  • Gruntilda's Lair
rdfs:comment
  • Gruntilda's Lair is located in a large sculpture of Gruntilda's head in Spiral Mountain. It is largely cavernous but features some wild changes in environment (including a swamp, a snow-filled area, a forest and an enormous lava-filled chamber). Most of it is indoors, but the graveyard area where the Mad Monster Mansion entrance is to be found gives the impression of being outside. It is also the location of all the jigsaws that must be filled to open the worlds. The background music of Gruntilda's Lair is based on the tune of Teddy Bears' Picnic and is also used as the theme for Gruntilda herself.
  • Throughout Gruntilda's Lair, the theme is repeted ad infinitum though it changes in instrumentation according to nearby levels. (i.e. When you are in the Treasure Trove Cove area, the theme has and accodian playing the melody, giving the song a swashbuckling feel. In Freezeezy Peak, the theme is striped to a music box playing both chords and melody very softly.) The theme is an adaption of the song "Teddy Bear's Picnic" by John Walter Bratton.
  • The entrance of Gruntilda's Lair greatly resembles the head of Gruntilda herself. Inside of her Lair is a large, maze-like structure constisting of various enemies, and gateways to other areas. It is largely cavernous but features some wild changes in environment (including a swamp, a snow-filled area, a forest and an enormous lava-filled chamber). Most of it is indoors, but the graveyard area where the Mad Monster Mansion entrance is to be found gives the impression of being outside.The pointy hat-like stone structure on top of the lair is actually a tower, which ultimately leads to the roof where the final battle against Gruntilda takes place.
  • Gruntilda's Lair is the lair of the evil witch Gruntilda before her first defeat by Banjo and Kazooie. During Banjo-Kazooie, most of the game is set in this massive area. Within the lair itself, there are entrances to nine different worlds: Mumbo's Mountain Treasure Trove Cove Clanker's Cavern Bubblegloop Swamp Freezeezy Peak Gobi's Valley Mad Monster Mansion Rusty Bucket Bay Click Clock Wood During Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, the lair is inaccessible but visible from the outside in Spiral Mountain (probably to make you focus on L.O.G.'s and Grunty's Challenges).

  • Gruntilda's Lair is the lair of the evil witch Gruntilda before her first defeat by Banjo and Kazooie. During Banjo-Kazooie, most of the game is set in this massive area. Within the lair itself, there are entrances to nine different worlds: Mumbo's Mountain Treasure Trove Cove Clanker's Cavern Bubblegloop Swamp Freezeezy Peak Gobi's Valley Mad Monster Mansion Rusty Bucket Bay Click Clock Wood Outside of these nine worlds, there are a number of different rooms and sub-areas. The hat on top of the lair is actually a tower, which ultimately leads to the roof where the final battle against Gruntilda takes place in Banjo-Kazooie. Unlike most main antagonists' lairs, Gruntilda's Lair actually serves as a hub world of the first game. When Banjo and Kazooie visit the lair again in Banjo-Tooie, the lair has been severely wrecked, as the entrance inside of the cave shaped like Gruntilda's face is blocked by rocks, and the players only use of visiting this area is visiting Cheato. During Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, the lair is inaccessible but visible from the outside in Spiral Mountain (probably to make you focus on L.O.G.'s and Grunty's Challenges).
