Headscratchers / Banjo-Kazooie

Get To

• Why is it that Banjo and Kazooie never question Gruntilda's enormous lair that'southward but about 350 metres from their own business firm until afterwards Tooty is captured?
  • Grunty wasn't bothering them, then they weren't bothering her.
  • It'due south a neighbor thing. It'south bad form to yell at the neighbors for no reason, and they had no idea she was evil until Tooty was kidnapped. Perhaps she but likes huge elaborate evil looking houses. Her prerogative.
• Why do Banjo and Kazooie continue a portrait of Bottles in their house despite having no knowledge of his existence until after Tooty is captured?
  • Tooty lives at that place too.
  • Ah, correct. I thought that in the intro it seemed that Tooty and Bottles had never met before. Re-watching it, I realise that Bottles did in fact say her proper name, meaning they both must know each other. Still, it begs the question: Why does Tooty address Bottles as Mr. Mole, and why didn't Tooty ever mention anything about him?
    • Perhaps they had simply met one other time and barely knew each other. Bottles' terminal name may be Mole.
    • I don't keep huge pictures of acquaintances above MY fireplace.
    • Perchance Tooty was already great friends with Bottles prior to the first game but was simply beingness polite and well-mannered like Banjo, who himself is pretty respectful and nice to others.
    • The manual for the first game confirms that Tooty and Bottles are long-time friends.
• I of Brentilda'due south "Facts" well-nigh Grunty is that she subscribes to "Fat Hag Monthly". If she wants to steal Tooty's youth and beauty so much, why does she subscribe to a magazine with a cocky-derogatory name and subject matter? And how could such a magazine be in the get-go place?
  • As for why information technology exists, it'south probably an independent magazine. Those tin can exist about some odd things that aren't seen in the mainstream. Hence the myriad of say, furry magazines or fat-themed ones. They aren't something yous would come across on a bookshelf of a store, simply they exist. A "Fat Hag Monthly" would be unusual, but not utterly impossible. Alternately, information technology could only accept an odd proper noun that doesn't fully reverberate the contents, or be a magic-themed book that uses the title ironically.
  • Information technology's probably some kind of fetish. She likes fat hags, merely for her to be respected, she herself must become beutiful.
  • Perhaps it covers how to Stop being a fat hag?
  • There is a legitimate weight-loss website called 3 Fat Chicks
  • Grunty admits she's a big fat hog. What she really needs a prissy hot bod(y).
    • That's atrocious.
  • Let's not forget that that'due south one of iii random choices for that fact, so it might non be true.
• What happened to Tooty? She kinda disappeared after Kazooie.
  • She either went missing or got arrested by the 'Rubbish Characters in Video Games' Police.
    • It's funny because you actually DO see her confront on a milk carton in the second game. Although, it is in a trash can...
  • My personal theory is that she went to live with her parents, who were upset about the whole "getting kidnapped by the neighbour" thing.
    • In other words, she got kidnapped once and her mom got scared; she said, "You're non living with your brother and so shut to Gruntilda's lair."
    • To add on to that, the "Tooty Fruity" shop in Nuts and Bolts, It might really be run by her. Every bit the story goes, she got kidnapped, her mother got scared and she lived with them (with Banjo visiting oftentimes in between adventures), then in the future Nuts and Bolts happens and Tooty runs a candy shop.
  • Silk they sent her to her uncle in a boondocks called Bel-Air?
  • I figure that they forgot her on the beach.
• And then, why did Grunty turn into a skeleton?
  • She's been buried underground for two years. Don't ask why she'south still alive.
    • Why is she still alive? (Sorry. Couldn't resist.)
    • A Wizard Did It. (Well, she is a witch, what did yous expect?)
    • Her sisters stole life force from the land and gave it to her. They couldn't resurrect her completely, though, so she ended upwardly as a skeleton. That was the primary plot of the game, remember?
    • Nope, she never died, her torso just became skeletal while cached, the plot was to have her regain her flesh. And she never got to use B.O.B. in herself anyway.
    • Well, that's an easy way to lose weight.
    • The fact that we see Grunty's rock beingness knocked around during the title sequence and the intro scene makes it pretty obvious that Grunty was alive the entire fourth dimension.
    • She'south a witch. Plain witches in this poetry are immortal. At the end, she got blown to pieces and was still conscious; if that didn't kill her, lack of food, h2o, and oxygen wouldn't.
    • And why do her ribs show through her clothes?
    • I recollect her cloak'southward simply open, exposing them. Either that or it's to freak people out.
    • Office of her clothes rotted while she was buried hush-hush alive for 2 years (her lid has also visibly deteriorated).
    • She was kept live by that terminal spell she cast earlier falling off the tower.
    • No, that spell was supposed to turn Banjo into a frog, only missed.
• In Banjo Tooie, why tin can't Banjo use his claw swipe set on when he's past himself? Most of the other moves make sense in terms of whether you need to have both characters together or just a specific one in order to perform them, just the fact that Banjo tin can do zip to defend himself before learning to use his backpack to hit people is ridiculous, considering that they left all the duo's other moves from Banjo-Kazooie intact. While I'm at information technology, why does he suddenly demand Kazooie to roll in the sequel when he was perfectly capable of doing information technology without her help in the original?
  • They changed the claw swipe for a ground version of Kazooie's peck set on in Tooie, specifically and so Banjo couldn't use the move and thus demand to learn the backpack attack. It was a lame attack anyway.
  • He wishes he could keep those moves, simply he cannot. He is leap past a pack.
• Is Banjo his world'due south police officer?
  • No, he is just a bear who happens to alive in the same place every bit an evil witch.
  • Banjo-Kazooie, Freelance Police?
  • Given that zip happens in the world without Banjo's direct intervention, it can be surmised that Banjo is actually God, and his people give him Jiggies as sacrifices for his various wonders. Presumably, somewhere, there are a agglomeration of monkeys smirking considering Banjo evolved bipedal locomotion for them and didn't even come up back for the Jiggy later; it could be argued that Grunty is human, just the differences betwixt her and a trash compactor seem to be largely cosmetic.
    • Perhaps Banjo himself is non god, simply Master Jiggywiggy is, and Banjo, Kazooie, and Mumbo are his other disciples (i.e. not the one who guards the door to the temple).
• Why is the first surface area called Spiral Mount, when the terrain immediately surrounding it is elevated significantly college? Wouldn't Spiral Valley be more appropriate?
  • Considering the defining feature is an enormous spiral-shaped mound that one might phone call a "mount"?
• How big is Banjo, anyway? He'southward a deport, but Kazooie and Bottles (a mole) are all roughly the same size as him. This could be passed off as some trait of Funny Animal people in this world, but in Click Clock Wood, an ordinary eagle and a squirrel are bigger than he is. He's the same size as Mumbo, who's vaguely humanoid, then maybe the other animals are just huge... Simply and then we meet Humba in Tooie, who is a totally normal human, and she's twice the size of Banjo. Is Banjo a actually tiny deport, or...?
  • Humba is pretty much the aforementioned size as everyone else at the end of the game, so I'm bold she was just giant in her wigwam because the designers idea it looked better. The eagle is also bigger than a bull or a crocodile, and many bugs are close to the aforementioned size as everything else, so take those how you volition.
    • Non to mention Captain Blackeye, who'southward at least 5 times taller than Banjo.
  • Aye, Banjo certainly seems smaller in comparison to the other characters, but he seems to have grown in Nuts and Bolts. Now he'south taller than nigh of the other characters, though not by a whole lot.
    • Taking this into consideration, Banjo appears to be near the size of a normal bear in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, existence taller than simply about anybody just Eggman, who is slightly taller than him. This would make Kazooie nearly the size of an Albatross, at LEAST.
• Maybe I'grand looking also far into this, but the idea that Tooty is the fairest in the land is just incredibly Squicky.
  • Well... yeah, kind of. For starters, at that place isn't exactly a huge assortment of women in any of the games, let solitary attractive ones, and also the key give-and-take is "fairest". Not sexiest, or hottest, fairest, in a pure sense. Basically, information technology'southward simply a annotate of existence aesthetically flawless. Like saying she received good genes.
  • This is really accurate to the original Grimm version of Snowfall White, in which the titular grapheme was only 7.
• When Banjo is transformed, what the heck happens to Kazooie?
  • Well, given they refer to themselves as "we" in Banjo-Tooie, and Kazooie describes their Stony grade every bit a "Conduct and Bird in disguise", it seems to be a case of two minds, 1 body.
  • She's still in the backpack, probably. You'll not that every transformation even so has information technology in patently sight—its only Banjo that changes.
• Why is Banjo the only person in the unabridged universe that Kazooie doesn't hate?
  • Because he's one of the only people in their universe who's not abrasive, or a wiggle. Most of the other characters they meet take them bending over backwards for Jiggies, even when these problems could exist pretty easily solved past themselves. The enemies they encounter seem to be spoiling for a fight 24/7, like the behemothic crab who tries to piece them upwardly because of a petty insult or a giant coal monster who tries to shell them for daring to ask him permission to use his railroad train.
  • Another thought is that Kazooie doesn't "hate" anyone particularly, and so much every bit that she'southward simply very acerbic towards pretty much everyone. Banjo is the exception because A) she's well aware that he *is* stronger than her by a large margin and B) considering she basically is living in his pack, so she's slightly nicer to him because he's her firm
• Where, exactly, are the worlds in the original game? My Willing Pause of Disbelief volition let me believe that those mountains are deep enough to house a series of caverns big enough to be Grunty's lair, but given that many of the worlds are clearly outdoors... wha? Are they merely on other parts of the Isle, linked in that location past magic? Are they in other dimensions entirely? How does Mumbo get to all of them, then? Is it his business firm? Or Bottles, for that thing? And if they're on the Isle O' Hags, then where are they in the overhead view you see in Cloud Cuckoo State in the sequel?
  • There are portals: it's what the beginning pads are for.
  • In the first game, Grunty made the worlds both as challenges and to brighten the place upwards (or for more practical purposes, as in Clanker's Cavern). Information technology's easy to assume they're pocket dimensions or something. Mumbo can probably simply teleport between them - he'd never teach Grunty something he couldn't sneak by, afterwards all. Bottles probably just uses the pads similar Banjo, simply he can get in that location before yous because he can dig, or he's got a bit of magic also (he tin can talk to you without beingness actually there, implying telepathy). As for Banjo Tooie, I have no thought.
  • The same identify the paintings in Super Mario 64 lead, I would assume. Or at least a similar dimension.
  • Wait, what? The tower doesn't even connect to mountains aside from slightly jutting out.
  • I've always just assumed that the entrances to the worlds in Grunty'south lair act as portals that atomic number 82 to dissimilar places. In Cloud Cuckooland in Tooie, you tin can actually see some of the Tooie worlds on the Isle'o'Hags below; presumably, the Banjo Kazooie worlds are also down there somewhere also.
  • Clanker's Cavern is under Rusty Bucket Bay. Mad Monster Mansion is Grunty'southward vacation house.
  • Check the WMG.
• How did Bottles tunnel a molehill into the belly of a cyborg-shark-whale? Too, in the sequel, how did Jamjars build a silo that links to a cave in a floating mount in the sky?
  • Do you mean the hatches? The Silos just appear on the Isle O' Hags.
    • Yep, really. Cheers for clearing upward the misconception.
  • At the end of Tooie, Kazooie tells Jamjars "At to the lowest degree we weren't hiding in our silos", so there are two types of Silos, the kind that Banjo and Kazooie apply to warp in Isle O' Hags, and the ones Jamjars uses. In this same sense, how can Bottles tunnel into worlds created by Gruntilda's magic? And how does he move around and so FAST anyway? I can only assume the molehills and silos are magic also.
    • The worlds weren't created by Gruntilda's magic, the entrances in Grunty's Lair are portals to far-away lands.
  • I'grand far more than concerned nearly the molehill in Treasure Trove Cove where y'all learn how to fly. It's on top of a send'southward crow'due south nest, the floor of which cannot be more than than about 12 inches thick...
    • He burrows through it. As for Clanker's Cavern, he goes through the lock and each link in the chain to the underbelly.
  • He swims into Clanker. Who said he had to stay underground all the time?
• Where exactly does Kazooie poop when she's confined to Banjo'south pack? Makes y'all wonder if there was more to her being happy to leave than we think...
  • It'southward contained in the Blueish Eggs, of form.
  • She probably just gets out. We only don't get to see when it happens since it'd be gross.
    • Nosotros don't see Banjo poop either... why does it matter?
  • Nobody Poops. Really.
    • This raises questions about Loggo.
    • Loggo is one of Grunty'southward toilets, duh.
    • Also, if nobody poops, then what the heck are the Clinker's in the Clinker's Cavern Mini-game in Grunty Industries in Tooie? They sure look a lot like carrion.
    • Mold. They're mold. Not feces in industrial air ducts.
    • Mold doesn't usually brand fart noises.
    • This is leading into Fridge Hilarity. Why do the turdlets make fart noises?
  • To be fair, as seen in Banjo-Tooie, take you seen how much Banjo'due south backpack tin can comport when he's non at run a risk of burdensome Kazooie? (Hint, a baby triceratops much bigger than he is.) Perhaps it's a portable Hammerspace that contains Kazooie's apartment (she just craps whenever she's in the backpack).
• About the vehicles...
  • Games that but contain Banjo the Conduct and no vehicles:
    • Banjo-Kazooie
    • Banjo-Tooie (debatable as there are several minor vehicle segments)
    • Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge
  • Games that contain both Banjo the Bear and vehicles:
    • Diddy Kong Racing
    • Banjo-Airplane pilot
    • Banjo-Kazooie: Basics & Bolts
    • Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie
  • Then, what'south all this most vehicles beingness "un-Banjo"? Seems to me similar he's been drivin' information technology up since Day I (note that I'g talking about the character himself and not the serial).
  • I recall the comment was referring to Basics & Bolts gameplay taking away from the previous games rather the graphic symbol's driving; if Nuts & Bolts retained the previous gameplay and limited the vehicle driving, it would have been more accustomed.
• Then what's the bargain with Grunty's Industries, anyway? The place is an enormous industrial factory that spews waste out of every corner. The air is polluted, the h2o is polluted, the ground is polluted, and the factory pumps out barrel after barrel of toxic waste. But the question still remains: what exactly does the manufacturing plant produce? Twinklies? What does Grunty desire with Christmas lights? And, if the factory does produce twinklies, why does 90% of it have cypher to do with them? Every bit far equally I tin can run into the manufactory simply manufactures toxic waste product
  • Looks to me similar it's a combination of Toxic Waste Found (Everywhere), Freight Station (Train station on flooring ane), Storage Facility (Floors 3 and 5), Mook Factory, and Sewer/Sewage plant (The quaternary floor).
  • Go along in heed that Grunty also has an amusement park that (A) serves food that certainly violates FDA guidelines, (B) has rides which are very dangerous if working at all, and (C) has employees that try to kill the guests. Productivity seems to not be high on her list of priorities.
  • I read somwhere that it manufactures underwear. I recall information technology might have been in the manual or Nintendo Power's Player's Guide.
    • Right, the Nintendo Power Thespian's Guide. The transmission for the game states, and I quote, "Nobody knows what Grunty'southward monstrous manufactory produces." Probably whatever Kremcroc Industries, Inc. does.
    • The Prima stategy guide says that it's an underwear factory. That would make sense, considering the level's transformation is a washing machine that shoots underwear.
  • Based on the wild mass guessing, I'm gonna say, simply considering Information technology Amused Me, that Grunty'southward Industries manufactures radioactive underpants for... experimental medical purposes. All the toxic waste material is simply a by-product, and everything else in the articulation is just due to Grunty'southward... business organization myopia.
    • Well, at that place's a market. "Now, maybe you don't have any tumors. Well, don't worry. If you're wearing these underpants, we took intendance of that likewise."
  • They brand mill parts for Kremcroc Industries, Inc. Kremcroc Industries, Inc. makes factory parts for Grunty Industries.
• Ok, so why did Banjo and Kazooie never bother to set up their house in the eight year gap betwixt Tooie and Nuts & Bolts? Why did they live in information technology after Gruntilda had blown it up and turned the place into an entire dump? I mean, how on Earth could they stand to still live in it without it getting repaired? How does it not bother the ii that they're living in a run down quondam building and never bother to gear up it up? Granted, Jolly Roger did prepare it at the finish of Nuts & Bolts, but why on Globe did the two live in that dump for eight years without repairing it until that betoken in the serial?
  • It helps to emphasize the fact that the ii just let themselves go after and then many years of not being in another game. Or perhaps they did prepare it up, just let information technology get into disrepair later on seeing no reason to clean up.
• The archway to Freezeezy Elevation. Why, exactly, does Gruntilda accept a gigantic landscape of Banjo and Kazooie in her lair?
  • It's possible that the worlds are enchanted by Grunty to show the confront of whosoever is attacking her lair - Gruntilda's the kind of person who would taunt someone who'south attacking her tower.
  • If it helps explicate things, it's not a "landscape" only an Advent calendar, to go with Freezeezy Peak's Christmas theme.
• Why doesn't Ssslumber wake up anymore when you take his Jiggy?
  • The Jiggy was giving him fuel/life force, with it stolen he is locked into an eternal slumber, never to waken again.
  • He's just lazy- "Eh, I wasn't doing anything with it anyway. No signal in trying to carp them about information technology."
• "Chompasaurus: Can yous hear me in there? I won't digest you if you help me out with my little stomach problem." How exactly does that work? Last time I checked, the stomach is a Homeostasis, pregnant its fuction is washed without thinking (in other words, it digests nutrient automatically).
  • Chompasaurus' stomachs don't work that way?
  • I think there are some organisms that digest voluntarily.
• If you lot endeavor to exit a earth every bit Mumbo in Banjo Tooie, he'll refuse to leave considering he's agape of his skull getting looted. But Banjo and Kazooie are still in at that place. They're more than capable of protecting the identify.
  • He's obviously afraid of Banjo and Kazooie looting information technology.
    • Fridge Logic kicks in when you realize that in the first game, Banjo and Kazooie actually *did* loot Mumbo's skull. Notably, the multiple times they took mumbo tokens *in* his skull and used them to pay for spells.
    • Obviously Mumbo needed some aid with leap cleaning.
  • Information technology's too possible there was stuff he had in his business firm that he didn't want Banjo and Kazooie to mess with.
  • Well, if that's the example, it leaves the question equally to why he would leave them in there alone in the first place.
• This ane has been bugging me for a while. Witchyworld has a dark, starry night sky, but when you go into the Wild W Zone's Crazy Castle Stockade, the sky is vivid blueish, with slowly-globe-trotting clouds. There'south even brightly-lit desert scenery! How this area is continued directly to the primary Witchyworld is across me. I decline to believe that all of it is indoors, either.
  • Blue skies must fit the wild west aesthetic likewise well to refuse, I approximate.
  • It takes Banjo and Kazooie twelve hours to walk through the doorway.
    • If that'south the example, and then Grunty should have been able to smash the entire island.
  • A Wizard Did Information technology. No, really. Grunty is the one that owns Witchy globe, so at that place's probably some magic in effect.
• They couldn't have Tooty appear even as a random NPC in any game besides the original? I get the feeling the devs hate her.
  • Perhaps they did.
  • They did and do. Hence why, according to them, after the first game she was hauled off by the "Rubbish Video Game Character Police force". Their words.
• According to ane of the random quotes said by Gruntilda throughout the first game, she wants to be cute only then she could gorge on fast nutrient. Isn't that a bit of a "Shaggy Dog" Story, since she'll just bloat up again?
  • Well from the certain artwork I'd have rather prefer to have not seen Deviantart some people do have a kind of fetish for large women then long as their facial appearance is attractive, you lot wouldn't believe some of the fan art of characters in all forms of media I've seen be large yet however retain a pretty confront all the same I'd have rather not seen these kind of fan arts in the first place.
  • Perchance the magic would keep her beautiful, even when she'due south eating stuff that works against it?
• In Banjo Tooie, why didn't Gruntilda zombify Master Jiggywiggy instead of King Jingaling? She knew from the previous game how important jiggies were for Banjo and Kazooie to succeed, and indeed they did receive much needed insight and assist from Jiggywiggy. It could've slowed downwardly the duo'south progress quite a bit for the hag's do good.
  • During the cutscene when Gruntilda decides that Male monarch Jingaling volition be her offset target, she says that "that traitor Jingaling just gave them [meaning Banjo and Kazooie] a jiggy." The nature of the relationship between Jingaling and Gruntilda is some other headscratcher—why does she telephone call him a traitor? Were they once on the same side?—but it seems that he'due south her target because she's angry at him in that particular moment, so he receives the brunt of her wrath. Plus, Gruntilda's the arrogant blazon—she might have thought that she didn't need to bother draining Jiggywiggy, considering she believed that Banjo and Kazooie wouldn't be able to collect the jiggies they needed to enter his temple.
  • It could too be that Jiggywiggy is immune to the B.O.B..
• A development Question, Why was "Bottles Revenge" completely dummied out from the second game? Hackers have been able to reconstruct it on emulators and so it must have been actually close to completion.
  • Rare ran out of time to completely debug information technology according to the wiki, thus they had to cut it.
• This has bewitched me since I first played Banjoland in Basics and Bolts and now recently with Rare Replay, and that involves the canon condition of Grunty'south Revenge. The game hasn't been referenced in whatever chapters since it was released, Banjoland didn't have anything from it and Rare Replay didn't include it. So what gives? Is the game considered non-canon? Does Rare just detest it for some reason? Maybe it didn't sell well, but so that's no reason to ignore information technology entirely.
  • Originally, information technology was meant to not be a midquel, simply an alternate, 'what if' sequel to Kazzoie detailing what would happen if Grunty's sisters never came for her (so instead, she makes the robot body). It became a standard midquel at some point, but its hard to fence that it still doesn't really contribute much to the overall story: the new characters are from the past, then they're long gone, and the main cast is pretty much left where they were at the end of Kazooie. And so its no so much that they ignore it, theres just nothing from it thats really relevant anymore.
• Why does the game'south logo have ii hyphens ◊? Banjo- -Kazooie? (This as well applies to Yooka-Laylee.)
• Space life mechanics aren't meant to be idea all the way through in general, but Banjo and Kazooie seem directly-upwardly indestructible in Tooie. Every Jiggy, note, Cheato page, and other such collectible remains in their inventory upon their deaths and bosses volition make reference to their previous encounter if they run out of health during the fight. Seems like nothing they find in Tooie is capable of keeping them down permanently, even if it literally blows them to bits like with their detonator form.
• When Mumbo Jumbo enlarged Humba'southward Wigwam to improve T-King Banjo, did he unintentionally make Humba Wumba a giantess?
• How does Grunty know Banjo and Kazooie'south every move?
  • At least in the first game, information technology's her lair and her grunts (generally) in every world. In the second game she does have Cameras but I don't know how she tin can see their other moves.
• How come up Tooty didn't just run across Banjo's firm upon seeing Gruntilda coming for her?
  • Paralyzed with fear, most likely.
• Tooty is the fairest lady in the land? Compared to Humba Wumba and some of the other more adult women in the state? I sympathise that Banjo-Kazooie doesn't have a lot of women and that well-nigh of the other off-white women come in Tooie, but fifty-fifty and so there are characters like the female Squirrel and fifty-fifty Kazooie who are outright more than fair and then Gruntilda...
• Glitter Gulch Mine has two similar variants on its level theme. Dark northward Dingy Interiors, which plays in the caverns and has a more subdued, melancholy feel to information technology, and Night Rooms, a chilling, ominous tune with psycho strings playing in the background that plays only in the darkest and creepiest areas in the game. And then for some reason, they have Dark Rooms play in the waterfall cavern, a fairly decently lit area with glistening crystals and a roaring waterfall, while Night n Muddied Interiors plays in the flooded caverns, an extremely night and claustrophobic area that is most pitch black in the surface area you lot collect the jiggy. What's upward with that?
• Why can't Kazooie use Wonderwing when separated from Banjo?
