===Rooms===
====Engine Room====
[[Image:Rusty Bucket Bay3.png|thumb|The Engine Room|left]]
The [[Engine Room]] is commonly dubbed the hardest area in the Banjo-Kazooie franchise. It is a large room containing Cogs and Gears. The player is required to press a button in an ajoining room to slow the fan blades in order to get a [[Jiggy]]. If the two switches are hit then the propellers will stop for 70 seconds allowing the player to get the Jiggy from behind them, this is dubbed the hardest Jiggy in the game. The threat of falling, constantly moving parts and difficult enemies are what supposedly makes it so hard.
====Anchor Room====
Underneath the ship the player will find a dolphin named [[Snorkel]] trapped under an anchor. The dolphin requests that Banjo releases him by hitting the Anchor Switch. In order for the player to reach the Anchor Switch, He must climb into the hole in which the Anchor is stored, make thier way passed a line of [[Grille Chompa|Grille Chompas]] and hit the switch, thus freeing Snorkel and getting a Jiggy.
====Cargo Hold====
[[Image:Bossboombox.jpg|thumb|Boss Boom Box|right]]
To enter the ship's [[The Hold|Cargo Hold]], the player must release a box of TNT into it by the use of a nearby crane. Once the box has been dropped in, the player may jump into the hold to reveal that the box of TNT was in fact the [[Boss Boom Box]]. The player must defeat the Boss Boom Box in order to receive a Jiggy.
====Other Rooms====
The Rusty Bucket also contains a Captain's Cabin, a Map Room, a Bunk Room, [[The Galley|a Galley]] & a room containing numorous pipes.

A model of the Rusty Bucket appears in Banjoland as an exibit, which rather comically features a message stating that it was too hardcore for today's modern players. The real Rusty Bucket appears in the background when looking out past the docks.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', the Rusty Bucket can be found in Rusty Bucket Bay. Many [[Jiggy|Jiggies]] can be collected through it, such as the one atop the ship's highest point, the one collected by blowing the right whistles in it or many of the ones found within its individual rooms. Various enemies can also be found throughout the ship, such as the [[Grimlet]]s, [[Flotsam]]s, [[Seaman Grublin|Seamen Grublins]], [[Boom Box]]es and [[Grille Chompa]]s.  


==Enemies Found Here==
A [[dolphin]] named [[Snorkel]] can be found trapped under the ship's anchor, and saving him rewards [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] with a [[Jiggy]]. [[Boss Boom Box]] can also be fought inside of the ship's rooms, accessible by dropping a [[wikipedia:TNT|TNT]] box on the it.
