Banjo-Tooie | Bigger, Better, and Worse - AntDude

[@NintendoCapriSun]

Even as a member of Camp Tooie, I'm kinda surprised how many of the comments are vouching for Tooie here. Usually the consensus seems more down-the-middle, but that's the great thing about both of these games. There is so much to talk about and it's fun to discuss what makes each one great. Banjo-Kazooie may very well have one of the most awesome fanbases there is.

[@aliciafraser1835]

The Japanese find it VIOLENTLY disrespectful to mess around with the dead, which is more then likely why they removed the playing with the head scene. Fun fact, that's also one of the reason why you never see a dead bodies face in any of the original 3 silent hill games, including and especially harry's.

[@oddities1670]

But, that sort of made it worse. Her eye still pops out of the bag, and she still clearly talks. So, you could imply that they stuffed her body into a bag and played with it anyways.

[@KotoCrash]

Not seeing dead peoples faces in SH is a motif, not a moral thing. It objectifys them. Its also not "Messing with the dead" thats looked down upon in the culture, but specifically the severing of body parts.

[@NintenJoeGamer]

I think it's a lot more morbid with the "censor", It's showing them playing around with a sac of Grunty's remains rather than JUST her head.

[@LordDinosaur]

@@NintenJoeGamer Pretty sure the reason why Grunty's head was censored in the ending was similar to why Crash's death animation when being crushed was changed in Crash Bandicoot 2 for Japan.

What I liked about this game was that when I was a kid I would imagine that if you pushed past the boundaries of a game, there would be more areas not on the map. If you glitch past a certain wall in pokemon then maybe there'd be a new area with more gym leaders. This game felt like the only time I ever got to see that in a game world. The area behind the spiral mountain wall blew me away and i half expected every other game to have secret extra games behind the walls.

Totally agree. It was one of the best implementation of backtracking ever in a game.

[@jjc4924]

It probably would've been fine if the game didn't had to make you walk in an long distance from a mile to get to the area. Yeah. I know there warp points. But even so, you still have to walk in an mile away & sometimes you'll probably don't know where you needed to go in your next progression because of how bare the levels look.

[@demi-fiendoftime3825]

Agreed saved for cloud coocoo land-_-

[@hoodedman6579]

So much of it is just tedious though; "oh, you can't do that yet, just come back later I guess". Not to mention the jiggies that are just moving from area to area, like that sick dinosaur who you have to carry to a train, take the train to the overworld, get Mumbo to heal it, and then take it back, so you're 1/3 of your way to a Jiggy; that whole quest is just terrible. An annoying amount of both Kazooie and Tooie both feel like you're just getting stuff for walking around, but Tooie just extends the distance and makes the whole thing obnoxious.

I'll come out as a member of Team Tooie. As a kid I loved the huge maps. They were giant mazes that would take forever to learn how to navigate, but it was so rewarding once I did. That feeling of having things click was so satisfying. And the knowledge that I'd have to backtrack to complete certain quests gave me the freedom to leave and come back later with new abilities or changing the environment in other levels somehow. It's definitely a time sink and inelegant, but if I wanted a streamlined experience then I'd just play a different game. This one scratched a very specific itch really well.

[@regalternative]

Banjo Tooie is an exceptional game. One of my all time favourite games for sure. I love Kazooie also but Tooie just took everything that made that game special and multiplied it! The interconnectivity of the worlds and backtracking is also one of the reasons Tooie is better. It feels like a grand adventure in an (almost) realistic landscape. Kazooie felt like 9 mini adventures, still good just not as grand. Also, WitchyWorld would have to be not only my favourite Banjo level of all time but probably my favourite level in any platformer EVER! I adore it. The story (whilst still simple) is much more fleshed out than the orginal’s “damsel in distress” story. I love the darker tone. And can we tawk about the supporting characters?? SUCH an improvement on the original. The characters are hilarious and interesting! I still love reading what they have to say even though I now know every word of dialogue by heart. And the new Tooie characters are so good, Jamjars and Grunty’s sisters are great additions. My personal favourite though is Humba Wumba (I feel she doesn’t get enough love). She’s sassy, sexy, mysterious and I LOVE her rivalry with Mumbo, I always get Mumbo to visit her hut just to read her insults hahaha

[@doishooligan]

Your cons: -Low framerate: agreed. -The "not being able to get a move because you're not with the right character" is kind of a silly gripe, don't you think? Jamjars tells you the character you're supposed to be to get the move and finding a way to get to that specific Jamjars with the right character is part of the puzzle the game wants you to figure out. -The transformations, some not being too exciting. The same can be said about BK. It's a matter of personal taste, probably. -Canary Mary: agreed. The race on Cloud Cuckooland is painful. -Backtracking: Lol? There are 5 warp points each stage. The only stage that has less warp points is Cloud Cuckooland which has only 2. Isle O'Hags also has a lot of warp points also. -Not having a hability that restricts progression: I've seen people in the comments already mentioned Metroidvania. This isn't an issue, it's part of the game design. If you like it or not, it's more of a matter of personal taste, again. -Bigger, barren stages that are a hassle to explore. Again, I don't think that's the case on this game. I can see your point of view, however for a lot of people that likes this game, exploring was part of the fun when playing it for the first time. -Not knowing where to go: look, from the perspective of someone like me, that easily gets lost in most games that don't have a map, I've never felt like I didn't know where to go. But I also should mention that I've played this game a fuck ton of times, so Idk. -Collectable notes: Oh, I agree completely. The notes should be single, making a total of 100 just like BK. I don't know why they decided to do like this, considering the stages are bigger, they could even put 200 notes in singles for all I care. Yes, I like collecting in collectathons. -Less charm: because of the talking collectables? Lol. -Stop n' swop: I don't care. -Dragon-Kazooie: there are a couple of jiggies in dark places in Glittergulch Mine where having an infinite number of fire eggs is very useful. Although, by the time you have Dragon-Kazooie, those jiggies are most likely already done, so yeah, I don't think Dragon-Kazooie is very useful. Also, some enemies run away from her B fire attack. Some people also include the FPS sections and the amount of similar minigames as cons. Also a matter of personal taste. I played BT before I ever got the opportunity of playing BK, which I played the first time when I borrowed from a friend when I was 17. So that's probably why I like BT more than BK. I never got to experience Banjo Kazooie as a kid, but I always wanted to play it since it was the predecessor of my favorite game. And although I liked the game a lot, I still do, actually, I was kind of disappointed. The stages were small, contained, the first time I played Mumbo's Mountain for exemple, I completed the level under 15 minutes and never had to go there for the rest of the playthrough. And that's a shame, I really liked the level song. There's a very weird lack of bosses, most jiggies are too easy to get... And again, it's not a bad game. I actually played it more times after my first time and it's probably one of my favorite 3D platformers. But in my personal opinion, it's not better than Tooie.

[@Mortablunt]

To bring up what you said about the transformations, just about all the Kazooie transformations were honestly kinda shit. Termite, walrus, pumpkin, and bee all have no means of defending themselves, and only serve to get you through some environment BS. You didn't really do much with them except collect 1 jiggie a piece. Except the termite, which was needed for 2. Tooie made way better uses of transformations. Apart from the detonator and the baby rex, they were all pretty cool and useful in some way or other. The bee especially was just so awesome -- unlimited fly, fast movement available, and a stinger machine gun. Even transformations that didn't do much, like the van or the big rex, were still awesome and fun because you could just go wreck shit or it changed how you navigated levels.

[@poudink5791]

It's really not any more difficult to pull off than a hub world is. You just have to place level entrances in other levels instead of putting them all in the hub level. There are a ton of "open world" SM64 romhacks that use this technique, like Star Revenge 3.5 and Star Revenge 8.

[@Rihcterwilker]

​@@poudink5791 that's a surface level way of doing it. In Tooie the levels have continuity in a way that makes sense. The end of a river may lead to a waterfall in another level, that may lead to the sea in another. This makes the environment a believable place and also turns the whole world into a massive puzzle box.

[@retrooni]

Sooooo late to the party, but i heard a rumour that while working banjo kazooie, going whole hog into the children friendly overly cutesy aesthetics was at the start great and was exactly as they wanted, it apparantly began to irriate the crew, leading to conker bad fur day, as a vent. Coming back to banjo tooie, the crew apparantly decided for their mental health they would just allow a bit of a dark edge into the game, hence the more sinister stuff here

[@TheGoldenBolt]

Something I've said for a couple years now is that people really didn't realize what they were asking for with Banjo-Threeie. Yooka-Laylee, I'd argue, was in essence Threeie in that it was a sequel to Tooie, but what everybody _wants_ from Threeie is more Kazooie, NOT more Tooie. And that's not to rag on Tooie, of course, just an observation!

My personal favorite is tootie just because a lot of small changes and additions, but I can understand why people take issue with some of the world design. I never liked grunt industries or terrydactyland. I still think they're better than clankers cavern and rusty bucket bay. Kazooie didn't handle water levels very well. Overall, they're both amazing, but each one is for different reasons. I liked all of the new moves, and the fly and swim controls are way better. Every move, item, and character they add is amazing, but the world design and cut scenes can be pretty bad sometimes.

Kazooie for me for sure. I remember getting tooie and begin so excited as a huge kazooie fan.

It was work. I put it down there around 70 or so jiggies and never went back.

[@kasig2013]

Yeah, I pretty much agree with you. Though I love this game and have a huge amount of nostalgia for it, I can't ignore its flaws.

This game’s plot horrified me as a kid lol. Skeleton Grunty was so disturbing to me then

[@Kohchu]

When I was younger, I always liked Tooie more then Kazooie; but many small things made me appreciate Kazooie more then Tooie over time. The fact of the matter is, Banjo-Kazooie was designed better around the concepts, abilities and themes that it set forward; and rewards you more for memorizing those and learning off them. There's never any situations in Kazooie where the game expects you to do something completely out of nowhere to solve something that you are never hinted at or told about. Everything is more straight forward; Fight a mini-boss, solve a puzzle, collect 5 Jinjos, play a Mini-game, collect X number of objects, it's straightforward, but the theme and the fact that not every level does these makes them exciting to find and complete. Plus, the fact that levels are large; but not massive; means it's easy to find your way around (Treasure Trove Cove is a large level; but I can still recall the entire layout without a map). Then we get to Tooie; which has a massive issue with consistency and logic. While the game is larger; and does expand upon many ideas, I feel it doesn't do them very well. Why do I need a Bill Drill to break giant rocks in Tooie, when the same Beak Bash could destroy rocks of the same size in the first game? If you wanted to add the Bill Drill to offer a newer way to use it; why not have obstacles that make sense to compliment this, which they do in later levels, like the Screws you need to undo in Grunty Industries; yet nothing in the game ever hints you can do this making the use of the Bill Drill highly confusing since it's not explained. If Beak Bash could destroy giant rocks in Kazooie, don't use the Bill Drill for the same purpose and make the Beak Bash useless; that devalues previous moves entirely and makes it inconsistent on what new abilities the new move offers. And I get that Jamjars says Bottles only taught "Novice" moves and that his were the "Advanced" versions; but most of Jamjars moves are an extension to what Bottles taught you; not a direct upgrade unlike the Bill Drill. I recall maybe 1 time in the entire game where the Beak Bash is mandatory in Tooie. Same can be said for the Wading Boots, which were very commonly used in Kazooie to bypass dangerous hazards; yet in Tooie, while hazards are everywhere; the Wading Boots seem to have been forgotten completely. And it's not logical; since the Running Shoes from the first game are used all over the place for various reasons, and got an improvement since they can run on water in Tooie. In regards to the Wading Boots, you are generally given completely new moves to avoid the hazards entirely; which makes their use fall out and diminish over time. The stages are massive; but apparently; the stage size didn't improve their ability to make use of certain level themes. For Example: Hailfire Peaks has both Fire and Ice themes, seems like a stage where filling 10 Jiggies would be a snap right? One of the Jiggies is collected by going through the Stomping Plains in Terry Dactyl Land as Banjo, hitting a switch, and going through a transition which takes you to Hailfire Peaks; it's basically a 11th Terry Dactyl Land Jiggy, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Not to mention; Tooie kinda got out of hand when it comes to item distribution. The 100 Notes in Kazooie would've fit Tooie way more, as the larger stages would've been more manageable if the notes were sprinkled around to show you where you have and haven't been; but the Note Nests and Treble Clefs make collection Notes Trivial to say the least. Especially since they are only needed to get Jamjars moves in this game (They don't block your path with Note Doors like they did in the first), so Note collecting isn't nearly as important in Tooie as it was in Kazooie. The most you need is 765 for the final move; yet the game still has 900; which means it's basically possible to skip a full level of collecting Notes in Tooie. In Kazooie; you could also do that, but there were bonus unlockables at the end if you gathered basically all the notes; incentivizing 100% with a reward. There's also things like needed Glowbos for Humba Wumba and Mumbo Jumbo; something that could've been made more interesting by hiding them in tricky locations to make their discovery rewarding; but a hint from Jamjars early on; tells you they are never more then a brisk walk away from those locations. On 2 instances; it's downright insulting; where the Glowbo is LITERALLY right inside Mumbo's Skull or Wumba's Wigwam making the gathering of them completely pointless. Mumbo's Skull in the original game had some goodies hidden in it; like occasionally a Jinjo or items, but I don't recall it ever having a Mumbo's Token in it. Overall, stuff like this, some may call it nitpicking, but it really does add up to the overall experience. Both games are great; but when you have two great games side by side; it's the one with the smaller problems that will just fall short. Banjo-Kazooie had fewer tiny problems; but Tooie has so many, it can sometimes feel exhausting. There are many moments in Tooie I shudder at the thought of returning too; but Kazooie there's maybe only 1 or 2 instances I think that way.

It's great because the whole level is a puzzle. Nothing like being a pre internet kid working out the whole place for yourself from opening to the door to getting inside to opening the gates to summitting the factory to beating the boss to getting all the jiggies. When you first get to it, it's confusing and overwhelming. But as you clear it, it opens up, you learn your way around, and gradually it opens up and then you've conquered it. I can't think of any other game level that does that all on its own. The closest I can think of is Luigi's Mansion over the course of the entire game.

My problem was that it was too big of a world, which I liked at first, but it involved so much back-tracking so frequently and they didn't make it easy to tell what the hell to do next, so... I have up playing near the end. I never had enough jiggies to progress, because I needed a move to get jiggies, but I couldn't find those moves no matter how hard I looked. So I was stuck in an endless loop of not finding a move, so I'd continue to the next stage in hope for one that I could then take back to a previous one, but as I got further into the game, that became impossible. I'd spent way too long wasting my time searching every nook and cranny of every level for a move or jiggy that I missed. And there's no way in hell I wanted to watch a 100% walkthrough of that shit either, for very obvious reasons. So while I really enjoyed Tooie at first, my patience wore thin at the end and I dropped it. Which is why I think that Kazooie is the better game. Tooie has everything that I'd love in a sequal to Kazooie, but when you find yourself feeling softlocked, because they made it purposefully confusing, then I just can't quite get behind it like I wanted to.
