoot six eggs in each hole to activate, and due to Gruntilda's attacks always going right through the Jinjonator, and she is always attacking, the Jinjonator is very hard to activate.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', the Mighty Jinjonator is briefly seen in the introduction of the game, where the story of ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' is being retold, throwing Gruntilda out of her tower.


Later, during Act 2 of [[Banjoland]], the Jinjonator is mentioned by an orange Jinjo during a Jinjo Hurling challenge, who claims to have "been reading the old stories about the fearless Jinjonator," and wants to be hurled to become "a fearless Jinjo too."
Once activated, a giant Blue Jinjo will emerge from the statue with glowing Red Eyes. Each of the varied colors of Jinjo (purple, orange, green and yellow, respectively) will fly into the Giant Blue Jinjo, absorbing them on impact. The Mighty Jinjonator will proceed to circling around Banjo like a normal Jinjo before ramming into Gruntilda multiple times. As she is struck, explosions of the Jinjo colors will erupt on impact with Gruntilda. The Mighty Jinjonator continues to pound into Gruntilda while she claims her strength will allow her to withstand the Jinjonator's attacks.


Finally, during the [[Lord of Games]]' [[List of questions from The Six of the Best|quiz]] in [[Spiral Mountain]], he asks in one of the questions "who knocked Grunty off her tower at the end of ''Banjo-Kazooie''," with the right answer being "The Jinjonator" and the wrong ones being "Her grandfather," "[[Mumbo Jumbo]]" and "[[Klungo]]."
As the battery continues, The Mighty Jinjonator will stop before the witch and bellow one final word: "Jinjo". Gruntilda now shows fear towards him. As the word is carried out, The Mighty Jinjonator finishes the assault with one final smash into the now helpless Gruntilda.


==Other appearances==
As she falls from the tower, she casts one final spell at Banjo, which misses (in the beta, it hits Banjo and there was a mini game for Tooty to find the extra Mumbo tokens). She lands at the base of [[Spiral Mountain]], her impact creating a hole which is sealed by a boulder fallen from the castle's peak. Gruntilda attempts to move the rock and escape, and summons [[Klungo]] to her aid. He attempts to move the rock, unsuccessfully, until the start of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''.

He appears with four Jinjos, each one being colored the same as the ones from ''Banjo-Kazooie'', and repeatedly strikes opponents to launch them away. He also appears as a neutral, ace spirit whose ability is to make the player giant, being obtained by enhancing the Jinjos spirit.
