Grunty Industries, the sprawling and giant factory that belches out toxic fumes and pollutes the surrounding worlds, is the sixth world in Banjo-Tooie. Located in the Quagmire of Isle O’ Hags, it is a forbidding place, surrounded by a toxic purple swamp that can harm unwary adventurers. The entrance is secured by a massive gate that requires a switch to be pressed in order to get inside the factory. The switch is located outside the factory and once activated, it opens the gate to the Train Station, which is inside the building. From there players have to take Old King Coal’s Chuffy to get inside the building. Once inside Grunty Industries, players must navigate a maze of rooms and passages, using the Split Up Pads to separate Banjo and Kazooie, allowing them to activate two switches simultaneously and open the main entrance of the factory. Along the way, players can seek out Jamjars, who will teach them new abilities to help them on their journey. These abilities include Banjo’s Snooze Pack, which allows him to sleep and regain health points, Leg Spring, which enables him to jump higher, and the Claw Clamber Boots, which are necessary to access the upper floors of the factory. On the first floor of the factory, players will find Humba Wumba, who can transform Banjo and Kazooie into a washing machine, allowing them to access previously unreachable areas. They can also use the washing machine to clean the uniforms of the six Skivvies, earning themselves a valuable Jiggy. On the third floor, players will find Mumbo’s Skull, which can be used to disable generators, granting access to areas like Clinker’s Cavern and the Repair Depot. To gain access to Grunty Industries, players must first collect twenty-eight Jiggies and complete the puzzle challenge in Jiggywiggy’s Temple. It is only then that they can brave the hazardous landscape surrounding the factory and enter its forbidding doors. Once inside, they will face numerous challenges and obstacles as they seek to navigate its complex interior and uncover its secrets.
» Shortcuts in Grunty Industries
Grunty Industries doesn’t feature any real shortcuts that would lead the player to another world of the game. However, it’s possible to enter some pipes, where the player can either find a switch at the end or a rare collectible like a Jiggy. As soon as a pipe got entered the background music changes to the basement version of Grunty Industries, while the entire environment is changing as well. In Jolly Roger’s Lagoon, the player can find the first pipe and is located above the pool of Piggles and Trotty. To get inside, he must learn the Bill Drill technique from Jamjars in the game’s second world Glitter Gulch Mine and use it on the loose platform that is on the top side of the big pipe. Inside the pipe, there is a switch at the end that the player can press with Kazooie’s Beak Buster technique to stop the pipe from polluting the water of the pool, and is one of two required steps to get the Jiggy from Piggles and Trotty. The second pipe is located in Hailfire Peaks on the Icy Side and can be entered once the player has learnt Banjo’s Shack Pack technique. It allows him to squeeze inside a small hole of the yellow crane’s pipe and enter the Waste Disposal Plant that is located in the basement of Grunty Industries. By continue following the pipe the player will find a Jiggy at the end, which he could see before behind a window but couldn’t pick up.
