A puzzle before the wicked witch

This series is a best and favourites of picks for games to play on the Nintendo 64.
Starting it off with Banjo Kazooie as a tribute to my father, whom passed away November 2021 and this game was one of his favourites from back in the day. Roughly 19 or 20 years ago which we all played a lot of and loved.

Next in the series is likely to be Pokemon Stadium 1 as a massive favourite, which will see me go through the gym leader castle and likely also the pokemon cups to beat them.
This won't be for a few weeks though as I got to get around to playing it still.

I use the bee from Click Clock Wood to grab the outside jiggy piece before moving on to the start of Gruntilda's game show, required to be beaten in order to face off against her.

So this game show being held requires some saving and loading using states so I am not stuck spending a long time on it, due to mistakes.
Getting something wrong will hurt you and you will have to keep being careful, but it is definitely a fun time to test your knowledge and skills.

I get some questions wrong and have a tough time with the bees, I load the saved state multiple times to lessen the blow to the health even though I don't like doing so.

Keep watching as I continue through the different questions, pass the skull squares and defeat this game show and finally reach Gruntilda!
You do have to go through the first ending scene until they realised it isn't over yet...

After filling up my items I head on up to the final showdown!
Dodging Gruntilda a few times allows you to hit her while her broomstick is conked out, I do get hit a couple of times though in this phase and then from the next spell she throws at me.

Next part involves shooting eggs at Gruntilda to move her onto phase 3..
This one involves taking to the skies to go head on as you beak bomb charge at her, being carefuly to not do what I do once and end up dead haha!

Final phase is the jinjo phase, requiring shooting eggs into the statues so they can help you to defeat her once and for all.
Finally with the big middle jinjo released you have defeated Gruntilda and finished Banjo Kazooie!
