==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge'' was the first Rare game released after being purchased by [[Microsoft]] from [[Nintendo]], even though the game was released for a Nintendo game system.
*This is the first game in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]] where Kazooie can't fly. However, the game data shows unused sprites of Kazooie flying, [[Red Feather]]s, and [[Flight Pad]]s.<ref>[https://www.spriters-resource.com/resources/sheets/41/43848.png The Spriters Resource]</ref>

*While Gruntilda's plan is to prevent Banjo and Kazooie from meeting, the only thing she does in the past to actually be proactive in causing that is to imprison the [[Breegull]]s. After they are freed, all she and Klungo do is attempt to defeat the time-travelling Banjo and Kazooie from the present, with the initial plan never being brought up again.
*Many continuity-based plot holes are caused by this game being released significantly later than the other two and taking place both between them and before either of them. Most of these are related to character design and knowledge of one another, in that due to this game, Banjo and Kazooie should know of Klungo, Jiggywiggy, and Honey B. by the time of ''Banjo-Tooie'', but act as though they had never met. Furthermore, Mumbo Jumbo looks like he does in ''Banjo-Tooie'' in the past, despite how in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', only his face was a skull instead of his entire head.
