The evil witch of [[Spiral Mountain]], Gruntilda, is inside her [[Gruntilda's Lair|lair]], asking her cauldron [[Dingpot]] questions about who is the 'nicest and fairest of them all', to which Dingpot reluctantly answers, "''You are, mistress''". She gloats over her "beauty", until Dingpot finally breaks his 'silence' and tells the witch that Tooty, another inhabitant of Spiral Mountain, is actually the prettiest and the fairest of them all. [[Grunty]] reacts angrily and decides to kidnap Tooty in order to steal her beauty. She grabs her broom and sets off immediately. | |||

She eagerly tells Bottles that she is going on an adventure with her brother, [[Banjo]]. Inside the house, Banjo is sleeping soundly, with his breegull friend, [[Kazooie]], sleeping in his backpack, which is hanging on a nearby coat rack. Tooty and Bottles are still talking, until Bottles spots Grunty in the distance, but confuses her for Banjo (due to his short-sightedness). Grunty immediately goes for Tooty, and a struggle ensues. Kazooie, eager for action and adventure, overhears the clamor outside as well as Bottles' cries for help and tries to wake Banjo up. Banjo and Kazooie leave their house, only to discover that Grunty has gone off and kidnapped Tooty! Bottles tells the bear and bird that they must venture to [[Gruntilda's Lair]] to rescue Tooty. Bottles offers to prepare the duo to fight Gruntilda by teaching them some basic moves and repairing the bridge leading to the lair's entrance. Banjo and Kazooie set off on an adventure into the lair to save Tooty. | ||
Once inside the lair, | Once inside the lair, Banjo and Kazooie find a [[Jiggy]], which is used to open and unlock levels around the lair by completing Jigsaw Puzzle pictures. They soon find a painting that fits their first Jiggy, opening the first level of the lair, [[Mumbo's Mountain]]. Banjo and Kazooie enter the first world and find that their quest is not as easy as they had anticipated. They discover that they need to rescue [[Jinjo]]s imprisoned by Grunty throughout each of the worlds as well as collect [[Musical Notes]], which are needed to open up [[Note Door]]s, to progress through the deeper areas of Gruntilda's Lair. They also meet [[Mumbo Jumbo]], a skull-faced shaman who offers his services to the bear and bird by transforming the adventurers into different animals with new abilities. | ||

They also encounter Mumbo Jumbo and Bottles several times, who continue to help the heroes by transforming them and teaching them new moves, respectively. Banjo and Kazooie also get help from Gruntilda's nicer sister, [[Brentilda]], who gossips interesting facts about her ugly sister. | ||

Thanks to the information provided by Brentilda's gossips, Banjo and Kazooie win Grunty's game and save Tooty. With Tooty rescued, they return home and celebrate with a barbecue. However, Tooty reminds our heroes that Grunty had escaped shortly after the game show and was still at large, plotting her wicked schemes. | ||
Banjo and Kazooie make their way back up the lair until they finally reach the roof with help from Dingpot. On the roof, Gruntilda challenges them to a more direct confrontation and an epic battle ensues.

On the roof, Gruntilda challenges them to a more direct confrontation and an epic battle ensues. But, with the help of the Jinjos they rescued in the various worlds of Gruntilda's Lair, Banjo and Kazooie defeat Gruntilda and ultimately knock her off her tower. She crashes into the ground, creating a crater of her shape, which is then covered by a large boulder that falls from the tower and traps her beneath it. Banjo and Kazooie finally take a well-deserved break at the beach, where the bear and bird and their friends anticipate a sequel, ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. Meanwhile, Gruntilda, whose loyal minion [[Klungo]] is trying to rescue her, swears her revenge. | ||
