At last, the dirty lightgreen and blue smog was beginning to clear. Gruntilda the witch stood at the topmost window of her Lair, grinning wickedly down on her newly discovered world like a thundercloud before a storm. "Tiny creatures far below," she cackled, "which of you'll be first to go?" The witch rubbed her hands in glee at the prospect of becoming even more lovely than she already was. Landing somewhere new was always exciting - and judging by all the puffing and clanking coming from the next room, it seemed as if her greatest invention felt the same way. And what an invention it was! A machine that could suck out the physical beauty from its victims, ready for Gruntilda to absorb like a sponge! The witch rubbed the graceful curve of her chin with pride. Nobody else would even have dreamed of creating such a marvellous thing, she thought. Least of all her pretty sister, Brentilda. How dare that interfering do-gooder inherit the family good looks and not her? How dare she be born with a face so angelic when Gruntilda had always been... well... slightly disadvantaged in that department? Thanks to her mechanical pride and joy in the next room, though, Gruntilda knew that all that would soon change. Hah! At last she could become beautiful beyond her wildest dreams! Picking her nose in a particularly smug manner, the witch turned her attention away from the window to the bubbling cauldron nearby, and began to cast the truth spell - a spell which, she thought, would confirm her place as the most wonderfully attractive creature on this latest world of hers...
The witch of [[Spiral Mountain]], [[Gruntilda]], is inside her lair, and is asking [[Dingpot]], her cauldron, questions about the 'fairest of them all', to which Dingpot reluctantly answers "You are, mistress". She continues asking, until Dingpot finally breaks his 'silence', and tells the witch that [[Tooty]], another inhabitant of Spiral Mountain, is in fact the fairest of them all. Grunty reacts badly, and then decides to kidnap Tooty, and steal her beauty. She grabs her broom and sets off immdeiately.


Meanwhile, Tooty was enjoying the warmth of the sun and the happy birdsong all around as she skipped home through the deep lightgreen fields of Spiral Mountain. The young bear had spent a carefree couple of hours out piping amongst the woodland animals, and now she was heading back to have another try at waking that big lazy brother of hers. Just as the cosy little house that she shared with Banjo and Kazooie came into view up ahead, Tooty slowed down to watch a nearby molehill tremble, splutter and sprout a pair of blurry eyes that could only belong to her good friend Bottles. "Hi there, Bottles!" beamed the young bear. "Morning, Tooty," blinked the mole as his round little body came up out of the hole with a pop. "And what are your plans for this lovely day?" Tooty jumped up and down excitedly as his words reminded her of Banjo's promise. "Oh! I'm going to get my lazy brother out of bed, and we're going on an adventure!" she squealed.
Meanwhile, Tooty is running around Spiral Mountain, when she is greeted by [[Bottles|Bottles the mole]] in front of her house. She eagerly tells him that she's going on an adventure with her brother, [[Banjo]]. Inside the house, [[Banjo]] is sleeping soudly, with his friend, [[Kazooie]], sleeping in his backpack, hanging on a coat rack. Tooty and Bottles are still talking, when Bottles spots Grunty in the distance, but confuses her for Banjo (due to his short-sightedness). Grunty immediately goes for Tooty, and a struggle ensues. Kazooie is woken up by the clamour, and Bottle's cries, and wakes Banjo up. They leave their house, only to discover that Grunty's gone off with Tooty. Bottles tells the duo that they must go to [[Gruntilda's Lair]] to rescue Tooty, and offers to prepare them to fight Gruntilda, as well as help them into the lair, by fixing the bridge. Banjo and Kazooie set off onto the lair, knowing their goal.


Bottles smiled absent-mindedly at her. "That'll be nice," he said, then squinted up into the sky over her shoulder. "Hey, isn't that your brother up there?" Tooty turned to look, and saw an odd shape swooping down towards them at high speed. "No, I don't think that's Banjo," she said, frowning. "I wonder who it could be..."
Once inside the lair, the two find a [[Jiggy]], which tells them that they need to be placed into paintings around the lair to open up levels. They soon find a painting which that Jiggy goes into, which opens the first level, [[Mumbo's Mountain]]. They enter and find that their quest isn't as easy as they anticipated. They find that they need to rescue [[Jinjo|Jinjos]], who will award them with a Jiggy for their efforts, as well as [[Musical Notes]], who are needed to open up [[Note Doors]], which close off nessecary areas in the lair. They also meet [[Mumbo Jumbo]], who is a shaman who is enemies with Gruntilda, and offers his services, by transforming the duo into certain animals.  


Sweeter than me? Prettier than me? Impossible! Gruntilda was so furious at the cauldron's words that she wasn't really concentrating on flying her broomstick, and had to pull up sharply as her boots clipped the top of a fence. This only made her even angrier than before, and she found herself screeching abuse at thin air. "As cute as me, you stupid pot? For her own sake, I hope she's not!" The witch zoomed recklessly on through the skies until her intended target came into view: the unnecessarily cute young bear shown to her by that treacherous cauldron, staring up now from the field far below. Gruntilda snorted. "I need those looks far more than she, and finally perfect I shall be!"
The two continue progessing through the lair, collecting Notes, Jiggies and rescuing Jinjos along the way. They also encounter Mumbo and Bottles several times, who continue to help the two by transforming and teaching them moves (respectively), as well as Gruntilda's sister and exact opposite, [[Brentilda]], who gossips about her ugly sister.  


With a loud scream and a cackle, the witch took aim and sent the broomstick into a dive. Kazooie popped out of the backpack in alarm as noise erupted just outside the window. "Banjo! Banjo!" she squawked, recognising two of the three yelling voices as those of Tooty and Bottles the mole. "Banjo, wake up!" The Honey Bear groaned and pulled the pillow over his head. "Aww, leave me alone, Kazooie, it's too early," came his muffled voice.
Banjo and Kazooie eventually reach Gruntilda, but must go through her quiz show, Furnace Fun, where Brentilda's gossip finally comes in handy. After Grunty is defeated, she escapes. They rescue Tooty, and hold a barbeque back home. Tooty, however, reminds Banjo  that Grunty is still at large.  
 
Banjo and Kazooie make their way back up the lair until they finally reach the roof, with help from Dingpot. There Gruntilda challenges them to a more direct confrontation. However, with the help of the Jinjos, Banjo and Kazooie defeat Gruntilda and ultimately knock her off her tower. She lands in a hole in the ground which is covered by a large rock that fell from the tower, trapping her. Banjo and Kazooie finally take a well-deserved break at the beach, where they and their friends anticipate the sequel, [[Banjo-Tooie]], while Gruntilda, whose minion [[Klungo]] is trying to rescue her, swears revenge.


"This is no time to be lazy, Banjo!" trilled the Breegull, her anxious fidgeting causing the backpack to swing to and fro on the hatstand it hung from. "We've got trouble! Pull yourself together!" Banjo groaned again, rolled over, and was about to say something else when Kazooie's struggles proved too much for the supporting stand, toppling it onto the floor with a crash and an undignified squawk. The Honey Bear jumped out of bed in surprise, just as the curtains flapped open with the backlash from something launching itself at high speed from his front lawn. And beneath the manic cackling that reached him on the wind, he heard the helpless cries of a voice he recognised... Tooty's! Banjo gulped and searched the room for his feathered friend, realising that this was definitely going to be one of those days. "Uh, Kazooie, what are you doing down there?" he said in confusion, snatching up the backpack as he bolted for the door. "This is no time to be lazy - we've got trouble!"

Banjo-Kazooie was the first game in the Banjo-Kazooie series. It was created by Rare Ltd. in 1998. In this game, Banjo and his friend Kazooie try to save Banjo's sister, Tooty, from the evil witch, Gruntilda, before she steals Tooty's beauty.


Plot

The witch of Spiral Mountain, Gruntilda, is inside her lair, and is asking Dingpot, her cauldron, questions about the 'fairest of them all', to which Dingpot reluctantly answers "You are, mistress". She continues asking, until Dingpot finally breaks his 'silence', and tells the witch that Tooty, another inhabitant of Spiral Mountain, is in fact the fairest of them all. Grunty reacts badly, and then decides to kidnap Tooty, and steal her beauty. She grabs her broom and sets off immdeiately.

Meanwhile, Tooty is running around Spiral Mountain, when she is greeted by Bottles the mole in front of her house. She eagerly tells him that she's going on an adventure with her brother, Banjo. Inside the house, Banjo is sleeping soudly, with his friend, Kazooie, sleeping in his backpack, hanging on a coat rack. Tooty and Bottles are still talking, when Bottles spots Grunty in the distance, but confuses her for Banjo (due to his short-sightedness). Grunty immediately goes for Tooty, and a struggle ensues. Kazooie is woken up by the clamour, and Bottle's cries, and wakes Banjo up. They leave their house, only to discover that Grunty's gone off with Tooty. Bottles tells the duo that they must go to Gruntilda's Lair to rescue Tooty, and offers to prepare them to fight Gruntilda, as well as help them into the lair, by fixing the bridge. Banjo and Kazooie set off onto the lair, knowing their goal.

Once inside the lair, the two find a Jiggy, which tells them that they need to be placed into paintings around the lair to open up levels. They soon find a painting which that Jiggy goes into, which opens the first level, Mumbo's Mountain. They enter and find that their quest isn't as easy as they anticipated. They find that they need to rescue Jinjos, who will award them with a Jiggy for their efforts, as well as Musical Notes, who are needed to open up Note Doors, which close off nessecary areas in the lair.
