Banjo made his debut appearance in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' alongside [[Tiptup]] as a heavy racer with a high top speed and low acceleration before starring in his own game several months later, and has since been the main character of every ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie series]]'' game yet. He has returned in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts|the series' latest installment for the Xbox 360]]. A while back, Banjo adopted a breegull named [[Kazooie]], who is often seen seeking shelter in his backpack. The pair has gone on numerous adventures together, the purpose of most of them being to stop the sinister plans of the evil witch [[Gruntilda]]. Banjo also has a younger sister named [[Tooty]], who lives with him and Kazooie in a house at the bottom of [[Spiral Mountain]]. He also plays his namesake instrument.
