'''Click Clock Wood''' is the ninth and final world of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. It is a deciduous forest revolving around the [[Click Clock Wood Tree]] in the center of the level. The world is divided into four different seasons, in which various actions can alter how the world will turn out in the later seasons.
'''Click Clock Wood''' is the ninth world of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. It is a forest revolving around the [[Click Clock Wood Tree]] in the center of the level. The world's central mechanic is its four different seasons, which alter part of the layout, characters and collectibles.


Officially, to enter Click Clock Wood, Banjo and Kazooie must have 69 Jiggies, 15 of which are needed for the level's own jigsaw puzzle. While the puzzle can be found very early in the game, in the same room that [[Treasure Trove Cove]] is entered from, there's initially no pad for Banjo and Kazooie to use, barring use of one of [[Cheat code#"Illegal" cheats|the "forbidden" cheats]]. The legitimate way to make the pad appear is to Beak Bust a switch near the level entrance. There's an orange [[Warp Cauldron]] that happens to connect to the Treasure Trove Cove area to make accessing the jigsaw puzzle easier.

Another notable feature of this world is the fact that, while a Mumbo Skull exists in every season, Mumbo will only transform Banjo in the spring. In the summer, he's "too hot", in the fall, he's "too busy raking leaves", and he's "on vacation" in the wintertime, with a [[Beehive]] standing in for him.
