The Candle Form, an outstanding and powerful transformation exclusive to the handheld game Banjo-Kazooie Grunty’s Revenge provides an exciting opportunity to explore the third world, Bad Magic Bayou, in a new light. By defeating Klungo in the Monster Manor and receiving the Mumbo Token, players can transform the protagonists into a burning candle, wearing Banjo’s iconic blue backpack and yellow pants. In addition to its special appearance, the Candle Form also boasts a powerful Flame Roll attack that can deal massive damage to enemies and even defeat nearly invulnerable foes such as Tee-Hee’s. Moreover, it grants the protagonists the ability to enter dark areas such as the Dark Cave located to the right of Mumbo’s Skull. Within the cave, players must navigate the treacherous Creepy Corridors and avoid its dangers in order to reach the Haunted Halls. Here players have to activate the correct purple candles on the ground in each room using the Flame Roll attack before the timer runs out to earn a coveted Jiggy. It is worth noting that the Candle Form is susceptible to contact with liquid surfaces, such as water or the poisonous sea in Bad Magic Bayou. Once this happens, the protagonists will lose their health points and become instantly defeated. However, players must use the Candle Form in a later part of the game in the world Freezing Furnace, where they must use the Flame Roll on an ice cube near Mumbo’s Skull to claim a Jiggy within. While the Candle Form is unique to Banjo-Kazooie Grunty’s Revenge, its exciting gameplay mechanics and puzzle-solving opportunities have left a lasting impression on players. The Candle Form serves as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the developers behind the game, offering such a unique and memorable experience for all players to enjoy.
