Snacker is an enemy in Banjo-Kazooie.
Overview[edit]
Snacker is primarily seen in Treasure Trove Cove. Any time Banjo goes deep enough into the cove's surrounding waters, Snacker appears from nowhere a short distance away and begins to chase the bear. He swims a bit faster than Banjo can, but constantly jumping and using Kazooie's Feathery Flap can make enough speed to stay ahead of him. Upon catching up to Banjo, Snacker bites him for 1 damage and stops chasing for a moment, though he quickly resumes. Leaving the water causes Snacker to keep swimming as close as he can get to Banjo for a few seconds before he disappears. While active, the world's music is replaced with a short tune reminiscent of the Jaws theme.
It is possible to get rid of Snacker by hitting him with five Blue Eggs (he doesn't heal between appearances) or the Wonderwing (by jumping on him). When beaten, he drops three Honeycombs, more than anything other than a Beehive. Unlike other enemies, he will reappear after one minute and continue his pursuit as if nothing happened. However, every time he reappears, he can be taken out by only a single egg and drops another full set of honeycombs. This makes it well worth it to try and keep him down.
Snacker also appears in Rusty Bucket Bay. His territory is limited to a fenced-off area in the bow-port corner of the world, where the Yellow Jinjo is.
In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Snacker is referenced on the billboard of a ship outside the Terrarium of Terror. It reads "Snacker's Loans," which is a play on the term "loan shark".
Other appearances[edit]
In Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise, it is stated in the description of the Shark Tooth Necklace that a Fizzlybear once went to Treasure Trove Cove and fought Snacker to get it.
Quotes[edit]
The first four times Snacker appears, he monologues about the meal he's about to have.
- "Snacker smells tasty dinner, stay just there!"
- "Yippee! Snacker gets dessert too!"
- "Ahh... cheese and crackers - just wait there!"
- "Coffee and mints? I'll be right over!"
Whenever he successfully bites Banjo, he gushes about it.
- "Mmmm...lovely!"
In Rusty Bucket Bay, Snacker doesn't speak.
