LEVEL 2: FUNGUS FOREST

Just as I said, I sliced this lengthy area in twain. Here's Banjo and Kazooie's part of the level, but first a mini-cut scene.

Mumbo: Phew! What a long run Mumbo do to find Banjo!

Banjo: Why did you need us, Mumbo?

Mumbo: Mumbo must warn bear and bird of terrible danger! Very terrible! So terrible, in fact, it give terrible bad name! SO TERRIBLE, in fact, it even-

Kazooie: Spit it out, pudgy! I ain't got all day!

Mumbo: Klungo return with new plot! Take over galaxy! Bad!

Kazooie: ENGLISH, please?

Banjo: I think he said he dropped his diaper in Klungo's nose-warmer.

Kazooie: I think Mumbo's English is getting worse! I could already barely make out what he said in Kazooie or Tooie, but this is-

Banjo: Hey! And you yell at ME for breaking the fourth wall!

Mumbo: Klungo want to take over whole galaxy!

Kazooie: Oh! He's Taking over the-

Banjo: Oh, I get it! You dropped it in his SOCK, not his nose-warmer!

Kazooie: Let me talk, you lardy dunce! Klungo's gonna bring the galaxy to its knees!

Banjo: I could have told you that!

Kazooie: Suuuure…

Back to Fungus Forest. Run up ahead from the end of Mumbo's area as Banjo and Kazooie. You will collect a new item called a Jiggy. Defeat 2 mushroom boar monsters (called Shroom Hogs), jump two spike pits, clobber 10 more Shroom Hogs, beat up 4 of the Mini-Klungos, and find a new mole hill.

Bottles: Who wants to be immortal?

(Banjo raises his hand)

Banjo: I do! I do!

(Kazooie shakes her head and Bottles continues talking.)

Bottles: With a special move called the Wonderwing, nothing can harm you! Use Golden Breegul Feathers as a power source. Simply crouch with Z and hit LEFT-Cto activate. Keep holding the crouch button to continue, but beware as your feathers will drain.

Take 50 golds from the mole and move along. 3 armoured Shroom Hogs drop from the trees and come to attack you. Wonderwing them to death and run along a new path with 7 golds on it. A huge, rock-hard mushroom lies in front of a tall ledge. Go to the mole-hill to your right and talk to Bottles once more.

Bottles: Heavy items like this mighty mushroom can be pushed around. Go behind the item and move the control stick forward.

Kazooie: I'm glad I'm in Banjo's pack right now!

Bottles: Of course, you can always get this R3 to move it too!

Kazooie: Who are you calling an R3, you R3?!

Bottles: You, RS3!

Banjo: Enough with the language! Let's get moving!

Bottles: Wait! Is that a Jiggy you have, Banjo? You can use the Jiggy magic to track Klungo's lab and follow him into Era!

Push the mushroom over to the ledge, hop on, and hop off again right to the top of the ledge. 5 armoured Mini-Klungos run towards you. Use your feathers on them. Stop when you come across a huge ocean. Run to the mole hill to the right.

Bottles: Banjo! Use caution when going past that water gate! Blib-Blub, the Ocean Lord, has taken over Fungus Forest's waters a riddled all of it with evil poison mushrooms. What's worse, he's gotten his pet megaladon, Neptunes, to guard the waters! Use this Bubble Blaster for underwater combat. You'll need it for a boss fight against Neptunes Megaladon!

Kazooie: A BOSS FIGHT?!

Bottles: Sheesh, you make it sound life-threatening or something! Anyway, push the R button to launch bubbles from your gun. Good luck! You'll need it!

Kazooie: ULP! Bottles said we need LUCK to pull through!

Banjo: And the GOOD variety at that!

Kazooie: Uuh…yeah….

Dive into the water. Use the Bubble Blaster to destroy the gate blocking the way. Blast 8 evil mushrooms with your gun and swim along to find a long row of geysers. They fire in patterns. Time it correctly and you'll get to the other side safely. 6 armoured Mini-Scuba-Klungos come after you. You can't use breegul feathers in water! Lure them to the geysers. Blast through another gate and swim down a tunnel. This ends the level.

Banjo: Oooh! The suspense!
