Banjo Tooie Opening Cutscene (N64 Widescreen)

Couldn't find this online without the aspect ratio totally messed up, so recorded it myself.

[@jadeaaron2003]

"He wasn't the favorite character in Banjo Kazooie anyway" I love that line

[@awesomejacketdude]

Me too.

[@Galactusperson]

Kazooie is a bitch.

[@dougxvale]

@@Galactusperson Grunty too

[@coytus94]

It's funny cuz even the devs knew it xD

[@Galactusperson]

@Logia SD yeah I remember that. I don't know why everyone was so mean to Kazooie. She's cute.

[@Dimensioneer88]

Now that's how start you sequel.

[@dougxvale]

Sigh... I've a feeling that it's not going to be so easy this time

[@captainmw8885]

@GoldenMinecart1203 Barrett where have you been the last 22 years?

[@yamigekusu]

I saw this opening cutscene for the first time a few hours ago. It was FUCKED UP. I mean, Banjo's house gets dinged pretty bad, and Bottles dies... Just... man, for a kids game, that cutscene just made me cry a bit...

[@AzraelXG]

Man, you go lster to Bottle's house and meet his family, they are completely unaware of his death and it gets pretty dark there, too

[@BirdWitch]

@@AzraelXG but Gruntilda is cute!

[@TRodge2495]

Totally fucked me up as a kid!! Skeleton Grunty traumatized me, especially since I didn't even beat the first game but somehow ended up with the second! I still have a bias against Tooie, love the original though!

[@jeffreybonney2831]

this game definitely took a dark turn

[@twitchywitchx]

An E rating doesnt mean for kids. That part is obviously aimed at teens and adults.

[@mrdaviddesertfire6801]

Let’s all take a moment to acknowledge the fact that Gruntilda is immortal.

[@TheMightyHugoman]

As she should be. Definitely one of the best video game antagonists.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

I love the fact that Banjo Tooie had a darker atmosphere than the first game !

[@alexiscarranza6601]

YEAH, AND ITS QUITE HARDER IN GENERAL, TAHN THE FIRST GAME!

[@KombatGod]

Funny that Bottle's spirit at 10:30 still has idle animations like nothing happened.

[@averagejustin]

It’s always creeped me out that Grunty technically died after being trapped under the rock and decayed to a skeleton. This whole sequel took a much darker turn than the original.

[@KubatheChangeling]

3:44 Oh my god, Mingella sounds like Cartman from South Park.

[@Maguarkwo671]

Never noticed that until now

[@chocolixo]

Mom, meerm,mom,myahm

[@nikhilmurthy7096]

11:11 Interestingly, there is a subtle reference to Super Mario 64 as the image of Gruntilda closing the scene accompanied withd her laughter is used instead of Bowser's. The same can be applied to this game's predecessor: Banjo-Kazooie.

[@TBrizzle01]

I guess you're right. I never considered that.

[@fuzy2449]

same goes to conker twelve tales which was kind of made before banjo kazooie, donkey kong 64 and glover

[@Victini415]

10:33 - Not even _10 seconds_ after he's confirmed dead and Kazooie's already throwing shade at him. That is cold.

[@sarahgirl1998]

Six year old me had no idea how dark the opening to this game was holy crap

[@anthonydiaz1042]

Sad bottles died

[@iquitalongtimeago8715]

Anthony Diaz yeah

[@SegaNintendoGuy64]

OMG SHE KILLED BOTTLES! YOU BONEY BASTARD!

[@JordanViknar]

I think he comes back since he's alive in the ending.

[@sanpol8124]

He wasn't the favorite character in Banjo-Kazooie anyway...

[@SegaNintendoGuy64]

San Pol KAZOOIE!

[@marycollins1945]

R.I.P bottles. He died 2 years after he was created. rest in peace, goggle mole.

[@captaineli2461]

“And came back from the dead about a week later”

[@TimelordLink90]

Back when Rare was at its peak. Btw, has anyone noticed that in the 360 version, the scene and the music are out of sync?

[@ytdavasquez]

TimelordLink EVERYONE noticed

[@Worm-revolver]

That's because the games music was paced and timed to the N64 cutscene. The N64 was notorious for lag, so the music had to be made around it. When played on the 360, the console's processor is processing the data much faster than the N64 was capable of, getting rid of that lag. This causes the video to continue without any slowdowns, while the music stays at the same speed with the same timing. The only way to fix this would be to re-record the music, or program in simulated lag. Both are hard and cost time and money. Things Rareware and Microsoft didn't see fit to spend on the franchise.

[@eboccardi3350]

Yes. Extraordinarily annoying. Typical Rareware after the Microsoft purchase. Absolutely Lazy. Look at the Conker's Bad Fur Day on the Xbox, where, despite the greater processing power, the animations are grossly watered down and static.

[@mrdaviddesertfire6801]

I noticed but I am playing it on the Xbox one

[@BillyBob_McSanchez]

Since I don't have an N64 or an Xbox console, I'll just stick to Project64 emulator

[@regalternative]

Been playing this game for 20 years and it took me until today to notice Kazooie steal the money at 1:33

[@ELEJOTA]

''Grunty's killed poor Bottles!'' How everyone is so calm when someone freaking dies right in front of them

[@chuckthequail137]

Banjo Was like Crying.

[@ELEJOTA]

@@chuckthequail137 Nope, he was just sweating

[@chuckthequail137]

Maybe on Fear by Seening Bottles Dying.

[@ELEJOTA]

@@chuckthequail137 Yeah makes sense, but i think is because he needed to run

[@muskatDR]

Rare: Lets put murder in the intro of our game...Rated e for everyone

[@travis6339]

There was a lot of dark stuff in N64 games that wouldn't fly for a rated E game anymore. Ocarina of time with the red blood, Under the Well, Shadow Temple, and then the entirety of Majora's Mask for example

[@DoodlingHitman]

@@travis6339 which sucks... i loved that stuff. now it's all so cheerful, wholesome and whatever...

[@vtubersubs3803]

Bottles dying made me cry as a kid. I almost didn't want to play the game

[@emelyannikova]

same, one of my traumas as a child.. I really liked that character cause it was my dad's favorite.

[@BoonetheAgentsofHAILCreator]

3:34 Behold, The Underminer!

[@lutraenhydris3231]

1:21 Ugh, That's a bad hand.

[@xpl0si0nman20]

Banjo Tooie: Bottles fucking dies.

[@angelomontemar3659]

10:16 - Bottles: “Guess it wasn’t a trick, after all.”

[@ultravegito8351]

This was my first video game ever, I never really grasped the fact that there was a first banjo game and also a main character straight up dies.

[@majora36]

Haha me too, when i got the first banjo game thats when I realized she was a skeleton in this game

[@elpalodecaobamistico]

They're back!!

[@Kooleman]

Funny how gruntilda's sisters fail when trying to rhyme, that was a nice touch

[@jeffreybonney2831]

they actually have that same way of speaking as yoda does

[@palaceswitcher]

Rated E for Everyone!

[@pikminfan6778]

8:27 Oh my goodness! She killed Bottles! You lunatic!

[@PizzaGoat323]

OH GOD

[@deuceydee3506]

I mentally read the text in the beginning in Tony Jay's voice everytime. May he rest in peace...

[@misterboogcn1288]

That grunty's laugh in the end always get me nervous

[@miguelmontero6130]

Holy crap. I didn’t understand what the hell happened to bottles and Banjo’s House when I skipped the cutscene while playing it on Xbox One. I should’ve watched the whole cutscene 😨 I also feel bad for bottles, he didn’t really deserve to die 😭😭😭

[@John-xf9mc]

Dunno why but I love that banjo kazooie series so much

[@skywalkerb6746]

10:06 when you come out of the nether portal.

[@pastapastajfollower2919]

This man made a Minecraft reference in a banjo Kazooie video

[@firegymleader8457]

That is so true lol

[@Abbimation.]

The lighting and shades were impressive at the time. But this was the time N64 life cycle coming to the end. And then we get Conker’s Bad Fur Day (Formerly Conker’s Quest And Twelve Tales) And it was popular but despite the ending N64 gratefully. Then Microsoft brought Rare in 2002 and making games that are mediocre like Grabbed By The Ghoulies. And.......... We got Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. How wonderful to see Rare again someday like it’s former glory days like Klasky Csupo should come back.

[@ajthem554]

The franchise was already dead and nuts and bolts was a good title with great references

[@deuceydee3506]

Grabbed By The Ghoulies was awesome

[@iskeepmynameprivate]

Woah 11:15 for a openings cutscene?! That’s banjo for ya

[@twillacatron7596]

Goggles:”I’m not falling for that I’m staying right here” *gets killed in explosion* Music:”🎤Dumb Ways To Die,so many dumb ways to die🎤”

Bottles would have gotten out if Kazooie didn't play that joke earlier.

[@bungaunga1709]

I’ll never forgive Mingella for stopping Gruntildas rhymes.

[@Nathando64]

Honestly it's a bit rich, coming from an anastrophe-talking witch! At least in the car building one, Mingella is finally gone! And our favourite witch can rhyme again, Which to me is a massive gain!

[@spencerbowden2979]

It’s the fact that grunilda is so power she literally created all the worlds that were in her lair. And she may have just destroyed all the entrances to those worlds forever as of the destruction of her lair.

+Metaluck768 Totally E rated!

[@MegamanNG]

The N64 one was better because at least the framerate was consistent compared to the Xbox Live version.

[@palaceswitcher]

nah its the other way around. The N64 has immense frame drops due to its limited graphical power.

[@jeffreybonney2831]

i remember playing this the first time and my expectations were very different, i thought grunty would be the same as last time, i was dead wrong as she is very dark in this one

[@theivoryguy2476]

Oh so Bottles is just dead now Okay

[@susiehaltmann3342]

Just in 10 minutes sh** goes down

[@dinosaur4602]

I must say, this is longer than the opening cinematic of Banjo-Kazooie.

[@beng1603]

Just where did Tootie disappear to (is what I've been wondering all these years)?!

[@Fa11enAngell]

beng1603 she went away to college ^_^

There's a "Have you seen me?" picture on a milk carton in the game.

[@Spacegoose_official]

5:50 Now Gruntilda has waited for the future.

[@randomjohn6831]

I remember playing this at a hotel in Canada as a kid

[@BubbledDEV]

Best way to start a sequel up, but did the cutscene really need to be 11 minutes?!

[@DDFernan1]

The long intros in N64 games plus my emulator's lag at recording are some of the reasons I only record 2D games (Actually, there are the only reasons…)

[@TRodge2495]

They made it skippable though!

[@Hovergoat_Guy]

@@TRodge2495 That is all well and good, but first time around, skipping the cutscene equals not knowing the conflict of the story.

Lol not gonna lie even though i have not been much intrested in b and k this intros kinds funny lol XD

[@Ravel327]

How did you get this in widescreen. Did you use Mupen64Plus?

[@bytwentyeight]

I think it's a built in wide-screen. some rare games had that

[@Nathando64]

They're playing on a Nintendo 64, based on the frame rate and grainy quality. As for wide-screen, there's a setting in the game that enables it

[@SolarFarle]

The opening cutscene of this game has the length of an average Cartoon Network/Nicktoon show.

[@adriangutierrezmartinez8374]

No fear to sucess, Rare murdered the poor Bottles to put drama in the history, this is a kids game LOL

[@dillonkinder9296]

Even Banjo and Kazooie went through worst just like Conker

[@MrMeatyFan-pc7io]

This game is in THX along with Donkey Kong 64

[@bandscg9401]

I have a question why do they call it tooie if it’s still kazooie or is it later that they change and what happened to kazooie if so. I didn’t play this one so I don’t know

[@exciteablevideos]

Too-ie Two-ie Two... It’s the second game in the series. (Admittedly, it took me years to get that too)

[@sonicmastersword8080]

So let me get this straight, if anyone does the game isn't appropriate for kids? That wouldn't work out well...

[@laurencelong]

Disgraceful how the Xbox version had the music out of sync - you just can't do that!!! It's like watching a movie and having comedy music over the tragic scenes. Really disrespectful way to treat the composer and the game. Thank goodness it only affected the opening cutscene (as far as I know). But I cannot watch the Xbox version, I have to watch the n64 original cutscene because it is so bad - and they never fixed it!!!!!
