Banjo-Kazooie (Game)/Bosses

Banjo-Kazooie has 9 bosses in total, with one boss per world (with the exception of Freezeezy Peakas, Gobi’s Valley, and Mad Monster Mansion) well as the final boss

## Conga

Conga is a big ape with black fur. He is the boss of Mumbo Mountain. To fight him, the player must steal an orange (which Conga is throwing at the player) for Chimpy. After giving an orange to Chimpy, the chimp will lead the player to a perch so they can fire eggs at Conga. After firing enough eggs, Conga will give the player a Jiggy.

## Nipper

Nipper is a big green hermit crab with a white shell. He is the boss of Treasure Trove Cove. To fight him, the player must find him on the shore of Treasure Trove Cove where Kazooie will insult him and then Nipper will attack. To defeat him, the player must use Rat-a-tat Rap on his eyes. Nipper will pinch at the player and each time they attack him, he will pinch faster and give the player less time to attack. After attacking the giant hermit crab three times, Nipper will retreat into his shell where the player can enter. Once traveling through a windy corridor, two Snippets will attack. In the same room as them is a Jiggy.

## Mutie-Snippets

Mutie-Snippets are mutant versions of regular Snippets. They have one big claw, one big eye, and are green. They are the bosses of Clanker’s Cavern. To fight them, the player must go behind Clanker where there will be a green glowing hole in the wall. Enter it and travel through the corridor to enter a green glowing room. Once inside one of them will speak and they will go on the attack. Defeat all of them and get onto the platform in the center of the room to obtain a Jiggy.

## Yellow Flibbits

Yellow Flibbits are yellow versions of regular Flibbits. They are the bosses of Bubblegloop Swamp. To fight them, the player must go in the direction of Tanktup (a giant turtle) where there is a platform with a bunch of stumps on it. Once the player goes onto the platform, Yellow Flibbits will jump out of the stumps. Defeat all of them to get a Jiggy.

## Boss Boom Box

Boss Boom Box is a giant boom box who is the boss of Rusty Bucket Bay. To fight him, the player must drop a box of TNT off the crane (which is off the stern-side of Rusty Bucket Bay) which will allow access to his room. Despite being a boom box, Boss Boom Box does not contain any explosives. He will hop after the player and after being defeated, he will split into smaller boxes with less health and more speed. After each box splits into smaller boxes and are all destroyed, the player will get a Jiggy

## The Zubbas

The Zubbas are anthropomorphic bees. They are the bosses of Click Clock Wood. To fight them, the player must enter their nest which can be entered in summer (as regular Banjo). To enter, the player must use Beak Buster. After defeating the Zubbas, the player vet’s a Jiggy

## Gruntilda Winkybunion

Gruntilda is the final boss of the whole game. In her first phase, Grunty will try to impale the player with the teeth on her broom. Eventually she will slow down which gives the player a chance to fire eggs at her or use the Rat-a-tap Rap. She will then throw fireballs and homing attacks at the player. The fireballs can be dodged but the homing attacks require a Wonderwing to be protected from (or a well timed Beak Buster). In her next phase, Grunty will fly out of the players reach, fortunately, Bottles assists and gives the player a flight pad. Use this and use Beak Bomb on Grunty (the player can also give above Grunty and use a Beak Buster which will then lead to a fall which requires another Beak Buster closer to the ground to prevent damage). Grunty then enters her third phase where she puts up an impenetrable force field. Four Jinjo statues will emerge from the ground. The player must fire three eggs in the hole at the base of the statues. When the three eggs are fired in, the Jinjos will become real and fire themselves at Grunty like missiles to break her force field. However, Grunty continues attacking during this phase (the player cannot take cover under the statues because the attacks fly through them). This will break Grunty’s broom and she will fall to the edge of the tower. This initiates her fourth phase where Grunty still has a force field. She will fire fireballs and homing attacks at the player. At this time, the statue of The Mighty Jinjonator emerges. The statue has four holes in it’s base. The player must fire five eggs into each hole while avoiding Gruntilda’s attacks. After all the holes have had five eggs fired in them, the statue will become The Might Jinjonator who knocks Grunty off the tower. As she falls, the witch fires one last powerful spell at the bear and bird which misses and Grunty falls to her doom.
