Characters

Main
Banjo ("Yea-huh!") Banjo the Bear   Back for another adventure, Banjo is one of the main characters of the game. He is a brown bear with a penchant for helping people out. He wears his trademark yellow shorts, shark tooth necklace, and blue backpack. He was a bit oafish and slow to pick up on things in the first game, but nowadays he's shown flashes of a newfound wit...
Kazooie (*facepalm*) Kazooie the Breegull   The other central character of the series, Kazooie is a foul-mouthed breegull. Quick to judge, she is seen at the beginning robbing the poker players blind. She resides in Banjo's backpack, often coming out just to peck, drill, or demean. In this game though, she may have found a bit of compassion, as well as a way out of the backpack...
Gruntilda the skeleton witch (*Evil laugh*) Gruntilda Winkybunion   The series' main antagonist is at it again. After being freed from her rock, Grunty is now a very bony witch. She is heavyset, and has a hatred for the bear and bird. Your quest will be to stop her destruction of the world.
Mumbo the Shaman skull-guy Mumbo Jumbo   Returning from the last adventure, Mumbo has been stripped of his transformation powers by an unknown force. Now though, he gets the chance to come out of the skull. He is a shaman, complete with a bony head, and skull staff (and house). Players can control him by bringing him a glowbo. He has a staff attack, as well as the ability to perform magic at Mumbo Pads, pads with his face on it.
Wumba Humba Wumba   Making her debut in the series is Humba Wumba, a Native American shaman and rival to Mumbo Jumbo. She takes on his old role, transforming Banjo and Kazooie into various objects and animals. She needs to be given a Glowbo for her magic to work, but it is only needed once. Her transformations are valuable to solving the worlds many puzzles.
Bottles the Mole (deceased) Bottles the Mole   The teacher of moves from the first game, Bottles is back, albeit in another form. Killed in the beginning by Gruntilda's magic, he is only seen as a ghost in Spiral Mountain. He may have hope yet.....
Jamjars the military mole Drill Sergent Jamjars   A military mole who teaches you the most important moves of the game, Jamjars is the brother of Bottles the mole. He is strict, making you bring him musical notes in exchange for moves. He shows little emotion, even when hitting his head on his silo. Still, his moves are the best.
Klungo the henchman Klungo   Grunty's faithful sidekick, Klungo has been trying to move that rock for years. He will fight for her numerous times, though he may not like it...
Mingella and her spellbook Mingella Winkybunion One of Gruntilda's sisters, she and Blobbelda build the Big-O-Baster (B.O.B.). She also used her spellbook to removed the rock that was on-top of Gruntilda.
Blobbelda and her unnamed cat Blobbelda Whinkybunion   Gruntilda's sister, she and Mingella build B.O.B.
Jiggywiggy the jiggies master Master Jiggywiggy   A man with a puzzle piece for a head, he helps you open doors to new worlds. It is not known how he eats, or breathes.
King Jingaling with his pet Toots King Jingaling   Your first real help in the game comes from the great King. Unfortunately, he is a target soon after.

Boss	Location(s)	Description	Tactics
Klungo	Spiral Mountain, Isle o' Hags, Cauldron Keep	Gruntilda`s most loyal servant attacks you with a bunch of potions that have varied effects.	Klungo has three different kinds of potions that he acquires in a random order throughout the game. When he drinks them, they give you the opportunity to attack him.  The three potions are:  Invisibility- Klungo becomes temporarily invisible, but the potions does not work as effectively as it should, and you can easily spot him when the potion fades. Growth- Klungo grows to about 2x his size, all you have to do is avoid his attacks and stike when his guard is down Clones- Spawns an increasing amount of clones, attack all of them while trying to find the real one.   After hitting Klungo, a force field envelops him and he begins throwing exploding potions at you, just dodge the potions until the force field disperses and he'll drink another one of his potions and you can return to attacking him.     Upon three strikes, he is defeated. He is fought multiple times throughout the game as a mini boss.
Targitzan	Mayahem Temple	A rock, and wooden, totem pole. He is fought entirely in first-person mode.	You will be in first-person mode in this battle. All you need to do is aim for the holes each layer of this totem pole and that layer will collapse. You need to be careful however, of the dart projectiles that come out of some holes and dodge them while aiming. Once he's down to just his head, he will self-destruct and you'll get the Jiggy.
Old King Coal	Glitter Gulch Mine	A gigantic coal golem who lives in the boiler of his steam train; Chuffy.	The easiest way to do this is to get on a floating platform then aim at King Coal with Kazooie. Eventually a chunk of his body will fall off and he will get faster, just keep firing at him and he will lose more chunks and give up.   Upon defeat, you are not only awarded with a Jiggy but also with Chuffy; which can be used to travel between worlds with train stations.
Mr. Patch	Witchyworld	A giant inflatable dinosaur covered in a variety of patches.	First, equip your Grenade Eggs, then aim at one of Patch's patches (big stunner here). He will realize what you did and summon a boxing glove that will pop out of the ground and attack you. So to counter this, you must use the flight pads that he also summons to attack him in the air with your new "Aim in the Air" technique. Just aim for all 12 patches while dodging his beach ball attack, and he will go down for the count (no boxing pun intended).   NOTE: It is safe to touch Mr. Patch, so use this to your advantage.
Lord Woo Fak Fak	Jolly Roger's Lagoon	A gigantic anglerfish who resides inside the small, but surprisingly spacious, Davy Jone's Locker	A lot like Mr. Patch's fight, only underwater. Woo Fak Fak will swim back and forth across the arena, stop, and send a charge of energy toward you, just swim up or down to dodge it. To attack him aim for whichever boil on the Lord's body is glowing, it will pop and he will get angry.    After getting rid of 6 boils, he will open his eyes. Now that his eyes are open, he will fire the energy charges more frequently and more accurately, dodge them while aiming for his eyes and he will be defeated.
Terry	Terrydactyland	An imposing male pterodactyl, as well as an overly-protective parent.	Terry will fly around the nest and stop at each end and shoot mucus at you. Shoot Terry while he is flying around the nest to hurt him. After awhile, he will send out some nostril minions to attack you, defeat them, and return to shooting the pterodactyl and he will eventually cave, giving you a Jiggy.     When defeated, Terry asks the duo to find his missing babies; which was the reason for his anger.
Weldar	Grunty Industries	An enormous welding torch with a habit of giving away too much information.	This boss has 3 basic patterns: Blue flames, Minions, and Chasing. The first one has you dodge some flames that Weldar spits from his mouth. After that is done, he will try to suck you up like vacuum. Simply shoot a flaming egg (fire, grenade, clock-work Kazooie) into his mouth and a red plate will fall off of his body. He will get mad and send minions after you, defeat them and he will try to suck you up again, shoot an egg and another plate flies off. Now he jumps up into the air and then chases you around the battle field like it's a deadly version of "Tag". He will try to suck you up, so shoot another egg into his mouth.   Soon after, he turns on an electrical switch that turns on cables in the ground. You then have to repeat the whole process again, while avoiding touching a cable on the ground.   Soon, all of his plates will pop off, and he will explode.
Chilli Billi    Chilli Willy	Hailfire Peaks	Two dragon brothers who live on each summit of their respective climate-related mountain. Loves pizza.	There are four cannons located on each mountain top. Get behind one and shoot as many eggs (flame eggs for Chilly Willy, ice for Chilli Billy) as possible into the back of the cannon. You should get a minimum of 2 hits per cannon before the dragons attack.   Each cannon can only fire a certain amount of shots. Once it is finished, the player must dodge the dragon's attacks and travel to the nearest available one. Fire more shots into a cannon, and eventually, the dragon should go down. Go to the other mountain and repeat the process for the faster, stronger dragon.   NOTE: It does not matter which dragon you choose first, it will always be the weakest first.
Mingy Jongo	Cloud Cuckooland	A robotic impostor of Mumbo Jumbo. Lives in one of the two skulls on the map: randomly chosen for each new game.	Mingy will shoot energy balls at you that home in on you, dodge these and then his wand will have to recharge. move in to strike Mingy and a slice of skin will come off revealing robotic parts. He will get wise of your technique and begin teleporting across the arena. He will fire 3-5 shots at each loacation, so hurry to strike before he teleports again. 6 strikes and Mingy will malfunction an explode.  NOTE: The boss itself is not hard, but since you are fighting in the upper floor of Mumbo's skull, it is easy to get hit. Do not be frustrated if you die a few times.
Hag 1	Cauldron Keep	The witches' massive drilling machine.	The boss battle is sectioned into 10 tactics followed by a quick quiz and an first-person segment to shoot Grunty. Your results on the quiz determines the speed of Grunty's attacks    Phases The Hag 1 will have 2 lasers out and will spin, jump over them then  prepare to fire at Grunty for 10 hit points down. Now 4 lasers are out, same tactic just more jumping, another FPS segment will ensue and 10 more hits off of Grunty's health. A rocket will fly up, and hit the ground and 4 missiles will fly out in different directions, jump over the explosion and you should dodge all the missiles. Do this 3 times and an opportunity to hit Grunty will occur. 2  rockets, 8 missiles, same tactic, another 10 health points gone. Now Grunty fires up the engine, laser are back, but now Grunty adds a chase segment will the drill. Outrun her and the engine will eventually stall, allowing you to fire a clock-work kazooie agg into the exaust in the back of the Hag 1. Jump above the wire, and dodge any enemies in the Hag 1 while going towards a battery, detonate, and another chance to attack Grunty will follow. Same thing as above, but with 4 lasers. Now it's straight up FPS time, hit Grunty for a total of 30 hit points this round. Grunty sends out some minions, dodge them while aiming for Grunty until only a mere 15 hitpoints are left. Grunty releases a toxic gas, shoot Grunty with eggs as fast as you can before your bubbles are all gone (it is almost crucial to have saved the fish in Spiral Mountain if you haven't by now) At low health, Grunty charges up a super spell, it's faster and stronger, just keep moving while aiming at Grunty. NOTE: It would be optimal to have at LEAST 2 of the honeycomb upgrades from the Honey B before this fight, it is all about endurance in this fight.
