'''Glitter Gulch Mine''' is the second world | '''Glitter Gulch Mine''' is the second world in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. Entered through an old mine shaft in the [[Plateau]], it is a large underground cavern filled with mountains of colorful, glittering gems and wondrous rock formations known as glitter. The cavern was turned into an ore mine and filled with an intricate system of mine tracks. The mine was long since abandoned though, leaving behind only [[Canary Mary]], [[Bullion Bill]], and many [[Billy Bob]]s. | ||
== | Down even deeper, beneath the actual mines, is a complex network of tunnels known as the [[Ordnance Storage Challenge|Ordinance Storage]]. Small, dingy, wooden shacks (such as the [[Power Hut]], [[Crushing Shed]], and [[Prospector's Hut]]) are littered all throughout the mine. Parts of the mine (especially underground) are very dark and require the use of generators to power up the lights. | ||
Other notable landmarks include the [[Gloomy Caverns]], fungi-ridden caverns with small prison cells, and Bullion Bill's shack. Streams of water constantly flow through the mines, and most likely come from the [[Waterfall Cavern]]. | |||

A part of Glitter Gulch Mine, specifically the pile of crystals near the beginning, makes an appearance in [[Banjoland]] of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. They are under a glass case, and various mine cart rails are held up by poles, the top pole in the center being especially unstable. According to the description, the level was originally planned for ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. | A part of Glitter Gulch Mine, specifically the pile of crystals near the beginning, makes an appearance in [[Banjoland]] of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''.
