In anticipation of Yooka Laylee, Did You know Gaming takes a look at some facts, secrets, and Easter eggs of the Banjo-Kazooie franchise. Banjo-Kazooie was created by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 (N64). The game, along with it's sequel Banjo-Tooie was re-released for the Xbox 360, and later the Xbox One via Rare Replay. The series' platforming gameplay was revised for the third game in the series, Nuts and Bolts. Banjo-Kazooie's game play and design changed drastically compared to the its beta, and the game has possible connections to Donkey Kong 64.

Banjo Kazooie is like the Arkham trilogy, first two great, last one makes you spend too much time in a car.

[@devong1838]

Arkham Knight is good though, it's just that the PC port was garbage on release. PC performance is all people look for in videogames anymore. Arkham Knight expanded wonderfully on the mechanics ok Arkham City. Unless you're talking about Arkham Origins. Which I doubt you are - nobody even remembers that existed. And for good reason too, it's just a carbon copy of Arkham City.

The main problems with Nuts and Bolts are that the levels are pretty huge and pretty god damn empty, and you could literally replace the main characters with anyone and lose nothing. Fucking, Mario and Luigi could be building cars to stop Bowser from taking over the Mushroom Kingdom.

[@NoeLPZC]

Well the levels are huge and empty because you need space to drive/fly around. It'd be pretty shit if you had to drive slowly and maneuver around tight corners in a vehicle sandbox game. As for your second "problem"... doesn't Yooka-Laylee show that you could just as easily replace Banjo and Kazooie in the N64 games too? I guess Kazooie is pretty redundant in Nuts & Bolts though, so point taken.

[@elyktsorb9832]

Well to that end aside from having some roads, most of the levels aren't easily traversed by car. Let's take the first level for example, the one with a crap ton of vertical space that has absolutely nothing in it, and the sea all around it, with absolutely nothing in it. Also what you described as a shit is the inside of the console level in the game. I'm not saying worlds can't be big, but when they're only big because you made your game a car racer, snd if you're going to do that make it so levels are fun to traverse by car. You'll immediately be flying everywhere once you can because it's so much easier. There's no point in exploring the levels since every objective is there on your mini map to find. I say the replacement bit due to the fact that Banjo and Kazooie are literally stripped of everything that made them. No powers, no moves, no abilities, just a car. You can put anyone in a car. Also I didn't mean just replacing them with their equivalent but just different looks, I meant like an actual different character. Like Jontron said, it could have been Tiptup's Nuts and Bolts and it wouldn't have been any different because none of Banjo and Kazooies original character moves or abilities were there.

[@NoeLPZC]

Elyk Tsorb You don't have flying parts for the first level so it makes perfect sense for it to be mostly flat. The water around the edges acts as a natural barrier as well as being a sandbox for water vehicles if the player wants to mess around with those parts. It's a decently designed first level - not great, but definitely not horrible. Again, the L.O.G. Box level is, from memory, where you first get flying parts (propellers) so it makes sense to introduce verticality in that way. The level is designed for slow, helicopter-type vehicles. Then there's the more open Jiggoseum when you get high-powered parts and can let loose. So you see, the levels are designed to fit the kinds of vehicles the player will most likely be using. As for the character replacement, yes I agree with you.

[@Untouchaable]

[@morale.9330]

I love the leap of logic Rare took concerning Edison's design; Scrapping him because he didn't match the more "mature" world the developers were crafting for Dream, yet deciding to replace him with an arguably more cartoonish character in the form of a hip anthropomorphic animal character(bear) who skateboards and wears only a tee/shorts and a backpack...

[@HowwUdurin]

This was my favorite game as a child and if Rare made a true successor it would make my adult life. My children will grow up playing the classics from (S)NES, 64, etc and show appreciation for how revolutinary it was. Never forget where you come from and who helped you get where you are now.

Nuts and bolts is an insult on the original two we need a proper 3rd game

[@victoriousf.i.g.3311]

Nuts and Bolts would have been a decent standalone game. Shoehorning B&K into the title alienated both folks who might have been interested in the core concept of Nuts and Bolts AND Banjo-Kazooie fans who would be disappointed by a Banjo-Kazooie game that wasn't a Banjo Kazooie game. They literally ensured that the game wouldn't have any appeal to any significant demographic.

[@MutchGames]

Kamron Edwards I'll agree with you about losing your notes on Banjo Kazooie but Banjo Tooie required a lot of level backtracking and the levels weren't as good, but it had some great RARE easter egg throwbacks like saberman.

[@cameronedwards6581]

I Disagree, I grew up with Tooie and only just recently beat Kazooie. There are warps everywhere, which makes back tracking better than the first game, also you backtrack more often so you are more used to it, than in the first game, where you back track once, and it was annoying. Also I disagree with the worse levels. I love all the levels in Banjo Tooie, and especially the later ones like Hailfire Peaks, where as in in Kazooie, I only really like the Mumbo's Mountain, Treasure Trove Cove, Freezezzy Peak. Gobi's Valley, and Maybe Bubble Gloop Swamp. And Don't get me started on Rusty Bucket Bay, please. Also the fact that you lost your notes after death made the levels worse (especially Rusty Bucket Bay)It Probably is better on the Xbox though, If only I had other reason to get it, other than Rare Replay. Anyway this is just personal preference, and i respect your opinion, I'm just giving mine to defend one of my favourite games of all time.(Also it may just be nostalgia, but i can't really find any problems to Banjo Tooie other than maybe the frame rate, but it doesn't bother me.)

No JonTron in this one? NO JONTRON IN THIS ONE?! *NO JONTRON IN THIS ONE?!* AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII HOLY SHIT WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS TO US GODDAMMIT HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US?!

[@brettlarch8050]

I only came here after banjo was put into smash bros!

So, that was a BIG mistake of Nintendo... not buying Rare :-/

[@AwesomeHairo]

One of Nintendo's biggest blunder.

there was. so microsoft had it, too.

g.calvertmusic Most of the games made by Rare were successful and helped to create a awesome image of Nintendo. Besides, the creative potential that the original team had was incredible. They made games really unique. I believe that there was IP's with potential, just there was more lack of vision by Nintendo... in Rare they worked not just for the money, I think.

[@kryzethx]

Meh. Not a big deal. It was worse for Rare than it was for Nintendo. Not to mention... Rare let themselves be bought by Microsoft. They could have said no. They could have been the ones to ask Nintendo (not wait for Nintendo to ask them). Doesn't really matter either way; their style of gameplay (3D platformer, collect-a-thon) would quickly become outdated and obsolete.

Chris Reyes​​​ It also could be that business didn't work like that back then. Apparently for Rare money mattered more than any other consequence, so Microsoft probably made a good offer. Gameplay? Really? That is the easiest thing to adjust and improve. What Rare had was creativity, an unique storytelling and art style. In hand with Nintendo they could have been creating new great stuff. That is why it do matters.

[@bookid1581]

Did you know: They finally came back after so damn long

[@NikkiRoesslerBFDIFan64]

I remember and love Banjo-Kazooie and I'm so excited for Yooka-Laylee :D

[@YouCanCallMeXoe]

As bad as Nuts & Bolts is, I do have to give them credit where credit is due. I personally adore Banjo and Kazooie's redesigns.

[@willycheez7218]

It's not bad

[@hvaneansen6172]

I'm a simple man, I see Banjo Kazooie and I hit like.

[@cvanims]

Am I the only one that wants to see the supposed completely remade Mumbo's Mountain? :O

[@jamswilly9433]

You came here after the smash thing Ye? YOU BeTteR LiKe

[@vaporon2544]

Hey you all know this but Banjo in smash 5

[@ICocoRice]

In other words it was Nintendo and Activition's Fault for Rare Falling Into Microsoft..... why Nintendo why!!!

[@whycantijusthaveausernameo3993]

In other words it was microsofts fault for treating a good property so poorly. Why microsoft, why?

[@AltimaNEO]

Such a waste. They used them for dicking around with their avatars and shitty kinect sports games.

[@Bakkland]

microsoft is widely known for shitting all over everything

[@yoshinat13]

Mistakes were made ! Sadly, it can happen...

[@supermarku2196]

i wouldn't blame it on Activision. You do realize they would probably force the team to make unoriginal shooters every year and have toys-to-life characters that would be absolute expensive.

[@CharityDiary]

Nuts & Bolts was actually a really fun game.

[@giornothepastaboss285]

KZbin knows I want them for SUPER SMASH BROS ULTIMATE! Hopefully tomorrow

[@gabrielschott3835]

wish granted

[@Sgt-Wolf]

Ask and you shall receive.

He made it in smash Welcome home banjo

[@RealJoey]

Where's JonTron?!?!

[@RealJoey]

I mean don't get me wrong, this guy is cool, but where is JonTron

[@nlkko]

I mean, this guy is cool BUT WHERE IS JONTRON

He died 3 days ago...

[@DanielA-yg3un]

Did you know? Nuts and Bolts is actually a really fun game if you give it a chance!

[@RShonta]

I gave it a chance...stupid vehicles.

[@DanielA-yg3un]

GleamEyes Have you actually played the game though? Hint: Watching a let's play or a review does not count.

[@RShonta]

Like I said, I did give it a chance. The vehicles handled SO poorly and the levels felt SO empty! I wanted to like it but I rage quitted after the first level! IT WAS A MAJOR REASON I EVEN GOT AN XBOX 360! This game made me ditch it! I haven't touched that thing in years!

[@kmichael9787]

You're probably shit at making vehicles if they handled poorly. To quote a great poet, 'get good.'

[@DanielA-yg3un]

K Michael Exactly. I never had any vehicle control issues. I would make the craziest designs and none of them handled poorly. If anything I would say they handled too good, even the poorly balanced ones and were a little too design restrictive in this.

[@thatfatguy7591]

My favorite N64 game as a kid.

[@origin484]

Ironic how this is in my recommended.

[@Spoonkid222]

For all the JonTron comments: Guys, please stop. As cool as JonTron is, it almost seems like you hate this episode just because JonTron isn't here. I love the Cartoon Gamer, but I was honestly surprised to see little to no comments about him.

[@oxiclean4x]

Fuck you, jontron is the Banjo Kazooie guy

[@NoxWyatt]

@Fluffals are Tier 0 No, he isn't. There are more KZbinrs that like Banjo-Kazooie that aren't JonTron. The world of Banjo-Kazooie on KZbin doesn't revolve around him.

[@alpacamaster5992]

Did you know he should be in smash?Cause he is as of e3 2019!

[@Fireluigi1225]

Did you know? HE IS NOW

You think so?

Who else is here because Banjo is in smash?

What's it to you?

I love these videos! keep up the phenomenal work guys!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:01</a> so basically nintendo fucked up really bad

[@CaptainMasi]

Yeah

I have no idea what I'm talking about man. D:

[@bluedragon9925]

+Wario Ware The only "good" post Nintendo Rare titles that I can think of are Kameo and Viva Piñata for Xbox 360. But even those were pretty much average at best compared to their Nintendo games...

[@GetShrekd]

+BlueDragon992 killer instinct xbone

[@Dracomut]

Well actually it was Rare's fault for not accepting the price and going to Microsoft

[@DrowzyDruid]

IT HAPPENED!!!!

[@EdmacZ]

This popped up in my recommended feed. I already know why. We all know why. Get out of the comment section and watch the video.

[@starrypurrloin9147]

Please make an episode centered around Chao and Chao Gardens. X3

[@linkheroofspiritsakatrains4812]

Anyone else get this in their recommendations post smash revel

[@ElectroBlastLuigi]

Great now people are coming to this video just to say that Banjo Kazooie are in Smash 😂 This video was literally at the top of suggestions because of them. Congratulations Banjo Kazooie fans!

[@MF_JACK]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="300">5:00</a> So Banjo is a sword fighter after all.

Jon should have been the narrator of this one.

Dr. Miles Manners *insert Jon saying swapping games is like Miyamoto saying Super Mario World's release but actually being some Mario city game*

[@TheSneakyStreet]

Dr. Miles Manners people should stop talking about Jon!

[@Girigo94]

He was the narrator for the first one though

[@AarturoSc]

But I was the only one talking about Jon. Jon Arbuckle.

Still waiting for the DYKG episode on the Tales series. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="264">4:24</a> The trees remind me of Donkey Kong Country.

So many years later, and he is finally home.

Bought Banjo-Kazooie day-one, will do the same for Yooka-Laylee.
