{{character infobox
'''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.


==Golden Bananas==
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").
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
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.
* [[Frantic Factory]]: 15

* [[Creepy Castle]]: 80
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.

—B. Locker, Donkey Kong 64

B. Locker is a grouchy signpost that appears in Donkey Kong 64. His name is a pun on "blocker", and he prevents the Kongs from entering a portal to a level unless they have enough Golden Bananas.

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").

Appearance[edit]

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.

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.

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 then approaches B. Locker with the correct Kong, B. Locker will let them through with a lower number of required Golden Bananas[1]. The minimum default number, the lower amount and the corresponding Kong of the level are displayed in the following table:
