'''Banjo-Kazooie''' is a series of video games developed by the UK-based company [[Rare]]. Its first game, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', debuted in 1998 for the Nintendo 64. A sequel was made in 2000 for the same system titled ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. An interquel between the first two games, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', was released for the Gameboy Advance in 2003, and in 2005 a spin-off racing game, ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', was also made for the GBA. Two games based on Grunty's Revenge (Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge Mobile and Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge Missions) were created for download on cell phones.
