Witchyworld and Mr. Patch | Banjo-Tooie | WMGSO's Spring 2025 Full Orchestra Concert

Witchyworld and Mr. Patch Banjo-Tooie (2000) By: Grant Kirkhope Arr. Alex Song Banjo-Tooie is the second game in the Banjo-Kazooie series. The game takes place two years after Gruntilda (a wicked witch with magical spells and the main antagonist of the series) is defeated by the two protagonists: Banjo, a brown bear wearing yellow shorts, a black belt, and a blue backpack; and Kazooie (Banjo’s sidekick), a red-crested breegull who mostly resides in Banjo’s backpack. As in BanjoKazooie, Banjo-Tooie features nine worlds, one overworld/hub world, and one starter world. Witchyworld, the third level in Banjo-Tooie, is a rundown, dilapidated theme park featuring dangerous rides and attractions. The arrangement thus opens with a carousel waltz—but it is obvious from the slightly sinister tone and instrumentation that this isn’t a place to relax! The boss of this level, Mr. Patch, is a large, inflatable T-Rex covered in colorful, mismatched patches. His theme, four brief fragments put together and reminiscent of Witchyworld’s own theme, evokes this patched-up nature. To Mr. Patch’s dismay, Banjo and Kazooie discover that these patches are his weakness, and after the duo fires some impressive shots, Mr. Patch deflates and flies out of sight: the boss is defeated, and the duo scores a Jiggy.
