LittleBigPlanet
Uncle Jalapeño first appears in The Canyons level, Boom Town. According to Don Lu, he is the master of explosives. He appears to have befriended a man named Devante, who also knows a thing or two about explosives.

In Boom Town, Sackboy helps Uncle Jalapeño break out of jail, as he was imprisoned by Sheriff Zapata because Sheriff Zapata enjoys being evil. In return, Uncle Jalapeño teaches Sackboy the tricks of explosives. Sheriff Zapata then flees towards the mines, so he and Sackboy chase after him in the level The Mines. Eventually they catch up with him in Serpent Shrine, where Sackboy blows Sheriff Zapata up with his own explosives.

Afterwards, Uncle Jalapeño drives Sackboy over to the Metropolis to meet Mags the Mechanic in Lowrider. Mags gives Uncle Jalapeño a cooler new car because she thought that his was ugly.
