I found out that you can skip using the Floatus Floatium by jumping then using the Pack Wack and jumping again you can easily get over there! It's a good skip

Right after my first grade graduation, my parents saved enough money to buy me an Xbox 360 as a reward. I remember going to Gamestop in the evening excited and we got this Xbox 360 game console that came with all of Rare replays, most notably Banjo Kazooie Nuts n' Bolts on the cover. It was an experience unlike any other. The talking bear and bird were unique, the sass, world design, creative ways to get through challenges were unlike anything else to me. Playing the first two games later on only added to the experience for me. Nothing beats Banjo to me, no triple A game, no huge franchise, etcetera. I haven't played Banjo regularly since I've been so busy with life but whenever I get back to the game I truly feel happy as soon as I step in :)

Just felt like in a good mood and wanted to share

Just found out about this. In the Lava World of Banjo-Kazooie, you were going to ride on Tip-Tup's shell in order to grab a jiggy!

I’m making snail-paced progress on my Banjo-Kazooie models, though that’s because I’ve been very busy with other things. Anyway, I’m really pleased with the result; just like the Kazooie model, the body still needs to be created, which I hope to get around to later.

• Versions:
  • Nintendo 64 and Nintendo Switch Online versions: Features a poster of Berri from Twelve Tales: Conker 64 / Conker's Pocket Tales.
  • Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) and Rare Replay versions: Replaces the Berri poster with a picture of Conker from Conker's Bad Fur Day.

I'm curious.

You all were incredibly kind a few months ago when I posted my gameplay trailer for Gonzalo the Chicken here. I wanted to let you know there's a free demo available now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/5226990/Gonzalo_the_Chicken_Demo/

Let me know what you think, I really hope you enjoy it!

Its true, that Kazooie has aged gracefully. But criticism for Tooie is coming from gamers who weren't there in 2000. And I understand, even if you were there for it, its easy to lose perspective when its been decades. DK 64 gets the same criticism today because of (new at the time) features not, bugs. Comparing these games to today's polished games is forgetting we had to start somewhere. The games you played in the last decade only got to this point because of what games did in the 90s.

When open world was barely a glint in a developer's eye, Rare started the trend with these games. The idea of massive open worlds did not exist beyond some MMOs on PC and those open worlds were bare. Rare managed to begin the open world trend on the N64. Of course its not perfect. Nothing had come before.

You dont have to like what Banjo-Tooie and DK64 offer in 2026, but you should try to remember to look at these games through a historical lens. 3D was new and they were molding what would come today. At the time, these games were revered for doing something so new that hadn't been done prior.

Not sure how long BK was in development, but Spice World came out in December 1997 and to video in May of 1998, just a month before BK’s release. I have a feeling though that Hot Grunty was modeled and program into the game long before January 1998. There’s also no chance that BK wasn’t somewhat already pressed into cartridges off the assembly line by May of 98.

Still, it would be interesting to know if developers have commented about any specific women she was modeled after. Shoulder length black hair and the little black dresses Posh Spice was famous for were rather commonly fashionable, so it’s totally possible there isn’t a singular or specific inspiration behind Hot Grunty?

The game was developed in England and that British humor and sensibility bleeds into it, maybe I’m stereotyping here but it would be cool to know if they chose one of their countrymen or countrywoman rather to model her after.

The same model reskinned/colored as the beach server feels like she could be based off Cameron Diaz after all.

Glad to see more proof that the Tower Room was meant to be accessible in BT.

I have always adored the voices in this game. Every character has such a unique sound that almost sounds like talking.(( You can literally imagine their voices)) unfortunately i am a complete beginner with musical programs and sound effects.

I would appreciate any video suggestions or tips!

90% of the powers you unlock in the games are Kazooie's. Banjo is fine on his own, but unremarkable. The bear is nothing without the bird.

I'd like to use them for something mainly cause they contain high quality versions of their voice lines from the N64 games, on top of new ones. Does someone have a link if they have been uploaded onto YouTube or something?

She’s been scratching furniture she’s not supposed to be. I think she might be a Minjo but I’m out of eggs to check.

I been working on this for a month or so now as the follow-up to my BK All Levels Ranked video. Features some personal anecdotes and observations with a potentially surprising or controversial number one.

One thing I did gain from these playthroughs is that I've always held Kazooie as far superior to Tooie, but that gap has now significantly narrowed.

Enjoy!

I’ve been on a Rare kick ever since DK64 got added to Nintendo Switch Online, so I played through BK & BT as well. My unfinished childhood goal for 100% completing BT is finally complete!
