One thing you forgot to mention: If you quit at any point before you rescue Tootie, the transfer of Tootie's cuteness to Gruntilda will be a success resulting in Grunty having a hot body, and Mumbo being smitten with her, while Tootie looks like she got Klungo's DNA mixed with hers, the ultimate "YOU FAILED!" moment.
My initial thought when you gave mumbos mountain a 10/10 was “well if he’s gonna do that he’s gonna have to give Treasure Trove Cove a 10/10 too😂😂😂😂😂 these levels are just to good man. Nice video.
It's great to see such a passionate video from someone who loves this gem as much as I do! I take it you were beyond-excited when Banjo & Kazooie got into Smash?
Man this game is just a blast. It's one of the prettiest games I've ever seen and it's packed with charme up to the brim. The stlye works really nice on the n64 and it's one of my favourite graphics stlyes ever. The soundtrack is just one banger after the other. Grant Kirkhope really outdid himself here. I listen to the soundtrack frequently, it's just so catchy and fun. This game is an absolute masterpiece and a true work of art. I love it a lot. It also gave me some of the most memorable and fun childhood memories
Funfact: the shark is killable with 6 hits of eggs while hes appeared. Easiest way to do this very quickly fire eggs from behind on a box onto his face. Then you can safely swim anywhere in the nearby area. Without worrying about him.
The mummies are totally killable. You just have to use the wonder wing on them. It's amazing how many people have played this game that don't actually know that
What a fantastic video and so comprehensive. The door behind Gobbie was always so mysterious to me and I know there was a few fake secrets regarding it back in the day. Also the cutscene of the spikes coming out to crush you if you failed to escape the maze in time was pretty memorable and freaky.
I always loved the setting and music of Rusty Bucket Bay and the challenge was super refreshing for me and for that reason it's my favorite. Then again, every world in Banjo Kazooie is amazing haha
I think I said this but a bad level in BK would be a good level in any other game haha Bubblegloop and Rusty Bucket aren’t my favorites but they’re still iconic
Loving these long form breakdowns of these old school games. It really brings me back. I miss my N64. One of my favorite consoles. I think my favorite game on there was Goldeneye 007.
Thank you very much! I work hard on all my videos! If you think this is good you should watch my recent stuff! Even the Tooie analysis is a big step forward I think! Thanks so much for watching and I hope you'll join my community! We love Banjo over here!
Even though it didn't work out, the fact that they wanted to take the N64'S RAM retention and turn it into a feature to allow for cross-game content is genuinely amazing. That could only come from the mind of a creative mad genius. Rare was sometimes too ambitious for their own good, but their games were still much better off for it.
One thing that made me irrationally angry as a child was the thought “eggs don’t fix leaky buckets”. The concept that it would be even possible was too out there for me to comprehend; I needed gameFAQs.
For real, I had to ask my friend about the bucket when I played as a kid and was so. Utterly. Annoyed. Cos I had been looking for rocks, pebbles, anything. I felt cheated they called them pebbles.
One small detail that the devs did was scaring us with the shark in treasure trove and then making us go into clanker’s. The moment I saw him I thought he would attack and I was so scared to go inside lol.. then you find out he’s friendly
This game is one of the greatest ive ever played. I turn 31 in a few weeks so i give to me another playtrough as my own birthday present and i try to play it slowly to enjoy the most. It brings me back to my wonderfull childhood😢
Idk if anyone said this, but snacker (the shark) can be killed with wonderwing and blue eggs. Also if you use banjo to punch the snowballs from freezeezy peak you can get extra honey combs.
I think that it is a fantastic game and pretty much one of the best in the Nintendo 64 era. I do often imagine being able to explore new worlds in Banjo-Kazooie even after beating the game. Thanks to rom-hacks, that is now possible, but there are some hacks that stand out from others.
As cool as that'd be, it'd require Microsoft owning nintendo, or Microsoft selling rare. Wouldn't mind nintendo owning rare, but Microsoft owning nintendo wouldn't be cool. However if you ever wanted to know why rare stopped releasing on nintendo and stared making xbox exclusive games, well, there ya go. Unfortunately.
@@Umbrella2 I think a remake/remaster would help people get excited about the game again,it was miscorsoft''s fault for killing the franchise in the first place with their attempt of the game we'll never speak of =.= if we got a revvial for just the first 2 games it would give it enough attention that people still want a brand new game,it would attract old and new fans
Berry is the first reference you see!? Dude! The snowmen who die without a top hat are definitely frosty references, just off the top of my head. But this game is full of pop culture references like that. Most go over my head to, but you missed them tell the conker reference!? And I thought I was pop culture illiterate. I think tooie has more though.
You mentioned that Clankers Cavern not having a transformation is a miss. It's a good point and i think if the game ever did get remade, adding new transformations to the levels that dont have them could be sweet.
Thanks for the pro tip and checking out the video! This is actually old episodes I’ve merged into one large video. I have a new mic now with a pop filter! All my new videos sound sweet!
@@MinkSquared I appreciate it! Definitely could have done that when I was making this one! The poofing is real when I get excited 😂 which is apparently most of the game
I never owned Banjo Kazooie, my favourite world was always Treasure Trove Cove as whenever I borrowed the game or played it at a friends I always got to this level and vibed until it was time to say goodbye to it. I had 100%'d Tooie by the time I got Kazooie so a lot of the magic was lost on me
Ay man, just felt I should mention something. I ain't bashing your opinion at all, but you say in the beginning that this game defined your childhood and boy is it obvious. Two perfect ten outta tens right out of the gate? I don't mean to sound insulting or anything, as I haven't seen the rest of the vid yet, but it gives me the vibe you might be wearing those nostalgia goggles a bit too hard. Not to say it renders your opinion invalid, especially since you literally adressed that point right as I'm typing it. Props to you for recognizing bias. Just felt that it was a bit prominent, that's all. Other than that, loving the video, especially since you arent afraid to just speak your mind in general. These kinda breakdowns are one of my favorite kinds of videos, so I hope you keep to this style.
I can honestly say I’ve come a long way from this and learned to be a bit more critical. However Banjo Kazooie legitimately holds up if you like this style of game. Plus I don’t think every world is a 10/10 if you haven’t finished the video. I appreciate you watching tho :)
@@jiggylookback Yeah, like i said, you adressing your bias and giving the third level a 7.5 came up the moment I finished typing that initial criticism, so I realize I was a bit hasty. Still a great vid, and Banjo-Kazooie is legendary for a reason. Sorry if you felt I was attacking your opinons or anything, I just don't think people should review older games if they're still massively nostalgic for them, since it makes it harder to see the flaws. But yeah, keep up the good work!
@@desperation9151 haha I appreciate it! This was a while ago so I couldn’t remember what I even said tbh I do remember the first two levels being 10/10 but they slap so I stand by it
Early 20s Me looking back on Banjo: Yes it is perfect, and no other 3D platformer will ever compare! Late 20s me: *Plays Spyro 1.* I uh… I gotta take that back now. Hey, at least it took a dragon to dethrone the Bear and Bird
@@jiggylookback The sequels I wouldn’t but the original has such good pacing with its action and exploration while feeling huge and giving a sense of freedom on par with Mario 64. I really felt like every stage was an epic playground. But I also understand why someone would prefer Banjo Kazooie more. It has more unique ideas, memorable characters, and is more challenging.
@@jimjohnson6944 Nope just a different opinion. L take would be coming on just to try and crap on someone else’s game preferences. You’ll grow up someday, though, don’t worry.
Love the game but the ending was a bit annoying. It was kind of a slap on the hand when you get past the board game only to discover you had to almost 100% the game to get to the actual final boss. Still love it but that part was aggravating as a kid.
Oh well thank you so much!! I’ll be trying to bring back some thorough analysis in the future. I haven’t made one like this for a while now. I’ve got plenty of other content where that came from though!
This isn't really a retrospective, it's just you giving an overly detailed explanation of the game and mechanics. Feels like a pre-release presentation from Nintendo Treehouse, not a retrospective. Sorry dude.
Update I adjusted the titles of these since I've heard that at least 3 times from people. I don't really put out content in this format anymore though. I've gotten a lot better lol.

It's great to see such a passionate video from someone who loves this gem as much as I do! I take it you were beyond-excited when Banjo & Kazooie got into Smash?

The music in this game is always a 10.
Dude agreed. Kirkhope did amazing!
The music is a friggin 14
The mummies are totally killable. You just have to use the wonder wing on them. It's amazing how many people have played this game that don't actually know that
I don’t remember haha I guess I never bothered haha I’ve probably done it a million times and just didn’t pay attention tbh
@@jiggylookback Yeah to be honest the wonder wing will pretty much kill any late game enemy
@@ttewelow1 wonder wing is BEAST

Chronicling the collection of every single item in the game makes this retrospective more like a Let's Play.
It’s somewhere in between. I stopped doing that tho this is really old lol
Loving these long form breakdowns of these old school games. It really brings me back. I miss my N64. One of my favorite consoles. I think my favorite game on there was Goldeneye 007.
A true classic that is getting revived yet again with Switch online! :)
Very in-depth, good job! Loved it

I agree! It would have been legendary to have that stop n swap functioning like intended. Such a genius idea indeed!
I wonder why they never used the save pak for something like that
Save data bonuses

@@jiggylookback absolutely ! I’m a sucker for small details like that
Clanker scared the heck outta me when I was a kid
Valid. It’s almost a right of passage as a kid playing this game to be scared by Clanker and press on anyways.
This game is one of the greatest ive ever played. I turn 31 in a few weeks so i give to me another playtrough as my own birthday present and i try to play it slowly to enjoy the most. It brings me back to my wonderfull childhood😢

yup I love Banjo Kazooie
Yep.
Banjo kazooie and tooie are a couple of my absolute favorite games on n64
Great games
Such an iconic game! Started a new playthrough and so far made it to the 3rd world? The ahh, swamp one. But my fav is the Halloween type level.
Oh yes Mad Monster Mansion! Thats a great level!
I want a remake of this on the switch
As cool as that'd be, it'd require Microsoft owning nintendo, or Microsoft selling rare. Wouldn't mind nintendo owning rare, but Microsoft owning nintendo wouldn't be cool. However if you ever wanted to know why rare stopped releasing on nintendo and stared making xbox exclusive games, well, there ya go. Unfortunately.
I’d prefer a brand new game personally, it’s been too long without a new game for just a remake/remaster.
@@zaodacrusher7498 you forgot to say that microsoft is also the reason for killing off the franchise and rare was in better hands with nintendo
@@Umbrella2 I think a remake/remaster would help people get excited about the game again,it was miscorsoft''s fault for killing the franchise in the first place with their attempt of the game we'll never speak of =.= if we got a revvial for just the first 2 games it would give it enough attention that people still want a brand new game,it would attract old and new fans
I had so much fun running from snacker the shark in treasure trove cove.
Childhood nightmare for me lol
Tootie should be playable in Banjo-Threeie.
Loved this game growing up, love it still, pretty much just as good (or better??) than Mario 64 which is crazy. Had a blast watching this, well done!
Thanks so much for watching!
Love the videos now subscribed
Thanks so much!! I really appreciate it!
Berry is the first reference you see!? Dude! The snowmen who die without a top hat are definitely frosty references, just off the top of my head. But this game is full of pop culture references like that. Most go over my head to, but you missed them tell the conker reference!? And I thought I was pop culture illiterate. I think tooie has more though.
I’m definitely referring to another Rare game series. Not pop culture. I had to rewatch tho.
You mentioned that Clankers Cavern not having a transformation is a miss. It's a good point and i think if the game ever did get remade, adding new transformations to the levels that dont have them could be sweet.
Bubblegloop does have one, but yes every level should!
@@jiggylookback sorry I meant Clankers Cavern.
You just mentioned the backtracking for the running shoes and now I'm curious what you think about banjo tooie👀
I love banjo tooie lol
Putting a sock over your microphone should act as a basic pop filter
Thanks for the pro tip and checking out the video! This is actually old episodes I’ve merged into one large video. I have a new mic now with a pop filter! All my new videos sound sweet!

@@MinkSquared I appreciate it! Definitely could have done that when I was making this one! The poofing is real when I get excited 😂 which is apparently most of the game
Amazing game. Easy 10/10 for me. I still think Super Mario 64 is still better though. It's my favorite n64 game as well
Hey I mean we like what we like! I’d say Banjo is superior to Mario 64 but if you love it you love it!
@@jiggylookbackagree banjo is definitely better than Mario 64, both are great ofc

you missed the puzzles in banjos house and washingmachine transformation
I mean yeah they’re there 😂
*I downloaded the trilogy and started with Nuts and Bolts 😬 needless to say, I expect more from 1 and 2.*
You’ll get it. I’m confident in saying that.
Nice
You like the haunted mansion level?
Man has good taste.
I always like haunted mansions. Don’t threaten me with a good time.
You're in good company, it's my favorite too.
