Buried under a rock by Banjo and Kazooie in the previous game, Gruntilda the Witch is finally freed by her sister's new machine. Gruntilda wastes no time exacting her revenge, obliterating Banjo's house in the middle of a poker game. Unfortunately, Bottles doesn't believe the warnings to evacuate and is killed in the blast.

Tooie's gameplay is similiar to the first game - a run and bop platformer where you must collect jiggies and notes in order to unlock new areas to explore and conquer. Along the way you will recieve help from Bottle's brother Jamjars in the form of new moves for bear and bird.

Tooie also features new multiplayer modes, ranging from collection competitons to a first person shooter!
