The '''Big-O-Blaster''' (better known as '''B.O.B.''') is a doomsday weapon built by [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]] in [[Banjo-Tooie]]. The machine can suck the life force out of anything shot by its energy beam, reducing objects to a monochrome state and zombifying living creatures. This process also works in reverse, providing there is enough life force stored for the target.

The '''Big-O-Blaster''' (also formatted '''Big O'Blaster'''<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-64/Banjo-Tooie-269426.html Banjo Tooie | Nintendo 64 | Games | Nintendo] ([https://archive.ph/icKWn archive.is])</ref> and often shortened '''B.O.B.''') is a recurring object in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].


Mingella and Blobbelda intended to restore their undead sister [[Gruntilda]] to full life after she was defeated by [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] and trapped under a boulder for two years. Once rescued, Grunty used B.O.B. to suck the life force from [[King Jingaling]] and his palace; however, since Gruntilda's body was somewhat less than slim, Jingaling's life force alone wasn't quite enough. She decided to blast the entire [[Isle o' Hags]], which was possible, but only after a charge-up that took so long that Banjo and Kazooie reached [[Cauldron Keep]] before it could fire. Once the pair beat back Grunty and her sisters, Kazooie restored the life force to Jingaling's palace and also [[Bottles]], who was killed much earlier. Where the "extra" life force that saved Bottles came from is unknown.
==Location and uses==
Big-O-Blaster is a powerful mechanical blaster built by [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]]. It is capable of sucking the life force of any living beings by blasting them with a laser beam, transforming its targets into lifeless zombies. This can also work in reverse, giving the life force stored in it back to someone.


===''Banjo-Tooie''===
The Big-O-Blaster first appears in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', where Mingella and Blobbelda intended to use the Big-O-Blaster to restore their sister [[Gruntilda]]'s body, which became a skeleton after being buried under a boulder for two years. Gruntilda first stole [[King Jingaling]]'s life force in an attempt to restore her body, but it alone wasn't enough. After that, she decides to blast the entire [[Isle O' Hags]] as that would certainly absorb enough energy to complete her objective. However, in order to do that, the device needed a long charge-up. In this period of time, Banjo and Kazooie manage to arrive the tower in [[Cauldron Keep]] where the weapon resided, defeating the witches and successfully restoring King Jingaling, [[King Jingaling's Throne Room|his palace]] and [[Bottles]], who was killed much earlier in the game.
===''Banjo-Pilot''===
[[File:BP - Cauldron Keep.png|thumb|The Big-O-Blaster in ''Banjo-Pilot''.]]
In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', the Big-O-Blaster appears as part of the background of the Cauldron Keep course.
===''Nuts & Bolts''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', the Big-O-Blaster is mentioned by the [[Lord of Games]] during his [[List of questions from The Six of the Best|quiz]]. In one of the questions, he asks "what was the name of Grunty's giant life-sucking gun in ''Banjo-Tooie''," with the right answer being "B.O.B." and the wrong answers being "A.L.F.," "S.U.X.X.O.R.Z." and "E.R.S.A.."
