'''''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''''' is a ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' title released on [[Xbox 360]] in 2008. It is a direct follow-up to ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. The game was announced at [[Microsoft]]'s X06 in 2006 at Barcelona, Spain and was released on November 11, 2008.<ref>http://play.tm/wire/click/1894716</ref> The game is backwards compatible with [[Xbox One]] and Xbox Series X/S, and was included in ''[[Rare Replay]]'' and Xbox Cloud Gaming (Project xCloud) service.

In early 2009, [[L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges]], a DLC for the game, was released for 400 [[wikipedia:Microsoft Points|Microsoft Points]].

==Story==
Eight years after the events of ''Banjo-Tooie'', Banjo and Kazooie became lazy and fat due to the lack of adventures. [[Gruntilda]]'s disembodied skull then reappears after finally reaching [[Banjo's house]] to settle their rivalry. Right before their fight starts, an entity known as the [[Lord of Games]] pauses the game and unpauses it to offer a way to decide who shall be the owner of [[Spiral Mountain]] and starts a game where many "pointless collectibles" appear throughout Spiral Mountain and the three must race to see who collects them all. Right after this starts, however, he states that this is "painful to watch" and instead takes them to a brand new Game World "considerably more impressive" than what they've seen before, but not after putting the duo in shape, giving the witch a new body and gifting both the duo and Grunty vehicles. Once they arrive in [[Showdown Town]], L.O.G. explains how the game will work: Banjo and Kazooie need to enter the Game Worlds through the Act Doors scattered throughout town to obtain [[Jiggy|Jiggies]] to open more Acts until they can enter Spiral Mountain again, where the final battle shall take place. To collect what they need, however, they need to use vehicles they can build themselves in [[Mumbo's Motors]] with the parts they obtain along the way or buy pre-made [[blueprint]]s from [[Humba Wumba]]. Gruntilda also obtains a new sidekick, [[Piddles]], and builds herself new minions, the [[Gruntbot]]s.

Once in Spiral Mountain, Banjo and Kazooie win against Gruntilda once again, forcing her to work forever in [[L.O.G.'s Video Game Factory]] and becoming the legal owners of Spiral Mountain. The witch, however, states that she will secretly make a "devious game" while there.

==Gameplay==
The gameplay of ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'' largely differs from the previous games. As Banjo and Kazooie have forgotten their moves and the bird's wings have been "clipped," they need to use vehicles in order to complete challenges and win their prizes. Outside a vehicle, they can use the newly-acquired [[Mumbo's Wrench]] to lift objects up or attack enemies. They can also climb things and swim.

Inside a vehicle, Banjo has many more possibilities. He can build them inside [[Mumbo Jumbo]]'s garage in the Town Square of Showdown Town with parts acquired from [[Mumbo Crate]]s such as engines, wings, propellers, wheels, fuel, ammo and weapons among other things, making for a wide variety of possible creations to complete objectives in multiple different ways.

Collectibles from previous games also return, although now having different functions. Throughout the Game Worlds, [[Musical Note]]s can be found and collected to be used as currency in Showdown Town. They can be spent to buy Humba Wumba's blueprints, work out in [[Boggy]]'s [[Boggy's Gym|Gym]], bribe [[Pikelet]] or buy [[Jolly Roger|Jolly Dodger]]'s black market Jiggies, among other things. Jiggies are used to open Act Doors and obtain even more Jiggies in order to reach Spiral Mountain and face Gruntilda. [[T.T. Trophy|T.T. Trophies]], the highest rewards in regular challenges, are used to obtain even more Jiggies at [[Trophy Thomas]]' [[Jig-O-Vend]]. [[Jinjo Token]]s are used to obtain Musical Notes and vehicle parts in [[King Jingaling]]'s [[Bingo Palace]].

"''Grabbed by the Ghoulies''" appears as a wrong answer for a question in L.O.G.'s quiz in Spiral Mountain where he asks what's the game that had a Banjo appearance despite not being a ''Banjo-Kazooie'' game, but as the right one in a question that asks "in which game could the dumbster outside Banjo's house in Spiral Mountain be previously seen."

The Papery Pal vehicle part is also a Lickatoad, and Mumbo states that "''[[rarewiki:Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise|Trouble in Paradise]]'' is good game" and that he recommends "player buy it tomorrow" in the accessory's description. In the description of the Spike, Mumbo says that the weapon turns whichever vehicle it is attached to into a [[rarewiki:Fudgehog|Fudgehog]], and in the description of the Super Fuel, he mentions that the tank contains enough fuel to "drive whole way to Pinata{{sic}} Island." ''[[rarewiki:Viva Piñata|Viva Piñata]]'' and ''Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise'' discs are also found at LOGBOX 720. During a Jinjo Fetch challenge in Banjoland, a Jinjo also asks for Banjo to find his lost [[rarewiki:Fergy Fudgehog|Fergie]] in the [[Click Clock Wood Tree]]. One of the matches listed in the Jiggosseum scoreboard is of [[rarewiki:Franklin' Fizzlybear|Franklin' Fizzlybear]] against [[rarewiki:Professor Pester|Professor Pester]]. One of the Jinjo Fetch challenges in the same Game World has a Jinjo ask for Banjo to retrieve a joy candy he lost. A game called "''[[List of implied entertainment#Viva Piñata Kart|Viva Piñata Kart]]''" also appears inside L.O.G.'s Video Game Factory during the ending.

==Reception==
''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'' was, upon release, harshly criticized for straying away too much from the formula used by its predecessors, ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Banjo-Tooie'', but was praised for its vehicle building system and inovative gameplay. The game's reception was, as stated by Rare Ltd., "expected,"<ref>[https://www.destructoid.com/destructoid-interview-banjo-kazooie-nuts-bolts/ Destructoid interview: Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts – Destructoid]</ref> having sold over 140,000 in the {{wp|United States of America}} by the end of 2008 and surpassing 100,000 units sold in the {{wp|United Kingdom}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100417223849/http://www.elspa.com/?i=3942 ELSPA: About ELSPA: Sales Awards: Silver] on Wayback Machine</ref>

|''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is a game that never stopped being fun for me. It's an odd duck that doesn't fit into any conventional game genres and probably isn't right for everybody. Despite its friendly appearance, Nuts & Bolts isn't exactly easy to pick up and play and might be over the head of some small children. There's a lot of depth here and the vehicle creation tools allow you to flex your mind and your fingers at the same time. This is a great change of pace from the usual Xbox 360 fare and a game that will offer a lot of fun to those willing to invest some time in it.''

|''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is a fantastically fun update to an aging formula. The easy vehicle-creation tool makes even the craziest ideas possible, and the missions let you exert your creative muscle in spectacular fashion. Aside from a few control quirks and frame-rate issues, N&B is a joy from beginning to end, providing a constant string of new parts and objectives to keep you entertained for a long time. If this is the direction that the Banjo franchise is going in, let's hope it's not another eight years between games.''

|''Funny, inventive, gorgeous--and cheap. Microsoft decided to charge a mere $40 for Nuts & Bolts, but I got more laughs and more satisfying gameplay out of this one than most of the $60 games I've played this year. And even after spending nearly 20 hours amassing enough jiggies to take down the final boss, I'm compelled to get back in there and keep playing new missions, unlocking new vehicle parts, and exploring more of the game's beautiful world. I had no affection whatsoever for the Banjo-Kazooie franchise or characters going into Nuts & Bolts, but its list of great qualities quietly won me over to make it one of my favorite Xbox 360 games of the year.''
