[@Sprokacola]

Banjo-Tooie is still my favourite game of all time hands down. There was just so much to do and explore, the worlds we're all memorable and the addition of bosses for each world made it so much more satisfying. I'm not going to say this game is perfect and everyone should love it but for me Tooie is the best sequel I've ever played.

[@erickmaverick3128]

+Sprokacola Yeah. They really went all out on the sequel, giving you new moves from the beginning, and add more on top of it is brilliant. Also, I loved the worlds and the background music that accompanies it, too. This games boasts variety, which is always good. :)

[@lukedinkler]

+Sprokacola Same. Still my All-time favorite game ever made!

+Sprokacola I agree with you so much! Kirk Granthope best composer for the game his music fits the game the game is quirky and the characters were the best i wish they developed the game more like how they improved Super Mario

I consider Banjo-Tooie to be the magnum opus of Rare, with Donkey Kong Country 2 bring just a smidge behind it.

[@SKyrim190]

I don't understand why backtracking is seen as such a bad thing nowadays. As long as you are discovering new sections of an old level, it is always fun and interesting, it is like seeing this mysterious land unfold before your eyes, as you gain new abilities! When you go through it just one time it is like you are following a track in an amusement park.

[@BLOODY__FATALITY]

Luiz Soranco de Paula Sarchis I personally never liked back tracking. I've always liked fully exploring my levels in one go but I can definetly see the appeal for those who do enjoy it.

[@cbats1888]

@@BLOODY__FATALITY I agree. It's the main reason I couldn't enjoy Tooie as much as I enjoyed Kazooie

[@noname-jt6kl]

yeah but in this game you aren't discovering new areas, you are just revisiting old ones.

[@aaronharveymusic]

Backtracking can be fun in a puzzle sense because you have to think whether or not it can be solved at this moment in time. But it can be a bit annoying also. Overall I'd say there probably was a bit too much backtracking in Banjo-Tooie, but some of it was fun. I think Banjo Kazooie is more fun to replay, but Tooie is a better game.

I played banjo tooie all the time on the N64 and never heard that pooping worker in Grunty Industries. I heard it today on my first play-through on Rare Replay. I thought it was a new addition for the Xbox version, and that you had to bomb the door or something to get to Loggo

[@fooey2440]

i liked that the worlds connected and there was some jiggies you couldnt get unless you did something in another level that affects that level. or when you had to feed the cavemen the witchyworld burgers and fries. or draining the pool in cloud cuckooland that drops and feeds the thirsty dinosaur in the wall. and lots of other examples. such a god tier game for its time.

[@dannyc.9161]

This game hands down is one of my favorite game on the N64. Along with Pokemon stadium, it showed the power of what the console could do, despite it at the time nearing the end of its lifespan. It has a special place in my heart, you could always go back to it and enjoy it all over again. A modern classic.

[@SpongicX]

I wish they had an actual good excuse for why Bottles' Revenge was cut out, especially from the Xbox 360/Rare Replay re release of the game...

[@PokettoManStar]

+SpongicX Debugging Bottle Revenge would have required testing of every enemy character operating in ways they weren't originally intended to. This would have likely pushed back the game's release, and I doubt Nintendo was fond of that, and Rare realized they were shooting too high. It's no exaggeration to say there's a *lot* in Tooie. As to why 4J Studios didn't include it in the XBLA port, that's a mystery and a shame.

[@Falcovsleon21]

+Poketto Except that clearly isn't the case w/ the mode as the enemies seem to work pretty fine as it is when the mode is on. Otherwise RareWitchProject would've long since pointed out that the Bottles' Revenge mode caused problems when they discovered and revealed it all those years ago.

[@PokettoManStar]

Falcovsleon21 The mode seems to work fine because you're viewing typical gameplay. The problem enters when you have enemies with unusual attack animations and movement patterns, which opens the door for countless ways in which one could clip walls. Have you ever seen a speedrunner clip through an object or wall and skip entire areas? Or even entire the whole game? By using clever techniques you can bend a game over backwards. Here's an example, in DK64's Angry Aztec, you can enter the Llama's palace by using Diddy's jetpac. That's just one example of how introducing an unusual mechanic (flight) can open the door for all sorts of game breaking. Goron Link in Majora's Mask is another example--his jump serves as a great game breaking tool. Again, these are from game functions that were fully tested and released. Introducing several dozen characters could've very well created some serious issues.

[@trashman314]

+Poketto Wow, I never really thought about how if this was implemented how much the speed runs of Banjo-Tooie would change.

[@PokettoManStar]

Galactic Horse It might not do much, but it could do a lot. There's literally no way to know. ;)

[@SxVaNm345]

Banjo-Tooie is the one game I’ll never get bored of playing. Greatest game of all time, ever.

[@SAwfulEPM]

The Bottles's Revenge stuff takes me way back to the Rare Witch Project forums, where a ton of research into the BK games was done. When the Bottles's Revenge content was first discovered people thought it was a hoax at first, I think? I know that the Ice Key and Stop N Swop menu was first discovered by use of a cheating device for infinite jumps to get over the wall. Grabbing the Ice Key unlocked the mysterious Stop N Swop menu, which eventually lead to finding the other items. I don't remember how the Sand Castle codes were discovered, but I think someone actually went combing through the entire BK cartridge data. Everyone knew SOMETHING was in the game, as beating the game with 100% Jiggies led to Mumbo showing secret photos in the ending, including the raised Sharkfood Island. This was also right around the same time as Pokemon, and MissingNo. had been discovered, along with all the old rumors like Pikablu and other nonsense. It was a very discovery and exploration-centric time, which amplified the excitement of the Rare Witch Project's findings. I really miss that sense of adventure and exploration in games, with a sense of secrets being possible anywhere and mysteries potentially waiting to be unlocked.

[@MrRedGreenBlue1]

I really wish rare ware stood with nintendo. We could have gotten the banjo threeie they announced for gamecube. Banjo and Kazooie in smash, games like Kameo and grabbed by the goulies on a nintendo system. It would have been awesome just simply with banjo and other rare classics in smash.

[@BlazeHeartPanther]

+MrRedGreenBlue1 It seems impossible, but considering Microsoft let Mojang put Minecraft on the WiiU, it doesn't seem all that farfetched.

[@redey1290]

+BlazeHeartPanther Blaze Microsoft allows games to made by one of their companies for another system not by Microsoft. What I mean is that will allow games to be made for a console that they aren't competing with. Though maybe they made an exception this time, i dunno.

[@LittleBigKid707b]

Nintendo not having the money to fund Rare?! You know they've only made a gazilion dollars over the years. I think for reasons we'll never truly know, they decided to sell the stake they had in Rare to Microsoft.

[@Defender1876]

Banjo tooie: "Let's build on what we've already made." Nuts and bolts "Let's throw everything out the window and do something completely different" Seriously, you went from the best way to make a sequel to the the worst way to make a sequel. Banjo Kazooie and tooie are two of my favorite games of all time by the way.

[@H4mm3rSp4c3]

+deeprest1 To be fair NB came from experimentation which the industry needs more of; not a bad game if you remove the Banjo skin but a platformer would've been preferred.

[@megaburritozero]

+deeprest1 If I recall, they were pretty discouraged to making an actual sequel, as racers, shooters, and other hardcore like games, were all the rage, and felt that a platformer wouldn't cut it. Plus, being in with Microsoft, they didn't have much flexibility. Yooka-Laylee: We'll call our own,shots, and do things right!

[@MrRedGreenBlue1]

I think nuts and bolts suffers from what the new metroid spin off is currently dealing with. It's not that nuts and bolts is bad, it's just that it came at the wrong time. If it came out along side or a few months before a regular banjo game and if it was made as a spin off no one would hate it as much as they do given that it's actually a pretty good game in it's own right.

[@deeprest1]

Well i'd say you're right about that. Just look at Mario. Nobody cares how many spinoffs he comes out with since he gets main games on a fairly regular basis With Banjo we had waited for a decade for a proper game in the franchise just to get a game that doesn't feel anything like it even belongs in the same franchise. If we were getting Banjo games on a regular basis people would've probably given it a better chance.

[@BenRai2k]

+deeprest1 I always thought the concept of Nuts N Bolts would have been better to a Jet Force gemini game. You could build your own crafts for space and land travel and explore and kick giant ant butt.

[@BigTwonLT]

The framerate issues in Tooie on N64 always bothered me, but I always wanted to complete this amazing game. So thankful for the 360 version on Rare Replay. Its pretty safe to say that Tooie is the greatest 3D platformer of all time...and the most quintessential to the genre because it simply had everything, and all of it was fun. The Mario Galaxies come close, especially Galaxy 2, but the lack of a legit explorable hub world with puzzles that tie into the worlds themselves is what keeps Tooie above those games. Imagine if there was a 3D Mario platformer where your Hub world is the size of Tooies but took place across the entire Mushroom Kingdom? That would be SOOO AWESOME! I wanna explore the mushroom kingdom beyond peachs castle so bad. Tooies world was just amazing. I loved unlocking a new portion of the world to explore and putting my new moves to use. Hint...any game that constantly upgrades you with new moves that help you explore more of the world is always going to be hit.

+Rare Ltd I enjoyed Banjo-Tooie more than the original game. I'm still a big BK fan

[@Alkaris]

I didn't mind all the backtracking in Banjo-Tooie, it just meant being able to explore more of the worlds that I really enjoyed and finding new things you never saw before. However there were some things that I didn't like about this game. Mary the Canary… one of THE most disliked mini-games of all time where you have to race her on a cart and on a mechanical wind-up mouse toy, do you have ANY idea how difficult and annoying it was just to hammer away at the A button just to go faster, and one slip up of a button press meant that it stalls all momentum you ever had built-up. The bosses I enjoyed most in Banjo-Tooie was Mr. Patch, because he's just basically a big wobbly inflatable thing with patches on him. I liked the multiplayer stuff they added to the game, as well as the many other mini-game stuffs they added. That FPS mode mini-game was quite fun to play, because it felt like an old reminiscent of Goldeneye 007 N64 just shooting eggs at your opponents and collecting some powerup stuffs. My greatest disappointment with Banjo-Tooie when they teased Banjo-Threeie at the end of the game.... many years later.... we still never saw that game come to life.... and when Nuts and Bolts came about.... expectations was that it WAS going to be Banjo-Threeie turned out not to be that, but something else....
