'''''Banjo-Tooie''''' is the second game (third in time line) in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]] and is the sequel to ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'' (in time line). Development for the game started even before the original ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' was released. The game was developed by [[Rareware]] and released for the [[Nintendo 64]] on November 19, 2000 on Japan, and in USA in April 12, 2001 , and celebrated its 10th Anniversary on November 19, 2010.
'''''Banjo-Tooie''''', formerly '''''Banjo-Kazooie 2''''', is the second game in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]] and the direct sequel to ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. Like the previous game, ''Banjo-Tooie'' was developed by [[Rare, Ltd.|Rareware]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. It was released for the [[Nintendo 64]] in late 2000, or 2001 in Europe. It was ported to the [[Banjo-Tooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade]] in 2009. "Tooie" is a portmanteau of Kazooie and "two", owing to it being the second ''Banjo-Kazooie'' title.


''Banjo-Tooie'' takes place two years after [[Gruntilda]] was defeated by [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] in the first game. In this game, Banjo and Kazooie have to stop Gruntilda's sisters, [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]], from restoring Gruntilda's body to its original form. This game was written with a noticeably more cynical tone than the first, and introduced some darker elements to the series, such as the death of [[Bottles]].
''Banjo-Tooie'' takes place after the events of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', chronologically placing it as the third title of the series. ''Banjo-Tooie'' also takes place two years after the events of ''Banjo-Kazooie''. In it, [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]] free [[Gruntilda]] from the boulder she was trapped under, and they then attempt to help Grunty recover from her skeletal appearance with their [[Big-O-Blaster]] invention, which sucks the life from characters and objects in the [[Isle o' Hags]]. Banjo and Kazooie go on an adventure to stop Grunty and her sisters. ''Banjo-Tooie'' has a more cynical tone than its predecessor and introduced darker elements to the series, such [[Bottles]]'s death.

4J Studios, the developer that worked on the [[Xbox Live Arcade]] version of the original N64 ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' game, was commissioned by Rare for the new version of ''Banjo-Tooie''.
