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. | Two months after [[Gruntilda]] was buried under a rock in [[Spiral Mountain]] in the original ''Banjo-Kazooie''.

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. | 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.

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" | 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.

Sound effects are sticking true to the classic sounds of Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie. However since the Game Boy Advance 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. | *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.

*[[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. | |||
