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. | 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.

The two continue progressing through the lair, gathering musical notes, Jiggies, and other collectibles along the way, as well as rescuing the Jinjos of each world. 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. | The two continue progressing through the lair, gathering musical notes, Jiggies, and other collectibles along the way, as well as rescuing the Jinjos of each world.

*[[Banjo]] - A good hearted, well mannered and sweet natured honey-bear. He's always seen wearing bright yellow shorts and a blue packpack for carrying Kazooie around. As seen in the opening scene, he's an experienced banjo player, he cares a lot for his best friend and those in need and sometimes shares a bond or two with his little sister, Tooty. Unlike his sister, Banjo's not really into adventuring. Banjo first appeared in [[Diddy Kong Racing]]. | |||
*[[Banjo]] | *[[Kazooie]] - A sassy, foulmouthed, wise-cracking red-crested Breegull and Banjo's best friend. She loves to insult people out of the blue which causes conflicts and fights, Kazooie loves to explore and go adventuring. She also plays a namesake instrument; in this case: the kazoo. | ||

*[[Gruntilda Winkybunion]] - The main antagonist, Gruntilda or Grunty for short is an evil and stereotypical Witch who sets out to capture Banjo's sister to steal her beauty.
