Banjo with a Kazooie is a 1998 platforming collect-a-thon by RareWare that featured a bear and a bird going on a dumb adventure to save his sister from Gruntilda who bearnapped her. Critics loved the shame for revolutionizing Collect-a-Thon shames, the humour and it’s beautiful soundtrack with The Shamer saying that you must play this before you die.
Banjo with a Kazooie was a smash hit selling 3 million copies, so Rare had to follow it up with the sequel Banjo with a Tooie which allowed the bear and bird to split up, had widescreen and had a rock formation in the shape of an actual COCK! Yes, a COCK!! I'm shocked it was rated E!
With the release of Banjo With a Kazooie: Butts and Bolts which r-worded many people’s childhoods Rare but Banjo with a Kazooie on the Xbox Live Arcade because why not? Banjo with a Tooie followed the next year, both versions having widescreen support, achievements, leaderboards and textures that aren't washed out! YAY!!!
Story[]
The old hag Grunty is talking to Dingpot on who the prettiest girl is and the pot says it’s Banjo’s sister Tooty so she sweeps down from Spiral Mountain and KIDNAPS HER!! This woke up Kazooie who tries to wake up Banjo and is successful and shoots Banjo in the ass (not shown in the shame) to get him out the door to talk to Bottles where he offers you training, you can accept or decline help but we recommend you accepting his help especially if you’re on N64. You learn the basics (camera, attack, jumps, how to swim). Up the Spiral Mountain there’s Grunty’s Lair which all moves must be learnt first before going there and going there before doing the tutorial will make Bottles refuse to fix the damn bridge! The first world you unlock is Mumbo's Mountain
Hub world: Spiral Mountain[]
After leaving Banjo's house talk to Bottles for a optional tutorial, press A to accept and B to decline, note that your decision cannot be reversed and if you harass Bottles enough he will threaten to delete your save data however he never actually does that. Here's a tutorial! You learn the basics here, such as the camera controls being on the C buttons, pressing A to jump, pressing B to attack, how to swim, using Z and a C button to do a move and more
World 1: Mumbo’s Mountain[]
Eekum Bokum! In this first world you learn about eggs, notes and jiggys which you’re gonna need! The first boss is also here and his name is Conga (not to be confused with Donkey Kong) and he’s easy, just make Kazooie fire eggs and he’s dead! The first Jinjos can also be found here.
There’s also a random hut with a shaman named, well, Mumbo! He can turn you into an ant for 5 tokens so you can get an extra life by going to the top of the anthill. Don’t worry, idiots! You can turn back into bear and bird for free!
World 2: Treasure Trove Cove[]
Ahoy there! In world 2 the breegull learns to fly, after Bottles tells you how to stand on the red feather pads and press A, use the control stick to steer and press A to use a wing to get high! There's also a sandcastle where cheats can be entered.
Warning: Entering ANY illegal cheat (i.e: infinite lives, 99 Mumbo Tokens, infinite jiggys, bypassing note doors) the first time will disable saving in the Xbox Live Arcade port and your score will NOT be posted to leaderboards. BUT if you enter a 2nd cheat Gruntilda will tell you to stop or she will delete your save data, she isn't kidding! If you enter a third cheat Bottles will warn you not to do it or your save will be gone. If you don't press B Grunty will erase your shame pak. Spoiler alert: she only erases 1 save and not the entire shame pak. Grunty cannot delete your save data in the Rare Replay version on Xbox ONE/Series X|S
World 3: Clanker’s Cavern[]
All you do here is complete your C button controls, with the use of invincibility! Press Z then right C to spend 1 golden feather per 2 seconds to hear arguably THE best invincibility theme EVAR!!!
This world is BORING!!!
World 4: Bubblegloop Swamp[]
It's a swamp, ok? If you find some white Nikes Kazooie can temporarily walk through DANGEROUS shallow water!
World 5: Freezeezy Peek[]
Christmas in June? When have I ever heard of that?? But you do learn to press B whilst flying to attack, also there’s a bunch of kids in an igloo who’s dad hadn’t come back and Kazooie OBLITERATED the fourth wall and told them he’s probably dead!
World 6: Gobi’s Valley[]
Whalecum to Egypt! After finding some Nikes press Z then Right C to run REALLY FAST!!! Yeah, a lot of the worlds now are getting BORING!! Why am I even documenting them???
