==Similarities to other witches== | |||
Gruntilda's personality and actions resemble those of evil witches and other characters in fictional works. Her reason for kidnapping [[Tooty]] for her beauty is similar to the [[wikipedia:Evil Queen|Evil Queen's]] motives in the tale of ''[[wikipedia:Snow White and the Seven Dwarves|Snow White and the Seven Dwarves]]''. Ironically, in the Walt Disney adaptaion, the Witch falls to her doom and gets crushed by a boulder as does Gruntilda at the climax of the final battle from the first game. She also bears resemblance to the [[wikipedia:Wicked Witch of the West|Wicked Witch of the West]] from [[wikipedia:L.Frank Baum|L. Frank Baum's]] ''[[wikipedia:The Wonderful Wizard of Oz|The Wonderful Wizard of Oz]]'' and its adaptations. Finally, her use of [[Dingpot|a cauldron]] and her two wicked sisters, [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]], resemble the wicked witches from [[wikipedia:William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare's]] ''[[wikipedia:Macbeth|Macbeth]]''. | |||

*Gruntilda does not rhyme in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' as a condition to enlisting her sisters' help, even after she kills them in her [[Tower of Tragedy]] quiz. She starts the game rhyming until the point where the three witches start to steal King Jingaling's lifeforce. | |||

*Gruntilda seems very fond of game shows, as she hosts three of them at the end of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]''. However, [[L.O.G.]] replaces her as the game show host in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. | *Gruntilda seems very fond of game shows, as she hosts three of them at the end of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]''.
