You know what I find unique about this music? Most epic final bosses almost always have organ or a choir but this one is still really epic yet it has almost every instrument except organ or a choir.
You cannot recreate the feeling when you for the first time ever launched yourself up with Dingpot to Gruntilda, and this masterpiece started playing, starting the grand finale.
One of the best last boss themes ever created, even the soundtrack in the whole game is the best, truly a masterpiece, and one of the best. Why can't they make soundtracks and boss battle theme like this anymore? It fucking plays with your immersion and emotion to just say it reaaaaaaaaaaaaly fucking careful. Grant knew how to make game music, and he still does, the man is an pioneer in gaming music, and he should teach people how to make really good game music, and i believe he have, with thing of the influence he made over the last 25 years or so, players are influenced by it. Grant is the former Rareware, and he always will be, because he is 50% of the classics we listened to, just by implacing the godamn music. Sorry about my emotional writing, i doubt that anyone will read this, cause most of you are here to listen to the best gaming music ever made. But if you do, you know why you are here, and so am i. -Tomatopower
Loved this battle and the music is perfect for it. The fast pace gives the feeling of "this is it" you know this is the final battle, and ominous orchestra brings a sense of dread and the scope of Grunty's power despite her prior silliness, she's not pulling *any* punches and is gonna destroy you if you're not careful and keep moving, with segments that are remixes of the other levels' tracks which gives a feel of remembering everything you've learned up to this point to win. Seriously, this is easily the most epic final battle in the classic RARE games for me.

The Nintendo 64 game console always did have THE BEST music themes! Just listen to ALL the different musical elements! A symphony of true art at its finest! Bravo Nintendo!
If you're a serious fan of music from video games, I reccomend expanding your search... There are plenty of amazing concertos out there. For instance, the Ranger's theme from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
In the thumbnail theres an unused thing that the level called mad monster mansion was the final boss place but it was replaced with the top of gruntys lair
A game that will be remembered through out the ages One of the finest and well crafted video games ever made It's sad to see how Rareware is now starting to slowly fade If they do however, know this, games like this will forever stay If only rare will once remember and change their ways The creation of Banjo and Kazooie Nuts & Bolts Who ever designed that travesty...is a real dolt
This boss was so damn hard! When I finally got the Jinjonator out of his block, I screamed "YES!" at the top of my lungs. This theme is really epic now that I listen to it though. Brings back some Jinjonating memories. Good thing that last spell didn't hit me!
They made a remix of some pieces of the game and made it sound epic. THIS is the meaning of boss music itself! It's the thrill, memories of every level because of the music, all you've gone through, now facing the final boss! Truly amazing, this feeling.
This and all of Rare's other games on the N64 like Conker's Bad Fur Day and DK64 had distinctive graphics, sound and music that I still remember to this day. They have this sort of charm on me that videogames today fail to reproduce. Just goes to show how good these games were. Thanks so much for uploading and making me reminisce of the good times! ^_^
Ian 64 aaah I wish they could somehow manage to put him in super smash but unfortunately, Banjo Kazooie no longer belongs to rareware, or Nintendo should I say. it was bought by Microsoft *sigh* I don't see how they can do this.
bibichillieblue They managed to put Solid Snake into smash and he doesn't belong to nintendo anymore. Besides, no matter what mircosoft does to them, Banjo and Kazooie will always be known as classic NINTENDO characters.
Oh you remembered! Well said man. Man the boss battle mirrored the entire game. It was long, hard at times, challenging, tedious and even a little frustrating but still fun and really awesome =D
I beat this game last month. I originally got it for my 7th birthday. (I'm 17 now.) I played this game a ridiculous amount. I got the game for XBLA, and that's where I ended up beating it. Took me a decade. But beating this game was probably the best I've ever felt finishing a game.
Grunty's Lair is forever stuck in my mind, out of all the reasons there is only one I can find. There are so many different versions of this song, even the music of the final battle was Grunty's Lair all along!
Uh... I don't know why, but listening to this, I had chills go down my back. It's surprising when you stop and think about how much effort was put into the music in the BK games.
I'm now almost convinced that Rare makes their music by joining together tunes and snippets from some sort of internal sample library and putting them all in the same key.
Banjo-Kazooie is one the best games I've ever played. I loved this fight and it was hard, but not as hard as the quiz game you had to beat before doing the final boss battle.
God this song is great. I mean, just alone Grunty's theme is pure epicness, but the way that this song adapts and changes it into a tense - never repetative amazing duel between the forces of good and evil is just fantastic. Only the Golden-Age Rare (1990-2000's) could design a character revealed to be foolish, humourous and with a rhyming dialect and then make her so scary and intimidating in a fight on top of a tower on the home you've been fighting for.
Man, this takes me back.. I remember the satisfaction of FINALLY reaching Grunty. The game really made you work for it. If I remember correctly, you could only miss like 10 jiggies and less than 100 notes, basically, you had to collect 95% to finish the game. Afterwards, beating her was that much more satisfying. I know there are good games this generation, but this really harkens back to an era of gaming where victory was achieved through real exploration and skill rather than checkpoints.
0:48 is were the epic part begin. Banjo-Kazooie still til this day is one of the best 3d plats you can play and don't even get me started on it's outstanding sequel.
I found it pretty hard. He was swinging around those lightsaber thingies, shooting out streams of thorns and throwing exploding electricity balls as well as shooting those lightsaber thingies and even having a clone do all that stuff too. There's also a very small gap between his attacks.
Oh god now I know what I'm doing tomorrow, playing Banjo-Kazooie. It's been ages since I beat that game, and since I can't re-enter the boss battle, time to hook up the N64 and play through it on one of my unfinished files.
I started screaming at my TV the first time i freed the giant Jinjo for the win XD. something about this game was... just so fun and exhilarating. i wish games nowadays would have the same effect on me.
@jmario232 It takes place 8 years after Tooie, and it's implied that BK and Grunty have been fighting the whole time since. Which means plenty of adventures in between that could be our real Threeie.
I enjoyed Tooie's Tower of Tragedy quiz as well but it still would have been nice to replay Furnace Fun in Kazooie and also there were those timed physical (well for Banjo and Kazooie anyway) puzzle tests that took place in this quiz (though to be honest I found most of those rather annoying in the quiz rather than fun as they were back when in the worlds but it was still cool to see they added more than answering questions) and also your energy bar was involved with that one so *2bcont.*
When I was a kid, I never had the patience to get past Click Clock Wood and collect the notes for the door near it. Then, when I was 10, I picked it up again. I swore at every death, groaned at every missed note, and came close to smashing the game at several points. But I kept going. I opened that door. I beat Furnace Fun and sent Grunty running for the hills. And then came that picture frame. Over and over, I collected Jiggies, watching my nemesis' face grow clearer and clearer. The music wea
I remeber how many times I lost this fight before winning when I first played this game when I was younger. I had to do it without the extra red health bar because I didn't have enough notes for that last note door. I eventually did win though. Its really hard without that extra health bar, I wonder if I could still pull off getting all the notes and Jiggys before this fight still? Because I was able to do it during some of My other playthroughs.
Man, I wish this game had the same feature as Banjo-Tooie in which you could re-fight all the bosses. Because in all honesty, this fight is more fun, the scenery, atmosphere, music and the actual battle is both challenging and choreographed extremely well! The finale is EPIC as well. I tried to stop Gruntilda from actually getting killed a bunch of times, only because I wanted to be able to fight this battle again. So cool...
Imagine the reaction of people if you told them a story of a bear with a chicken on his backpack that brutally killed an evil witch with the help of mystical colorful beings called jinjos, without telling them it is banjo kazooie
I have this as my "5 minutes before bus arrives alarm" lmao
Geeeez
That sounds stressful but that would totally be my kind
It’s my phone ringtone
Haha
Genius
You know what I find unique about this music? Most epic final bosses almost always have organ or a choir but this one is still really epic yet it has almost every instrument except organ or a choir.
That feeling when you finally get all the notes, all the jiggies and take Dingpot's ride to the top.. It's ass-kicking time,Grunty.
:D
You cannot recreate the feeling when you for the first time ever launched yourself up with Dingpot to Gruntilda, and this masterpiece started playing, starting the grand finale.
One of the best last boss themes ever created, even the soundtrack in the whole game is the best, truly a masterpiece, and one of the best.
Why can't they make soundtracks and boss battle theme like this anymore?
It fucking plays with your immersion and emotion to just say it reaaaaaaaaaaaaly fucking careful.

One second after: FUNNY BANJO NOW BITCHES

Loved this battle and the music is perfect for it.

The Nintendo 64 game console always did have THE BEST music themes! Just listen to ALL the different musical elements! A symphony of true art at its finest! Bravo Nintendo!
***** Whoops, need to do more research I guess
If you're a serious fan of music from video games, I reccomend expanding your search... There are plenty of amazing concertos out there. For instance, the Ranger's theme from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
I have to aggre, they are better than actual games ones!
You mean Rare...
Did you notice that Rare is awesome at combining extremely epic music and really goofy music to make amazing songs!
"Listen bear, to this epic song! Think you'll beat Grunty? You're very wrong!"
If a game has an arrangement of "Teddybears' picnic" as the final battle theme, there's no arguing against its badassness.
banjo and kazooie is one of the best games ever
True :D This game is the best
+[Asdf] Gam3r78 yeah
Absolutely epic. Thanks for the music.
And yep, the final battle against Gruntilda is one of the best in Gaming history.
In the thumbnail theres an unused thing that the level called mad monster mansion was the final boss place but it was replaced with the top of gruntys lair
A game that will be remembered through out the ages
One of the finest and well crafted video games ever made
It's sad to see how Rareware is now starting to slowly fade
If they do however, know this, games like this will forever stay
If only rare will once remember and change their ways
The creation of Banjo and Kazooie Nuts & Bolts
Who ever designed that travesty...is a real dolt
This poem defines Rare
the bear and bird at last.
up atop my lair too fast.
this time i say
the battle will go my way!
I can't believe that furry pair, got right up here, its so unfair! But now the stupid bear must fight, this battle will test your skill and might!
@@BoogityMario I don't mean to brag or boast, but after this, you'll both be TOAST!!
if you haven't played this game yet. go try it. the game is amazing in my experience
This boss was so damn hard! When I finally got the Jinjonator out of his block, I screamed "YES!" at the top of my lungs. This theme is really epic now that I listen to it though. Brings back some Jinjonating memories. Good thing that last spell didn't hit me!
They made a remix of some pieces of the game and made it sound epic.
THIS is the meaning of boss music itself! It's the thrill, memories of every level because of the music, all you've gone through, now facing the final boss! Truly amazing, this feeling.
They didn't have to compose a boss theme both catchy and masterful.
But Rare did it anyway, throwback tunes and all instruments harmonize together.
This and the Banjo Tooie final boss music are so epic
this is such an enthralling piece! its amazing that such a light hearted game can instill such a feeling of epicness!
Most epic final battle of my childhood.
0:37-1:00 pure epicness
This boss battle was damn hard. This music made it even more enjoyable, though.
man, this is one of the best final boss fights/tunes ever. that game was so surprisingly great.
Best game even all those 15+ can't compare to the joy of my childhood favourite Banjo Kazooie :)
Oh my god!Do you need a doctor?Your render didnt turn out too good...
XBlade104 hahaha well I grew up with this game. Still fun to me even though I played it for a while :)
I love this game too
This and all of Rare's other games on the N64 like Conker's Bad Fur Day and DK64 had distinctive graphics, sound and music that I still remember to this day. They have this sort of charm on me that videogames today fail to reproduce. Just goes to show how good these games were. Thanks so much for uploading and making me reminisce of the good times! ^_^
Damn... this brings back so many memories... this was SUCH a tough fight...
This fight with Gruntilda was probably one of the greatest, most challenging and epic final battles I've seen in a game.
Grant Kirkhope may honestly be one of the best composers for any video game ever
epic 😄
Quite possibly one of the greatest and most satisfying final bosses I've encountered in a game. Well worth all the effort to reach her.
Man this brings me back :)
jinjonator :)
He is badass
Jinjo!, Jinjo!, Jinjo!, Jinjo!, Jinjo!,
*J I N J O !*
Jinjooooooo!
Banjo For Smash Bros!!! Vote at the ballots
Ian 64 aaah I wish they could somehow manage to put him in super smash but unfortunately, Banjo Kazooie no longer belongs to rareware, or Nintendo should I say. it was bought by Microsoft *sigh* I don't see how they can do this.
bibichillieblue They managed to put Solid Snake into smash and he doesn't belong to nintendo anymore.
Besides, no matter what mircosoft does to them, Banjo and Kazooie will always be known as classic NINTENDO characters.
yeah I suppose they did put sonic too and he always belonged to Sega. I don't know how exactly votes work there.
I thought I was the only one who thought this. glad to see in not. though thered need to be a petition to borrow banjo from Microsoft
I agree! I think BK was way better and popular when it was to Nintendo before
"Hmm, today I'm going to compose a whole-ass symphony."
--Grant Kirkhope on a regular basis (presumably)
Kidding, of course. Brits say "arse."
I've been listening to this track for more than 10 years and still cant see how can a single video game song be so damn epic
GMOD videos? Anyone?
I like garry's mod animations.
But I am here for this wonderful game with such soundtrack.
i beat the game at 100% whit out lose a live
life hehe sorry
Not so hard m8 :P
A honeycomb ?
I just mentioned it. I didn't say that it was hard lol
Same here most times if intentional deaths don’t count
just finished this game yesterday. A badass boss battle to perfectly end a badass game.
This music is surprisingly epic, yet fits perfectly well with this game and what happens in it
Oh you remembered! Well said man. Man the boss battle mirrored the entire game. It was long, hard at times, challenging, tedious and even a little frustrating but still fun and really awesome =D
I beat this game last month. I originally got it for my 7th birthday. (I'm 17 now.) I played this game a ridiculous amount. I got the game for XBLA, and that's where I ended up beating it. Took me a decade. But beating this game was probably the best I've ever felt finishing a game.
Grunty's Lair is forever stuck in my mind,
out of all the reasons there is only one I can find.
There are so many different versions of this song,
even the music of the final battle was Grunty's Lair all along!
I still remember getting to the final battle with my brothers, and the satisfaction of finally beating Grunty. Great times.
MAN I WANNA PLAY THIS AGAIN BY HEARING THIS :(....brings back so many memories...one of my fave games Donkey kong and OOT was good too :) yay for N64
This is among one of the hardest boss battles I've ever faced in my life. Rare sure knew how to make great games back then...
This is the pinnacle of my childhood right here. I almost want to burst into tears of joy! T_T
Whoever DID the music at the old Rareware was awesome. First Donkey Kong Country, then Banjo Kazooie.
Uh... I don't know why, but listening to this, I had chills go down my back. It's surprising when you stop and think about how much effort was put into the music in the BK games.
I'm now almost convinced that Rare makes their music by joining together tunes and snippets from some sort of internal sample library and putting them all in the same key.
this music is awesome!!
I like how this music had the banjo and flute fused in with it aswell.
Epic. makes me shiver
When the kid at the back says the teacher forgot homework
i cant use words to express how i feel!
It's so epic for final battle music
Banjo-Kazooie is one the best games I've ever played. I loved this fight and it was hard, but not as hard as the quiz game you had to beat before doing the final boss battle.
Banjo-Kazooie will always be my favorite game on nintendo 64, it was also my first game when i first got my nintendo 64
I have EXTREME nostalgia when i hear Banjo and Kazooie songs wishing i could be a kid again playing this with my uncle...
God this song is great. I mean, just alone Grunty's theme is pure epicness, but the way that this song adapts and changes it into a tense - never repetative amazing duel between the forces of good and evil is just fantastic. Only the Golden-Age Rare (1990-2000's) could design a character revealed to be foolish, humourous and with a rhyming dialect and then make her so scary and intimidating in a fight on top of a tower on the home you've been fighting for.
And that's what makes it so awesome.
This music is a masterpiece!
that a really good game with good song for this time
Man, this takes me back..

0:48
Banjo and kazooie was my favourite game as a child, I was bordering on the obscene how much I played it.
Excellent composer.
Oh damn. Nostalgia overload.
epicness is not a word
AWSOMENESS!
Man, this song is awesome.
This is one of the better boss battles in video game history!
I found it pretty hard. He was swinging around those lightsaber thingies, shooting out streams of thorns and throwing exploding electricity balls as well as shooting those lightsaber thingies and even having a clone do all that stuff too. There's also a very small gap between his attacks.
Dude, that final battle was so HARD! I didn't think I was ever going to beat that WITCH!
Epic and old school.
This is one of the best, if not the very best, final boss battle songs.
Freaking epic song and battle
This song was amazing, got the adrenline going gooood!....
Oh god now I know what I'm doing tomorrow, playing Banjo-Kazooie. It's been ages since I beat that game, and since I can't re-enter the boss battle, time to hook up the N64 and play through it on one of my unfinished files.
That poem was great
It was top rate
It made me smile
Like a green potion vial!
Undeniably the most epic (and best for that matter) song in whole series.
so much nostalgia
I started screaming at my TV the first time i freed the giant Jinjo for the win XD. something about this game was... just so fun and exhilarating. i wish games nowadays would have the same effect on me.
This was without a doubt the most epic video game final boss of all time.
oh my god. . . a tear run down my face at 2:40
nostalgia is so powerfull. . .
2:40
This is the greatest final battle song I ever heard
Bro this songs a fuckin banger
Awsome this is,
I must thank Grant for this song of his!
@jmario232 It takes place 8 years after Tooie, and it's implied that BK and Grunty have been fighting the whole time since. Which means plenty of adventures in between that could be our real Threeie.
one my favourite final boss :D
I enjoyed Tooie's Tower of Tragedy quiz as well but it still would have been nice to replay Furnace Fun in Kazooie and also there were those timed physical (well for Banjo and Kazooie anyway) puzzle tests that took place in this quiz (though to be honest I found most of those rather annoying in the quiz rather than fun as they were back when in the worlds but it was still cool to see they added more than answering questions) and also your energy bar was involved with that one so *2bcont.*
