Hey guys, this video ended up being so much more work than expected, but I'm happy with how it turned out. It was a nice change of pace, so I'm not opposed to trying more challenge videos in the future. If you have any feedback / suggestions on game(s) I should consider, let me know!

[@DPadGamer]

Thanks, I'll do my best!

[@theluckygamer10]

A suggestion for a few videos: glitches and easter eggs, along with a challenge for A Hat In Time! Challenge: Can you beat it with only the ORIGINAL Kid's Hat? (By "ORIGINAL," I mean the hat you get at the beginning of the game)

[@user-rk4wh1br8b]

You can solve your boredom problem forever in just one jump from somewhere very high

[@PJOZeus]

That’s just ADD.. The reason most people might jump in a game is when you have a consistent move speed and just don’t want to get caught on janky terrain If rolling is faster then by all means - but it’s for a practical reason, that’s the difference

Oh god, I was so confused about death warping until I realized you're not playing the original N64 release so your Jinjos and Notes don't reset xD

[@DPadGamer]

Yeah :p This route would be waaay more jumps without this version.

[@virtualchimera]

Kinda makes me want to dust off my old cartridge and give it a shot, been a few years since I played my favorite game.

[@DPadGamer]

Its always worth a revisit :)

[@wariolandgoldpiramid]

Yeah, that probably should have been mentioned in the video.

[@h_lock6423]

This could still be done in the N64 version because although your jinjos and notes reset upon death, the ‘note score’ is still saved which allows you to open the doors regardless

Why are the best KZbinrs in the comment section?

[@DefectiveDictionary777]

What a down-to-earth video! And your gameplay skills are surely grounded in experience. In terms of entertainment, you truly held nothing back (except for Kazooie's wings). Now that last sentence may have sounded a bit forced, but I just tend to gravitate towards making whatever puns I can. I simply couldn't avoid jumping at the opportunity to engage in cheesy wordplay. Now with my puns expended, I'll just (bird) bounce out! Edit: oops! I almost forgot to (ground) pound that like button! And no, that definitely wasn't just an excuse to make another pun!

[@DPadGamer]

10/10 👏

[@Kazmahu]

Good video! You sound a bit nervous, but I know something new can be hard. There's one critique I have to offer: you really should have said during the rules what version you're using. The only reason this route works is because you're on a version that saves notes. The N64 version, with its best score mechanic, would rule out... pretty much all the deathwarps, and possibly bloat the counter immensely as you have to do a note collecting run on Rusty Bucket Bay before optimizing jiggies. Still, I respect the work you put into this route, and it shows with a good video!

[@DPadGamer]

You're right, I should have specified why I picked the Xbox version, thats my bad. (Edit: And on the first point; it was like 5% nerves, 95% sleep deprivation)

[@Kaitri]

I recommend getting an emulator. Being my fave game (s) i obviously fan drool but these games changed my life. They tought me more About social behavior than school ever did

[@SleeplessStreams]

If you were to collect a ton of health boosts you could probably damage boost the first half of the floor match puzzle in Gobi's Valley. The solution is always the same, so if you memorize it, you can (hypothetically) do less jumps with that than you would with some of the other ones.

[@piplup10203854]

I would love to see how many jumps does it take to beat Super Mario Sunshine :D but I loved this! Super cool to be able to say you only need X amount of jumps to beat a game :)

[@jacksonholder2987]

Unfortunately, unlike Mario Odyssey, Mario doesn't really have a reliable way to gain height without using the rocket nozzle or jumping. Hovering from the ground gives barely as much height as a standard jump, if that. Even worse, the rocket nozzle is not always available in every episode, and to add insult to injury, each world contains 2 levels that require jumps since your F.L.U.D.D is removed. There just isn't as much for creativity as there is in other Mario games.

[@jumponeverything]

This video was a really cool change from your usual types of videos and I think you should definitely do more like this!

[@HarbingerIV]

Suggestions for removing jumps: Clankers: Jumping for the jiggy on back could be removed by roll-flapping off screw? Gobis: if you do pyramid last, you can quit game instead of jumping out of coffin. You have 13 notes more than you need. Surely some jumps can be cut here, for ex in CCW

[@AvenirRacing]

Yo this is SO cool! Banjo is one of my favourite games ever and it's awesome to see people do crazy shit like this in it.

This and Banjo-Tooie are some of my all time favorite games, thanks for the nostalgia and challenge :).

The sheer loathing you have for rusty bucket bay...you are a true Banjo Kazooie veteran. Ive played that game through 100 percent and the only world that ever kills me it that blasted bay.

[@banjkazfan]

Coming back and watching this again after your Banjo-Tooie least-jumps run is so wild, just to see the difference in numbers. Both are amazing accomplishments! It’s interesting how the Tooie levels almost seem to be designed more horizontally to me than the more vertical Kazooie levels. Love the content as always!

[@lankmephierlewis]

Watching the Banjo-Tooie video before this one certainly got my expectations too high

[@whitefox411-gamer7]

6:58 You can skip these jumps over the pipes by walking towards the edge (a critical step, since otherwise you'll just claw swipe off into the water), roll-attacking, and quickly pressing A in midair + another A press for the flutter (if needed)

[@TaIathar]

The following is constructive criticism and spoilers. You have been warned. I'll just use this open space to say thanks DPadGamer for a great video. Makes me want to try doing this sometime. At 12:01 the 54th jump can be avoided by running off the edge and rat-a-tat-rap'ing back into the egg breaking it and allowing you to land on top, skipping a jump. Jump: -1 At 13:40 instead of leaving the level each time, just get Sir Slush to throw a snowball at you and then bear punch it for a honeycomb. Simplicity: +1 At 14:20 using somewhat precise movement, you can grab the Jiggy in the tree by jumping off the pillar and up onto the top. Jumps: -1 At 17:20 Nice style points, but you don't need to jump onto Rubi's head. You can just Jump onto the snake's basket. Simplicity: +1 At 19:16 You can skip the first 2 jumps by being damage boosted to the 2nd ledge by the Piranha. Jumps: -2 At 29:18 Doesn't death reset your Jinjo count? I'm pretty sure it does. Jumps: +(1)? (however many it takes to get out of blue jinjo box) Alternatively, use 1 jump to get out of the water after getting the pink Jinjo and get the blue Jinjo last, then death warp (to keep the Jiggy ofc). At 31:21 You don't need to jump to reach that shock jump pad, you can walk off the edge and flutter onto it. Very difficult, but doable. Jumps: -1 At 32:06 The left side of the hive is easier imo but viewers should do what works best for them. Simplicity: +1 At 32:56 Repeating a non-jump. Jumps: -1 At 33:34 All of these jumps can be avoided by doing a flutter into a ground pound near the top of the slope. Jumps: -3 Total: -8 Jumps and +3 Simplicity

[@DPadGamer]

My responses (also contains spoilers) 1) You HAVE to Beak Barge, which requires being on the ground, crouching, and attacking. A rat-a-tat-rap doesn't work. 2) I never said you have to leave every time, just the once after getting the Sir Slush jiggy to respawn them. Its so you can use their damage boost to reach the flight pad jumpless, nothing about health, thought thats a good idea. 3) Not a bad idea, you're welcome to try it yourself but that platform is suprisingly high up compared to the surrounding circular walkway. A bird bounce (most likely) won't get you there, and I'm pretty sure the lip at the top of the pole will prevent you from gaining much height. Still, might be possible. 4) Its impossible to reach the Snake's basket with a single jump. I tried, for like 10 minutes. If you pull it off, i'd love to see over on twitter. 5) If you read the note, the fish doesn't come close enough for a damage boost, nor does it boost you high enough to get to the second alcove. 6) It only resets on the N64 version, this is the Xbox One (well, XBLA) version. 7) You say that, but I tried those alcoves for twenty minutes. Its wider than the previous alcove wall. Unless someone has incredible frame precise inputs, I don't think its possible. 8) I did left side, which wasn't correct, which is why I said right side. Do as I say, not as I do :p 9) Same point as 7. 10) I've tried, for a long time. I am 90% sure it doesn't work. Hope it doesn't come off as dismissive, just trying to cover all the points.

Nice video bro Keep up the grind

[@Stereo4Radio]

At 14:17 you can save a jump. At the top of the pole, neutral jump until you clear the lip and then hold forward and you will land on the platform with the jiggy. Awesome video btw, was fun to see you overcome a lot of tricky situations with ingenuity

[@NightNinja]

Banjo Kazooie has always been one of my favorite games too. I did a casual speedrun of it with my friend a few years back, and was amazed at how much more I learned about the game from doing that.

The Sonic Team & Knuckuls Heya

[@marinaruiz5281]

oh, I just realized it was 40 minutes long with your comment... now I'm worried with how I'm spending my night

[@OmegaChase1002]

i think activating the flight pad should count as a jump since banjo jumps high BEFORE kazooie starts flying. And shock pads should be two jumps since the animations has banjo doing a short jump before kazooie does the high jump.

[@ellieblunden1463]

That's not a user input though. If that was a justification for adding them to the counter then you'd have to add every puzzle piece too (banjo jumps in the air after grabbing it) and I'm sure that's the case with some other collectables too.

[@Snypor]

I'm curious, how many Game Overs (from all lives lost) and or game resets did you get when recording all of this?

[@NicholasOvi]

34:44 I think for this you could skip the jump by falling off of the jump pad behind the CCW entrance and quickly pressing A for the moment you're mid air. It's especially harder since you can't see the jump pad, but it is another potential jump save.

[@ISoloYouRelax]

I've watched this video multiple times and I still come back to watch it.

[@cvanims]

[@1sdani]

The first Jiggy can be collected if we add to Jump's definition of "Using Jump, Feather Flap Flip, or Shock Spring Jump" the condition "on the ground or in water". If Banjo slides off a ledge while crouching, he can use a Feather Flap Flip while in the air.

[@ProBatman51]

I use the “Bird Bounce” also

[@JonathanMillerMusic]

[@johannhowitzer]

You can exit a level by dying, and you'll keep your note score and any jiggies you collected. The speedrun does this to leave Treasure Trove Cove without watching the "got all ten jiggies" fanfare. This will let you skip many jumps, including the two to get back out of the ship in TTC - you can save that jiggy for last and leave the level by drowning.

[@DPadGamer]

That doesnt work. It doesnt save the gold bars you collect if you die.

Fortunately, since a consistent method of furnace fun skip has been found, you won't even need to waste time with the joker spaces. It doesn't save jumps, but it does save time.
