'''''Banjo-Tooie''''' is a video game released for the [[Nintendo 64]] in 2000. It was developed by [[Rare]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. It is the sequel to the 1998 video game ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. The {{wp|Xbox Live Arcade}} version of this game was released on April 29, 2009, which featured graphical improvements and a higher screen resolution.
== Story ==
 
Two years have passed since [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] defeated the witch [[Gruntilda Winkybunion|Grunty]] and buried her alive under a boulder. While the two are playing poker with their friends [[Mumbo Jumbo]] and [[Bottles]], Gruntilda's sisters [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]] arrive in a large digging machine, the ''Hag 1''. They destroy the boulder and free Gruntilda, her time spent underground having rotted her flesh away and reduced her to a skeleton. Seeking revenge, Gruntilda destroys Banjo's house before fleeing with her sisters. Banjo, Kazooie and Mumbo all escape in time, but Bottles is caught in the magical blast and killed. The three remaining friends decide to put an end to Gruntilda's plans.
 
  
Following the witches' trail, Banjo and Kazooie arrive at Jinjo Village in the Isle o' Hags, where [[King Jingaling]], king of the [[Jinjo]]s, explains that his subjects were frightened away by the ''Hag 1'' and scattered throughout the island, and gives the two their first Jiggy to help find them. Meanwhile, Gruntilda's sisters introduce her a cannon called the Big-O-Blaster (B.O.B.) that will restore her body by sucking the life force from any given target. They test B.O.B. on King Jingaling, who is turned into a zombie. Gruntilda plans to charge B.O.B. long enough to blast the entire island. The witch's most loyal minion [[Klungo]] is sent out to hinder Banjo and Kazooie in their progress by fighting them. After taking many beatings from Gruntilda as punishment for losing, Klungo eventually gives up and abandons her.

''Grunty returns&mdash;and that's bad news for Banjo and Kazooie! In this all-new adventure, combine everything you learned in the award-winning prequel, Banjo-Kazooie, with dozens of brand new moves and abilities. Explore eight original worlds&mdash;like a monstrous factory and a dilapidated amusement park. Solve incredible puzzles that link those worlds together&mdash;sometimes you'll have to complete tasks in several worlds to solve a single puzzle!''
  
Finally reaching Gruntilda's fortress at Cauldron Keep, Banjo and Kazooie confront Gruntilda and her sisters in another trivia game in which the losers will be flattened under one-ton weights. The two dispatch Mingella and Blobbelda while Gruntilda escapes once more. They then reverse the effects of B.O.B., bringing both King Jingaling and Bottles back to life. The two confront Gruntilda in the ''Hag 1'', which explodes in the end and destroys most of Gruntilda's body, leaving her nothing more than a talking skull. Banjo and Kazooie return to Bottles' house with their friends to find that everyone else has celebrated without them. They decide to play kickball with Gruntilda's head, who swears to have her revenge in ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts''.

Two years after Banjo and Kazooie defeated the witch Gruntilda and buried her under a boulder, Gruntilda's sisters Mingella and Blobbelda arrive in a large digging machine called the Hag 1. They use the machine to destroy the boulder and free Gruntilda, who is now a skeletal corpse. While Banjo and Kazooie are playing poker with their friends Mumbo Jumbo and Bottles, Gruntilda destroys Banjo's house and flees with her sisters. Banjo, Kazooie and Mumbo manage to escape before the house is destroyed, but Bottles is caught in the magical blast and killed. The three surviving friends decide to defeat Gruntilda once again and revive Bottles.
=== Characters ===
 
*[[Banjo]] is a male brown honey bear. He always wears a blue backpack (which contains Kazooie), a shark-tooth necklace, and yellow shorts. He is an expert banjo player, hence the name Banjo. His hometown is [[Spiral Mountain]]. His best friend is [[Kazooie]]. He is calm, respectful, and kind, unlike Kazooie. He is one of the two major protagonists in the game.
 
*[[Kazooie]] is a female Red-Crested Breegull. She excels at playing the kazoo, hence the name Kazooie. She resides in Banjo's [[backpack]] unless on a split-up pad. Kazooie has much more attack methods than Banjo. She is wisecracking, can be annoying, and she loves adventure. If Banjo tells Kazooie to quit joking someone, she will listen, proving her loyalty to Banjo.
 
*[[Gruntilda Winkybunion]] is a mean, evil green-skinned witch. In the prologue of the game, her sisters and [[Klungo]] levitate and destroy the boulder that fell on her at the end of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. Then she spots Mumbo Jumbo and destroys Banjo's house. She obviously likes quizzes, because she hosted another one, called ''The Tower of Tragedy''. She is the last boss of the game.
 
*[[Mumbo Jumbo]] is a male shaman and rival of Humba Wumba. Unlike in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', he doesn't transform Banjo and Kazooie into other creatures, instead he performs spells on a Mumbo Spell Pad that helps them on their quest. In this game, [[Mumbo Token]]s do not appear. Instead [[Glowbo]]s must be collected.
 
*[[Humba Wumba]] is a female Indian-American sorcerer and rival of Mumbo Jumbo. She is a new character in the game. She is the character that transforms Banjo into other creatures. Like Mumbo Jumbo, Glowbos must be collected in order for her magic to work.
 
  
 
==Gameplay==
 
==Gameplay==
Similar to its predecessor ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', the game features worlds containing items to be collected. Among the items are [[Jiggy|Jiggies]] that are used to complete jigsaw puzzles to unlock the levels. Instead of exploring the hub world in search of incomplete puzzle boards as in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', a singular board is used within a temple where [[Jiggywiggy]] resides. Whenever Banjo has obtained a number of Jiggies required, a timed puzzle-completion challenge can be played, after which Jiggywiggy grants access to each world. Each puzzle challenge requires more Jiggies than the last.
+
In concept, the gameplay in ''Banjo-Tooie'' is similar to its predecessor, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. There are nine large levels in ''Banjo-Tooie'', which are physically connected at multiple points throughout the game and can also be accessed through the Isle o'Hags hub world. Each of the levels contain Jiggies (jigsaw pieces) required to advance to the next level. Whenever the player has collected the necessary amount of Jiggies, they must go to Jiggywiggy's temple and play a timed puzzle-completion challenge. After successfully finishing the challenge, Jiggywiggy grants access to the next level. Each level requires more Jiggies to collect than the last. Musical notes in ''Banjo-Tooie'' are used to learn new abilities from Jamjars, the brother of Bottles the Mole. Mumbo Jumbo also returns as a fully playable character that can venture out into each world and use specific magic spells to help Banjo and Kazooie proceed or find a Jiggy. A new character named Humba Wumba, a medicine woman, replaces Mumbo Jumbo's previous role of transforming the duo into different forms.
 
 
Musical notes return in ''Banjo-Tooie'', but are used to learn new moves from [[Drill Sergeant Jamjars|Jamjars]]. He is the brother of [[Bottles the Mole|Bottles]] and takes over Bottles's role from the first game. Mumbo Jumbo also returns as a playable character that can venture out into each world and use specific magic spells to help Banjo and Kazooie proceed. Replacing Mumbo's previous role of transforming the duo into different forms is [[Humba Wumba]], a medicine woman and Mumbo's rival.
 
 
 
Another feature introduced in ''Banjo-Tooie'' is the interconnectedness of its worlds. In ''Banjo-Kazooie'' the titular duo would be magically transported to each level via special doors in Gruntilda's lair. In ''Banjo-Tooie'' the levels are physically connected at multiple points and are effectively extensions of the Isle o' Hags hub world. In addition, the train Chuffy can be used to migrate minor characters between some worlds that contain stations.

Banjo-Tooie is a video game released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000. It was developed by Rare and published by Nintendo. It is the sequel to the 1998 video game Banjo-Kazooie. The Xbox Live Arcade version of this game was released on April 29, 2009, which featured graphical improvements and a higher screen resolution.

Blurb

Grunty returns—and that's bad news for Banjo and Kazooie! In this all-new adventure, combine everything you learned in the award-winning prequel, Banjo-Kazooie, with dozens of brand new moves and abilities. Explore eight original worlds—like a monstrous factory and a dilapidated amusement park. Solve incredible puzzles that link those worlds together—sometimes you'll have to complete tasks in several worlds to solve a single puzzle!

Story

Two years after Banjo and Kazooie defeated the witch Gruntilda and buried her under a boulder, Gruntilda's sisters Mingella and Blobbelda arrive in a large digging machine called the Hag 1. They use the machine to destroy the boulder and free Gruntilda, who is now a skeletal corpse. While Banjo and Kazooie are playing poker with their friends Mumbo Jumbo and Bottles, Gruntilda destroys Banjo's house and flees with her sisters. Banjo, Kazooie and Mumbo manage to escape before the house is destroyed, but Bottles is caught in the magical blast and killed. The three surviving friends decide to defeat Gruntilda once again and revive Bottles.

Gameplay

In concept, the gameplay in Banjo-Tooie is similar to its predecessor, Banjo-Kazooie. There are nine large levels in Banjo-Tooie, which are physically connected at multiple points throughout the game and can also be accessed through the Isle o'Hags hub world. Each of the levels contain Jiggies (jigsaw pieces) required to advance to the next level. Whenever the player has collected the necessary amount of Jiggies, they must go to Jiggywiggy's temple and play a timed puzzle-completion challenge. After successfully finishing the challenge, Jiggywiggy grants access to the next level. Each level requires more Jiggies to collect than the last. Musical notes in Banjo-Tooie are used to learn new abilities from Jamjars, the brother of Bottles the Mole. Mumbo Jumbo also returns as a fully playable character that can venture out into each world and use specific magic spells to help Banjo and Kazooie proceed or find a Jiggy. A new character named Humba Wumba, a medicine woman, replaces Mumbo Jumbo's previous role of transforming the duo into different forms.
