[@smashbrolink]

About Canary Mary races... Did you know she's actually easy to beat if you know her secret? Her speed in the second round of the race [at least in Cloud Cuckooland but probably in the mine cart race too] is based upon YOUR completion time in the FIRST round. So if you want to completely crush her, just HOLD BACK in the first round, and she will be slow as heck in the second. No more sore wrists!💗

I mean Banjo-Tooie also lets you play as Banjo or Kazooie separately... and gives you dragon Kazooie... and a multitude of new mechanics to work with so you can get even more creative with the gameplay... so yeah I'd still like to see Banjo-Tooie romhacks.

[@MrGreed2000]

Nintendo is very dumb when it comes to fan creations whether on KZbin or as brand new ROMS/Hacks. They could make millions more by supporting and nurturing creativity like this. Hell Nintendo should consider adding the Kurko guy as he is producing quality work. Instead they will most likely try to shut him down somehow we will see

[@fe_fanby2278]

@@MrGreed2000 It's a bit hard to tell if Nintendo could even take the projects down. I get that the level design and locations are based on their IPs and games, but other assets such as characters (with some exceptions), sound (it's in a Banjo sound font, so I don't think they would be concerned about that), and style of gameplay. Obviously Banjo is owned by Microsoft, so that would make it muddy.

[@orangeslash1667]

@@MrGreed2000 This is why Banjo is so important. Nintendo may not allow fan hacks, but Nintendo characters are already popular they don't need any support. Banjo needs all the help he gets, because I don't think he is a big name like Crash Bandicoot.

For example the termite queen coming out of the hill and Conga defeating her. It sadly got canceled. Guess which game it turned into. Btw it was called "Banjo X"

If Microsoft didn’t buy Rare, could you imagine a reality where Capcom or Namco had bought Rare instead? Imagine having Banjo and Kazooie in either Marvel vs Capcom or those Mario Kart Arcade games that Namco creates. As for Bob-Omb Battlefield, I like how the hack for it essentially shows what’s basically the town long after Super Mario 64 happened. I’d love to see a game that calls back to previous areas by showing how they changed over time. Imagine if Cool Cool Mountain became a ski resort or if Dire Dire Docks was abandoned

I'd love to see a Banjo-kazooie game with stealth elements, hiding and sneaking around, like you're trying to infiltrate Grunty's more secure dungeons and facilities while ''stealing'' collectables, maybe a plot where Grunty frames Mumbo and the gang and they have to get evidence from different locations, gadgets, mumbo transformations... Could call it: Banjo-Kazooie, The Jiggies Up!

Wish these hacks utilized Tooie's engine more. Always preferred the bouncier movement speed of Tooie compared to the stiffer, slower movement of Kazooie.

[@heliosphere2162]

Banjo-Tooie has better controls, better graphics, and much more abilities. I wouldn't call it a "hack". Imagine how creative people could get with fire/ice/grenade/proximity-mine/clockwork/rapid-fire eggs, ledge grabs, spring boots, suction cup boots, Mumbo pads, split up pads, or even first person shooting.
