Upon defeat, Old King Coal lends Banjo and Kazooie usage of his train, as well as a shiny, golden [[Jiggy]]. He speaks on behalf of Chuffy and will even drive the train to them if called from another train station.
Upon defeat, Old King Coal lends Banjo and Kazooie usage of his train, as well as a shiny, golden [[Jiggy]]. He speaks on behalf of Chuffy and will even drive the train to them if called from another train station.
A model of him appears in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]] in [[Banjoland]] on top of the boxes.
Old King Coal's Name comes from the nursery rhyme Old King Cole. Evidence of this can be seen by Kazooie saying "I thought you were supposed to be a merry old soul..." in a reference to the rhyme.
Interestingly, apart from [[Klungo]] and [[Hag 1]], he's the only boss you need to beat to complete the game, since you need Chuffy to enter [[Grunty Industries]] and learn the [[Claw Clamber Boots]], which in turn are needed to get up to [[Cauldron Keep]].
He was also the only working boss in the beta of Bottle's Revenge, but he cannot be controlled using the normal Bottle's Revenge code.
