Jinjo Village
Welcome to the Isle O’ Hags – a huge island home to many different creatures. Your first stop – Jinjo Village. Upon emerging from the tunnel, you’ll be greeted with happy, upbeat music and a colourful setting. Follow the trail of the witches’ digger and you’ll find that not everything is as happy as it seems – the witches seem to have plowed straight through the grey Jinjo house leaving nothing but rubble behind. Further inspection inside any of the nine remaining houses will show that all of the other Jinjos have run away. King Jingaling, the king of the village and of all things Jinjo, will tell you to come up to his palace on the hill so he can explain exactly what happened to his people and their home.
Before you go, head just infront of the Red Jinjo House and you’ll find a strange metal device on the ground. This is a silo, and it will help you immensely in the game as it is used as a means of transport from one area to another. You’ll have to activate silos first in order to teleport between them, though. How do you activate them? Simply walk up to them, and the silo’s lights will turn from red to green. Activate the first one then head up the hill on the left towards Jingaling’s huge golden palace. Head inside.
< KING JINGALING'S THRONEROOM >
Meet King Jingaling. Ruler of Jinjo Village and all things Jinjo. Jingaling tells you basically what you already know – that the Jinjos are gone and you need to get them back fast. Why? Because they’re having a big kickball tournament against the moles soon and he wants them back in time for it. To help you get started on your quest, Jingaling gives you your first Jiggy of the game, and opens the door to the next area of Isle O’ Hags. Not bad for a king, eh?
< JINJO VILLAGE >
After exitting Jingaling’s fine throneroom, you’ll be treated to another cutscene. The witches have finally made it to their new lair, and are getting ready to restore Grunty’s lifeforce with their custom made B.O.B (Big O’ Blaster). Grunty thinks it was a bit too nice of Jingaling to give the bear and bird their first Jiggy for free, so she decides to steal his lifeforce first. The hags target the King and his throneroom. Whilst the throneroom’s colour is sapped to a lifeless grey, Jingaling is reduced to a slurring zombie – he is now as useless as anything, as he wanders around his throneroom aimlessly ranting on about certain people he has met.
Thankfully, B.O.B requires quite a bit of energy for it to extract any life force, so it’ll be hours before it selects its next target. However, that’s one less soul to help you out now. Hopefully you’ll be able to make some other friends on your travels. Head forward into the hole and down into the house.
< BOTTLES' HOUSE >
After talking to Mrs B. (and almost spilling the bad news!) head over to the left and down the corridor. To the left is Goggles’ room. Goggles is inside playing happily with his Donkey Kong plushie. Talk to him and he’ll give you the Amaze-O-Gaze glasses, with which you’ll be able to zoom in and out with the left and right C buttons when looking through Banjo’s eyes. Awesome!
Head through to the room on the right and past Speccy – go through the back door and out to the next area.
Wooded Hollow
Head up and out of the tunnel and a mysterious fellow called Master Jiggywiggy will tell you about himself. His temple can be found within the hollow, and you’ll be coming back here often in order to open the various worlds in the game.
Head through the grass to activate your second silo. Now that you’ve activated two silos, you can warp between them as a shortcut whenever you like. Keep going forward and through the digger tunnel to find yourself a Jinjo (1). All the Jinjos are random in this game (ie you wont know for sure what colour each one is). Pick it up and it’ll tell you that you must rescue all the members of its family, then it will give you its family heirloom as a gift in return. Anyone able to guess what sort of shape the heirloom may take? After you’ve collected your Jinjo, go back and up to the golden temple. The doorman will count your collected jiggies to check whether you are worthy of entering the temple or not. You only need one jiggy right now, so in you go.
< JIGGYWIGGY'S TEMPLE >
Master Jiggywiggy will be waiting inside for you. Apparently the power of the crystal jiggy cannot be used unless the user is worthy of it. How do you check if you are worthy enough? By completing a jigsaw puzzle, of course. Walk up to the monolith on the right and press B to attempt the puzzle. For this puzzle, you need to place 5 jigsaw pieces into the puzzle within the 100 second time limit. It’s simple – just press A to grab a piece, move it around then drop it in with A. Once you complete the puzzle, Jiggywiggy will open the door to the first level, Mayahem Temple. You don’t have enough Jiggies to attempt the second challenge, so exit for now.
< WOODED HOLLOW >
After exitting Jiggywiggy’s temple, head left and through the newly opened door you saw in the cutscene.
Off to Mayahem Temple we go!
