'''Glitter Gulch Mine''' is the second world in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. Entered through an old mine shaft in the [[Plateau]], it is a large underground cavern filled with mountains of colorful, glittering gems and wondrous rock formations known as glitter. The cavern was turned into an ore mine and filled with an intricate system of mine tracks. The mine was long since abandoned though, leaving behind only [[Canary Mary]], [[Bullion Bill]], and many [[Billy Bob]]s. | '''Glitter Gulch Mine''' is the second world in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''.

Down even deeper, beneath the actual mines, is a complex network of tunnels known as the [[Ordnance Storage Challenge|Ordinance Storage]]. Small, dingy, wooden shacks (such as the [[Power Hut]], [[Crushing Shed]], and [[Prospector's Hut]]) are littered all throughout the mine. Parts of the mine (especially underground) are very dark and require the use of generators to power up the lights | Down even deeper, beneath the actual mines, is a complex network of tunnels known as the [[Ordnance Storage Challenge|Ordinance Storage]].

Other notable landmarks include the [[Gloomy Caverns]], fungi-ridden caverns with small prison cells, and Bullion Bill's shack. Streams of water constantly flow through the mines, and most likely come from the [[Waterfall Cavern]]. | Other notable landmarks include the [[Gloomy Caverns]], fungi-ridden caverns with small prison cells, and Bullion Bill's shack.

A part of Glitter Gulch Mine, specifically the pile of crystals near the beginning, makes an appearance in [[Banjoland]] of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. They are under a glass case, and various mine cart rails are held up by poles, the top pole in the center being especially unstable. According to the description, the game was originally planned for ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. | A part of Glitter Gulch Mine, specifically the pile of crystals near the beginning, makes an appearance in [[Banjoland]] of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''.

*A "gulch" is a "V" shaped valley formed by erosion, typically formed by a river. The river at the bottom of the mine clearly is unlike real-life gulches, prompting where the gulch in Glitter Gulch Mine is. | *A "gulch" is a "V" shaped valley formed by erosion, typically formed by a river.

* | *Glitter Gulch Mine was originally to be included as a world in ''Banjo-Kazooie''. Its design sheet was dated July 29, 1997, and it was known as simply "'''Mine'''". The piles of gems were originally coal, Mumbo's Skull was in place of Wumba's Wigwam was going to be, and there was a whack-a-mole-based minigame within the big waterfall cavern where one path leads [[Hailfire Peaks]]'s ice side. | ||
