The Isle o' Hags is kind of the overworld of Banjo-Tooie; it connects all the worlds together. It is, in a way, also a world itself, as notes and jiggies can be found here. The Isle o' Hags is separated into various zones. In every zone, there is a portal that links the various zones together, walk up to it to activate the portal.
Jinjo Village
This is where you appear when you enter the Isle o' Hags for the first time; it is also where you return whenever you save the game. The Jinjo's houses are all empty, and you will need to find the Jinjos scattered across the world to reunite the families and gain Jiggies. This is also where King Jinjaling is located.
When you first appear here, directly make your way to the large castle in the center. King Jingaling will give you one Jiggy and open the way to the rest of the world through Bottles' house. As soon as you leave the castle, King Jingaling is killed.
Later on, once you have Grip Grab, you can go through a more direct path to the Wooded Hollow.
Bottles' house
Bottles' house is where the family of Bottles' reside. In one of the rooms, if you talk to Goggles, he will offer to give the Amaze-O-Gaze Glasses to you, which allow you to zoom in and out in first-person view using C-Left and C-Right. Note that later on Bottles' house will be closed so if you don't get this now it will be lost forever in the future.
Wooded Hollow
Wooded Hollow is where the entrance to Mayahem Temple is located, but it's also where Jiggywiggy's Temple stands. In there, provided you have enough Jiggies, you can unlock new worlds by solving puzzles. These start off rather easy but become increasingly difficult as you progress through the game. Every world has an altar in front which tells you how many Jiggies you need. If you have enough Jiggies, you can directly warp to Jiggywiggy's Temple from here.
By following one of the paths downwards, you'll find a large egg structure. This is where Heggy resides, and where you can bring eggs to hatch them and gain some bonuses. There are two in Spiral Mountain, and there is a third right there are the top which Heggy can't hatch and which you'll need to hatch yourself. The Blue Egg grants you the HOMING cheat. The Pink Egg gives you the Breegull Bash move, performed by pressing B twice. It looks very amusing but otherwise isn't too useful.
A ledge that can only be crossed using Grip Grab leads to the Plateau.
Plateau
The Plateau contains the entrance to the Glitter Gulch Mine. As well, it is where Honey B's Hive can be found. Provided you have enough Empty Honeycombs, you can use them to upgrade your life meter here.
Hitting a switch with a Fire Egg grants access to the Pine Grove.
Pine Grove
The Pine Grove is where the entrance to Witchyworld is. It is also where you can find Wumba's wigwam. An underwater tunnel blocked by a rock leads to the second Klungo battle.

Moves
Fire eggs
- Notes needed: 45
This move can be learned in the Plateau beside the entrance to the Glitter Gulch Mine. Fire Eggs are a new type of egg. These fiery eggs burn enemies that are hit and can also be used for certain puzzles you'll encounter. Once you have more than one type of egg, use R to cycle between them.
Grenade eggs
- Notes needed: 110
This move can be learned in the Pine Grove beside the entrance to Witchyworld. Grenade eggs are very explosive and will take out enemies with ease, though Banjo can be hurt by the blast too if you're not careful. With Grenade eggs, if you see cracks in the walls, chances are you can blast them open to reveal hidden passageways.
