Glitter Gulch Mine is the second level in Banjo-Tooie. It is a large underground cavern filled with mountains of colurful, glittering of gems and wonderous rock formations. The cavern was turned into an ore mine and filled with an intracite system of mine tracks. The mine was long since abandonded though, leaving behind only Canary Mary, Bullion Bill, and many Billy Bobs. Down even deeper, beneath the actual mines, is a complex network of tunnels known as the Ordinance Storage. Small, dingy, wooden shacks (such as the Power Shed, Crushing Shed, and Bullion Bill's home) 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. This level was to be featured in Banjo-Kazooie but was not finished in time, so it was stored for later.
Other notable landmarks include the Gloomy Caverns, fungal 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.
The entrance to Glitter Gulch mine is an old mine shaft located on the Plateau.
Moves Learned
Collectibles
Jiggies
- Reuniting Dilberta and Bullion Bill: Dilberta is trapped in Mayahem Temple's Prison Compound. Stony Banjo must talk to the Stony in the Prison Compound to learn the sequence of the nearby switches needed to unlock the door to Dilberta's cell (it varies from game to game). After entering the cell and breaking the large rock connecting back to Glitter Gulch Mine using Bill Drill, she will return to Bill and the duo is given a Jiggy.
- Waterfall Cavern: A Jiggy is located just in front of the grand waterfall in the Waterfall Cavern.
- Underground Pipe Maze: There is a series of submerged pipes in a room beside the Waterfall Cavern. If Banjo and Kazooie can correctly navigate through the maze they emerge in a dark room, where only a Jiggy (and two Billy Bobs) are visible.
- Navigating Generator Room: The Generator Room is located in the depths of Glitter Gulch Mine, which is powered by generators, which, in turn, are powered by Fire Eggs. The duo must make thier way across the winding passageway while simultaneously power up each generator to make it to the end of the cavern where the Jiggy lies.
- Racing Canary Mary: Once Detonator Banjo clears the rocks in front of the tunnel by Wumba's Wigwam, the duo may free Canary Mary, who, once freed, repairs the broken handcar next to the entrance. The prize for defeating her in a race is a Jiggy.
- Crushing Shed: Mumbo must levitate the boulder with the Jiggy emblem on it into the shed once Banjo and Kazooie have activated the grinder inside it. The Jiggy boulder will be crushed, but the Jiggy will break into three pieces and land outside the shed. Mumbo may then pick up the pieces, which, once collected, equate to a full Jiggy.
- Ordnance Storage: Bullion Bill gives the duo a Jiggy for completing the Ordnance Storage Challenge.
- Braving the Power Shed: The basement of the Power Shed holds a Jiggy, however it is dark, and requires the duo to Split-up. Banjo must climb to the Power Shed's attic and turn the lights on below, while Kazooie must cross the narrow and dangerous platforms leading to the Jiggy.
- Behind the Waterfall: A Jiggy is hidden high above in an alcove behind a waterfal near the Crushing Shed. Springy Step Shoes are required. Alternatively, a well-aimed Clockwork Kazooie Egg can also collect this Jiggy.
- Defeating Old King Coal: Before Banjo and Kazooie may fight Old King Coal, the boss of Glitter Gulch Mine, Chuffy must be restored Mumbo's majic. After the train is back on its tracks, the duo can fight Old King Coal for his Jiggy.
