However, two years later the witch returned in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' when she was set free by her sisters and she destroyed Banjo's House, killing Bottles. Banjo sets out with Kazooie once more to stop the witch and her two sisters from zapping the whole island of its life-force to give Gruntilda a new body and hopefully finding a way of reviving Bottles as well as the now undead Jinjo king. '''Using Bottles' brother [[Jamjars]] as a teacher, Banjo learned how to operate with an empty backpack and use Kazooie as a handgun''' - which was the definitive moment in stopping Grunty for the third time. | ||

==Broomstick== | |||
;History (''Banjo-Kazooie'') | |||
Gruntida's Broomstick only has one simple task; to carry Grunty's considerably heavy weight from place to place.[...]Then we will meet the broom again in the final battle to serve Gruntilda by swooping down to attack [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. humorously, when the Broomstick stops, it begins smoking and sputtering, forcing Gruntilda to begin smacking it like a disabled car to restart it (which is the duo's chance to attack). | |||

==[[Chilly Willy]]== | |||
;Trivia | |||
*Chilly Willy's color scheme is very similar that that of Perfect Chaos from Sonic Adventure. Seeing as Sonic Adventure was made before Banjo-Tooie, this may be a reason. Other similarities include a long neck-like structure, blue skin and green eyes. The only difference is that Chilly Willy is attributed with Ice and Perfect Chaos with water. | |||

==[[Gruntilda]]== | |||
;Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts | |||
*She makes her way back to [[Spiral Mountain]], even though she is still a skull '''(probably why it took her eight years to get there)'''. [...] A fat [[Banjo]] and bodiless Grunty start to collect the thousands of badges L.O.G. put in front of them, but soon grows '''impatient of a skull and a fat bear with a fat bird in his backpack running around'''. | |||
;Powers and abilities | |||
She was also shown to have a knack for surviving situations that would have killed an ordinary person, including falling from a great height and being crushed by a boulder (which she not only survived, but she even attempted to lift the rock off her), her flesh being eaten away for two years, and even having virtually her entire body save for her head completely obliterated. | |||
;Trivia | |||
*Oddly enough, when fighting Banjo and Kazooie in [[Banjo-Tooie]], she still speaks normally '''despite the fact that her sisters' death no longer had her obligated to stop speaking in rhyme'''. She does, however, return to her trademark rhyming dialogue in ''Nuts and Bolts''. | |||
*During one of her taunts throughout her lair in the first game, she says "When I'm nice and slim once more, burgers, fries, and chips galore!". In actuality, under british terms, fries and chips are actually the same thing (Chips being the british equivalent of fries), with potato chips in Britain actually being Potato Crisps, so her line should be "When I'm nice and slim once more, burgers, chips, and crisps galore!", as [[Rare]] is a British company. | |||
==[[Jamjars]]== | |||
Like his brother, Jamjars doesn't think too kindly of Banjo's smart-aleck sidekick, Kazooie, but tolerates her enough to teach the pair some of the game's most important moves, possibly because of Kazooie's enthusiasm to beat the living (or in this case, undead) daylight out of Grunty. | |||

==[[L.O.G.]]== | |||
;Trivia | |||
*L.O.G. bears a strong physical resemblance to the Krazoa God in ''Star Fox Adventures'', particularly his incarnation at Moon Mountain Pass, via the long flowing robe, tall appearance, and to a lesser extent head. As both ''Nuts and Bolts'' and ''Star Fox Adventures'' were created at least in part by Rare, the similarity may have been deliberate. | |||
==[[Leaky]]== | |||
;Trivia | |||
*This character is one of the most unrecognized minor characters in the game. However, for some players, he is one of the most useful because he allows [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] to access the cheat room in the Treasure Trove Cove Sandcastle. | |||

;Trivia | |||
*It seems strange Mrs. Bottles left her husband due to events that were not Bottles' fault at all. In Banjo-Tooie, there aren't any hints of Mrs. Bottles being traumatized due to the death and resurrection. | |||
==[[Mumbo Jumbo]]== | |||
;Career | |||
Mumbo's past is largely a mystery, although he repeatedly states he was the best student at the Handsome Shaman Institute. What is known is that he was a magical instructor of [[Gruntilda]]'s at some point in time. However, despite Mumbo's teachings, Grunty turned to dark magic and transformed Mumbo's head into a skull. | |||
Mumbo first appears in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' as the "best shaman in all game". Found in multiple worlds starting in [[Mumbo's Mountain]], the skull-faced one transformed [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] into native animals (and a plant) in return for [[Mumbo Token]]s, as Mumbo wanted to help the bear and bird beat Grunty to get his face back. Despite Grunty being buried under a large boulder, Mumbo's face remained intact. Mumbo remained a friend of Banjo, while he and Kazooie got into dust-ups. | |||
[[Banjo-Tooie|In 2000]], Mumbo was just about to get all of Banjo's cash in a poker game when [[Banjo's House]] started shaking. Being brave, the shaman ran outside to find out what was going on. He found that Grunty had been revived by her two sisters and ran to tell, but Grunty spotted him and destroyed the house and killed Bottles. On the following adventure, Mumbo did some adventuring himself, helping the bear and bird get around by magically altering the environment (such as re-railing a derailed train and making the water in [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] breathable). However, Mumbo earned a competitor in the transformation business, Humba Wumba. The two hated each other, each convinced that they were better than the other. In the end, Grunty was beaten once more, but '''Mumbo's skull face still didn't revert'''. | |||
;Relationships | |||
;;Gruntilda | |||
In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', if the player loses their last life or simply quits the game before saving Tooty and the ending is shown wherein Gruntilda makes herself beautiful by uglifying Banjo's sister, Mumbo—apparently smitten with Grunty's new appearance—will suddenly appear and offer her a flower! '''This indicates that he has a weakness for a beautiful face—even when he knows full well that it's only skin deep...''' Mumbo also asks Grunty to come back to Mumbo's skull hut with him. | |||
;Trivia | ;Trivia | ||
* | *In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', if you wait long enough, Mumbo will take his eyeballs and juggle them, which '''of course he has a talent for juggling eyeballs'''. | ||
*Mumbo is also speculated to be a [[Grublin]], primarily due to the beta version of the Grublins being blue with feathered skull masks similar to Mumbo's skull head. Other similarities in the final product (such as the build, grass skirt, and red feathers on the head) also help support this. | |||
*Mumbo must have a weak spot for beautiful women as seen in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', when he offers a flower to the newly transformed ''Gruntilda. ''Also, during the end credits, if you do not have all 100 Jiggies, Mumbo will refuse to show the "secret pictures" and then says that he had to go because he has a "''hot date" ''(referring to the [[Bikini Girl]]). | |||

==[[Scrat]]== | |||
;Trivia | |||
*Scrat shares his name with the acorn-loving Scrat, the saber-toothed squirrel from the ''Ice Age'' movies. | |||
*Despite being a Styracosaurus and thus herbivorous, Scrat seems to have a taste for meat and has even said to have eaten a caveman. Interestingly, some scientists now think that Triceratops, Styracosaurus, and other ceratopsians might have been omnivorous. | |||
==[[Snacker]]== | |||
The Snacker in Treasure Trove Cove talks constantly about Banjo being his next meal, which itself can be more of an incentive to stay on land than the actual threat of being bitten. | |||
==[[Soggy]]== | |||
;Games (''Banjo-Tooie'') | |||
If Banjo and Kazooie talk to Soggy in Boggy's Igloo, she says she hopes Moggy will get in trouble for jumping on her mother's bed, indicating she is '''somewhat of a malicious tattletale'''. | |||
