In Banjo-Tooie, players will encounter the Skivvies, a group of six hardworking white rabbits who are employed at the game’s sixth world, called Grunty Industries. Each Skivvy is responsible for a specific section of Gruntilda’s factory, and they all wear humble workers uniforms consisting of a blue colored hat and blue overalls. However, due to the rigorous nature of their work, their outfits have become filthy and covered in stains over time. To receive a Jiggy from the Skivvies, players must find a Glowbo in Grunty Industries to transform Banjo and Kazooie into a Washing Machine and wash each of their dirty uniforms. The Skivvies are protective of their garments and prefer a specific washing setting, known as the Heavy Soil Wash. The Skivvies are located throughout the world Grunty Industries, with two on Floor one, one in the Worker’s Quarters, and the others on a platform adjacent to the Trash Compactor. Another Skivvy can be found on Floor two in a large room near the Electromagnet Chamber, while the other one is hidden on Floor three in the Boiler Plant’s coal storage. The fourth Skivvy can be found on Floor five in the warehouse, and the last Skivvy is located outside behind the building beside some trees. Interestingly, Skivvies are some of the few supportive characters in the game who don’t like being naked. When the protagonists wash their dirty overalls, they become embarrassed and cover themselves with their hands. This reveals that they are not only protective of their uniforms but also their modesty. To aid players in finding the Skivvies, a signpost detailing each Skivvy’s specific area can be seen in an otherwise empty room in the Worker’s Quarters. Each time a uniform got successfully cleaned, the current Skivvy will start to dance and jump around of happiness. As soon as all uniforms are washed, the last one will gratefully reward Banjo and Kazooie with a valuable Jiggy for their efforts.
