Note Door
Note Doors are an object in Banjo-Kazooie.
Location and uses[edit]
Note Doors are doors with a picture of a Musical Note on them, and they appear throughout Gruntilda's Lair. There are 12 in total, and they were put in place by Gruntilda as an attempt to slow Banjo and Kazooie from progressing through her lair. Each Note Door can only be opened from collecting Musical Notes in the levels, and they each have a set minimum total of Musical Notes. By having enough Musical Notes, Banjo and Kazooie can approach a corresponding Note Door, which permanently vanishes and clears the entrance for the duo.
