The players fight on the peak of Spiral Mountain. After a warning signal, the plane of gameplay rotates around the center of the mountain, changing the overall layout of the stage and causing characters and objects on the spiral pathway to be pushed up or down. Wooden platforms and floating patches of ground occasionally appear in the various layouts. Several ''Banjo-Kazooie'' characters, such as Bottles, Mumbo Jumbo, Tooty, Buzzbombs, the [[Jinjo]]s (which come in groups of one to five), and Gruntilda Winkybunion appear as cameos on this stage, with Gruntilda flying in the background on her broom. Various objects from the original game, such as Extra Honeycomb Pieces and Extra Lives, can be seen in the background; the placements of which are almost identical to their respective placements in the original Mountain of ''Banjo-Kazooie''.

In ''Banjo-Tooie'', Spiral Mountain has been trashed by Gruntilda's minions just after her revival by her sisters Mingella and Blobbelda; many chunks of the landscape have been broken off and litter the ground. The bridge to Gruntilda's Lair is broken off, and its inside has partially collapsed; only the initial lobby, occupied by Cheato the spellbook, is accessible. The top of the spiral also has a Flight Pad, letting the pair explore more of its surroundings, including a waterfall cave. Banjo and Kazooie are intended to briefly review their returning abilities here before pursuing the Winkybunion sisters through a hole in the side of the cliff opposite Gruntilda's Lair.

With the exception of the Buzzbombs, the characters that cameo in the background each play an important role in the first game of the series, ''Banjo-Kazooie'', and with the further exception of Tooty, the entire series. Gruntilda Winkybunion serves as the main antagonist of the series, often causing trouble for Banjo and Kazooie. Tooty is Banjo's younger sister who was kidnapped by Gruntilda in order to steal her beauty in the first game. Jinjos are creatures who Gruntilda consistently causes trouble for throughout the series. Bottles is an intelligent nearsighted mole who teaches Banjo and Kazooie new abilities in the first game prior to his death at the beginning of the second (although he is eventually revived, he does not continue to teach them). Mumbo Jumbo is a shaman whom Banjo and Kazooie visit in the first game and ''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge'' to be transformed into various unique creatures to help them access more Jiggies, is a playable character in the second game who can use his magic to help solve puzzles, and is a major supporting character to varying degrees in other games. Buzzbombs are enemies introduced in Bubblegloop Swamp in ''Banjo-Kazooie'', with one lone Buzzbomb making an appearance in the intro movie to that game as well. One of Mumbo Jumbo's animations on this stage, in which he pulls his eyeballs from his skull and juggles them around, is based on one of his idle animations from ''Nuts & Bolts''.

*As the original ''Banjo-Kazooie''{{'}}s vegetable enemies are absent in ''Ultimate''{{'}}s stage, an Empty Honeycomb piece appears in the vegetable garden where one could be obtained by defeating a cauliflower enemy called Colliwobble. However, no such Honeycomb piece appears in the area with boulders, which could, likewise, all be defeated for a piece (although the boulders in ''Ultimate'' lack the eyes of said original boulders).

*Though still fairly minor, this stage is Tooty's most prominent appearance since her debut in the original ''Banjo-Kazooie''. While she appears in both ''Banjo-Tooie'' and ''Nuts & Bolts'' in easy-to-miss cameo photos inside Banjo's house, only this stage and the original ''Banjo-Kazooie'' feature her as an animated character.

*The [[Splat Roller#Onstage ink|ink]] left behind by {{SSBU|Inkling}}'s [[Splat Roller]] will aesthetically rotate with the stage, but its effects on grounded movement remain in place, which causes a minor visual discrepancy.
