Appearances
Red Ribbon Army arc
In Age 750[5], the White Corps of the Red Ribbon Army invades Jingle Village to search for a Dragon Ball. They force the men of the village to help them with this, by taking the mayor hostage within their stronghold Muscle Tower.[6]
One day, a plane crashes nearby and Sno finds a young boy lying frozen in the snow.[7] She brings him back to her house to help him recover, and learns his name is Son Goku. This boy is also looking for a Dragon Ball, which scares Sno and her mother, but Goku is not with the Red Ribbon Army. Goku explains to them what the wish-granting Dragon Balls are, and they explain to him who the Red Ribbon Army are. Learning that the mayor is being held hostage, Goku offers to go beat up the bad guys as thanks for helping him. Sno and her mother think it is impossible for one kid to take on a whole army, but Goku makes his way to the top floor of Muscle Tower and rescues the mayor with the help of Artificial Human No. 8.[3]
Goku never found a Dragon Ball in Muscle Tower, but No. 8 reveals he has it on him. It is the Two-Star Ball, and No. 8 kept it hidden from the Red Ribbon Army. The mayor is so impressed that he invites No. 8 to come live with him and his wife. No. 8 asks if Goku will stay too, but he wants to keep looking for his grandfather's keepsake, the Four-Star Ball, and departs.[8]
In an expansion to the story exclusive to the anime, Goku accompanies Sno and No. 8 to the house of Doctor Frappe, a scientist who removes the explosive device within No. 8's body.[4]
Majin Boo arc
Many years later, in Age 774[9], everyone on Earth hears voices asking them to donate ki to the Genki-Dama Goku is employing to defeat Majin Boo. The residents of Jingle Village are skeptical at first, but contribute willingly when they recognize Goku's voice.[10]

In Dragon Ball GT, the villagers and everyone else on Earth get evacuated to Planet Tsufru before the Earth explodes from the aftereffects of the Ultimate Dragon Balls. They return to Earth when it is wished back with the Namekian Dragon Balls.[11]
