'''Trophy Thomas''', often shortened '''T.T.''', is a character in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''.


==Personality==
Trophy Thomas is an overly-competitive cheetah who often challenges Banjo and Kazooie to various races. He is also very arrogant and narcissistic, likely due to his many trophies and awards. He often barely admits defeat, regularly asking whoever won against him to not tell anyone else. According to [[Humba Wumba]] in [[L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges]], Trophy Thomas is also very afraid of horses.


'''Trophy Thomas''' is a character from the [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]. He has a cheetah-like personage and is described as an "overly-competitive braggart", whom enjoys contests and challenges. During every challenge, if you complete it in the fastest time possible or by getting a very high score, you get a T.T. Trophy. When you earn four T.T. Trophies, Trophy Thomas gives you a Jiggy. In Showdown Town, he lives in the Lakeshore area, where a Jig-O-Vend gives you Jiggies earned from T.T. Trophies. If you did not earn a T.T. Trophy for a certain challenge, you can attempt the challenge again to try and get it.
==Biography==
In [[Showdown Town]], he is located in front of his house and, by interacting with him, all completed challenges can be repeated (with the main objective being to obtain the missing [[T.T. Trophy|T.T. Trophies]]).


Some say he bears a resemblance to Timber the Tiger, who first appeared alongside Banjo in [[Diddy Kong Racing]].
In [[Nutty Acres]], T.T. plays "The Painfully Competitive Farm Mechanic." In Act 2, he hosts the challenge "Coconut Circuits," where he races [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] a few times. In Act 4, he hosts the challenge "Cheatin' Witch," where he asks for the duo to race [[Piddles]] for him as his "top racing tractor" was being repaired. In Act 5, he he hosts the challenge "Leaky Waterworks," where he asks the two to stop some pipes from leaking. In Act 6, he hosts the challenge "Freewheel Festival," where he asks them to keep driving for the longest time possible without having control of anything except steering.


==Summary==
In the [[Jiggoseum]], T.T. plays "The Multiple Record Holder." In Act 2, he hosts the challenge "Burnin' Rubber," where he races Banjo and Kazooie through the stadium. In Act 3, he hosts the challenge "A Load of Blocks," where he races the duo again through the same track as before, but with different obstacles. In Act 6, he hosts the challenge "Bear in a Ball," where the bear and bird need to drive around an obstacle-filled circuit with reversed controls.


Trophy Thomas first meets the bear and bird in [[Nutty Acres]], where he's shocked to lose in a race to them. From then on he becomes an ally, appearing in multiple challenges thereon to offer the duo jiggies and, regretfully for him, T.T. Trophies.

He appears to have a rivalry with [[Mr. Fit]], in the Jiggoseum it was announced on the screen their teams would be fighting. Mr. Fit badmouths Tropy Thomas at certain points during the game.
