INTRODUCTION


I am Gruntilda Winkybunion! The prettiest wrench in all of Spiral Mountian and Isle o' Hags! Look at me! Ain't I a beauty?

I am so much prettier than Tooty! I would have been if it wasn't for that dumb bear and bird! Now watch as I take to the skies to seek their hoard!

I'll get revenge just wait and see! Whether I have to wait until Tooie or Threeie!

I have 3 sisters Brentilda, Mingella, and Blobbeda! I wouldn't say they look so dandy!

I use to have a boyfriend named Undead Ed! He abandoned me for some stupid shed!

I own a Industry so big and large! Yet no one seems to be in charge!




POTENTIAL SPECIALS AND FINAL SMASH



With my Neutral Special I can summon a spell! Charge it up, and it'll go boom! Charge it up to max and it will go kablooey!

My Side Special is just me and Broomy flying across the stage! We'll run over you over a hour a day!

My Down Special is my magic barrier of defense! It will absorb and reflect any lite thread!

Spoiler

Spoiler: Old Up Special recovery idea

My Up Special/Recovery is me flying straight up through the sky with Broomy! I hope you don't have a date or else say bye Louie!

Planet Cool came up with this plan! He sure knows how to cook up a idea! I transform into my ghost form for my Up B/Recovery! I disappear and vanish like Dexter's Laboratory!

[JamesDNaux]

I was starting to think I'd have to take matters into my own hand, glad someone else did the deed, running another thread I couldn't stand.

No problem. I wanted to make this thread for awhile but didn't really think about doing it until Sephiroth was announced since he broke the "No unique non Echo secondary 3rd party rep" fan rule.

 

[JamesDNaux]

It's a shame Grunty support will never reach Banjo's height, the witch in Smash would be a true delight.

Should bear and bird get a new game, her chances would surely rise with her fame.

 

[Mamboo07]

She would be pretty cool to see in Smash, I support!

Also, I imagine her having something like Palutena's Guidance but with Grunty mocking the fighters while rhyming.

I just added you to the support list. And yeah, It would be lovely to get a Grunty Codex with all the rhyming works.

 

[JamesDNaux]

I'm not on the list, that can't be, how could you forget about little old me?

 

[RetrogamerMax]

I'm not on the list, that can't be, how could you forget about little old me?

Gruntilda: You didn't ask which is why I didn't listed! I will add you now since you insisted!

 

[Blankiturayman]

Coming in to support the old witch, even if her chances may be as small as an inch.

 

[BravadoMan_13]

Gruntilda is in my top 10 most wanted characters for Smash, she should join this bash! She would be a fun character to play, I take more villains in this roster any day! With a raise of my fist, I request to be added to the support list!

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

For Grunty, I definitely show my support. To Smash she be added, I say at the court.

Gruntilda: I added you just now, isn't that grand! Soon we'll have a hip hop band!

 

[StrangeKitten]

She's one of few female villain options, which is unique! We don't have any female super heavies (though Samus comes close), also unique! She'd be a mage, which is a type of fighter we could really use more of. We have Zelda, kinda Hero, kinda Palutena, and that's pretty much it. So that's why I think she'd be an excellent addition! I doubt we'll get her in Ultimate, seeing how she's a background cameo and well, a second BK character is highly unlikely in general. But I think she'd be one of the best characters to add to a future Smash title. Add me to the support list!

: You didn't ask to be added, but you did say I was your most wanted! And for that I put you on the support list among the haunted!

 

[Enigma735]

Its very unlikely that we'll get another Banjo character for Ultimate, but I would absolutely love to see her join Smash one day. She's definitely one of my favorite video game villains for sure. Definitely support!

[smash puffle]

I support. thats all i can say cant think of any clever rhymes lol

: Thank you so much for the support! Now I'll make sure we won't get a divorce!

 

[TheZoologist]

Gruntilda Winkybunion, as I live and breathe!
No villain is more worthy to be in Smash than she!
Her spells, her rhymes, her cackling laugh!
All iconic and memorable as her pointy witchy hat!

Gruntilda would make a perfect addition to Smash alongside such iconic video game villains and antagonists as Bowser, Ganondorf, Ridley, King K. Rool, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Star Wolf, Dark Samus, Mewtwo, Wario, Bowser Jr. & the Koopalings, Piranha Plant, and Sephiroth! The only other villains more worthy of inclusion than her would be the Doctors Robotnik/Eggman & Wily! After that, she'd be fair game! I imagine she'd be amongst the heaviest and slowest of fighters in Smash. She obviously makes up for it with tremendous firepower via her spells and tricks.

I imagine she'd have a great variety of skins and alternate costumes to choose from, including her skeletal form from Banjo-Tooie, Mecha-Gruntilda from Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, and even her Robo-Skeleton suit from Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts n' Bolts!

I would love for her to bring more Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, and even Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts n' Bolts music!
Gruntilda's Lair remixed, the Final Battle theme from Banjo-Kazooie, the Hag-1 theme, the rest of Banjo-Tooie's boss battle themes, and Grapplin' with Grunty from Nuts n' Bolts. And me personally, I think the Gruntilda's Lair entrance from Banjo-Kazooie with her portrait in the back would be an incredible battleground setting for Smash. It'd be awesome if it transitioned to Gruntilda's Furnace Fun and the Final Battle atop the Tower would be wonderful.

Sign me up for both her and Mumbo Jumbo's inclusion in Smash someday ^^

: On to the support list you go! Watch as I round y'all up in a row!

 

[CosmicQuark]

I already thought she had a good moves list, but the ones you made make it even harder to resist! While I don't see her showing up in this game, perhaps one day she could lay her claim. Had things been different, and the duo were in Melee, by this game she'd already be out to play. You can put me down as a supporter! So that Banjo & Kazooie can once again thwart her.

: Grunty will put you on the support today! But first you'll have to become my minion to keep the bear and bird at bay!

 

[Planet Cool]

Oh snap! I was just thinking today that it'd be nice if Banjo fans rallied behind another Banjo-Kazooie character, like Gruntilda or Mumbo. I'm 100% in support of Grunty.

I have a couple of ideas. I think her up-B in the OP could be a little better. It's basically the same as her side-B. What if instead of that, she transforms into her purple ghost form from Grunty's Revenge and teleports like Zelda or Mewtwo?

For her stage, her lair is great, but I'd prefer something far away from Spiral Mountain, since that's already so faithfully represented. I vote for Grunty Industries. I'm sure Sakurai could do something cool with the security cameras and Tintop drones.

This. Her cyborg form from Nuts & Bolts is my favorite look for her, personally.

: Brilliant idea for the Up B I kid you not! I'll put it in the OP and credit you a lot! I'll recruit you to my ranks! And you'll be a soldier in my one of my tanks!

[Planet Cool]

Plenty of good ideas there. I especially love that she turns into Sexy Grunty for her victory screen. Kinda feels like her tilts and maybe even her jabs should incorporate magic too, though.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

: If you browse Mr. Sakurai's Twitter today, you'll find something quite neat! Seeing such a lovely wench being featured is a most delectable treat!

[fogbadge]

for a reveal trailer music is suppose the obvious choices would be gruntilda's lair or one of the final boss themes but i feel it would be more in tone with the games if the music was tower of tragedy or grunty's furnace fun

 

[Planet Cool]

Grunty's Furnace Fun is an excellent fit for a reveal trailer, yeah. Either that or Fun N' Games from Banjo-Tooie (which should've totally gotten a remix, possibly instead of Vs. Klungo, imho).

Also, if Grunty gets in someday, I hope she brings a deluxe Mumbo costume for the Mii Swordfighter. We really should've gotten some nice Banjo-Kazooie costumes when the bear and bird themselves joined.

: It's weird how Banjo & Kazooie got no Banjo-Kazooie Mii costumes of Mumbo, Jinjo, and lovely old me in their wave! While blockhead got Mii costumes from Minecraft all night and day! Surely I would have made a lovely Mii costume don't you think?! It's a shame that didn't happen and my Mii costume went down the sink!

Nah Grunty still working for this Game Dude or where you released to make your job in smash

why would that matter for smash? shes got her body back as well

: I never worked for that silly robot as you can tell I'm hot! I defeated the dumb bear and bird and stole Tooty's beauty, so now I'm quite the cutie! But joking aside, me working for that robot shouldn't effect my chances of appearing in Smash! As technically, Smash isn't canon so let's get on with the bash!

 

[CheeseAnton]

Gruntilda seems like she could be fun, but it seems like she wouldn't wield a gun!
So unfortunately you'll get no support from me; Kidding, get that darn Bear and Kazooie.

Add me in R RetrogamerMax ! Everyone needs to have their nemesis, and Banjo-Kazooie is no exeption! Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with the franchise, so that is all I can say... for now.
