| | '''B. Locker''' is a character in the game ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. As his name suggests, he blocks the [[Kong]]s from reaching new levels. He will let them pass if they have a certain amount of [[Golden Banana]]s. B. Locker looks like a big sign post with eyes and three number panels for a mouth. While B. Locker is not really an enemy, he does work for [[King K. Rool]] (although unhappily), mainly because if B. Locker were to disobey K. Rool and allow for the Kongs to pass without the bananas, it would be the end of his life ("The big sawmill in the sky"). |

| |
| '''B. Locker''' is a grouchy signpost that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. His name is a pun on "blocker", and he prevents the [[Kong]]s from entering a portal to a level unless they have enough [[Golden Banana]]s. | |
|
| |
|
| B. Locker is first encountered by [[Donkey Kong]] in the [[Jungle Japes]] lobby, where B. Locker reveals that he is unhappily working for [[King K. Rool]], or else he would be punished (by "the big sawmill in the sky"). | | ==Golden Bananas== |
| | In the game, B. Locker blocks the entrances to each of the levels, only letting the Kongs in if they have collected a certain total number of Golden Bananas (shown by a counter on his teeth). Once they have enough, he leaves that level's lobby, allowing the Kongs entry to the level. The Golden Banana requirements to pass him in each level are: |
| | * [[Jungle Japes]]: 1 |
| | * [[Angry Aztec]]: 5 |
| | * [[Frantic Factory]]: 15 |
| | * [[Gloomy Galleon]]: 30 |
| | * [[Fungi Forest]]: 50 |
| | * [[Crystal Caves]]: 65 |
| | * [[Creepy Castle]]: 80 |
| | * [[Hideout Helm]]: 100 |
|
| |
|
| ==Appearance==
| | == Trivia == |
| B. Locker is a wooden signpost with a pair of eyes, a nose, dark brown eyelids, a mouth, and two light brown arms with two red hands. B. Locker is attached to the ground by a small, metal pole. He usually crosses his arms. A picture of bananas are attached to his forehead.
| | *There is [[List of glitches in Donkey Kong 64#Get into level Without Required Amount of Golden Bananas|a glitch]] which allows [[Lanky Kong]] to pass through B. Locker without having the proper amount of Golden Bananas. |
| | | {{NIWA|DKWiki=1}} |
| B. Locker's mouth has three bottom teeth, and each tooth displays a number. The numbers displayed on his teeth represent the minimum number of Golden Bananas that the Kongs need to access a level.
| |
| | |
| ==Requirements==
| |
| A different number of Golden Bananas are required per each level. The later levels have a higher requirement than the earlier ones. If the Kongs have enough Golden Bananas, they can approach B. Locker, who then spins around and permanently leaves the lobby.
| |
| | |
| If the player presses Up, Down, Left, and then Right on the D-pad in front of B. Locker, the homing weapon sound is played indicating that the [[Cheat code|cheat code]] has been entered. If the player then approaches B. Locker with the correct Kong, B. Locker will let them through with a lower number of required Golden Bananas<ref>[https://twitter.com/2dosSRL/status/1343643181833998336 2dos on Twitter]</ref>. The minimum default number, the lower amount and the corresponding Kong of the level are displayed in the following table:

| ==Trivia== | |
| *There is [[List of Donkey Kong 64 glitches#Enter levels without the required amount of Golden Bananas|a glitch]] which allows [[Lanky Kong]] to pass through B. Locker without having the proper amount of Golden Bananas. [[Donkey Kong]] can also do this with his standard {{button|N64|B}} attack, and [[Chunky Kong]] can do it using the [[Primate Punch]]. | |
| *The banana bunch emblem on B. Locker's head was originally the HUD icon for Golden Bananas in the game's kiosk demo. It can briefly be seen in the demo if the player wins the Diddy Kong's Mine Cart minigame.
