Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland/Bodyguards

This section describes the bodyguards in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland

There are 30 bodyguards in total: 27 regular bodyguards and 3 special ones. You are not required to hire any of them (except Teddy Todo as part of the main story), but it is nearly impossible to complete the game without their aid. Tingle is too weak to fight the stronger enemies on his own. Besides, there are also a couple of Rupee Goods hidden in each dungeon (except Hero's Shrine) and only with the aid of the bodyguards can you get them.

Most bodyguards have to be hired in one of the Bodyguard Salons that can be found on every island except Hometown Prairie. Each continent has its own set of nine bodyguards, who share the same sprites, except with different colours as their counterparts on the other continents. While this is a bit of a downer, it also has a positive side. Each of the nine bodyguards has a certain behaviour-skill combination, and you can easily recognize your prefered bodyguard-type on each continent, because of them sharing the same sprite.
