So, You Escaped Mad Monster Mansion? Don’t Celebrate Just Yet…
You made it out of Mad Monster Mansion in Banjo-Kazooie. That’s impressive! That level tests your platforming and patience. You navigated creepy corridors, avoided monstrous furniture, and faced that pesky piano.
Before celebrating, remember that Gruntilda is still out there. You still have Jiggies to collect. The question now is: where to go next after escaping that haunted house?
Fear not, explorer! The next destination is the industrial nightmare called Rusty Bucket Bay. It’s not easy, but you’ll find your way.
Rusty Bucket Bay: Prepare for a Change of Scenery (and Smells)
Yes, you heard right. From spooky mansions to a rusty, polluted bay. Rusty Bucket Bay trades ghosts for gears and industrial hazards. This level tests your skills for tight spaces, avoiding toxic waste, and maybe holding your breath.
Getting to Rusty Bucket Bay: It’s All About the Little House
Accessing Rusty Bucket Bay isn’t easy. You won’t just walk up to a big sign. This is Banjo-Kazooie. Expect puzzles or quirky detours. In this case, you have a mix of both.
Here’s how to reach Rusty Bucket Bay after Mad Monster Mansion:
- Exit Mad Monster Mansion Properly: Don’t warp out or restart in frustration. Exit through the main entrance. This way you’ll end up in the right place on Spiral Mountain.
- Find the Small House with the Hole: Look for the cute little house near Mad Monster Mansion’s entrance. It resembles a fairy tale gone wrong. It has an unconventional doorway, less of a door and more of a hole.
- Mumbo Jumbo to the Rescue (Again): Head to Mumbo’s hut. You know the drill. He will be critical for this detour. Visit him and ask for help.
- Pumpkin Power!: Mumbo will turn you into a pumpkin. Yes, a pumpkin. Don’t ask why. As a pumpkin, you fit through the hole in the little house.
- Enter the House as a Pumpkin: Navigate your pumpkin-self through the hole in the door. It may feel undignified for a bear and bird duo, but it’s necessary.
- The Water Level Switch: Your Gateway to Grime: Inside the house, you’ll find the water level switch. This switch unlocks Rusty Bucket Bay. Give it a solid nudge and prepare for the industrial wasteland.
Now you’re on the way to Rusty Bucket Bay. Expect oil slicks, crabs, and new platforming challenges. Just avoid breathing deeply; the air quality is questionable.
Good luck! Don’t get rusty out there!
