Hailfire Peaks is the seventh world in the game Banjo-Tooie, which can be accessed through the hub world Isle O’ Hags. It’s a fascinating location that comprises of two distinct regions, including the Lava Side and the Icy Side. Upon arrival, Banjo and Kazooie will encounter a dragon on each side, who will start firing at them after a specific time period until the dragon of the current side is defeated. The Colosseum situated on the right side of the world entrance offers a diverse range of rooms, such as the Train Station and the Kickball Stadium. The latter presents players with an opportunity to take part in the finals of the Kickball Tournament, albeit the Stony transformation is required to partake. Utilizing a shortcut found inside the Colosseum, players can access Stony Banjo from Mayahem Temple and bring it to Hailfire Peaks, after blowing up a cracked wall with Grenade Eggs. The Icy Side is located on the other side of the Lava Side, and is the antithesis of the former. Everything is frozen and slippery here, making it a challenging location for players to navigate. Within this region, players can find small caves such as the Icicle Grotto, which is home to many rare collectibles. Additionally, they can explore Boggy’s new Igloo, where he has gained some extra weight compared to the previous game due to his laziness. Jamjars, a mole who aids the duo throughout the game, teaches players two new moves in Hailfire Peaks. The Shack Pack allows Banjo to squeeze into tight spaces, while Kazooie gains the Glide technique, enabling her to fly without consuming Red Feathers. In order to gain entry to the world Hailfire Peaks, players have to unlock the entrance door, which is found on an island in the Cliffside of Isle O’ Hags. This can be achieved by collecting thirty-six Jiggies and completing the picture challenge inside the Jiggywiggy Temple. Hailfire Peaks is also home to Mumbo Jumbo’s Skull on the Lava Side where the pink shaman can be used on a pad to repair the rails in the Train Station that was destroyed by Gruntilda. On the Icy Side, players can find Humba’s Wigwam, where they can transform into a snowball, allowing them to activate rusty switches and restore health by rolling in the snow.
» Shortcuts in Hailfire Peaks
In the Hailfire Peaks level, there are several shortcuts that Banjo and Kazooie can use to access other worlds. These shortcuts offer a convenient way for players to move between levels without having to backtrack through previously explored sections. One of the shortcuts is located in the Kickball Stadium Lobby, which is inside the huge Colosseum on the Lava Side. In order to access this shortcut, players must shoot a Grenade Egg at a cracked wall inside the Colosseum. This will open a passage to the Kickball Stadium in Mayahem Temple, which is otherwise inaccessible in the game. To participate in the finals of the Kickball Tournament and earn a Jiggy, players must turn Banjo and Kazooie into a Stony using Humba’s transformation service and return to Hailfire Peaks using the unlocked shortcut. Another shortcut can be found in the lower pool of hot water on the Lava Side. After pressing a switch on the ground as Banjo, a door inside the pool will open and drain the warm water into the pool of Piggles and Trotty in Jolly Roger’s Lagoon. The piglets will reward players with a rare Jiggy for helping them out. While it’s possible to enter other worlds through Hailfire Peaks, players can only access a very small part of those worlds. On the Icy Side of Hailfire Peaks, players can find a huge Oil Drilling Machine, which requires them to use Humba Wumba’s Snowball transformation to press a switch on the ground. This will open up a passage through which players can collect a Jiggy. Additionally, players can enter a small cave on the Icy Side by making it through the Stomping Plains of Terrydactyland with Banjo, where they can pick up a Jiggy. Another small cave can be entered on the Icy Side through the game’s second world Glitter Gulch Mine in the Waterfall Cavern. Here, players can find the Frozen Vault containing the rare Mega Glowbo, which can be unlocked using the Ice Key from the Stop ‘n’ Swop series.
