Banjo-Kuadzooie

is the nth installment of Banjo-Kazooie, developed by Gear Games and Rare, and published by Microsoft. This game is released for both the Xbox Series X and Evo-Gem in {date to determine}, with the intent to return to the original gameplay while giving unique twists in the series' formula.
The meta-humor from Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, as well as some of the British humor in general, had been carried over, and the plot is fairly darker compared to previous Banjo-Kazooie games, but not without lighthearted humor and the characters' comedic personality. The plot is said to take place directly after Banjo-Kazooie: Showtime, and explains why the Nuts & Bolts material aren't often seen since the release of that game.
== ==
Like in Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie and Banjo-Kazooie: Gruntilda's Revenge, Banjo-Quadzooie is a 3D collectathon platforming game, with the goal is to collect as many Jigsaw Pieces (also known as Jiggies) as possible. The player needs enough Jiggies in order to advance to another World and other bonuses.
However, there are notable differences from previous Banjo-Kazooie games regarding gameplay, which are mostly quality-of-life changes and to take account on the playable status of Mumbo Jumbo and the newcomer Maximas.
=== ===
== ==
Although it follows the usual "Banjo and Kazooie have to defeat Gruntilda and save the day" formula, it does add some twists into the mix, such as the L.O.G. being an active harm to the heroes this time, and confronting Gruntilda in the middle of the game as a normal (but important) boss.
===Prologue: ===
== ==
Like multiple Banjo-Kazooie games, Banjo-Quadzooie have distinct characters of which each have a quirky personality and cartoon-esque appearance.
=== ===
The HeroesThe two main playable characters of the game. While Banjo and Kazooie have their own moveset, they can perform outstanding moves such as the Breegull Blaster, Breegull Bash, and the Talon Trot.
Mumbo Jumbo is also playable alongside them, and to make up being less offensive-capable, he can perform magic that allows him to solve puzzles and situations that Banjo and Kazooie cannot solve by themselves.

BanjoThe Main Hero: Scatterbrained, But Polite 	Uh, Kazooie? Do you think L.O.G. had been acting... peculiar lately? I started to worry about what he could do now...
Banjo may not be the smartest hero around, and can be a lazy bum at time... but when the situation calls it, he will jump into action. I mean, who else I can truly trust and rely upon ever since he found me in our blue backpack I made myself home at the Breegull Beach? He does move a little sluggish compared to me, but his brute strength can come at handy dealing tougher baddies, especially when he gets a little stronger for some reason.
Look, I may call myself the real star of this game and previous Banjo-Kazooie games, but I do not think I would be able to solve it all without my best bud. Not even that bossy L.O.G. would ever separate our everlasting partnership! - Kazooie
KazooieThe Other Main Hero: Rude, But Adventurous 	I'm hearing a tense music going on. I do not think it will be a good surprise, whatever is that computer face is up to-- Oh, no!
Yup, that's me, Kazooie the Breegull. Remember that! Anyways, say what you want about me, but at least I have nice finesse and agility compared to Banjo. And I'm always up for adventure, especially if it means beating up bad guys! So don't expect me go easy with bullies.
You better believe that I am doing all of the hard work while Banjo is more or less the general bruiser, but don't worry about him whacking me for the Breegull Bash or other weaponry purposes; I'm all good being used as a weapon as long as I get credence! - Kazooie
Mumbo JumboSelf-Proclaimed Handsome, Genuine Shaman	Situation worse than Mumbo feared. Now Mumbo will go with bear and bird, even if Mumbo have to fight!
It's Mr. Short Staff himself. Why is he traveling with us this time? I guess the situation become so desperate that Skull Face don't want to sit down and hope that things will be alright. Well, he tried to be really brave for once, I give him that. Doubt that Humba would help him, so I would like to see where their rivalry will go this time!
But you gotta give it to him. His voodoo stuff does comes in handy at times... or often as Banjo insists. Still, he's no fighter, but he did learn a new kind of magic that let him fly permanently, but only for the caster, allowing him to be safe. But if I were you, he's not the best choice for speedrunning because of him being a slow skull! - Kazooie
MaximasBig Edge, Bigger Heart, Biggest Elf 	This is a bigger situation than any big situation I had saw before! ... Perfect, 'cause I always waited something like this since twenty years!
Oh, hey. An elf heroine. I was expecting a hulking powerhouse... not a hulking powerhouse with this sort of face! But anyone willing to help us kicking bad guys' butt can be my guest after all, and her strength and size have some use. If you want some context, she ends up in our world because L.O.G. was trying to find his odd-looking henchmen to get rid of us... What an awkward situation.
She can be loud and annoying, but for someone her size, she's also very fast and cannot be slown down, making for handy transportation as well when I want to rest my talons. Of course, since she can't be used in small rooms and tight spaces, and since she's very heavy, I would love to remind her that I'm the star of this game! Alongside Banjo, but really, that's obvious at this point. - Kazooie
=== ===
The VillainsThe two troublemakers. They are those two main antagonists that Banjo, Kazooie and Mumbo had to stop before their game worlds will be turned into endless nightmare!
Gruntilda and the Lord of Games have different goals in mind, but they have one thing in common... getting the other and the heroes out of the way!	The VillainsThe two troublemakers. They are those two main antagonists that Banjo, Kazooie and Mumbo had to stop before their game worlds will be turned into endless nightmare!
Gruntilda and the Lord of Games have different goals in mind, but they have one thing in common... getting the other and the heroes out of the way!
Gruntilda WinkybunionWicked Witch, in an Absolute Pitch 	Dealing with you, Grunty had enough! Too bad that the Lord of Lame is now pure bluff!
It's the wart breath... coming back for round whatever-the-number-is. Can't she take a break, be it even spending a penny? Whatever she will do, it's nothing good for everybody else! She's that wicked, I tell you! But how she managed to escape the video game factory - despite her reboot failed her and being kicked right back there - is what caused me to slap my beak!
... Well, the answer is, while computer face and his wife are bickering, Gruntilda had found the Logonium container and broke it, which not only reduce that computer face into not so much of a creator of all video games, but also make her more potent on her witchcraft! And now she want to make her own "Grunty Land" and make all of us ugly training dummies! Her mind is clearly in the toilet! - Kazooie
Lord of GamesSo-Called Creator of All Games... Out of Control	Enough with this foolishness! If you and Gruntilda won't stop your pointless feud, then I have no other choice but to remodel the world and scrap each and everyone of you into the Scrappy Penitentiary!
It's the LCD face, who calls himself the creator of all video games. I bet that his ego had inflated over time by being forced into bringing us back to like the old times by some sort of higher-up for a fighting tournament! But as if that don't tick him off enough, Gruntilda managed to break the Logonium container which almost drained all of his power! Almost.
There's also the fact that he is so tired dealing with the fans up there for them treating us much better than him, lately. Usually, he is disrespectfully dismissive to them, but it's clear that he don't want to be outdone when it comes to video games! His wife told us that we gotta stop him before he could lose the rest of his power and turn our world into an unplayable mess... Good, I wanna peck his face for forcing us into a game that put us into a hiatus! - Kazooie
=== ===
The Important AlliesThe allies of our heroes who aren't fully playable, but they are also important for the game progress.	The Important AlliesThe allies of our heroes who aren't fully playable, but they are also important for the game progress.
Lady of GamesSuper Eccentric Wife, but Super Passionate Maker 	Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! My love had lost his control... Good thing I was prepared for his crisis! The problem is... Yeah, I'll be quite blunt with you two, the wicked witch snatched them.
I only know the Lord of Games' wife by hearing her name, but from what I've heard, she have a very weird taste when it comes to making video games. Turns out I'm right, but she's also a nice person who introduced herself with deep respect toward us... Really, I wasn't expecting such a respect from someone other than Banjo, and I really appreciate it. Still, she's very eccentric, even compared to the Cloud Cuckoolanders!
She helps us keeping the Jiggies - especially the sort-of special purple Jiggies that we never seen before for some reason - and give us access to new Worlds when we collected enough of them. She's not always good when it comes to portals, and at times, it lead us to embarrassing situations! But despite all that, I still prefer her over L.O.G... by a landslide! - Kazooie

</tabber>
BottlesMove-Teaching Goggled Mole 	Ooooh, noooo! My manual booklets for the new moves are locked by L.O.G.! We need Notes to unlock them!
Looks like Bogeyes have a good reason for us to require Notes this time, as contrived as this feels. The L.O.G. managed to locked his manual booklets for the new moves he reserved it for us, and the most perplexing part is that he didn't even bother to collect them by himself! Pah, not that he is really made for an adventure.
On the bright side, those new moves seems to be very useful for us to try, especially when we get to the tougher worlds. And this time, he's also giving some new moves that Skull Head and Big Ears would probably make good use off, too. Though it's a good thing that the Lady of Lags give us access to the Choose-a-Move Menu, otherwise we will have way too many moves for one simple controller! - Kazooie
JamjarsTough Mole, Father to his Men 	Pay attention, bear and bird! The Lord of Games left us blurred! But we have a solution, allowing us to make retribution!
Ack! Do we really need Sargent Loudmouth for this? We already have plenty of new moves Goggle Face give us! What's that, Banjo? The Tough Mole simply let us transport area to area with his pads right at the Transport Menu? Well, sounds very convenient when we need to return to the Central Hub Station ASAP, if you ask me. They can also be used as some sort of respawn zone when we want to try again, especially when its near a frustratingly tough Jiggy to collect!
His Pads also have a new function that allows us to blast at the sky, reaching very high place and damage enemies throughout our blast velocity. Doesn't this sound familiar? The thing is that Whale-Sized Elf cannot use them, but that's because she's too big to fit them in. Not that she really needs it! - Kazooie
Humba WumbaRival of the Shaman, So-Called Greatest Sha-Woman 	Bigger situation requires bigger solution, and I got more transformations available for you and your bird friend. Unfortunately, I still won't let your mumbling friend in, and your big elf friend is too big for my magic to work properly!
Feather Head thinks she's better at magic than Mumbles. Well tell me what, between you and me, I will say they are equally as clumsy as they are talented! One thing for sure, Humba do have a decency to offer transformations just for me, something that Mumbo never did for me, so I give her a bonus point for that.
Banjo and I have some transformations exclusive from her, but we need to collect a Glowbo for each world. We're thankful that the required Glowbo is in the respective world, because all of that searching in another world can be obnoxious at times! Obviously, Mr. Oomenacka and, because of her size, Miss Massive can't have access to those transformations. Mumbo have transformations that works on himself, anyways! - Kazooie
KlungoFormer Henchman, Not-So-Clever Scientist and Developer 	You worry about Lord of Gamessss, but Grunty alwaysssss bigger problem! Klungo want to help with potionsssss, but Klungo's potionsssss ingredients harmful to bear and bird.
This dumbbell did the right choice to giving up as Gruntilda's henchman. I would retire much, much earlier if I were him though. Now he's an independent game developer, but if you ask me, he's taking rough first steps! He's also back to science, but at least he wanted to help us with his potions...
... But the problem is that his potions contain ingredients harmful to bear and bird, which is Banjo and I. Real convenient, Klungo! On the other hand, we don't really need 'em in the long run. This leaves Shakalaka (Mumbo Jumbo) and Massimus (Maximas) to drink them... provided that they can use 'em well! Oh, and some potions only works on one or another. - Kazooie
JinjosLittle Buddies from Multiple Colors 	We Jinjos need your help... again! Collect all of the family members in the same color, and then we reward you with a Jigsaw! And please save our King Jingaling from the tyrannic machine!
Those fellows sure love to get into trouble, are they? Well, if this means more Jigsaws for us to collect, I wouldn't mind... Even if this means hearing their cry for help every single second! Well, this can beneficial since if you hear them, you know one is nearby.
As we learn more about what L.O.G. wanted with King Jingaling, we also need to collect 30 of them in order to re-awake the Mighty Jinjonator just in case! I dunno when, but I heard that it would be during a very tough battle. I also heard about the Gray Jinjos becoming the Angel Jinjos, as well as five newly discovered Camo Jinjos. So, in a nutshell, they act as "secondary collectibles". I bet they don't have time to develop their character further! - Kazooie
Master JiggywiggySacred Mighty Jigsaw Master 	Oh, the blasphemy! The Lord of Games is making war with all of us in desperate attempt to throw all of us in the "rubbish character prison", and none of us will not permit such a betrayal!
The Jiggyface seems to be very upset about L.O.G. tempting with the Jiggies by attempting to change their functionality. Thankfully that was after his power is drained down, or else I don't think this game would be like our old time! Since the 8-Bit Lady use the Jiggies to open up new paths, what the peck he could do this time?
Well, he's still the master of Jigsaws as he claims. He can help us by indicating where to find the next Master Jigsaw and reveal the location of missing Jigsaws. Banjo said that he's more important to the story than his role suggests at first... Well, it better not him constantly hand-holding us! - Kazooie

WorldsBeyond the hub world and the starter world, these are the Worlds the heroes have to explore and find Jiggies in order to gain access to another World.
Most Worlds are connected to each others, thus the player can play the unlocked ones at any order, though they can also use the World Paths to directly go into the next world.

Sandwich Short ShoreParadise Broken by IncompetenceWanted: Nippers and SnappersSnappy, Cranky, Shelly Duos	Population: Moderate | Taste of Sandwiches: Delicious | Bad Guy Meter: Short | Captain Blubber's Condition: Marooned
Sandwich Short ShoreParadise Broken by IncompetenceWanted: Nippers and SnappersSnappy, Cranky, Shelly Duos	Neighbor World: Swot Academy (2)
It was used to be a paradise made by my love, but unfortunately, his lack of attention to details quickly slurred some kind of petty war between the Cumbers and the Matoms of who makes the best sandwich. While still lovely to visit, you had to be careful with the Cumber or Matom soldiers who are guarding their respective territory.
Point of Interests: Salty Sea Hippo, Captured Giant Site, Washed Up Ship, Cucumber Arena, Tomato Colosseum, Well of Fate, Cartwheel Exit
Advice: The game instruction booklet tells me that you gotta rescue a certain strong heroine who is from beyond your world. I will not spoil it for you three, but she will really comes in handy with her immense strength! - Lady of Games
Swot UniversityPrime University for All Game CharactersWanted: Twisted Teacher of Circuits 	Number of Students: Relatively small does to summer vacation | Cafeteria Quality: Questionable but Edible | Bad Guy Meter: Short | Average Student Success Rate: Slightly above average
Swot UniversityPrime University for All Game CharactersWanted: Twisted Teacher of Circuits 	Neighbor Worlds: Sandwich Short Shore (1), Ticket-E-Hoo Hotel (3), Pea-Souper Street (4)
A great majority of video game characters went into this University to become successful video game characters. The success varies depended on the willingness one have, but overall very good. The Lord of Games told me that this is pointless since he can just modify their personality on a whim... Yeah, right. As much as I love him, I can't help but feels that he very often comes off as arrogant when it comes to video games, even if he is the lord of all games!
Point of Interests: Various classes, Rugby Field, Sprint Field, Cafeteria, Principal Room, Basement, Roof, Fish-and-Ship restaurant, parking lot.
Advice: Banjo is going to need the Owlglass transformation in order to memorize important information. In the meanwhile, while Maximas cannot enter the University, she can comes in real handy outside with her strength and size. - Lady of Games
Ticket-E-Hoo HotelBeautiful Hotel Under JeopardyWanted: King VonomitWorld's Slimiest Tyrant 	Number of Customers: Decreasing | Amount of Stars: Five before; now four and three quarters | Bad Guy Meter: Starting to grow | Currency in this World: Tickets
Ticket-E-Hoo HotelBeautiful Hotel Under JeopardyWanted: King VonomitWorld's Slimiest Tyrant 	Neighbor Worlds: Swot Academy (2), Pea-Souper Streets (4), Fullobeans Palace (5)
This hotel nearby the Swot Academy is a popular hotel for people from around the multiple worlds to sit in and relax. Well, that was before the rogues from Pea-Souper Streets and rogue peppers started to sprout up, and there's been complaints that haven't been fixed yet. This gets to the point where they loses a quarter of their fifth star! The owner of the Hotel, Ticketee Hoonguard, want to solve the problems, but his employees are just too scared to even think!
Point of Interests: Hall, Basement, Floor 1, Floor 2, Restaurant Floor, Gym Floor, Amusement Floor, Pool Floor, Roof, Golly Garden
Advice: Unlike the Swot Academy, most of the doors are big enough for Maximas to go thorough. Convenient, since some objects are too heavy to lift! You can also climb from the outside to get into locked room with the opened windows. - Lady of Games
Pea-Souper StreetHeavy Fogged CityBeware of: RoadlashTerrifying Terminating Truck 	Population: Numerous and Increasing | Service Quality: Varies, mostly good | Bad Guy Meter: Moderate | Grunty Around?: Maybe
Pea-Souper StreetHeavy Fogged CityBeware of: RoadlashTerrifying Terminating Truck 	Neighbor Worlds: Swot Academy (2), Ticket-E-Hoo Hotel (3), Fullobeans Palace (5), Bronpants Ports (6)
This city is colorful and the shape are from a cube to triangular to even complicated geometric shapes. There is a lot of service for many tourists and visitors to sit by, as well as a port that is observing the other side of the very large river. Unfortunately, a heavy fog had installed in the city, earning the Pea-Souper part of the name since years ago. Ever since, customers are hard to come by, and you have to clean off the fogs and find the responsible for the perpetual fog!
Point of Interests: Many, most notably Trophy Thomas' Gym, Chez Jolly's, and Gallon Garage.
Advice: Some Jiggies are found on the rooftop of many buildings. You may want to use Banjo and Kazooie to use the Flight or go from a rooftop accessible from one of the buildings to hop from clouds to clouds, flying platforms to flying platforms and even power cords to power cords. Be careful to not fall off! - Lady of Games

Important CollectiblesThis ain't a collect-a-thon game without collectibles! Those collectibles are the important ones which allows Banjo, Kazooie, Mumbo and Maximas to progress. You do not need to collect all of them to reach the final boss, but if you aim for 100%, then in this case, gotta collect them all!

JiggyObligatory Collectible Jigsaw 	I am Mr. Jiggy! It was nice to meet you two again. Thank goodness I do not need to be stored in a claustrophobic bank like the last time!
We have a bad news and a good news. The bad news is that there might be some more Jiggies than even Nuts & Bolts, but the good news is that we don't need to store them in that stupid bank to really collect them; we simply touch them and it is ours, like back in our old games!
Let's just not hope there is an absolute abundance of Jiggies like what happened to one of a plumber's latest adventure; I heard that there are so many moon-shaped collectible out there, I wondered if he really have a patience to collect them all! - Kazooie
LOG JiggyHigher Level Jigsaw; Very Important 	I am a LOG Jiggy. Bip bip bop. You will need us to advance to the next world. Blap bop. The Lady of Games will help you if you collect enough of us!
Aw, come on! I thought that we would have enough with more Jiggies than ever! Oh wait, those aren't ordinary Jiggies... those are the top secret LOG Jiggies that are used to connect between unconnected worlds. How are we supposed to know about those stuff? That Lord of Gamblers and his wife are a lot more secretive than we'd thought!
Anyways, although they count toward the Jiggy total, they are needed to unlock the path to the next world. Usually, there are just three of them, but later worlds will have up to five LOG Jiggies! Unless you wanna be stuck, keep your eyes open on them! - Kazooie
Musical NotesThe Do-Re-Mi Currency! ... Wait a second. 	I am a Musical Note! You gonna need many of us in order to have access to new Moves and other stuff!
What in the world made the Musical Notes actual currency!? I suppose there is so many of them now that we gotta use them in a more "economical" manner. And I'll say this all must be that Lord of Gambling's doing!
That aside, the Notes works as usual. A brown one only make 1, but a silver one make 5, a gold one make 10, and the much less common Treble Clef make 50, and we have to be sure to collect them as many as possible to get cool new moves that Goggled Eyes promised us to give! I guess he will also give them to Skull Mumbles and Big Musclehead, who knows.
There is no need to collect all Notes in this game, since there is an endless amount of them this time. Good for Lassie of Games telling us that, because we will end up spending forever finding them all! - Kazooie

Honeycomb and Co.Healthus Restoracia Honeycombus 	I am a sticky, yummy, juicy, scrumptious Honeycomb! And I know what's gonna happens, as if anyone of you get hurts, you wanna chomp me up!
I'm not a big fan of these sticky stuff, but this is what allows us to restore our health by one unit. Many of the honeycombs are dropped by beaten up bad guys, but there are also several available in beehives, or even isolated ones in multiple places.
There's even some weird variants along with it too; the Double Honeycomb simply restores us by two health units, the Full Honeycomb to fully fill our health back to maximum, and the super gimmicky Random Stop Honeycomb that slowly fills health until it decides to stop. I bet Banjo got his fingers sticky by now! - Kazooie

*The title Banjo-Quadzooie is based on a pun of the franchise title and the prefix "Quad", which means four, or a quadruplet of heroes (Banjo, Kazooie, Mumbo Jumbo and Maximas).
*Unlike the other Banjo-Kazooie games developed by other studios, this game in particular have nods to Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. This is likely does to L.O.G.'s involvement as one of the two major antagonists (the other being, who else, Gruntilda).
*The game was originally supposed to be directly set after Nuts & Bolts. However, as Banjo-Kazooie: Showtime (which is directed by ) was released before Banjo-Quadzooie does and also take place after Nuts & Bolts, Banjo-Quadzooie was set directly right after Showtime instead.
**Because of that, a few references toward Showtime were included.
