Biography

Pikelet is in front of the Police Station, near the Docks of Showdown Town. If Banjo and Kazooie are seen by any police officers carrying Jiggies (smuggling), attacking them (assaulting), freeing Jinjos from their cells and taking them to their homes (aiding a criminal), using a laser (discharging of firearm) or blowing their vehicle's horn (disturbing the peace), Pikelet is going to warn all cops to chase the duo. When this happens, he can be bribed with Musical Notes and doing so will stop the police from chasing the duo.

In LOGBOX 720, Pikelet acts as "Their Caring, Sharing Manager," hosting challenges in Acts 1 and 6. In the first one, he asks for Banjo and Kazooie to save the workers of the console from the firewall. In the second one, he asks for the duo to fly around the security cameras so he can take pictures of them.

In the Jiggoseum, Pikelet acts as "The Hands-On Coach With Something to Prove," hosting challenges in Acts 1 and 6. In the first one, he asks the bear and bird to knock down some statues and in the second one to knock him out of a ring three times.

In the Terrarium of Terror, Pikelet acts as "The Mercenary Mercenary," hosting challenges in Acts 2, 3 and 4. In the first one, he asks the duo to destroy various germ-shaped balloons. In the second one, he asks them to defeat various flying Gruntbots. In the last one, he challenges the two to a race through the terrarium.

In L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges, Pikelet acts as "The Army Of One (Snack Per Minute)" and hosts a challenge where Banjo needs to push him off multiple sumo arenas three times.
