'''The Story, from the game manual:'''<br />

At last, the dirty green and blue smog was beginning to clear. [[Gruntilda]] stood at the topmost window of her [[Gruntilda's Lair|Lair]], grinning wickedly down on her latest world.<br />

"Tiny creatures far below," she cackled, "which of you'll be first to go?"<br />

The witch rubbed her hands in glee at the prospect of putting her favorite invention to good use. It was her pride and joy: a machine that could suck the physical beauty from its victims for Gruntilda to absorb like a sponge!<br />

And it would certainly teach her cutesy sister [[Brentilda]] a lesson. How dare that interfering do-gooder inherit the family good looks and leave Gruntilda, well... slightly disadvantaged in that department?<br />

Hah! Not any more, gloated the witch, picking her nose smugly. Not any more.<br />

Turning back to the bubbling [[Dingpot|cauldron]], Gruntilda began to cast the spell which would reassure her that she was, of course, the most wonderfully attractive creature in this bright new world...<br />

Meanwhile, [[Tooty]] was skipping home through the sunny green fields of [[Spiral Mountain]]. As she reached the garden gate, a pair of blurry eyes that could only belong to her good friend [[Bottles]] popped up from a nearby molehill.<br />

"Morning Tooty," he blinked, uncorking himself from the hole. "And what are your plans for this fine day?"<br />

Tooty jumped up and down excitedly, remembering [[Banjo|Banjo's]] promise. "Oh!", she squealed. "When my lazy brother gets out of bed, we're going on an adventure!"<br />

"That's nice." Bottles squinted up into the sky. "Hang on, isn't that your brother up there?"<br />

Tooty turned, and saw an odd shape swooping down towards them of high speed.<br />

"No, that can't be Banjo," she said, frowning. "I wonder who it is...".<br />

"Sweeter than me? Prettier than me? Impossible!"<br />

Gruntilda was so furious at the cauldron's words that she could barely control her [[Gruntilda's Broomstick|broomstick]], screeching with the treetops.<br />

"As cute as me, you stupid pot? For her own sake, I hope she's not!"<br />

The witch sped recklessly on until her target finaly came into view: staring up at her from a field far below was the innocent young Honey Bear she'd seen in the depths of that treacherous cauldonr.<br />

Gruntilda cackled. "I need those looks for more than she, and finallty perfect I shall be!" she cried, and sent the broomstick into a steep dive.<br />

[[Kazooie]] popped out of the backpack as noise erupted just outside the window.<br />

"[[Banjo]]!" she squawked in alarm. "Banjo, wake up!"<br />

The Honey Bear groaned and pulled a pillow ober his head. "Aww, Kazooie, it's too early," come his muffled voice.<br />

"This is no time to be lazy, furface!" trilled the Breegull, swinging anxiously to and fro. "We've got trouble!"<br />

Banjo yawned, rolled over - and fell out of bed in surprise as Kazooie's<br />

with a crash.<br />

of a voice he recognised...<br />

Tooty!<br />

days.<br />

"Uh, Kazooie, what are you doing down there?" he said in confusion, grabbing the<br />

backpack as he bolted for the door.<br />

"This is no time to be lazy - we've got

trouble!"­<br />
