History VideoGame / BanjoKazooieGruntysRevenge

''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge'' is a PlatformGame developed by Creator/{{Rare}} (and published by Creator/{{THQ}}) that released on the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance in 2003. The third game in the ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' series, the title is an {{Interquel}} set shortly after [[BigBad Gruntilda's]] defeat in ''Banjo-Kazooie'' but before her revival in ''VideoGame/BanjoTooie.'' Being on a handheld system, the game is much smaller in scale in comparison to the console entries, but manages to maintain much of the series' trademark style and feel.

* CanonDiscontinuity: ''Grunty's Revenge'', while originally meant to be an alternate follow-up directly from the first game, has since become an interquel, set between ''Kazooie'' and ''Tooie''. Despite this, it and ''Banjo Pilot'' are not acknowledged in ''Nuts & Bolts'', which Microsoft identifies as the third game in the series. According to ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooieNutsAndBolts'' on the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}}, ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Banjo-Tooie'' are the characters' only previous adventures. Banjo Land, a museum-themed level from the same game that features several props and characters from the UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo 64}} games, also has nothing from ''Grunty's Revenge''. In the "L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges" DLC, Kazooie describes the amount of games in the series as being "at least three".

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* DistressBall: Kazooie, in the very beginning of the game. It's actually the result of time travel. [[TimeyWimeyBall You have to rescue her (and a bunch of other trapped Breegulls) from the second level before you can use her powers. Even the manual says "She just wants to get back to her best friend and back to kicking Grunty's butt."

Sadly, the game came out after Microsoft's purchase of Rare in 2001 and suffered from poor marketing issues, resulting in many fans of the series being unaware of its existence. That being said, even fans that are aware of the game tend to overlook it, while most critics are of the opinion that it's merely SoOkayItsAverage.

* OneHundredPercentCompletion: ''Grunty's Revenge'' sits somewhere in the middle between ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Banjo-Tooie'', requiring 50 of the game's 60 Jiggies and 470 of 600 notes to reach the final boss. Collecting all the Jiggies gets you a [[MultipleEndings good ending]], but collecting the rest of the collectibles only changes your star rating on the ending screen.

%%* EternalEngine: Freezing Furnace.
* FireIceLightning: In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge,'' you have Fire, Ice, and Battery eggs.
* FishingMiniGame: The first one has Banjo using grass to lure sheep out of a sheep dip. Later games have a more-traditional usage of fish.

* GoodEnding: Achieved by collecting all the jiggies. [[spoiler:Banjo decides to call up Mumbo Jumbo and Bottles for a (ill-fated) card game later. Otherwise, Mumbo's time-travel magic goes wrong and ends up creating temporal clones of Banjo.]]
* GottaCatchEmAll: Typical of a Banjo game. There are 60 jiggies and 600 musical notes to find in all. Furthermore, each level has five Jinjos and seven level-specific doodads to find, ranging from baby chicks to gold nuggets.
