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.
==Location and rules==
Grunty's Furnace Fun is a quiz show hosted by [[Gruntilda]]. 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.


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.

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.
