Okay, we're down to the wire, folks. We've gotta figure out what the most difficult Jiggy is in Grunty's Lair.
I don't think anyone really believes that the one to the left of the entrance to Grunty's Lair is the hardest. Aside from the jokers out there who just insist on ruining polling data, that is. So we can probably count on at least one vote there.
Mumbo's Mountain? Not too tough. I got it my first time. Just find the witch switch near Conga (easy, just get used to the jumping), then don't change back from a termite before you leave the level. Simple.
TTC? Time consuming, but not challenging. Just find it behind the light house at the top of the level, and jump to the top of the hsip outside of the world.
Clanker's? Might be a bit tough to find for some people, but I think anyone can get the hint about smashing the eyes once they've hit the witch switch.
Bubblegloop Swamp's is a bit of a challenge because the witch switch is actually in one of the more inaccessible places in the level (mud hut). Also, this is one of the only Jiggies that requires you to open a note door after you've beaten the level that the witch switch was in, so that could present a problem for those who don't snatch all the notes in a level on the first run through.
Freezeezy Peak's got a bit of a challenge to it. I remember that it took me quite a while to get the hang of hitting the switch, running with the shoes, and reaching that flight pad before it shattered. Then you've got to assume that you have the hang of flying. Add to that the fact that the witch switch is under a Sir Slush (and they can be a bit of a pain), and you've got yerself one tough Jiggy to crack, in my opinion.
Gobi's Valley isn't really difficult at all. The hardest part about it is finding the switch in the maze. Actually jumping into the coffin to get the Jiggy outside of the level isn't difficult at all.
Mad Monster Mansion's more difficult, however. The switch is well hidden. It was a long time before I even noticed that I could fly to the rafters in the church. And then you need to be able to do the timed race thing again that you did for Freezeezy Peak's Jiggy, combined with executing a flying attack at Grunty's Eye in a fairly confined area. Not as tough as Freezeezy's in my opinion, but I could understand why a person might vote for it.
Rusty Bucket Bay's also a little tough. The witch switch is pretty easy to find, but it's not easy to get to. Unless you've practiced that jump, getting to it can result in massive injuries for our favorite Bear. But once you hit that switch, it's almost as easy as the first one in the game.
Finally, Click Clock Wood. First you need to find it in Winter. This isn't especially challenging, but I can understand someone overlooking it. Then you just change into a bee, and fly to the top of the forest outside the level, no real challenge there.
Between them all, I'm going to vote for Freezeezy Peak. It may be the hardest timed race in the game when you first try it.

I agree. Freezeezy is the most tricky, as you have to jump quickly around that Snowman themed advent calendar-like thing till you reach the top.
But with Grunty's eye for Monster Mansion, as long as you have enough red feathers, then you're home dry.

Again, all these jiggies arn't difficult IMO, but Flying Above Freezeezy Peak's Entrance (Timed Race) get's my vote.
BTW, are you going to do the exact same thing with Banjo Tooie jiggies?

The race to the flying pad isn't that bad, but the locked camera there makes it twice as hard.

Kinda.
In about a day, I'm going to take the current leads from all of the Jiggy contests, and figure out which of all the Jiggies people believe to be the most difficult in Banjo-Kazooie (my current expectation is for Turning Off The Propellers in RBB).
Then I'll start with Mayahem Temple and work my way through Banjo-Tooie, until we determine which one is the most difficult there.
Then I'll start with Cliff Farm and do Grunty's Revenge, just to make it official.
Then I'll take the three toughest Jiggies from those three games, and pit them against each other to determine what the fans believe to be the hardest jiggy in any Banjo game ever.
Maybe Banjo Pilot'll be out by then, giving us something else to talk about.

The one outside Freezeezy is the one I failed to get the most times, so I'll go for that one too!

can anyone remember which witch switch is the hardest.

I'd give hardest Witch Switch to Rusty Bucket Bay, with Freezeezy Peak coming in second.

The one from RBB, because sometimes you get the switch instantly, other times, you fall to your grave

Freez... Snaaaawww.... Eezy.... Snaaaawww.... Peak.....
These topics are getting kind of old if you ask me. I mean we should just do like one more topic that has all of the levels, in which you can list all of the jiggies in summary in your post following afterwards. This way we conserve space on the forum (for other topics maybe).

We should have a forum for this. Like, a redirected one, just for these kinds of posts. Then afterward they can go to the archives.

Sounds like a pretty good idea to me. I've been worried that I'm discouraging people from talking like normal in here lately. Fortunately, I've only got one more to do with BK, and then I'm taking a break before I start with BT, just to let people get some regular chatting in.
Think I should go tally up who the "winners" are, even though it's still a tie in some places....

All of them were pretty easy, but the trickiest one has to be the Freezeezy Peak's Jiggy
