'''Spiral Mountain''' is a recurring location in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].
'''Spiral Mountain''' is a signature location of the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]], having appeared in every game. The location is named after its main landmark of a large spiraling hill located in the center. Spiral Mountain is also where [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] live, as well as Banjo's pet goldfish [[Roysten]].


==Features and overview==
Spiral Mountain is the starting location in every ''Banjo-Kazooie'' game. It is also a tutorial area, where the player is taught basic controls and moves. Spiral Mountain is a grassy area featuring a vegetable orchard, a quarry, two waterfalls forming a lake (an alcove appears behind one of them), a few tree stumps, and [[Banjo's House]]. There is a moat surrounding the main spiraling hill. There is a rickety, wooden bridge connected on top of the hill, connected to a large stone structure of [[Gruntilda]]'s face. The mouth of the structure leads into [[Gruntilda's Lair]].

===''Banjo-Tooie''===
[[File:B-T Spiral Mountain.png|thumb|200px|Spiral Mountain in ''Banjo-Tooie'', after being damaged by Grunty and her sisters.]]
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Spiral Mountain is heavily damaged by the [[Hag 1]], a machine operated by Grunty's sisters, [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]]. In the opening cutscene, the sisters drill through Spiral Mountain's cliffs, and they lift up the rock that trapped Gruntilda beneath the ground and free Grunty. In an act of vengeance, Gruntilda uses a spell to destroy [[Banjo's House]]. Her sisters release [[Minion]]s and [[Gruntydactyl]]s into the area, instructing them to destroy Spiral Mountain further, and the sisters leave Spiral Mountain. The bridge to Gruntilda's Lair is no longer connected from the spiraling hill, likely because the Hag 1 broke it off. The bridge is hanging out of the mouth of Gruntilda's Lair, somewhat like a tongue. Banjo can use the bridge like a ladder and [[climb]] it to reach the mouth of Gruntilda's Lair.
 
Spiral Mountain is revealed to be near the [[Isle o' Hags]]. Banjo and Kazooie can access the island by going through a path dug by the Hag 1. In the cave, before Banjo and Kazooie can continue to later areas, they must defeat [[Klungo]] in their first boss battle.
 
During Spiral Mountain's destruction, [[Roysten]] became trapped beneath a boulder. Later on, when the duo learn [[Bill Drill]], they can break open the rock and free Roysten. As a reward, Roysten teaches them the [[Fast Swimming]] ability.
 
There are two [[Banjo-Kazooie Game Pak]]s in Spiral Mountain, and by destroying them, Banjo and Kazooie can respectively obtain the blue and the purple [[Mystery Egg]]. Spiral Mountain only has one [[Jinjo]], which is located behind a [[Talon Torpedo Door]].
 
Spiral Mountain's melody is generally the same as in ''Banjo-Kazooie'' except for being in minor key to fit the ruination and melancholic atmosphere of the location.
 
===''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge''===
[[File:Spiral Mountain GR.png|thumb|Banjo exploring Spiral Mountain in the past.]]
In the midquel, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', the game starts in Spiral Mountain, set two months after Grunty was trapped beneath a rock. Klungo designed the [[Mecha-Grunty]] suit as a way to transplant Grunty's spirit, to free her beneath the rock. Mecha-Grunty kidnaps Kazooie and goes back in time, hoping to prevent the duo from meeting. [[Mumbo Jumbo]] uses his magic to also send Banjo back in time.
 
Banjo ends up in a past version of Spiral Mountain, which has an entirely different appearance from the present one. Banjo meets [[Bozzeye]], the ancestor of Bottles; by having at least ten [[Musical Note]]s and visiting the next [[molehill]], Banjo learns [[Pack Whack]], which is the only new move he learns in Spiral Mountain.
 
Spiral Mountain is the hub area and other levels are accessed from it. There are two higher areas of Spiral Mountain which Banjo can explore, in order of Spiral Rise and Spiral Mere. [[Jiggywiggy's Temple]] is located at the southeast of the main Spiral Mountain area. This is where Banjo can open portals to the other levels, if he has enough Jiggies. The entrances to the first two levels, [[Cliff Farm]] and [[Breegull Beach]], are in the lowest area of Spiral Mountain. The later levels are accessed from its two higher locations: [[Bad Magic Bayou]] is accessed from Spiral Rise, and [[Spiller's Harbor]] and [[Freezing Furnace]] from Spiral Mere. The final area, [[Grunty's Castle]], appears at the east of Spiral Rise, and a large rock shaped as [[King Jingaling]]'s head appears below, adjacent to Grunty's Castle.
 
[[Honey B's Hive]] is located in Spiral Rise, where Banjo can exchange his [[Extra Honeycomb Piece|Hollow Honeycomb]]s for additional honeycomb segments to his health bar. The [[Jinjo Oracle]] of Spiral Mountain appears on a ledge to the north of Jiggywiggy's Temple. The five [[Jinjo]]s of Spiral Mountain are purple.
 
There are six enemies in Spiral Mountain and its higher locations, including: [[Beehive]]s, [[Boom Box]]es, [[Gruntling]]s, [[Gruntweed]]s, red [[Spooko]]s, and [[Whiplash]]es. This is the most enemies that Spiral Mountain has of the other ''Banjo-Kazooie'' games.
 
===''Banjo-Pilot''===
In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', the Spiral Mountain track is included as the very first course. It is the first course of the [[Honeycomb Cup]], otherwise the [[Pumpkin Cup]] in [[Grunty GP]]. The theme is entirely different from the usual Spiral Mountain theme, as it was originally composed for some jungle race tracks in the 2003 ''[[mariowiki:Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)|Diddy Kong Pilot]]''.
 
===''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Spiral Mountain is shown to have partially recovered from the damage it took in ''Banjo-Tooie''. Due to landslides, the area is littered with boulders, some of which block entrances to locations in previous games. The bridge to Gruntilda's Lair is missing altogether. The waterfall has receded and no longer flows into the basin around Spiral Mountain, causing it to be overrun by algae and sea grass. [[Banjo's House]] has been poorly renovated and is cluttered with items including Xbox 360's in the interior. (Possibly a joke on how the 360 when heating up can cause it to put, deep red rings on inserted disks.) The fence around the house is damaged in spots and a large garbage bin lays off to the right side filled with wooden pallets, pizza boxes and cases of multiple Rare games including ''Grabbed by the Ghoulies'' and ''Viva Piñata''. Banjo and Kazooie can return to here from [[Showdown Town]] if they have at least 75 [[Jiggy|Jiggies]]. [[Bawl]]s are the only regular enemy in this area. This is the setting of where Banjo and Kazooie engage in a final battle against Gruntilda, and is also where the ending cutscene takes place.
[[Mumbo Jumbo]], [[Bottles]], [[Piddles]], [[Jolly Dodger]], [[Captain Blubber]], [[Trophy Thomas]], [[Humba Wumba]] and the [[Jinjo]]s appear here during the ending. After completion of this world, Banjo will be outfitted with a tuxedo and Kazooie with a bow tie for the remainder of playtime even after turning the game off.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
Spiral Mountain appears as a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In it, many characters such as Mumbo Jumbo, Tooty, Gruntilda in her [[broomstick]], flying Jinjos, Bottles and a [[Buzzbomb]] appear in the background.
