Author Notes: Boy this episode was a long time coming. Any body remember the video i put out essentia;lly apologizing that this episode wouldnt happen? It's nice to finally deliver on the promise made back then.
Fun little fact, I was trying to ask the devs behind Banjo Kazooie why there were ropes under spiral mountain. I got a reponse, and although the developer didn't recall why. He did share that at least at one point there wer e"umentionables" underneath Banjos bed. I checked! unfortunately it would seem they removed it before final release

[@RarewareArchives]

The 'tent' objects at 9:54 are pieces of a lock that explodes in the Tower Room. If you can remember, the final battle leading up to Gruntilda is blocked off by a heavy door that has a massive lock on it; once you solve the puzzle to the final fight, the lock explodes and the door opens. Also, there is a Yellow Jinjo that acts as a hidden camera in some scenes, and during the beach scene at the end we have him waving to camera as an in-joke, so there's that.

[@frostyfingers9282]

I can't find a single source for that yellow jinjo / camera claim. Is this legit?

[@chrisivanstromback6071]

you first met bottles and already have a photo of him in the house logic

[@titofap5730]

I think Tooty already knew him, but called him Mr. Mole(?

[@megazap9986]

I met bottles at a fudruckers back in 2008

[@DaniloMotaSoares]

The wood texture in 7:15 has one purpose: Serve as the locked door, indeed, when you're in the sandcastle in a final quiz minigame.

Shesez if you don't do a banjo tooie boundary break you are grounded

[@Dargonhuman]

Wait, when I got grounded as a kid that meant no video games. If Shesez is grounded and can't play games, how is he supposed to do Banjo Tooie?

[@johnegbert7171]

I will force him to do it

[@LiterallyNaven]

I will get a shovel

[@80TheMadLord08]

Speaking of 'grounded' I would love to see Last of Us out of bounds! there is so much to look at in that game.

It's true, he really should do it :/

[@ChinookPiroh]

Just throwing this out there, at the part with the ice key, you can actually enter the code nowyoucanseeaniceicekeythatyoucanhaveforfree in the sandcastle and remove the glass blocking you from that room. Was part of the planned stop 'n' swop where at the time the n64 held memory for a few seconds after being powered off, at which point you'd slap in banjo-tooie and get all kinds of unlockables. Hardware changes canned that idea... Until the xbox re-release

The wood texture in the sandcastle is used if you play the Furnace Fun version. As for its purpose, you're exactly right.

Great episode! Love seeing Pat and hearing what Swanky Box had to say. I also loved animating the intro. Banjo and Kazooie have great designs!

[@BoundaryBreak]

You did another amazing intro good sir. Thank you so much!

[@bretcooper4091]

How do you do the intros? do you do the designs from scratch? and the levels they're in?

[@MichaelChin1994]

Bret Cooper Goodness no! I use a free program called SFM. The community uploads a lot of ports of environments and models from a lot of games.

you should show us how you make one of these episode. I am assuming you run a script that lets you control the camera with a second controller or toggle control.

[@BoundaryBreak]

At some point i will

[@patriousthefallenknight3185]

Shesez can you do a dead space off camera I really want to see what goes on in that game

[@xMarineGG]

Darkking ice its ran in dolphin, theres an option called "free camera" in the setting which allows you to use the mouse and keyboard to move the camera freely, i tried it myself and found some really cool secrets in some gamecube games.

[@the1whoplayz]

Dolphin has an option for moving the camera anywhere and I assume he uses it since I saw the text at the top left

[@jakerobbins314]

I hope so. Especially after this episode. I'm very interested in learning how he figured it out and got Magic Camera™ to work here considering the problems he had with the initial attempt.

[@joshuagrahambrown]

My guess is that the ropes in Spiral Mountain are loaded in when you first boot up a new file, and then when you get all of the training moves Bottles "fixes" the bridge, switching out the broken bridge object with the fixed one. In a similar manner, that door in Treasure Trove Cove would be loaded in its proper place if the Sandcastle challenge was attempted during Furnace Fun. Hope this helps!

[@Malicos]

That Pat reveal was way worth it. Hopefully he comes into the camera more often.

[@TheBoxyBear]

I just discovered your show yesterday after Beta64 mentioned you in his Wario Ware Inc. video. I watched a few of your episodes such as Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64, and instantly fell in love with your show. I then saw the fate of Banjo-Kazooie video, since I enjoyed this game a lot, a wanted this video to become a reality. Then, I see this video in my KZbin suggestions.. Even, better, this video is in. collaboration with SwankyBox, one of my favorite KZbinrs. With all that said, I love your show. Keep up the good work.

[@BoundaryBreak]

Hey everyone! Check out the Secrets Developers Left Behind video I helped with over on SwankyBox's channel! ► kzbin.info/www/bejne/oafGpmqPftl-l6M

[@xSuperFryx]

Your patreon suprised me! I thought it would just get around $90 like what most smaller KZbinrs who start a patreon get. This is a BEYOND successful launch of a patreon. You didn't even advertise it much. Guess people just really love the channel. Glad to see it doing so well :D Also, looks like Pat's identity has finally been Boundary Broken.

[@CuppaJoeGamer]

You guys are awesome. And I gotta say, I love how sincere the laughter is in your voice during the entirety of the video. Thanks for the great content!

[@wsrcultivation]

Got recommended this video because of my love for Banjo Kazooie. Super happy about finding your channel going back and watching all the most interesting episodes and looking forward to new ones.

[@ArcaneEther]

Curious, why are all the "I" characters replaced with ":"?

[@TeaLadyHanner]

Jeremy Higgins most likely a glitch with moving the camera. It could be on a separate layer and with moving the camera it's not properly connected, same reason why you don't see the text boxes. hopes this helps!

[@saasf510]

Hannah Millership was wondering this too thanks :)

[@LiterallyNaven]

Jeremy Higgins it's not only i

[@falllenshadow]

[@bourwaz]

I'm loving this channel! I'd love to see an "Intro" episode. maybe going over how you make these, things you've learned by doing it, common terminology ("culling", "skybox", etc), and such.

Pat needs his own sprite like yours in the channel logo now. Epic video, very GUH HUH!

Hey Shesez, it would be amazing if you could do an Episode of 'Boundary Break' around the 'Borderlands' series. I'm a huge fan of these games and I'm also very excited to see Borderlands 2 tomorrow at AGDQ! As a huge fan of the series I would like to know everything about these games and Boundary Break would be an amazing way to find some secrets that I haven't found yet :) I hope you'll read this, notice me Senpai :^) Also, really good video mate, I think it is an awesome idea to do KZbin full-time now! I'm really hyped about 2017 and the videos you will produce. Btw, you and Andy (A+Start) are my most favourite KZbinrs and i love your work. :) Have a great day.

I really like your show, I've discovered your channel yesterday and I've almost watch every episode of the serie since then! haha! It can actually be quite funny and/or impressive what we can find at some places!

[@jamesmccloud1002]

The wood panel that goes in front of the door in the sandcastle is from the quiz. If you get a time trial they block off the exit so you can't leave and that's what they use to do it.

[@CountMonsparkle]

7:30 You actually get trapped inside the sandcastle during one of the trails in Gruntilda's quiz, that's probably what the wodden plank is used for.

You're going places Shesez

[@user-jl7cz2pe6d]

"I need this game explained!" I see what you did there.

[@itsMKiAM]

The ropes I believe are also part of the geometry that loads in the starting cutscene, as to save on resources. Similar storage can be found within Banjo's Backpack, and has all of the starting cutscene models just waiting to be called in. I can speculate that the devs forgot to remove this. One other thing to note: this may have something to do with the beginning area where the bridge is unconnected, if the player proceeds to learn all the moves at the beginning, rather than skipping Bottles.

[@shayne537]

Love your channel. I like to see graphics, and all the animation

[@LHeyMX]

Hey can you explain to me why in the XBL version of Banjoo Kazooie, Banjo is playing on the gameboy despite being a Nintendo product?

[@GabePuratekuta]

My guess would be that there's no handheld that Microsoft made at the time to replace it

[@alexvirgen4584]

Have you considered an episode on Catherine?

[@BoundaryBreak]

I have not! Interesting to think about though
