The '''Engine Room''' is a huge, cavernous area inside the [[Rusty Bucket]] from ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.
The '''Engine Room''' is a large area found within the [[Rusty Bucket]] of [[Rusty Bucket Bay]] in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. It can be accessed by using the [[Beak Barge]] to open a door on the side of a smokestack, and contains the ship's engines.


The Engine Room is entered by using [[Beak Barge]] on the door at the bottom of the rear smokestack. [[Banjo]] drops down the smokestack to enter the room, where he must cross a great deal of rotating platforms and gears to access twelve [[Musical Notes]], a [[Jiggy]], a pair of [[Mumbo Token]]s, an [[Extra Honeycomb Piece]], and a pair of switches that, if both trigged with a [[Beak Buster]], will shut off the ship's main propellers for 65 seconds, clearing the way to another Jiggy. The two switches also halt the rotating shafts in the room, making it easier to collect everything. If the player can't make it in time, [[Grunty]] will say "A simple task you were assured, but Grunty's engines start once more!"
Inside, [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] need to cross a series of rotating plataforms (some which spin too quickly to get across normally, requiring certain switches outside the room to be pressed in order to fully explore it) in order to collect 12 [[Musical Note]]s, two [[Mumbo Token]]s and a [[Jiggy]]. Two [[Propeller Switch]]es are also found in the room that, when pressed with the [[Beak Buster]], cause the engines in the room and the propellers in the back of the ship to stop for 65 seconds, allowing the duo to obtain the [[Jiggy]] behind them.
 
If Banjo falls off of the platforms, he will fall into what looks like boiling oil, causing instant death. There is no way to avoid this once Banjo falls off. If you land on the pipes, you will still slide off. This is particularly frustrating because if you die you have to restart collecting notes from scratch (assuming you aim to get all 100 notes, and there are notes in this room as well) and it is notoriously easy to fall off and die. This is one of the main reasons why this room is so disliked.
 
Even before the Engine Room can be explored fully, Banjo and [[Kazooie]] must hop down into an adjacent room and hit a switch that causes the giant fans to slow down sporadically. Otherwise, they will spin too quickly to jump through. Even when they spin slower, you still run a great risk of falling off, because if your angle is off when jumping and if you get hit, the knock back may throw you off the platforms.
 
The Engine Room (as well as possibly the rest of Rusty Bucket Bay) is referenced in [[Banjoland]] in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', where a signpost states that its difficulty was far too hardcore for today's modern players.
