Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is a 2008 platform game developed by Rare and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox 360. Set eight years after Banjo-Tooie (2000), Nuts & Bolts follows the bear-and-bird duo Banjo and Kazooie as they compete with the witch Gruntilda for ownership of their home. Although Nuts & Bolts retains the structure of previous Banjo-Kazooie games—collecting jigsaw puzzle pieces to progress—it shifts the focus from exploration to vehicle construction. The player designs vehicles, including automobiles, boats, and aeroplanes, and uses them to complete challenges across various worlds. In multiplayer modes, players can compete or share their vehicles over Xbox Live.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is an action game set in a whimsical world filled with animals, robots, witches and wacky machines. Players guide a bear and his backpack-bird sidekick through various tasks and mini-games in an effort to undermine an evil witch named Gruntilda. Players can use wrenches to whack enemies over the head or shoot lasers beams at various characters, including a 'cartoony' police officer depicted as a ferret in a golf cart. On-screen text makes reference to crude humor (e.g., jokes about 'floaters,' stinky toilets, and belching).
