Hints & Tips

Beating Bees
Use the Wonderwing move the gold feather invincibility to hit a bee hive. As long as the Wonderwing is active, the bees will instantly die when they do attack.

Beating Snowmen
Use this trick to kill the snowball-throwing snowmen with no flight pads close by. Go up to one of the snowmen so you are almost touching him, then Talon Trot away fast. He will not throw a snowball at you for two to five seconds. Snowmen do not throw snowballs at you when you are next to or in front of them.

Freezy Peak: Present locations
The presents can be found at these locations:

Inside the big Christmas tree with the Twinklies near it.

On the giant snowman's nose.

Climb down from the location for the snowman's nose present. Go down the scarf that is not that steep. When you reach the bottom, slide down the steepest hill. The last present is on a small "island" that is surrounded by ice.

Mad Monster Mansion: Hidden room
Just go to the graveyard and walk around until you see a window with Banjo-Kazooie's picture on it. Now break the window to find dozens of eggs and feathers.

Mad Monster Mansion: Defeating the green ghosts
In order to kill the green ghosts in Mad Monster Mansion, run into them using Wonderwing. They will give you one Honey Comb.

Beating Gruntilda
When DingPot takes you to the roof of the lair, Grutilda will say another rhyme about winning, then she will swoop down and try to dive bomb you. When you hear her laugh, move out of the way as far as you can. She will keep doing this. When her broom stalls, Rat-a-Tat-Rap her. Each time you do so, she will fire a fireball. Zig-zag to dodge them. Redo this until she throws a ball that homes in on you. When you hear the whirring sound become invincible. Note: She will dive more times the more you hit her.

Get moving unless you want Grunty to run you down early. When you see a green pinwheel-shaped spell or when you hear the sound it makes, become invincible to lose it. Lose a few eggs but not too many, as you will need them really soon. Bottles will help you get airborne for a little dog fighting. Do not waste time or ammo getting through Grunty's protective spell. Instead, fire eggs into the holes of the Jinjo statues to activate them. The last one will knock Grunty off her broomstick. A giant statue will then appear in the center of the arena. It will take three eggs in each slot to activate it. If things get hard with Grunty's spells, then use invulnerability. The giant Jinjo hammers Grunty into submission and she will make one final lunge at you.

When you are fighting Grunty, free the four Jinjo statues. Her broom will then break. Then, the giant statue will appear. Use the Gold Feathers to push Grunty off. Her shield will be visible, but jump into her when you cannot see it. She will not fall. She will still aim the fireballs at you. Free the statue and watch Grunty fall off into the air.

When you first battle Gruntilda, she starts to ram into you. After two times she will stop. Use this chance to attack her. Do this again. After that it will take three times before she stops. Attack her again, then next time it will be four times before she stops. After another attack, she will go to a ledge and fire spells. Get as many gold feathers as you can and use them as you get there. Jump on the ledge and fire eggs at her one at a time. Then use the gold feathers between shots. She will move. Redo this four times. On the third time, shoot three eggs at her all at once then use the gold feathers once again. Do this in the fourth time also. She will now fly. Grab the honey comb piece she dropped and use the fly pad to catch her. When she stops to fire her spells, beak-bomb her. Keep doing this four or five times, but try to dodge the spells also. She will then make a shield to protect herself. Fire three eggs in the holes in the Jinjo statues then use your gold feathers again. Do this three more times then you will have to release the Jinjonator. Avoid her blasts, then use your wonder wing to deflect her aiming spell. She will stop fbriefly giving you time to put five eggs in one hole. Do this four more times to beat her.

Bubble Gloop Swamp: Get across the green ooze
When you reach Bubble Gloop Swamp you will notice it is hard to get across the green ooze it has piranha. Find the boots when you step into the first room. You will go to the side where a weird part of the door appears. Run along the side and stay away from the piranha. Bottles will be waiting for you at the end. He will teach you how to use the boots. Note: The boots only last 20 seconds.
