** Speaking of Minjos, they can be unnerving in their own right. They look no different from your typical Jinjo, even calling for help. But the moment you get close, they suddenly attack, catching the player completely unaware. At most, Minjos are usually found in easy to find and easy to reach locations, but players can still find themselves being cautious when approaching what they suspect to be a Jinjo.

* Mingy Jongo, the boss you fight in Cloud Cuckooland, is basically [[TerminatorImpersonator a Terminator android impersonating Mumbo.]] While that's intimidating enough on its own, the real scary part is how the fight is instigated, especially if the player isn't prepared for it. There are two Mumbo skull huts in this world - one with the real Mumbo and the other with Mingy - so there's always a chance that the player will wander into Mingy's hut first without realizing there's another one in the world. Worse, Mingy's hut is always the one with a Jinjo in it whereas the real Mumbo's ironically has the Jinjo-impersonating Minjo in it, giving the player a false sense of security. After saving the Jinjo, Banjo and Kazooie will find "Mumbo" asleep on his chair, triggering a cutscene where the shaman wakes up and declares he has a big surprise for the bear and bird. The "surprise" ends up being him attacking them with his staff, revealing his true identity and initiating the battle with him.

* Terrydactyland has Stomponadon, [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever an absolutely humongous dinosaur]] [[AttackOfTheMonsterAppendage where we only ever see her giant foot stomping down in the Stomping Plains]]. We never see her in full, and every time she brings her foot down, it's punctuated with [[MightyRoar a loud, monstrous roar]]. And yes, she can and will kill you if you're unable to avoid her. The first time you get stomped, you're left with a LastChanceHitPoint, but after your invincibility wears off... a second stomp will outright kill you. Not only is it difficult to get through the Stomping Plains without dying, it's also incredibly nervewracking, as you don't know why the hell this giant dinosaur is so deadset on crushing you - she just does it anyway, and keeps doing it while you're there.
* Grunty Industries is one hell of an EternalEngine. Right away you're greeted with toxic sludge all over the place, where the same creature that lurked in the slime of Terrydactyland returns here to devour you if you step in. The building proper isn't any better, as it's a cramped warehouse environment filled with kill-happy security bots and easily agitated employees with massive wrenches. Some areas of the building (like the attic, or the basement) have the normally bombastic and quirky music become nearly completely sapped of character, sounding desolate and empty, which only highlights the feeling of isolation in one of Grunty's strongholds.
** Let's not forget Weldar, the boss of the zone. A giant welding torch with the nozzle having a snake-like neck, he easily makes an impression when the doors in his arena open and show him [[SinisterScrapingSound slowly, grindingly drag himself into view]]... and then suddenly force himself upright to tower over the duo. [[ImpossiblyGracefulGiant Despite his immense size, he can easily hop around to try and squash you flat]], and when he's not doing that, he's either taking time to spit fireballs at you to take you down from afar, hocking up nut and bolt enemies to harass you, or inhaling you into his mouth to harm you with the flammable gas inside his body before spitting you back out. Halfway through the fight, he makes things worse by electrifying parts of the floor, giving less room to avoid him with! And even when he finally goes down, it's still rather unsettling - only his head remains after his body explodes, and he [[AndIMustScream outright states he's in a lot of pain after that]]. Even with the comical undertones of his intro, he's still a pretty scary boss.

* Glitter Gulch Mine has the Power Hut Basement and the Generator Cavern, two areas shrouded in almost complete darkness that require you to light up the pathway in order to see where you're going. The area takes place over a pitch black void that acts as a bottomless pit, and the music that plays in these areas is low-key, ominous and has psycho strings in the background.
