Banjo-Kazooie Walkthrough Part 23: Insane Game

Ahhhh Grunty's Furnace Fun... A roadblock for many players because it's difficult to remember every little aspect of the entire game. Luckily you don't have to as it's possible to get by taking "some" damage here and there. But if you forgot most of the game, this will cause a lot of ire. that's pretty common with new players of this game because who would have thought you'd have to know the game THIS well to beat it? XD Plus the longer it takes you to beat the game, the easier it is to forget details on it in general, especially on earlier worlds.

Tips:
●Questions and games are randomized so don't expect to get the same one on the same space twice!
●Picking one out of a multiple choice thing is better than none if you don't know because the timer running out is guaranteed damage.
●Get Joker cards to let you skip the riskiest spaces.
●Try to take the least-risk routes around in general. It's possible to beat this game without having to play any death spaces if you get all the 4 Joker cards around the route I did as there's only 4 death spaces on that route. I failed to get two so I had to play two of them. "But" I could have tried for two more near the start. ;P
●Don't go through spaces you don't have to unless they can lead to Joker cards. The whole board game is one big risk after all because even regular quiz/game spaces take 1 from your health if you flub it.
●Don't be tempted to get extra lives, they're as useless as ever because if you die (or leave the room) you start from the beginning of the game anyway. XD

If you were curious as to how massive the possible question list is, you can go here to read through a complete list of them:

... yeah, it's a lot! So looking at a list doesn't really help here because there's a lot to sift through in a short time.

If you'd like, you can view a map of the board if you are having trouble visualizing it in first person view here:

See the joker cards just left of the first split? Those are the ones I could have gone back to get. But you may or may not get them anyway and take damage along the way depending on how much knowledge of the game you have.
