==Story==
== 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.

[[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.


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.

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.
