Trivia

 * Although Banjo-Tooie features a Fly Pad on Spiral Mountain, it is not possible to reach the top of the tower as an invisible ceiling blocks Kazooie from going too high. While the battle with Gruntilda takes place at the top of her Spiral Mountain tower canonically, the area where she is fought is not physically located in Spiral Mountain in the game.
 * The Top of the Tower is the only part of Gruntilda's lair that is still accessible in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. However, the hole where Banjo and Kazooie pop up from is gone, and, even with Spiral Mountains slight change in size, it is much smaller than during their final battle in Banjo-Kazooie.
