'''Gruntilda's Broomstick''' is a recurring object in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie series]]. It usually serves as[[Gruntilda]]'s primary mode of transportation. Grunty has gone through several Broomsticks throughout the series, each with different functions and designs.

The most recognizable and well-known Broomstick is arguably the one from the original ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. It had green eyes and had no lines except an occasional grunt. After being merely refrenced to in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', the next time a Broomstick appeared was in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', where it appeared, updated, as a poweful mechanical doomsday-device-like vehichle to fit the game's storyline and concept.

Gruntida's Broomstick only has one simple task; to carry Grunty's considerably heavy weight from place to place. The Broom is first used by Grunty to fly from her [[Gruntilda's Lair|tower]] and kidnap [[Tooty]]. After being absent for teh near-entirety of the game, it reappears in the final battle to serve Grunilda by swooping down to attack [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. humorously, when the Broomstick stops, it begins smoking and sputter, forcing Gruntilda to begin smacking it like a disabled car to restart it. Later in the battle, she uses it to stay out of reach from most of the duo's attacks, but after being struck by all 4 [[Jinjo]] Statues, the Broomstick is destroyed; explodes into splinters, grounding Gruntilda in the process.  

This particular Broom's name is revealed by [[Brentilda]] to be either '''The Super Gutlifter Pro.''', '''The Lardmaster 2000''', or '''The Rough Rider Deluxe''', depending on the save file.

In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', Grunty takes to the air in a vehicle modled after a broomstick in the final battle. The battle encompasses a total of five vehicles, with the broomstick being the last (and thus most difficult) in her arsenal. takes place with her atop a vehicle modeled to look like a broomstick. The broom is equiped with a Laser and a [[Clockwork Kazooie Eggs|Clockwork Kaz]], making it a very dangerous monstrosity.
