'''Gruntilda's Broomstick''' (also known as '''The Super Gutlifter Pro.''', '''The Lardmaster 2000''', or '''The Rough Rider Deluxe''') is [[Gruntilda|Gruntilda's]] primary mode of transportation in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. Despite having eyes like other objects and characters, it does not speak (apart from making grunts). Its only task is to carry Grunty's considerably heavy weight from place to place. She uses it to kidnap [[Tooty]] and in the final battle to swoop down and attack [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. Later in the battle, she uses it to stay out of reach from most of the duo's attacks, but after being struck by all 4 [[Jinjo]] Statues, the Broomstick explodes into splinters, grounding Gruntilda. It is unknown whether she rebuilt it or not, as in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', after his first defeat, [[Klungo]] runs back to Gruntilda, asking her to punish him by giving him more beatings with her "broomstick".

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', the final battle with Grunty takes place with her atop a vehicle modeled to look like a broomstick.

*In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Gruntilda's Broomstick coughs and splutters whenever it tires from the diving attack Gruntilda uses initially during the final battle.

*During the final battle, when the Broomstick stops, it begins smoking and stutter, so Gruntilda begins smacking it like a disabled car. This may or may not suggest that the Broomstick is mechanical or that it is just a humorous animation.
