'''''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge''''' is the third installment in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]] and was released in 2003 for the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy Advance]]. The game was developed by [[Rareware]], as were the two previous games in the series, and was published by [[wikipedia:THQ|THQ]]. The game uses an overhead, top down platform design to replicate the 3-D feel of the previous console games in the series but on a smaller scale. It was the first game in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]] to not be released in Japan. Although Banjo and Kazooie do not recognize many of the main characters in Banjo-Tooie after meeting them in this game. ''Banjo-Kazooie Grunty's Revenge'' features many of the [[Abilities]] that were previously in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', as well as introducing newer moves.

*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>

*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.
