Physical Appearance
Jimmy has a coloration of pale gray skin all around his body and has a pair of buck teeth.
Personality
Being the son of Julie, Jimmy eventually shows a rude personality to Joey by pulling his ear and taunting him. During Joey's first jump, he and the other kangaroos taunted Joey for his inability to jump; however, to Joey's confidence, he was able to jump and beat Jimmy, resulting in his failure. In later appearances, Jimmy is often seen with Joey and a koala named "Phoebe", which might give a hint that at some point unknown that Jimmy stopped being enemies with Joey and has become friends with him after winning the jumping competition to see which kangaroo jumps the highest.

Trivia
- Jimmy is one of the few characters who was originally antagonistic to the good characters but later never shows an antagonistic personality to them (in this case, Joey). This is because he and Phoebe are the sidekicks of Joey.
- He is based on a gray kangaroo, just like his mother.
- He, along with Julie and Horace, are the only characters in the series to have buck teeth.
