Biography
Drill Sergeant Jamjars is the brother of Bottles the Mole, also making him uncle to Goggles and Speccy. Jamjars is an army veteran; according to Banjo-Tooie's manual, he joined the army at a very young age, and as such treats Banjo and Kazooie as if they're in boot camp (referring to them almost exclusively as 'punks').
In the Games
Banjo-Tooie
In Banjo-Tooie, Jamjars takes over the role of move tutor, due to Bottles having been killed by Gruntilda. Jamjars can be found in each level at his metallic hatches and makes his first appearance in Mayahem Temple. Before each move can be learned at his hatches, he requires Banjo and Kazooie to have obtained a certain number of notes.
He appears as a playable character in various multiplayer modes.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, he appears as "DJ Jamjars," a radio DJ on Spiral Mountain FM, despite Rare originally stating he would not appear. In the game's introduction, he once again calls Banjo and Kazooie "punks," reminds them that it has been ten years since their first game, and says they've gotten "all fat and washed up." A billboard advertising the planet Uranus as a nightclub in Terrarium of Terror also states that Jamjars DJs there as well.
Trivia
- In Banjo-Tooie, Jamjars has a hidden animation that will happen at random after he teaches a move. When he hops back in his silo, there is a chance it will close before he gets inside, causing him to crash into it and moan painfully, knocking his hat off him. He will climb slowly back in and then reach back out to grab his fallen hat.
- In Banjo-Kazooie, Kazooie sometimes referred to Bottles as Jamjars (among many other nicknames), before the name was used for a separate character.
