Biography

Jingaling is the King of Jinjo Village. He is a large yellow Jinjo who inhabits a large golden palace in the centre of the village. Either he is very hip or is merely a poser; either way, he uses expressions like 'yo!' and 'wassup!' and wears a medallion. He is fairly laid-back, even when he reports the news that all the Jinjos have been abducted.

In the Games

Banjo-Tooie

When Banjo and Kazooie came to consult him, he gave them a Jiggy to open Mayahem Temple and opened the back door of Bottles' House, granting them access to the Wooded Hollow. Shortly after this, the witches, having caught sight of his actions, used the B.O.B. to drain him of his life force, reducing him to a zombie.

The zombified king was grey and lacked pupils, and spent his time wandering around his Throne Room (which had also been zombified). He exhibited hostility towards our heroes, attacking them if they came too close. His only sensitive spot was his medallion. However, keeping a safe distance from him caused him to eventually spout secrets about the game's bosses ("Don't mess with Targitzan - he's got a terrible temper!"). This, coupled with the fact that Gruntilda refers to him as a 'traitor', leads many to believe that Jingaling has some dark secrets in his past.

After Kazooie activated the B.O.B. and restored his life force, he went to Bottles' party with Klungo.

Interestingly, Toots is seen with Jingaling on his couch. It is unclear whether it is the very same pet owned by Rubee.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, King Jingaling returns, now running a bingo hall in Showdown Town. He sports a new design in this game, wearing a flashier crown and a bingo shirt. His Jinjo Bingo game allows players to win Musical Notes and vehicle parts whenever they complete a row or column.

The tokens used in the bingo games can be won by completing Jinjo Challenges in the various worlds.

Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge

While Jingaling does not actually appear in Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, there is a large, broken stone structure resembling his likeness near Gruntilda's Lair in the Spiral Mountain of the past.
