'''Glitter Gulch Mine''' is the second world in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. This old mine shaft is owned by the Winkybunion sisters located in the [[Plateau]], inside is a large underground cavern filled with mountains of colorful, glittering gems and wondrous rock formations known as glitter.<ref>''Banjo Tooie'' instruction booklet, Nintendo, 2000, p. 23 - "'''''GLITTER GULCH MINE''': In the dank, dingy depths of the hags' gem mine you'll find a surprisingly friendly welcome from a lonely old prospector and a mad caged bird. But as you negotiate the meandering underground river, funble in pitch black caverns, and blast your way into claustrophibic tunnels, the local shovels, maverick boxex of TNT, and deranged hillbilies will take none too kindly to your intrusion. Along with rickety handcarts and a homesick flying saucer, yoy'll find Chuffy the train, who may need a little help before he can resume his unique service.''"</ref> 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 of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. It is a gem mine owned by [[Mingella]] and [[Blobbelda]],<ref>''Banjo-Tooie'' instruction booklet, page 27</ref> being located in the [[Plateau]] of the [[Isle o' Hags]]. The mine contains many gemstones, as well as dark caverns, tunnels and bodies of water.


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.
==Sub-areas==
 
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]].

*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.

*Bullion Bill states that ."..TNT sticks are threatening my mine..." implying that Bill owns Glitter Gulch Mine.
*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.
