'''Tickers''' are an enemy in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.


'''Ticker''' is an enemy, found mainly at [[Mumbo's Mountain]] but one can also be found at [[Gruntilda's Lair]] in [[Banjo-Kazooie]] 1. He is an overgrown termite. Ticker's Mound can be found near [[Mumbo Jumbo]]'s skull-house on the top of the hill. Inside the mound, there are many other Tickers. [[Banjo]] can only enter the mound once he has been transformed into a termite. When going up the spiral ramp in the mound, the Tickers all say how much they like Banjo's backpack and that they are going to steal it off him.

Tickers are large termite enemies appearingly mainly in [[Mumbo's Mountain]], where they inhabit a giant termite mound named [[Ticker's Tower]], near the village where [[Mumbo's Skull]] is located.

The slopes are too steep for Banjo and Kazooie to climb, even if they use [[Talon Trot]]. Once Banjo has transformed into a [[Termite Banjo|termite]], he can move up the slopes. Along the way, the Tickers are jealous of Banjo's shorts and backpack and demand he give it to them. As such, Termite Banjo also takes damage from Tickers just like his usual form does.

CharacteristicsEdit

Tickers are large termite enemies appearingly mainly in Mumbo's Mountain, where they inhabit a giant termite mound named Ticker's Tower, near the village where Mumbo's Skull is located. Despite being classified as termites, Tickers more closely resemble ants. When Banjo enters Ticker's Tower, a Ticker tells him that he is not welcome. The slopes are too steep for Banjo and Kazooie to climb, even if they use Talon Trot. Once Banjo has transformed into a termite, he can move up the slopes. Along the way, the Tickers are jealous of Banjo's shorts and backpack and demand he give it to them. As such, Termite Banjo also takes damage from Tickers just like his usual form does. If Banjo and Kazooie have visited Mumbo's Mountain at least once, a Ticker is found in the world's lobby in Gruntilda's Lair. There are also three Tickers inside Freezeezy Peak's large Christmas tree.

Other appearancesEdit

A model for Tickers was created for the canceled remake of Banjo-Kazooie titled Banjo X. Steve Mayles shared a brief animation of its model on Twitter in 2016, erroneously referring to the enemy as Termites.[1]
