Set eight years after the events of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', and due to Banjo and Kazooie's lack of adventures over the past few years, the duo have gained many pounds, and are now overweight and very unhealthy.

There are 6 new levels (not including Showdown Town and Spiral Mountain). Each new world is split into 6 acts (à la ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series) each with a number of Jiggies obtainable (L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges has no Jiggies to obtain, since they go to the picture). Like the other console games, the levels can be accessed from the hub world and themed music will play when neared. Each world has its own intro that plays when you enter the world for the first time. | There are 6 new levels (not including Showdown Town and Spiral Mountain).

*[[Nutty Acres]] - An artificial grassland level located in Nutty Island. A tropical setting where coconuts have a reputation as the biggest and best in the world. In the center of the island is Mumbo's farm, to south of which the shaman has his own coconut plantation. In the swamp, growing on a tree, the Coco Loco grows. Gruntilda tries to steal it, but this is prevented by Banjo. Nutty Acres also has its own volcano, where the player can get an Achievement if a bull is thrown inside it. | *[[Nutty Acres]] - An artificial grassland level located in Nutty Island.
