'''Tooty''' is [[Banjo]]'s adorable and very beautiful little sister. She is a brown honey bear with blue eyes and blond hair tied up in pigtails, and she wears a red shirt with a star on it and a pair of purple stirrup pants. Her favorite instrument is the [[wikipedia:Piccolo|piccolo]]. So far, she has only played a major role in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', making no other appearances save for minor cameos in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''.
{{Quote|What's the party for? [[Gruntilda|Grunty]] got away, so get back up there and finish the job!|Tooty|[[Banjo-Kazooie]]}}
'''Tooty''' is a character in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.


In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Tooty lived in a [[Banjo's House|house]] on [[Spiral Mountain]] with her lazy brother Banjo. Unfortunately, she became the target of the evil witch [[Gruntilda]], who kidnapped her because she was jealous of Tooty's adorable cuteness. [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] set out on an adventure to rescue Tooty before Grunty could succeed in stealing away her beauty for good. If the player gets a game over, It is shown that Gruntilda would have succeeded in stealing her beauty, turning her an ugly and fat green bear. She was later rescued once Banjo and Kazooie won [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]] mini-game.
==Physical traits==
{{quote|Why, it's Tooty, young and small, she's the prettiest girl of all!|[[Dingpot]]|[[Banjo-Kazooie]]}}
Described as "the prettiest girl of all" by Dingpot, Tooty wears a red sleeveless shirt with a yellow star printed on the front and purple pants. Her blonde hair is tied up in pigtails which are held together by purple elastics. In the [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade]] version, the star on Tooty's shirt appears to be cut in half.
 
During the game over sequence of ''Banjo-Kazooie'' where Gruntilda takes away Tooty's beauty, she becomes a large, green monster with sharp teeth, red eyes, large, long arms and short legs, although the hair and pigtails stay the same as before. Due to her becoming bigger than normal, her clothes get stretched, exposing her stomach.


==Personality==
==Personality==
Not much is known about Tooty, but she seems to be a very outgoing character, she loves adventuring as much as Kazooie does and she really looks up to her big brother Banjo, although sometimes Tooty will wander off outside to enjoy the sun whilst [[Banjo|her lazy brother]] sleeps.
{{quote|Unfortunately I think you'll find, it's Tooty, she's cute and kind!|[[Dingpot]]|[[Banjo-Kazooie]]}}
Tooty is a kind girl who likes to go on adventures with her older brother, Banjo. Unlike her brother, she likes to wander off outside instead of sleeping. She appears to be easily scared as shown in the start of ''Banjo-Kazooie'', freezing in place and Gruntilda comes in her broomstick to kidnap her. Tooty is shown to like music, playing her silver flute both in the introduction cutscene of the game and when Gruntilda is looking at her through Dingpot.
 
==Biography==
Tooty is the younger sister of [[Banjo]] and a happy, outgoing Honey Bear who loves adventuring.
 
===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
[[File:Tooty BK.png|thumb|left|Tooty playing the flute in the opening for ''Banjo-Kazooie'']]
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', her debut appearance, Tooty has the role of damsel-in-distress. Her first in-game appearance is during the opening, where she plays her flute.
 
The game starts with [[Gruntilda]] asking who is the prettiest girl of all, to which [[Dingpot]] replies that it is Tooty. Enraged, Gruntilda sets off to go kidnap her. Meanwhile, Tooty happily runs up to a [[molehill]] in front of [[Banjo's House]] in [[Spiral Mountain]], which [[Bottles]] emerges from. She asks if he has seen Banjo because she wants to go on an adventure with him. Bottles points to someone in the sky, asking if that is her brother. The character is actually Gruntilda on her [[broomstick]]; she swoops down to kidnap Tooty and returns to her [[Gruntilda's Lair|lair]]. [[Kazooie]] hears the commotion and urges Banjo to wake up, thus starting their adventure to rescue Tooty.
 
When Banjo and Kazooie enter Gruntilda's Lair, a cutscene plays, showing Tooty trembling inside a pod of the [[Beauty Steal Machine]], which has a self-explanatory purpose in which Gruntilda tries to transfer Tooty's beauty to herself. Tooty screams for Banjo's help as Grunty closes the pod with Tooty in it.
 
At the end of Gruntilda's Lair, Banjo and Kazooie are forced into competing in a game show, [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]]. Tooty is the first prize of the show. When Banjo and Kazooie reach the end of the board, Grunty allows Tooty to leave with them, while she escapes to the [[Winkybunion Tower|tower]]. At a celebratory barbecue outside Banjo's House, Tooty reminds Banjo and Kazooie that they must still return to Gruntilda's Lair to defeat Grunty entirely.
 
Tooty is last seen during the ending, in which she is sitting on the beach, eating a watermelon, while Banjo and Kazooie are relaxing.
 
Additionally, a picture of her can be seen inside Banjo's House.

[[File:Tooty B-T cameo.jpg|thumb|200px|Tooty's appearance on a milk carton in ''Banjo-Tooie''.]]
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', the picture of Tooty can be seen again inside the remains of Banjo's House, after the place is destroyed by Gruntilda's spell. Tooty also appears as a missing person on the poster of a milk carton inside [[Guffo]]'s [[Rubbish Bin]] in [[Cloud Cuckooland]].
 
Since this appearance, Tooty has only made cameo appearances in the other games.


When Tooty spots [[Gruntilda]] on her broomstick headed straight for her, she trembles on the spot instead of running for her house, indicating that she's not very brave. It could run in the family since Banjo himself isn't so brave. Tooty may not be very smart but she knows when duty calls, when Banjo and his friends were celebrating outside, Tooty had to alert them that Grunty DID indeed get away and demanding them to "finish the job".
===''Nuts & Bolts''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', the picture of Tooty can be seen once again inside Banjo's House, much like in the previous games. In [[Showdown Town]] there is a shop named "Tooty Fruity - Fruit Shop." In one part of the game, [[Lord of Games|L.O.G.]] mentions that he discarded a game world called "Tootyland." A team called "Tooty Angels" is mentioned in the [[Jiggosseum]]'s scoreboard, where it is stated in the "Baseball" category that they scored 7 points and won against "[[Pikelet]] Brown Sox," who only scored 3 points. Lastly, Tooty's name is in some of the [[List of questions from The Six of the Best|trivia questions]] at the end.


Tooty doesn't just love adventuring, she's also shown to be an experienced piccolo player, making her have a talent, little is known how she learned, like her brother, Banjo, it could well run in the family that music is their gift.
==Other appearances==
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' Tooty appears as a [[smashwiki:spirit|spirit]]. She also makes a cameo in the background of the Spiral Mountain stage, making it her first physical appearance since her debut in ''Banjo-Kazooie''.  


In the game over segment, after Tooty becomes an ugly and fat green bear, her voice turns into a raspy growl and she becomes understandably angry at Banjo for failing to save her from becoming a monster.

In ''[[Project Dream]]'', Tooty was originally intended to be named "Piccolo" and was going to be Banjo's girlfriend. In the final battle with Grunty, Grunty fires a spell at Banjo as she falls off the top of the [[Gruntilda's Lair|lair]] but the spell misses. That spell was meant to hit Banjo and turn him into a frog. Most likely, Tooty would have to carry Banjo to [[Mumbo Jumbo]] to change him back. Madeleine's theme from ''Project Dream'' was reused as Tooty's theme as heard in the beginning of ''Banjo-Kazooie''. It can be noted that the theme was changed from using an orchestra for Madeleine, to a flute for Tooty to match her name and the instrument she plays.

*Tooty was originally named "Piccolo," due to her playing a piccolo and Banjo and Kazooie also being named after instruments.
*The only cameos that Tooty has in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'' is of a sign in [[Showdown Town]] that reads "Tooty Fruity Fruit Shop", a picture of her in Banjo's House, and on the menu screen.

“What's the party for? Grunty got away, so get back up there and finish the job!”
Tooty, Banjo-Kazooie

Tooty is a character in Banjo-Kazooie.

Physical traits[edit]

“Why, it's Tooty, young and small, she's the prettiest girl of all!”
Dingpot, Banjo-Kazooie

Described as "the prettiest girl of all" by Dingpot, Tooty wears a red sleeveless shirt with a yellow star printed on the front and purple pants. Her blonde hair is tied up in pigtails which are held together by purple elastics. In the Xbox Live Arcade version, the star on Tooty's shirt appears to be cut in half.

During the game over sequence of Banjo-Kazooie where Gruntilda takes away Tooty's beauty, she becomes a large, green monster with sharp teeth, red eyes, large, long arms and short legs, although the hair and pigtails stay the same as before. Due to her becoming bigger than normal, her clothes get stretched, exposing her stomach.

Personality[edit]

“Unfortunately I think you'll find, it's Tooty, she's cute and kind!”
Dingpot, Banjo-Kazooie

Tooty is a kind girl who likes to go on adventures with her older brother, Banjo. Unlike her brother, she likes to wander off outside instead of sleeping. She appears to be easily scared as shown in the start of Banjo-Kazooie, freezing in place and Gruntilda comes in her broomstick to kidnap her. Tooty is shown to like music, playing her silver flute both in the introduction cutscene of the game and when Gruntilda is looking at her through Dingpot.

Biography[edit]

Tooty is the younger sister of Banjo and a happy, outgoing Honey Bear who loves adventuring.

Banjo-Kazooie[edit]

Tooty playing the flute in the opening for Banjo-Kazooie

In Banjo-Kazooie, her debut appearance, Tooty has the role of damsel-in-distress. Her first in-game appearance is during the opening, where she plays her flute.

The game starts with Gruntilda asking who is the prettiest girl of all, to which Dingpot replies that it is Tooty. Enraged, Gruntilda sets off to go kidnap her. Meanwhile, Tooty happily runs up to a molehill in front of Banjo's House in Spiral Mountain, which Bottles emerges from. She asks if he has seen Banjo because she wants to go on an adventure with him. Bottles points to someone in the sky, asking if that is her brother. The character is actually Gruntilda on her broomstick; she swoops down to kidnap Tooty and returns to her lair. Kazooie hears the commotion and urges Banjo to wake up, thus starting their adventure to rescue Tooty.

When Banjo and Kazooie enter Gruntilda's Lair, a cutscene plays, showing Tooty trembling inside a pod of the Beauty Steal Machine, which has a self-explanatory purpose in which Gruntilda tries to transfer Tooty's beauty to herself. Tooty screams for Banjo's help as Grunty closes the pod with Tooty in it.

At the end of Gruntilda's Lair, Banjo and Kazooie are forced into competing in a game show, Grunty's Furnace Fun. Tooty is the first prize of the show. When Banjo and Kazooie reach the end of the board, Grunty allows Tooty to leave with them, while she escapes to the tower. At a celebratory barbecue outside Banjo's House, Tooty reminds Banjo and Kazooie that they must still return to Gruntilda's Lair to defeat Grunty entirely.

Tooty is last seen during the ending, in which she is sitting on the beach, eating a watermelon, while Banjo and Kazooie are relaxing.

Additionally, a picture of her can be seen inside Banjo's House.

Banjo-Tooie[edit]

Tooty's appearance on a milk carton in Banjo-Tooie.

In Banjo-Tooie, the picture of Tooty can be seen again inside the remains of Banjo's House, after the place is destroyed by Gruntilda's spell. Tooty also appears as a missing person on the poster of a milk carton inside Guffo's Rubbish Bin in Cloud Cuckooland.

Since this appearance, Tooty has only made cameo appearances in the other games.

Nuts & Bolts[edit]

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, the picture of Tooty can be seen once again inside Banjo's House, much like in the previous games. In Showdown Town there is a shop named "Tooty Fruity - Fruit Shop." In one part of the game, L.O.G. mentions that he discarded a game world called "Tootyland." A team called "Tooty Angels" is mentioned in the Jiggosseum's scoreboard, where it is stated in the "Baseball" category that they scored 7 points and won against "Pikelet Brown Sox," who only scored 3 points. Lastly, Tooty's name is in some of the trivia questions at the end.

Other appearances[edit]

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Tooty appears as a spirit. She also makes a cameo in the background of the Spiral Mountain stage, making it her first physical appearance since her debut in Banjo-Kazooie.
