Banjo-Kazooie: Gruntyland is a new Banjo-Kazooie game, made for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Party Mode.
Plot:[]
Gameplay[]
The gameplay is like a mix of the original Banjo-Kazooie, with the magic wrench moves of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.
Characters[]
Banjo & Kazooie are back, and ready to play. They will relearn some of their old moves, including the wrench, and also some new ones too.
Mumbo has the same role in Banjo-Tooie, using his magic to help the duo, and collect certain Jiggies. He also gains new moves too.
Humba Wumba masters transformations, like in Banjo-Tooie.
The Jinjos play the same role in the first game, with 6 being imprisoned in each world, even the hub. The colours are the same as in Nuts & Bolts.
King Jingaling keeps track of the Jinjos you rescue.
Bottles is back to teach you your old moves & some new ones too. He even teaches some to Mumbo.
Jamjars, his brother, will increase your egg & feather capacity for every 5 Plus Tokens you find.
Klungo runs the express terminal. He lets you use his transport train to travel between worlds.
Boggy runs his gym from Nuts & Bolts, where you can upgrade Banjo's speed,strength, health, and air.
The Jolly Dodger helps by supplying cheat codes; he'll tell a new code for every 5 Chips you find.
The Lord of Games [L.O.G.] has been disabled by Grunty, so the only thing he can do is open worlds for you, like Master Jiggywiggy. But to make him open worlds, you have to get the required number of Jiggies for each world, cause Grunty put them all under a Jiggylock; that means they will not open unless a certain number of Jiggies have been found.
His wife, the Lady of Games [L.A.G. for short, but don't call her that], will let you use special warp pads you find, so you can teleport to and from the different areas of Gruntyland.
Trophy Thomas runs the arcade for minigames you encounter. He bets you can't beat his scores on the games! He also lets you replay boss battles.
