'''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge''' is the third installment in the [[Banjo-Kazooie series]], made for [[Nintendo]]'s [[wikipedia:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]]. The game was developed by [[Rare]], like the other games in the series, and was published by THQ. The game used an overhead, looking down platform design to replicate the 3-D feel of the console entries in the series but on a smaller scale. It is the first ''Banjo-Kazooie'' game that was not released in Japan.

Two months have passed since [[Gruntilda]] fell from her tower, putting the events of the game before those of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' in the timeline, and she is still trapped beneath the boulder. After several weeks of trying to push the boulder off, her loyal henchman [[Klungo]] decides that a different plan of action is required: 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 revenge scheme against Banjo and Kazooie at will. Kidnapping Kazooie, she goes back in time two decades with the plan to prevent the bear and bird duo from ever meeting, therefore erasing her prior defeat from history and restoring her.  

Springing into action, [[Mumbo Jumbo]] uses his own powers to send [[Banjo]] back to the same time to put a stop to Gruntilda's time-space continuum altering desires. Now, with the help of [[Bottles|Bottles']] ancestor, [[Bozzeye]], and a young Mumbo Jumbo, Banjo must thwart Gruntilda and rescue Kazooie. He does, and makes Grunty's spirit go back into her body under the rock, thus setting the events of ''Banjo-Tooie'' into motion.

*It was the first Rare game released after being purchased by [[Microsoft]] from [[Nintendo]]. Although, the game is for a Nintendo game system.

*When the game was first released there was a theory that the game was a What If&nbsp;: Banjo-Tooie never happened, thus making a Parallel Universe. This caused a little bit of confusion as to why Gruntilda wasn't rescued.
