'''Gruntilda's Broomstick''' ('''The Super Gutlifter Pro/Lardmaster 2000/Rough Rider Deluxe''') is Grunty's main mode of transportation. Despite having eyes like other objects and characters, it remains completely mute (apart from making grunts), its only task being carrying [[Gruntilda]]'s considerably heavy weight from place to place. She uses it to kidnap [[Tooty]] and in the final battle to swoop down at the duo. Later in the battle, she uses it to stay out of reach from most of [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]'s attacks, but after being struck by all 4 Jinjo Statues, it explodes into splinters, grounding Gruntilda. It's unknown if she rebuilt it or not, as in [[Banjo-Tooie]], after his first defeat, [[Klungo]] runs back to Gruntilda, asking her to punish him by means of hits with her broomstick.

The '''Broomstick''' is a recurring character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].


In [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]], the final battle with Grunty takes place with her atop a vehicle modeled to look like a broomstick.
==Biography==
{{stub}}
The Broomstick is [[Gruntilda]]'s primary mode of transportation. Various iterations of it have appeared, such as its first version in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' which had green eyes and a mouth.


===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
Gruntilda is first seen using the Broomstick at the start of the game, where she uses it to kidnap [[Tooty]]. After being absent for the majority of the game, the Broomstick is again used by Gruntilda when [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] win the [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]]. It then is finally used in the final battle against the witch, where she tries to attack the duo by swooping down in the Broomstick while it opens its mouth. Sometimes, the broomstick will stop and smoke will come out of it. While Gruntilda tries to fix it by hitting it, she's vulnerable to attacks. Later in the battle, Grunty will start using the broom to stay of reach and avoid most of the duo's attacks. After being attacked by [[the Mighty Jinjonator]], the broomstick will be destroyed and Gruntilda will fall off her tower into a hole in the ground.


{{clear}}
The Broom's model is revealed by [[Brentilda]] to be either a '''Super Gutlifter Pro''', a '''Lardmaster 2000''', or a '''Rough Rider Deluxe''', depending on the save file. A painting of the Broom also appears in [[Mad Monster Mansion]]'s dining room as one of the seven pictures

===''Banjo-Tooie''===
The Broomstick is mentioned in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' after [[Klungo]] is defeated for the first time. As he leaves to Gruntilda, he asks that she would "please beat [him] with Broomssstick."
 
===''Banjo-Pilot''===
In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', the Broomstick appears as the symbol of the [[Broomstick Cup]] from the [[Grunty GP]]. The Broomstick has a largely different design from its previous iteration, being a small broom with yellow bristles and googly eyes on the handle.
 
===''Nuts & Bolts''===
[[File:Broomstick vehicle NnB.jpg|thumb|Grunty's Broomstick vehicle in ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'']]
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Gruntilda uses a vehicle version of her Broomstick as the fifth (and most difficult) part of the final battle. The vehicle has a laser and a [[Clockwork Kazooie Egg|Clockwork Kaz]], adding to the fight's difficulty. It also has two Mumbo Bombos and [[Piddles]] using the Egg Turret. The Broomstick is very quick, making it hard to attack. To defeat it, Banjo and Kazooie must knock Gruntilda off her [[Dingpot|seat]].
 
==Other appearances==
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Broomstick makes a cameo appearance on the [[Spiral Mountain]] DLC stage. Gruntilda swoops in on riding the Broomstick when the camera rests with her lair in the background. Its appearance is based on its original design from ''Banjo-Kazooie''.
