The '''Twinklies''' are a recurring species in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series.


The '''Twinklies''' are Christmas tree lights that appear in both ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. The Twinklies first appeared in [[Freezeezy Peak]], where they are found inside a large blue present located near the giant Christmas tree which can be opened by using the [[Beak Buster]]. The Twinklies enlist [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie|Kazooie's]] help in [[Protect the Twinklies|protecting them]] from being eaten by [[Twinkly Muncher]]s, as they make their way towards the tree to light it up. Once it is lit, one urges Banjo to "be a star," meaning to [[Flight|fly]] through the ring-like star on top of the tree to reveal a [[Jiggy]].
