'''Grunty's Furnace Fun''' is a sinister game show hosted by none other than the wicked [[Gruntilda]] herself.
'''Grunty's Furnace Fun''' is a minigame in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', taking the form of a quiz show hosted by [[Gruntilda]].


[[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] must get past the quiz show, defeat Grunty, and save [[Tooty]]. When the player steps on a square, he or she must answer one of Gruntilda's question correctly in order to proceed to the next squares. If a question is answered incorrectly, Banjo and Kazooie lose one [[Honeycomb]] and will not proceed to the next square. If a question is answered wrong on a skull space, Banjo and Kazooie are immediately thrown into the pit of lava and must start the quiz all over again! (It should be noted that missing questions on skull spaces is the only way to ever fall into the lava pit, since an invisible barrier prevents you from walking directly off the board.) Another thing which should be mentioned is that all of your [[abilities]] are disabled excluding the basic [[jump]].
The entrance to Grunty's Furnace Fun is hidden behind a [[Note Door]] that requires 765 [[Note|Notes]] to open. Behind the door is a small corridor leading to a room with a warp pad showing Tooty's face on it; stepping on the pad warps Banjo and Kazooie to a fiery cavern, where the minigame starts.


There are three different prizes at the display: [[Tooty]] for first place, the [[Washing Machine]] for second place, and the [[Gruntilda Doll]] for third place.
==Overview==
Grunty's Furnace Fun takes the form of a quiz show, which Grunty forces the duo to pass through before they choose a prize: a [[Gruntilda Doll]] for third place, a [[Washing Machine]] for second place, or [[Tooty]] as the "Star Prize".
 
The quiz is laid out as a tiled board, with each panel representing a different question or challenge. Answering a question correctly or completing a challenge allows Banjo and Kazooie to progress to the next tile. If they fail, Banjo and Kazooie lose one [[Honeycomb]] and will not proceed to the next square. If the player loses a life, they must restart the quiz from the beginning. Invisible walls prevent the duo from falling into the lava by accident, although they can still fall off from other parts of the cavern. Most abilities aside from the basic jump are disabled as long as the player remains on the board, even after the minigame is cleared.
 
When the quiz is completed, Grunty expresses disbelief and anger at the duo's victory, and runs off to the top of the tower. Banjo and Kazooie save Tooty, and as the three of them decide to leave Grunty's lair, the credits plays. When the staff roll ends, Banjo and his friends are seen enjoying a celebratory barbecue, until Tooty reminds them that Grunty escaped and still needs to be defeated, to the others' comical shock. Banjo and Kazooie run back to Grunty's lair, and the game resumes from the end of Grunty's Furnace Fun.
 
After the quiz is completed, it can no longer be played again on the same save file. A yellow [[Magic Cauldron]] behind the warp pad at the start of the minigame can take Banjo to the upper levels of the lair after the other yellow cauldron is activated.

===[[Extra Life|Extra Lives]]===
*There are a total of four extra lives on the board. Once [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] have completed Grunty's Furnace Fun, they can easily collect them to aid in the final battle.
===Joker Cards===
*When collected, Joker Cards allowed you to skip any question/challenge by pressing {{button|N64|B}}.
==Furnace Fun Skip==
By making use of a clever trick involving Sudden Death squares, the player is able to completely walk over the later half of the board and completely skip Furnace Fun, essentially ignoring a long credits sequence. The set-up for this glitch involves purposely failing a Skull Square's question, but instead of getting launched into the lava and dying, the player lands back onto the board unharmed, letting the player walk over every subsequent square without having to answer any questions or complete any Time Challenges. The player must stand on one of the two death squares and perform the following:
On the first death square of a row of three near the end, line up Banjo's right foot with the skull icon's left eye. As soon as you do it, enter first person mode and line up the bottom of Kazooie's beak (image next to life and energy count) with the intersecting corners of the previous squares. Once done, press A to try the question. Get the question wrong on purpose. The square will launch you off, but you will not land in the lava if the trick was set-up correctly. You can now freely walk over every square on the board without having to answer any questions. There are no repercussions to this trick, and the game will proceed as normal.
An alternative method is going to the most top-right spot possible in the death square adjacent to a Music square and a Grunty square at roughly the far left of the board. Face the direction of the top-right corner and press A to try the question. If you did the set-up correctly, the trick should occur as normal.

*The music that plays on a skull space sounds oddly similar to part of the music that plays in Rusty Bucket Bay.
*The Joker card panel's fanfare was reused for Lanky Kong's highlight theme in the Tag Barrel in ''Donkey Kong 64''.
*The music that plays on a skull space also sounds familiar, it is a haunting, sped up version of the starting tune of the original Donkey Kong arcade game. It also sounds like the first few notes of the Creepy Castle level from Donkey Kong 64.
*The possibility of getting a question wrong on the Grunty Panel and being thrown into the lava was vaguely alluded to by Brentilda, who stated that knowing facts about Grunty would help the duo avoid a "fiery fate".
*The Joker card panel's fanfare was reused for Lanky Kong's highlight theme in the Tag Barrel in Donkey Kong 64.
*Some of the incorrect answers reference various other characters:
*The possibility of getting a question wrong on the Grunty Panel and being thrown into the lava was vaguely foretold by Brentilda the first time Banjo and Kazooie meet her. As she stated that knowing facts about Grunty would help the duo avoid a "fiery fate".
** [[Captain Blackeye]], who was intended to be the main villain in [[Dream: Land of Giants]], the game that would eventually become ''Banjo-Kazooie''.
*Unlike most of the other questions, the Grunty Panel's answers change per playthrough.
** [[Humba Wumba]] the Shaman, who would later debut in ''Banjo-Tooie''.
*For one of the questions, the anwser was '[[mariowiki:Cranky Kong|Cranky Kong]]' from the donkey kong series. Strangely enough, This wasn't removed in the Xbox Live Arcade remake.
** [[mariowiki:Cranky Kong|Cranky Kong]] and "Funky the monkey" ([[mariowiki:Funky Kong|Funky Kong]]), who are characters from the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games.
**Another answer you can pick is "Funky the monkey". this is a clever reference to another character from the Donkey kong series, specifically [[mariowiki:Funky Kong|Funky Kong]].
** [[conkerwiki:Conker the Squirrel|Conker the Squirrel]], who previously appeared alongside Banjo in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', and would later star in his own games ''Conker's Pocket Tales'' and ''Conker's Bad Fur Day''.
*It is impossible to do anything on the squares other than moving from one to another, but this can be bypassed by enabling a Gameshark cheat that will allow them to fly in any place.
*By making use of a trick involving Sudden Death squares, the player is able to walk over the later half of the board and skip the entire minigame.
*When completing a square correctly, the audience will humourously boo at Banjo and Kazooie.
*Pre-final boss quiz shows would later return in Banjo-Tooie in the form of 'Tower of Tragedy' and in Yooka-Laylee (as the third stretch goal of the kickstarter).
*The background music during the quiz plays a remix of the Banjo-Kazooie theme. This is carried on to the Tower of Tragedy quiz in Banjo-Tooie albeit a different remix.

Grunty's Furnace Fun is a minigame in Banjo-Kazooie, taking the form of a quiz show hosted by Gruntilda.

The entrance to Grunty's Furnace Fun is hidden behind a Note Door that requires 765 Notes to open. Behind the door is a small corridor leading to a room with a warp pad showing Tooty's face on it; stepping on the pad warps Banjo and Kazooie to a fiery cavern, where the minigame starts.

Overview

Grunty's Furnace Fun takes the form of a quiz show, which Grunty forces the duo to pass through before they choose a prize: a Gruntilda Doll for third place, a Washing Machine for second place, or Tooty as the "Star Prize".

The quiz is laid out as a tiled board, with each panel representing a different question or challenge. Answering a question correctly or completing a challenge allows Banjo and Kazooie to progress to the next tile. If they fail, Banjo and Kazooie lose one Honeycomb and will not proceed to the next square. If the player loses a life, they must restart the quiz from the beginning. Invisible walls prevent the duo from falling into the lava by accident, although they can still fall off from other parts of the cavern. Most abilities aside from the basic jump are disabled as long as the player remains on the board, even after the minigame is cleared.

When the quiz is completed, Grunty expresses disbelief and anger at the duo's victory, and runs off to the top of the tower. Banjo and Kazooie save Tooty, and as the three of them decide to leave Grunty's lair, the credits plays. When the staff roll ends, Banjo and his friends are seen enjoying a celebratory barbecue, until Tooty reminds them that Grunty escaped and still needs to be defeated, to the others' comical shock. Banjo and Kazooie run back to Grunty's lair, and the game resumes from the end of Grunty's Furnace Fun.

After the quiz is completed, it can no longer be played again on the same save file. A yellow Magic Cauldron behind the warp pad at the start of the minigame can take Banjo to the upper levels of the lair after the other yellow cauldron is activated.
