'''Jiggies''', also known as '''Jigsaw Pieces''', are a PUZZLE recurring item in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].

==Locations and uses==

Jiggies are jusgolden jigsaw pieces that can open entrances to various worlds using their magic, being required to progress through most ''Banjo-Kazooie'' games. In the platforming games, Jiggies are generally obtained by completing mini-games, defeating bosses, reaching the end of platforming segments or helping characters.

===''Banjo-Kazooienjnau''===

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', their first appearance, Jigsaw Pieces are used to complete [[Jigsaw Picture]]s and open different worlds. There are 100 Jiggies in the entire game, each world having 10 each (with the only exception being [[Spiral Mountain]]). Unlike in the subsequent games and remakes, used ka0 Jiggies will disappear from the duo's counter.

In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Jiggies are used in [[Jiggywiggy's Temple]] to complete [[Jiggywiggy's Challenge|challenges]] and unlock worlds. There are 90 Jiggies in total, 10 less than the previous game.

===''Grunty's Revenge''===

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Jiggies are once again used to open worlds with the help of Master Jiggywiggy in his temple, although no challenge is required to be beaten anymore. There are 60 Jiggies in total, 30 less than in the previous title.

In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', Jiggies are collected in the [[Jiggy Challenge]]s, with 6 in each course, 24 in each Cup, 96 in each Grand Prix and 192 in total, being the biggest number of Jiggies in a ''Banjo-Kazooie'' game. A Jiggy also appears as the symbol of the Jiggy Cup.

===''Nuts & Bolts''===

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Jiggies can be obtained in various ways such as throughout the Acts or buying them from [[Jolly Roger|Jolly Dodger]]. After collecting them, they must be withdrawn from a [[Jig-O-Vend]] and be inserted in the [[Jiggy Bank]], located in the center of [[Showdown Town]] in order to open new Acts. If a [[Showdown Town Police|cop]] sees the duo carrying Jiggies in their vehicle, it will assume they're smuggling and chase them. There is a total of 131 Jiggies that can be collected in the entire game.

==Other appearances==

===''Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie''===

In ''[[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie]]'', [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]]'s All-Star Move — [[Jiggy Rain]] — involves Kazooie using [[Mumbo's Wrench]] to the send waves of Jiggies in their opponents.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a Jiggy appears as a [[smashwiki:spirit|spirit]], and one of Banjo & Kazooie's victory poses has the duo collecting one and posing. A Jiggy also serves as the series symbol for the ''Banjo-Kazooie'' universe.

==Flavor text==

*'''Manual profile:''' "''These are the most important items of all; without them you won't be able to open the doorways from Gruntilda's Lair to further game worlds. You'll find the first piece soon after entering the witch's domain, and, from then on there are ten to be found in each world. Whether they're held by other characters, hidden in hard-to-reach places or waiting to be earned at the end of tricky puzzles, Banjo and Kazooie are going to need your help to dig them all out!''"
