Madame Grunty's Tent is a location in Banjo-Tooie.
Features and overview[edit]
Madame Grunty's Tent is an attraction of Witchyworld, located in one of the corners that circle the Big Top. It is a red tent with a pattern of yellow moons and stars, and is run by Gruntilda (who calls herself "Madame Grunty"). Outside of Madame Grunty's Tent is a signpost that welcomes visitors, although is contractually obliged to warn that they may dislike their fortune. The interior of the tent is never shown.
Banjo can enter here alone or with Kazooie to view his fortune, which is decided at random. One fortune has Grunty rewarding a random type of either Feathers or Eggs to the duo. Another fortune refills one Honeycomb unit, while another involves Grunty beating the duo for a few seconds before throwing them out of the tent, causing them to lose a Honeycomb unit. Grunty rarely provides the fortune where she shares the "GETJIGGY" cheat, presumably because of the advantage it gives Banjo and Kazooie in their adventure. After providing the cheat, Grunty demands Banjo and Kazooie to leave, which suggests that Grunty shared the cheat reluctantly.
After Banjo receives his fortune, Grunty may randomly close her tent, saying that she needs to refurbish. After a few minutes, if Banjo and Kazooie are still in Witchyworld, Grunty notifies the duo that she has reopened her tent. Grunty will not give out a fortune if Kazooie enters alone, the duo enter as the Van, or Mumbo Jumbo enters, and she will tell them to leave, possibly closing for refurbishment afterwards.
In Banjo-Pilot, Madame Grunty's Tent appears in the background of the Witchyworld course.
