'''''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 [[Rare Ltd.]], 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.
'''''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge''''' is a {{wp|Video game graphics#Top-down perspective|top-down}} ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' game and the third of the series, developed by [[Rare Ltd.]] and released for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in 2003. The story takes place two months after ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', and involves [[Mecha-Grunty]] attempting to make it so that [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] never meet by messing with time.
It and its minigames would later be ported to mobile phones via [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge Mobile]] and [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge Missions]], respectively.


This game is both an interquel and a sequel to the Nintendo 64 games, in that the opening and ending take place between them, while the majority of the action takes place 20 years before the first.
== Story ==
Two months after [[Gruntilda]] was buried under a rock in [[Spiral Mountain]] in the original ''Banjo-Kazooie''. As no matter how much he tried, [[Klungo]] couldn't push the rock and unblock his master, he built her a mechanical body to host her spirit and get revenge on Banjo and Kazooie. [[Mumbo Jumbo]], who watched everything behind a bush, rushes to warn Banjo about the witch's return but she still manages to kidnap the bird, forcing the shaman to send the bear back in time so he can rescue his friend and stop Gruntilda once again.


==Plot==
Banjo then arrives at Spiral Mountain from the past and meets [[Bottles]]' ancestor, [[Bozzeye]], who offers to teach the bear and, eventually, Kazooie too the moves they have forgotten due to the time travel's side effects in exchange of [[Musical Note]]s. He eventually rescues his friend in [[Breegull Beach]], and the two continue to gather [[Jiggy|Jiggies]] for [[Master Jiggywiggy]] in order to enter [[Gruntilda's Lair]] and defeat her spirit.
Two months have passed since [[Gruntilda]] fell from her tower, putting the events of the game before that of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' in the timeline, and she is still trapped beneath the boulder. After trying to push the boulder off of herself, her loyal henchman [[Klungo]] decides that a different plan of action is required, so he builds a Gruntilda-shaped robot, the [[Mecha-Grunty]], into which Gruntilda's spirit transfers. While her real body would still be stuck underground, she could now initiate a scheme of revenge against [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] at will. Kidnapping Kazooie, she goes back in time with the plan to prevent the bear and bird duo from ever meeting in order to erase her prior defeat from history and restoring her to her previous self.


Springing into action, [[Mumbo Jumbo]] uses his own powers to send Banjo back to the same time to put a stop to Gruntilda's evil time-space continuum altering motives. Now, with the help of [[Bottles]]' ancestor, [[Bozzeye]], and a young Mumbo Jumbo, Banjo must thwart Gruntilda and rescue his pal Kazooie. He does so, and causes Grunty's spirit to return to her body under the rock, setting the events of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' into motion.
After Gruntilda is defeated, she is sent back to the present time and orders Klungo to send a message to her sisters, [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]], so they can break the rock as the minion would never be able to. If the game is not 100% completed, Mumbo from the past uses a spell to send Banjo and Kazooie back to the present but fails and they reach [[Banjo's House|their house]] with various copies of each other. If the game is 100% completed, however, they meet three purple [[Jinjo]]s who are commemorating how Gruntilda was defeated and they'll finally be able to reclaim their homeland, Spiral Mountain. A scene of Mumbo and [[Honey B]] doing the "bee dance" inside [[Mumbo's Skull]] is then shown, with the shaman saying he might even be able to show her his "special transformation."

==Music==
==Music==
The game's music was composed by Jamie Hughes instead of Grant Kirkhope, composer of the console titles. Sound effects are sticking true to the classic sounds of Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie. However since the Game Boy Advence games aren’t able to store as many sounds in their memory as the N64 games, characters’ voices are comprised of less sounds, and thus some voices sound repetitive.

*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.

*[[Microsoft]], who acquired Rare one year before this game's release, allowed [[THQ]] to publish this title and other [[Game Boy Advance]] games Rare devloped on their behalf due to most of said games already being in development before the buyout. Microsoft had no equivalent in the handheld market and did not want the development time and resources they acquired to go to waste.
