The '''Tower of Tragedy''' is a [[wikipedia:Jeopardy!|Jeopardy]]-style quiz game show hosted by [[Gruntilda]] in [[Banjo-Tooie]] which serves a similar purpose to [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]] from [[Banjo-Kazooie]]. The host asks a question and players race to hit their buzzer first to be able to answer it. Questions all pertain to Banjo-Tooie and range from simple trivia, to matching a world to a certain piece of music, to looking at a picture and identifying certain details, such as how many books are on a bookcase.
The '''Tower of Tragedy Quiz''' is a minigame in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'',


==Location and rules==
After [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] defeat [[Klungo]] for the third and last time in the [[Cauldron Keep]], they enter the mystery door to find themselves as a contestant on the Tower of Tragedy quiz along with Grunty's sisters, [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]]. The game consists of three rounds, and after each of the first two rounds, the player with the fewest points is eliminated by a giant 1-ton weight which dangles precariously over the players' heads. If Banjo and Kazooie make it to the third and final round, they will face the host in a speed round where they race against the clock to earn 15 points within 180 seconds. If they can manage to beat the last round, Gruntilda, flustered by yet another loss, takes Kazooie's advice about "cowardly running away like in the last game" and makes an escape to the top of the tower where she awaits the pair for the final battle with the [[Hag 1]] (and considering how Banjo's weight collapsed just as Banjo and Kazooie were leaving, narrowly missing them, she most likely also tried to crush them while escaping.).  
The Tower of Tragedy Quiz is a game show hosted by [[Gruntilda]] in [[Cauldron Keep]]. It is played after defeating [[Klungo]] for the third time and, much like in [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]] from ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', the witch asks [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] multiple questiond of different categories, and the bear needs to press his buzzer before [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]] (the other two contestants) to answer first and score. Pressing it first and getting the answer right scores 2 points, pressing it after Grunty's sisters got it wrong and getting the answer right scores 1 point, pressing it first and getting the answer wrong loses 2 points and pressing it after Grunty's sisters got it wrong and also getting the answer wrong loses 1 point. At the end of each round, the one with the lowest score gets squished by a 1-ton weight. When only Banjo is left, Gruntilda starts asking various questions for the bear to answer and score at least 15 points within 180 seconds. Once the quiz is completed, she flees to the roof where the [[Hag 1]] is so she can beat the duo with it.


The Tower of Tragedy Quiz also appears as both a single-player and a multiplayer mini-game that can be played as [[Mumbo Jumbo]] (player 1), [[Jamjars]] (player 2), Banjo and Kazooie (player 3) or [[Humba Wumba]] (player 4).
Once the Tower of Tragedy has been beaten, it becomes playable as single-player [[:category:minigames|minigame]] and as a multiplayer game in which Banjo and Kazooie, [[Mumbo Jumbo]], [[Humba Wumba]], and [[Jamjars]] face off to earn the most points within the allotted time. 2-4 players can play, with any remaining player slots being filled by computers. Player 1 plays as Mumbo, player 2 gets Jamjars, player 3 gets Banjo and Kazooie and player 4 gets Wumba.


==Trivia==
==Scoring==
*Devil [[Bottles]]' talking icon can appear to represent some answers despite the fact [[Bottles' Revenge]] was scrapped.
*Buzzing in first with a right answer: 2 points
*A [[Zubba]]'s talking icon with Bottles' voice can appear to represent some answers, which was likely simply a mistake by the developers.
*Buzzing in after a contestant got it wrong and answered it correctly: 1 point
*The [[Beehive]] talking icon is reused from ''Banjo-Kazooie'', even though Beehives don't speak in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''.
*Buzzing in with an incorrect answer: -2 points
*Buzzing in after a contestant got it wrong and answered it incorrectly: -1 point

==Trivia==
*Even though [[Bottles' Revenge]] was a multiplayer idea scrapped from the final product, his talk icon can be seen on one of the answers.
*A [[Zubba]]'s talk icon with [[Bottles]]' voice can be seen for one of the answers.. There could be a possibility that at some point in development, Bottles' ghost was going to take over a Zubba's body, probably during the "Bottles Revenge" mode, but the concept was scrapped. It also might have just been a place holder from development.
