"I'll give you a brief rundown on the intro, complete with what we know so far in Banjo-Kazooie:

Last time, on the Banjo Series:

Banjo's little sister Tooty keeps asking Banjo to take her on an "adventure." To shut her up, Banjo says that he'll take her on one the next day. When morning arrives, Banjo was sound asleep. Meanwhile, Gruntilda asks her main cauldron Dingpot who the most prettiest of them all is. It was Dingpot's job to suck up to the hideous wench, but this morning he wasn't in the mood. He told her that the prettiest of them all was a young bear cub named Tooty.
Outraged, Gruntilda knew she had to do something. Klungo was working on a machine that could suck the youthfullness and health from a person and give it to them (since they were getting more and more hideous as the years went by). Grunty decided it was time to put the machine to good use. She called her broomstick and flew off down into Spiral Mountain. Tooty was outside of Banjo's house talking to her good friend Bottles the mole. Suddenly Gruntilda
swept down and grabbed Tooty. Bottles panicked as Kazooie heard the ruckuss outside. Kazooie got Banjo awake and they ran out. After talking to Bottles and hearing what happened, they knew they had to rescue her. First, Bottles had to train Banjo and Kazooie. Bottles was a skilled martial arts master and knew plenty of moves. They trained around Spiral Mountain for awhile, but Bottles decided he would have to keep training them throughout their
adventure. Banjo and Kazooie then went up to the lair and went inside. What followed was a wild adventure going through an assortment of areas beyond portals. To reach these areas, they had to pick up Jiggies (golden puzzle pieces) and Musical Notes (gold shaped as music notes). These were left throughout the worlds and the lair by Gruntilda who needed a backup key to her locked areas in case she couldn't get in herself. After Banjo and Kazooie
finished all the worlds (with the help of Mumbo Jumbo, the same shaman that tought Gruntilda; Bottles; and even Brentilda), B-K found themselves on a huge game board overlooking a pool of lava. Gruntilda had thrust the two into a big trivia gameshow. B-K used the knowledge they had gained throughout their adventure to proceed, and proceed they did. Gruntilda ran off, but they managed to rescue Tooty. They went back to Spiral Mountain to have a
grillout/bear chugging party to celebrate, but Tooty herself ruined the celebration. She reminded them that Gruntilda got away, and they needed to stop her. Banjo and Kazooie then took off back up the lair. When they reached the top, they talked to Dingpot who shot them up to the roof. Up there was waiting Gruntilda, who gave them the fight of their lives. Gruntilda's broomstick even payed the ultimate sacrifice of death. Near the end of the battle,
a large statue rose up. It wasn't a statue though. It was the Jinjonator, the ruler of the Jinjos (the Jinjos were a mystical tribe of creatures who were captured by Gruntilda, who didn't like them for being so happy and carefree, and rescued by Banjo and Kazooie during their adventure) stuck inside. B-K managed to free the Jinjonator who knocked Gruntilda off the rooftop. The blast also knocked a few chunks off the roof as well in the shape of large
boulders. Gruntilda fell all the way to Sprial Mountain, and as she hit the ground and was pounded in, the boulder fell on the hole and trapped her. She was trapped with no way out. B-K then went with their friends to the beach area known as Treasure Trove Cove to relax and celebrate. As Banjo sipped his mug of beer, Mumbo Jumbo came up to him with three magical pictures. B-K wanted to see what was on the pictures, so Mumbo showed them. Incredibly,
there were three mystical items in the areas of their adventure. Two huge eggs with a question mark on them, and a key made out of ice. When they asked what they did and how they got them, Mumbo said now was not the time nor the place but when the time came he would reveal all. This left Banjo and Kazooie with a feeling that this wouldn't be their last adventure after all. Meanwhile, Klungo tried frantically to remove the boulder but to no avail.
Gruntilda would be trapped under there for a long time, and would have to use her black magic to stay alive........which ironically would do more harm then good to her body in the long run.........

And So, The Adventure Returns...

We see some text: "It has been two years since Banjo and Kazooie defeated the witch Gruntilda..(how accurate!)" Bottles, Banjo, Kazooie and Mumbo are playing poker at Banjo's house. Outside we see Klungo still trying to push that boulder to free his mistress. Back inside, Mumbo is winning, and Kazooie distracts Mumbo to get his winning hand. There is a loud noise, and we see a machine drilling into the valley. Mumbo goes out to check what's going on,
because everyone else is too chicken. He sees Klungo trying to free Gruntilda, and then two hags exit the drilling craft to free their sister. They implode the boulder covering Gruntilda, and she gets out of the hole (I guess Klungo isn't very talented using the black magic). She is literally a walking skeleton (because of the fact that she had to use the evil black magic to stay alive without food or water for two years, it totally wrecked her body
ala Palpatine in Star Wars). The three hags are about to go back to the Isle o' Hags to cure Gruntilda, but they see Mumbo. Grunty gives chase, and Mumbo makes it back to the house. He warns everyone that Grunty is back, and everyone makes a dash for the door except Bottles because he thinks it's a trick from Kazooie to steal his money. They make it outside just in time to see a huge
explosion, and Gruntilda running off with her sisters. The sisters send out some cronies to guard the place. We see Bottles come out of the house, charcoal black. He collapses to the ground dead. Yes, DEAD! Sad but true, Bottles is no more. Kazooie comments "Oh well, he was the least liked character in the first game anyway.""
