- “Motzand plays his organ with ease, but can you follow him on the keys?”
- —Motzand, Banjo-Kazooie
Motzand is a character in Banjo-Kazooie.
Characteristics[edit]
Motzand is a large, ghostly hand. Unlike other ghosts, Motzand is friendly and, like Gruntilda, only speaks in rhymes.
Biography[edit]
Motzand is found playing a giant pipe organ in the Haunted Church of Mad Monster Mansion. When Banjo and Kazooie enter here and climb onto the organ's music stand, Motzand challenges them to copy the notes of two tunes that he plays on the pipe organ. Banjo and Kazooie can hit the keys by using Beak Buster on each of them. At first, Motzand plays a short tune consisting of a few notes. After the duo copy the first tune, Motzand plays a longer tune that includes more notes. Once Banjo and Kazooie have copied both tunes, Motzand congratulates them and rewards them with a Jiggy. Motzand then floats upward and fades away.
In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Motzand is mentioned by an Infopost in the Mad Monster Mansion exhibit's description, where he is described as "an organ-playing spectral hand."
Name origin[edit]
His name is a portmanteau of a famous composer, Mozart, and "hand."
