'''Bottles''' is a nearsighted mole who wears large, thick, Coke-bottle-framed glasses, originating from the {{wp|Banjo-Kazooie|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series}}.

Bottles is Banjo's friend and neighbor in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. He is shown at the beginning talking with [[Tooty]], and is actually present when the young bear is kidnapped. Thus he is the one who actually informs Banjo that [[Gruntilda]] kidnapped his sister. Throughout the game Bottles will teach Banjo and [[Kazooie]] moves to help them defeat the witch. Bottles uses [[Molehill]]s to teach the duo.
In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic, "[[Super Mario in Aloha Hawaii]]", Bottles brings [[Mario]] along on a trip to [[Hawaii]]. While there, the two get into many shenanigans, including entering into a golf tournament. However, they accidentally wreck the course and Bottles is last seen being chased by Mario into the horizon.


Bottles harbors a resentment against Kazooie, one that seems to have started before the events of ''Banjo-Kazooie''. This resentment is carried on to his brother Jamjars.

Bottles is killed in the beginning of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. He is shown playing cards with [[Banjo]], [[Kazooie]], and [[Mumbo Jumbo]]. He is beating Kazooie, but she cheats by saying Gruntilda is at the window. When Gruntilda actually does come back, Bottles think it is a trick, so stays in the house as Gruntilda blows it up. However, much in the form of [[Wrinkly Kong]], Bottles does not completely vanish but becomes a spirit. He will help Banjo and Kazooie remember their moves from the previous game. The [[player]] can view Bottles' decaying body lying on the ground, and when talked to, Bottles' ghost will tell them to hurry up and bring his body back to life. He is finally revived at the end of the game, and returns home in time for supper.
Bottles appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', in the background of the [[Spiral Mountain]] stage as part of the [[Banjo]] & [[Kazooie]] downloadable content pack. In addition, he appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], with his new model in the game being used as artwork.

This character could be controlled by Player Two. Devil Bottles could posess enemies to help or hinder Banjo's progress. This idea was scrapped late in development. However, Devil Bottles appears alongside many other characters as a face in the "[[Tower of Tragedy]]" quiz.
