==Plot==
==Plot==
Set 8 years after ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', the plot of the game involves [[Banjo]] and [[Gruntilda]] competing to determine the true owner of [[Spiral Mountain]]. Banjo wishes to preserve his home while Gruntilda hatches an urban development scheme to replace the vegetated area with towers and malls. A new character named [[Lord of Games]] (also known as L.O.G.) attempts to settle the conflict between the two by devising a series of worlds and challenges. LOG transports the other characters to [[Showdown Town]], his headquarters, and starts the contest. The winner would be set to own Spiral Mountain; the loser must endure eternal hardship working at [[Lord of Games' Videogame Factory|L.O.G.'s game factory]]. While Banjo and [[Kazooie]] seek to win by completing the challenges, Grunty uses a slew of vehicles she presumably has built, as well as an army of mechanical [[Gruntbots]] to stop the duo from succeeding.<ref>http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/b/bknutsandbolts/</ref>

After entering different game worlds created by L.O.G., Banjo and Kazooie collect the amount of [[Jiggy|Jiggies]] needed to return [[Spiral Mountain|home]]. There, they will face Gruntilda to terminate this crazy adventure, but the witch will not be willing to lose.
