Jolly Roger is a rather flamboyant and somewhat campy frog who is a good friend of Banjo and Kazooie, ever since his debut in Banjo-Tooie. Jolly Roger eventually retired from his position as mayor to become a sketchy criminal in Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts simultaneously changing his name to Jolly Dodger to fly under the police’s radar in Showdown Town. Jolly Roger is a foppish frog dressed in bellbottom pants and a blue sailor uniform and is the eponymous mayor of the seaside town Jolly Roger’s Lagoon and also owns the local tavern of it. In Banjo-Tooie Jolly has a small role and is a very minor character since he is involved with only one Jiggy. When the Duo first meet him, he is depressed due to the fact that his partner Merry Maggie whom he needs for the tavern’s approaching happy hour has recently disappeared. When the Duo return with her, Jolly gladly rewards them with a Jiggy and sends them on their way. Jolly also allows Banjo and Kazooie to rent the inn’s only vacant room for two Doubloons since a naughty mole has carved a hole in the corner in it, which is Jamjars. If the Duo refuse to pay, he unhappily states that he was hoping they would deal with the rodent rascal for him. However, learning the move that Jamjars teaches here is required to further progress through the level.
» Jolly Roger in Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts
Jolly Rodger or also known as Jolly Dodger appears along the seaside in various locations, like under Klungo’s Pier, behind a tree near the Lighthouse and at the end of a dock near a hill but can only be found at night and offers the Duo Jiggies for various prices. The name of each of the Jiggies are different but they all put Jiggies in Jolly’s personal Jig-o-Vend, which is located behind King Jingaling’s Bingo Palace. After all the Jiggys have been bought, he can no longer be encountered in Showdown Town. His wardrobe has changed from his original sailor outfit to a more eclectic tattered pink coat and top hat. His skin has also lightened up and is no longer a dull olive green, but rather a bright, pale green. Most peculiar though is the fact that he now has a mouthful of gleaming teeth. Jolly also appears at the end of the game alongside the rest of the cast, congratulating Banjo and Kazooie for beating Gruntilda. He also surprises for the Duo by fixing their house but much to their disliking repaints it pink and white instead of the original blue and yellow. In addition to his role in Showdown Town, Jolly also appears as hosts of various Jiggy-Challenges in two of the Game Worlds created by Lord of Games.
