Tooty

"What's the party for? Grunty got away, so get back up there and finish the job!"

- Tooty

Tooty is Banjo's adorable younger sister. She is a brown honey bear with blue eyes and blond hair tied up in pigtails. Her favorite instrument is the piccolo. So far, she has only appeared in Banjo-Kazooie, but she also made brief cameos in Banjo-Tooie and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. She was hinted to appear in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, along with Brentilda, Quarrie, and Colliwobble, but this later turned out to be false.

In Banjo-Kazooie, Tooty lived in a house on Spiral Mountain with her lazy brother Banjo. Unfortunately, she became the target of the evil witch Gruntilda, who kidnapped her because she was jealous of her adorable cuteness. Banjo and Kazooie set out on an adventure to rescue Tooty before Grunty could succeed in stealing away her beauty for good. If the player gets a game over, Gruntilda will succeed in stealing her beauty and Tooty will become an ugly monster. She was later rescued once Banjo and Kazooie won Grunty's Furnace Fun mini-game.

Project Dream
In Project Dream, Tooty was originally intended to be named "Piccolo" and was going to be Banjo's girlfriend. In the final battle with Grunty, Grunty fires a spell at Banjo as she falls off the top of the lair but the spell misses. That spell was meant to hit Banjo and turn him into a frog. Most likely, Tooty would have to carry Banjo to Mumbo Jumbo to change him back.

There is also a picture of Tooty inside Banjo's House.

Trivia

 * Originally the spell that Gruntilda casts during the final battle in Banjo-Kazooie was meant to hit Banjo and Kazooie, turning them into a frog. This would unlock a new part of the game where you would play as Tooty and get all the Mumbo Tokens to turn the duo back to normal. However, due to time constraints this part of the game was never implemented.
 * Tooty has two cameos in Banjo-Tooie as a poster of a missing person on a milk carton and as a picture inside Banjo's House.
 * The only cameos that Tooty has in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is of a sign in Showdown Town that reads "Tooty Fruity Fruit Shop", a picture of her in Banjo's House, and on the menu screen. She is also mentioned a few times throughout the game, such as when L.O.G. says he discarded a game world called "Tootyland", and on the score board in the Jiggoseum. She was also in some of the trivia questions at the end of the game.
