Banjo and Kazooie make their way back up the lair until they finally reach the roof with a little help from Dingpot. On the roof, Gruntilda challenges them to a more direct confrontation and an epic battle ensues. But, with the help of the Jinjos they rescued in the various levels in Gruntilda's Lair, Banjo and Kazooie defeat Gruntilda and ultimately knock her off her tower. She crashes into the ground, creating a crater of her shape, which is then covered by a large boulder that falls from the tower and traps her beneath it. Banjo and Kazooie finally take a well-deserved break at the beach, where the bear and bird and their friends anticipate a sequel, ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. Meanwhile, Gruntilda, whose loyal minion [[Klungo]] is trying to rescue her, swears her revenge. | Banjo and Kazooie make their way back up the lair until they finally reach the roof with a little help from Dingpot.

==Main Characters== | |||
*[[Banjo]] the Bear - A good hearted, well mannered and sweet natured honey-bear. He's always seen wearing bright yellow shorts and a blue packpack for carrying Kazooie around. As seen in the opening scene, he's an experienced banjo player, he cares a lot for his best friend and those in need and sometimes shares a bond or two with his little sister, Tooty. Unlike his sister, Banjo's not really into adventuring. Banjo first appeared in [[Diddy Kong Racing]]. | |||
*[[Kazooie]] the Breegull - A sassy and obnoxious wise-cracking red-crested Breegull and Banjo's best friend. She loves to insult people out of the blue which causes conflicts and fights, Kazooie loves to explore and go adventuring. She also plays a namesake instrument; in this case: the kazoo. | |||
*[[Gruntilda]] Winkybunion - The main antagonist, Gruntilda or Grunty for short is an evil and stereotypical Witch who sets out to capture Banjo's sister to steal her beauty. She always speaks in rhyme and also happens to own a broom that follows her when needed. | |||
*[[Tooty]] the Bear - Banjo's cheerful and younger sister. Tooty is somewhat a bit of an outgoing lass and loves adventuring, she's a bit cowardly but did vow that Banjo would come and save her from Grunty after being kidnapped. | |||
*[[Bottles]] the Mole | |||
*[[Mumbo Jumbo]] the Shaman | |||
*[[Brentilda Winkybunion]] | |||
*[[Klungo]] | |||
==Worlds== | |||
There are nine main worlds, one overworld/hub world, and one starter world. Three additional worlds were left unfinished so therefore were not featured in the game. This comes to a total of eleven worlds featured in ''Banjo-Kazooie''. | |||
