Can You Beat Banjo Kazooie As A Washing Machine?

Banjo Kazooie has been out for over 20 years, and only recently did I learn that you can transform into and play the game as a Washing Machine! And surprisingly there's not much game footage out there of this.
So I wanted to know, how much of Banjo Kazooie can you beat playing as a Washing Machine?

[@-sk8-437]

I misread the title and am now a bit disappointed that you aren't playing from a washing machine.

[@asackboyplush6508]

God that would be hilarious

[@pressaTD]

Next time

[@russellsefton3368]

As someone who knows nothing about Banjo and Kazooie, I thought that this was what they were doing

[@hathorthecow7146]

That's more doom than B&K

[@sadgirlhours4088]

​@hathorthecow7146 I was just thinking that lol. Washing machine technology is getting there..... soon.... either that or it's already happened

[@Katzii]

Technically if you wanted to avoid breaking the "no transformation rule" with the pumpkin, there are codes you can enter on the sandcastle floor to raise the water level. However, as these are counted as "illegal codes" (i.e. not ones that you receive in-game from Bottles or Cheato, but ones that are nonetheless programmed into the game), you can only enter two, I believe, as entering a third causes Grunty to erase your game. I believe you can fully raise the water level without exceeding that amount, though, so you could get around it that way.

[@asackboyplush6508]

She only threatens to delete the save, she doesn't actually do it

[@pressaTD]

Oh damn didn’t even think about that!

[@TSRStormed]

The cheats in the sandcastle don't actually raise the water level, but there's a few ways around it with glitches on the Xbox release of the game. The Demo Desync Adventure way wouldn't work because of Bottles Bonus deleting the DDA file after you play it, so Bottles Bonus Desync Adventure or spawning the podium from sandcastle cheats to use Pause Overlap Glitch and Cauldron Cutscene State in a real file would be the only way of skipping it.

[@Katzii]

@@TSRStormed I didn't realise that the water level cheats didn't work in the XBox version - I know it did on the N64 one because I used it and Grunty threatened me 😹

[@Katzii]

@@pressaTD @TSRStormed has fully corrected me on the matter, so definitely read their comments here! Regardless of transformation rule or not, I am genuinely impressed with how many jiggies a washing machine can collect!

[@Warclam]

had completely forgotten about WishyWashyBanjo. It's kind of amazing how functional it is. What a wonder of modern engineering.

[@pressaTD]

Truly!

[@Mrtyjr]

Did you also notice the glitch that when you let Mumbo transform you while being a washing machine and not having paid yet, you won't pay any Mumbo tokens and the sign telling the required Mumbo Tokens disappears? This could allow you to finish the game with the max amount of Mumbo Tokens still in possession (116).

[@TSRStormed]

Sucks that it isn't possible to beat the game because of Furnace Fun. The reason for this is because the game needs to automatically transform you back into Banjo & Kazooie when you come back from the Mr. Vile Minigame on a Timer Square. Just an oversight where that room always has the property of spawning you as Banjo & Kazooie. Great video, love these challenges!

[@pressaTD]

Thank you! Love all the glitches you find in the game!

[@johnrose1641]

Now I honestly can’t stop imagining Banjo as a washing machine winning Grunty’s Furnace Fun and going for the washing machine prize on the stand - freeing his comrade - instead of his sister. As Grunty is escaping upstairs… Tooty: Pick me! Pick me! Kazooie: We’ll take that grotty, old thing. (referring to the Grunty plushie) Banjo: Kazooie! How could you leave a fellow washing machine here to remain Grunty’s laundry slave?! I may not be taking back my old sister, but today we welcome in a new brother! Tooty: WHAT?? You fought your way through hazardous sewage, arid deserts, and haunted graveyards as that old hag mocked you only to enable her makeover at my expense?? Grunty (returning to her podium): From upstairs, I heard Banjo’s silly voice - You have truly made a wise choice! You will never have to worry about not being clean and I’ll be the most gorgeous woman you’ve ever seen! I’ve still got Dingpot to wash my cute threads. That new dress will surely turn heads! He’ll have to admit I’m the pinnacle of hot, as I dig into my pretty nose for fresh snot! Enjoy the washer you’ve worked so hard to win - I’ll enjoy being curvy and thin! Thanks once more playing, but I cannot be further delaying; C’mon, Tooty - back into your pod! You’re the key to my perfect bod!

[@pressaTD]

That was beautiful

[@DanielBlaney]

Obviously that's actually what happened. That's why dingpot complains about having to wash grunties clothes.

[@Deadlock21]

Technically, since we cant give chimpi the orange, we Technically never *unlock* eggs.... sooo

[@GamingEelektross]

If not for Furnace Fun resetting transformations to regular Banjo & Kazooie Id say that eggs on the final boss would be an exception. Otherwise, I think there's only five jiggies collected here that require eggs.

[@Mrtyjr]

Paradox. In order _not_ to ever unlock eggs you need to be a washing machine which itself _needs_ eggs unlocked first.🔁😵‍💫

[@ZeldagigafanMatthew]

I'm just going to assume the Furnace Fun Moves bug was used.

[@joyconboyz1409]

The question we’ve all been asking since 1998!

[@mohammadazad8350]

People born after 1998: ah yes, of course...

[@TSRStormed]

I went through the video again and here's a list of all the things that were missed but possible: 1. You can get on top of Conga's Tree and jump over to the top area in talon trot to get the Witch Switch and Conga Jiggy 2. Termite Tower was changed on the NTSC 1.1, Japanese, and Xbox releases to patch the slope abuse method of climbing the tower. However, you can do frame perfect mid air jumps in Talon Trot to reach the top. This is probably THE hardest trick in the entire game but is possible by a human as I've done it several times. Or you can play on NTSC 1.0 or PAL to make it easier as stated in the video. 3. It should be possible to beak bomb out of bounds using various methods in Freezeezy Peak to get into Wozza's Cave to get the last Jinjo without the Walrus. 4. On every N64 version, you can do a glitch called timer abuse where you can repeatedly pause the game to delay the timer. Doing this, its possible to run over to the Freezeezy Peak Lobby flight pad to obtain the Witch Switch Jiggy. On Xbox this is "patched" (the port team changed how the pause menu works so its a consequence of that not a real patch per say). You can also do this for the Church later in the video. 5. There are various methods on Xbox that let you skip the water level, but most take you out of the Washing Machine or don't even allow you to unlock the Washing Machine at all. The one method that could work to your benefit would be the Pause Overlap Glitch method. During the cutscene that drains the water in the sandcastle, if you open the Xbox menu before the transition into the sandcastle and close it after the transition, you can use the pause menu while you're playing. After that, if you do a glitch called Cauldron Cutscene State where you jump into a Cauldron while its showing the other location of the Cauldron you already activated, you can then spawn into any cutscene that shows you a different map in the game. If you enter the cheat for the Click Clock Wood Puzzle Podium to spawn early without hitting the switch, you can use the Pause Overlap Glitch's Grunty fade out after pressing exit game to walk into Click Clock Wood and skip the water level. If you want to get into Rusty Bucket Bay, you can jump from the loading zone above the 640 Note Door to get over to the area where the RBB Witch Switch Jiggy spawns to hit the third water switch which allows you to get up to Rusty Bucket Bay. Extra: There is a way to transfer the Bottles Bonus flags to the Demo Desync Adventure file by doing all the Bottles Bonus minigames and signing out of your Xbox profile. Once you do Demo Desync Adventure, you can head down to Treasure Trove Cove and unlock WishyWashyBanjo without having to get the sandcastle jiggy and getting 50 notes as Banjo & Kazooie. As of typing this, there is no way of getting into Treasure Trove Cove early on Xbox as Banjo & Kazooie (there is an N64 method but it requries lag on Xbox which it doesn't have) which means you'll still have to collect 2 jiggies somewhere. This doesn't mean its impossible, as finding a bit clip setup would be the solution but no one has found one as of late. Even before this video I've been trying to find this and its only a matter of time before its found. But yeah, there is no way (even in a TAS setting) to beat the game as the Washing Machine because of Furnace Fun, but maybe someday we'll find something to make this possible :)

[@joebykaeby]

Yesss there is never enough Banjo Kazooie content in my life

[@pressaTD]

My thoughts exactly

[@CineScarborough]

This looks like the kind of thing my late Grandad would have had fun with (he passed away back in 2007). He played a lot of games, and in particular enjoyed anything that was a bit quirky, so he would have jumped at playing as a washing machine.

[@StonerWeeb]

[@spartacusthememelord6890]

One could say that being a washing machine puts quite a difficult SPIN on things! This challenge wasn't a very CLEAN sweep of a run! I bet after this Press A is feeling pretty DRAINED! ...okay I'll stop now.

[@fabuloussuperstar]

Don't worry, you're not crazy. You can ground pound for the pink jinjo, but its probably not a thing for Xbox, or its because your hitbox is smaller for the washing machine. It is also possible for the egg, but its near frame perfect, at least for N64. Entering the church and collecting the grunty switch jiggy for Freezeezy Peak is possible, you just need to constantly pause the game will allow you to delay the timer each time.

[@kulrigalestout]

5:52 Before this, the closest I have ever come to seeing a flying appliance was when some dude put a lawnmower-shaped chassis on his RC airplane. That, too, was a majestic sight.

[@Jsuelieta]

Fun fact about the xbla version and trying to get this code so early: Any scene where Banjo collects notes in the puzzles used to cause them to disappear in the levels, too, as they were considered 'collected' but not added to your total. This is, reportedly and thankfully, patched, but was annoying for me when I played the xbla version and couldn't 100% the game because of it.

[@CyberchaoX]

Yeah, I had a feeling that the answer would be no because of how close to 100% this game makes you get.

[@e-mananimates2274]

I think a good number of the Washing Machine's problems are caused by being unable to interact with certain flags and hitboxes along with the failure to play certain character animations. My guess is that Rare saw this problem from the start and reverted Banjo back to his original form once he reached Grunty's Furnace Fun. Otherwise, he won't be able to correctly interact with the question squares and potentially break the segment (i.e. run over the squares without clearing them). By the way, I discovered this little bit of hitbox interaction when I had Bee Banjo explore the other worlds. Apparently, going into little holes with loading zones is not enough. I believe these loading zones are tied to a specific character ID assigned to each of Banjo's forms. Otherwise, we would see Bee Banjo inside Mr. Vile's arena. It also explains why the loading zone for the water switch mausoleum is unusual. While the player perceives a hole, it is really just a texture on a flat set of polygons. When Banjo is in his pumpkin form, he activates the loading zone and is locked into an animation where he bypasses the level collision and enters through the texture of the whole.

[@diskoBonez]

This vid was super entertaining and well edited, subscribing! I can't believe I never looked at Bottles portrait in first person a single time. The secrets in this series are incredible. Going to try this out right now!

[@HereticYoshi]

I tried something similar to this once for some friends on a stream a long time ago, but a lot more casually and with some gameshark cheats on. It's interesting to see what you can get away with since the game treats it as a transformation (or seems to) while still having access to _most_ of Banjo's moveset (i.e. no boots or shoes). There's a surprising amount of things you simply can't interact with because of that, and (as we saw in the video) things that Washing Machine Banjo interacts with strangely, like the egg in BGS.

[@SonicJrandSarah]

12:30 I actually activated that glitch by accident one time.

[@lizard0breath]

Wait, you don't need to become a pumpkin to raise the water and enter Rusty Bucket Bay! There's actually a cheat code just for that! "CHEAT UP YOU GO WITHOUT A HITCH UP TO THE WATER LEVEL SWITCH - Raises the water level near Rusty Bucket Bay" ...This is possibly the first time in the history of the planet that cheat code is useful

[@blackatron666]

It scares me that Banjo-Kazooie is, what, 26 years old now? As a kid back on the N64, I was always confused that people didn't know you could kill Snacker, but it's even more confusing that it's 2024 and people are still only finding out 😂 love watching this challenge though 🙌🏻 I've never thought about doing a challenge as the washing machine so it's interesting to see someone attempt it

[@pholl12]

While you can't do all the jigsaws that require you to be Banjo, you can still make A decent time through the game as Washer Banjo, you can complete the game as normal, then quickly just run through to grab the jiggies that your missing as Banjo and still make A fast time.

All you need is to miss six jiggies and the game is unbeatable. simple as that

[@killlaqueen]

I remember seeing a video on how to get the witch switch puzzle piece that requires the swift boots (without using the swift boots) all you do is constantly pause and unpause while going there and for some reason the timer advances much slower as a result of contant pausing.

[@Ninpalk]

Im late to seeing this video, but you can spam pause to slow down the timer for timer challenges, which would allow you to get into the church in MMM, as well as two more witch switch jiggies, putting the final count to 75 jiggies, 76 if motzhand would acknowledge wishy-washy banjo.

So I noticed a couple things you said you couldn't do that I have done as standard Banjo on the N64 version 1. You can make it into the church without the Turbo Trainers, it takes some very good movemet but it is possible (and I think Pause Buffering helps too, but I didn't need it), I don't know if it's possible on the XBox version or as a Washing Machine though, that would need to be tested 2. You can skip the final Gruntilda puzzle by clipping under the door it opens into Dingpot's room, it's tricky but there are videos out there of it being done, and how I learned of it (obviously this doesn't really matter for the run here since you're not a Washing Machine anymore, but thought I'd mention it)
