@@jiggylookbackI have found out 2 things in banjo-kazooie that I didn’t know until about 5 yrs ago. 1. If you time it right when the sir slushies from freezezzy peak throw a snowball at you use the claw swipe if timed right it will turn into a honeycomb piece. 2. Is definitely easy to miss you can’t really see it but behind the click clock wood entrance there is a jumping disk pad will help you get on top of the click clock wood entrance to reach the extra life. Pretty sneaky and good for rare to do that. But i think it just makes the game more unique that way.

@@joshuagodfrey644 I never knew that about the sir slush!! That is awesome! Thanks for sharing

Also, I love how the camera zooms through the levels as it did in this video which reminds me of the cool end credits of the first Spyro games with the camera zooming through to show the levels.

Thanks for noticing! I tried to make the transitions between like you’re naturally progressing through the world as you would in game. The only out of order thing I really did was going to Gobi’s valley before Freezeezy peak but I since I cross the entrance to that first it felt right.

[@redtwo006]

The carvings in Gruntilda's Lair really are neat, the fact they change based on different areas adds to the character of the place. I think those huge red eyes/fanged mouth features are actually intended as guideposts; they tend to show up close to a world entrance, so it's a really clever way to help players find their way around.

[@jiggylookback]

Yeah I really didn’t think of it that way. Which means it’s really good design! Good call about those eyes!

In the bit where you're showing the crowd watching Grunty's Furnace Fun, the unidentified "snake" is one of the yellow grumblies from Mr. Vile's minigame, I think. No idea where the dogs are from though. Keep up the neat content (maybe a video like this but with Donkey Kong 64?)!

Not strictly related to the video, but you should definitely play Banjo Kazooie: The Jiggies of Time, a mod by Mark Kurko. He recreated all of Ocarina of Time as a BK adventure. I mention this because the Forest Temple has a lot of weird tricks with how you get things done, and hints being in a Hylian letter substitution cipher you have to find pieces of while exploring. It's a Banjo level I had to take notes and screenshots for! It's also got all sorts of easter eggs hidden all over the place, from n64 cartridges, funny signs, and even a Mario Kart track you have to race with the running shoes.

I don't know if you mentioned it before elsewhere, but the music in Ticker's Tower was the original Mumbo's Mountain theme. Grant Kirkhope based it on the song called Baby Elephant Walk. After showing the other devs his work, they told him it wasn't great and to try making another song. It's not entirely confimed, but speculation is that after changing the music for the rest of Mumbo's Mountain, Grant just forgot about Ticker's Tower and it accidentally did not get changed to a variant more in line with the new theme.

[@jiggylookback]

An interesting fact I heard at some point but never mentioned! Thanks for sharing that. Though I don’t think I heard the team being quite that brutal but it’s kinda funny 😂

[@NezuChan]

I watch way too many interviews with Grant, but I think he's just a fun guy and a great musician. I love hearing him talk about his work. He himself also said he wasn't totally satisfied with his initial version of Mumbo's Mountain. Unfortunately, only the Ticker's Tower version remains as the other versions got wiped from existence. I am a big fan of the theme we ended up getting. It lives in my head rent free.

[@Breegullbeak]

The picture of Banjo in the forest is actually from an early prototype where the game was 2.5D. It was shown in the Rare Replay bonus content.

Yes Project Dream translated into Banjo and became a 2.5d prototype. It may have changed its name to Banjo Kazoo but it was still dream for a while.

The transitions in this vid are awesome. I find the hub areas outside the worlds interesting. It's like the worlds are leaking through to shape the lair. The paintings also leak like this, think example CCW. Are the worlds created from the paintings (which is why they need to be completed first) or is it the other way around?

It can be quite a difficult task to do great background textures in that era. It's simultaneously the most seen and unseen part of the game. Just making something that doesn't look random or lazy or create the wrong vibe by being too busy or having problematic colors or patterns is hard enough. Getting eye-catching details into the mix for people to admire when they finally stop moving to look around their third time though the game takes a special kind of care. :D

I agree. It’s pretty wild all of the detail they put into the game. I love it

[@thecat-alyst2716]

Here's an interesting idea or question: Take all the areas of Banjo Kazooie, but have Donkey Kong 64 set in these worlds. Which enemies would appear in which areas? How would gameplay differ from BK and how would it be similar? Where would the Kosha's first appear? What type of bosses would there be? Just imagine if someone made a complete rom mod of Donkey Kong 64 that is set entirely in Banjo's world, complete with the same BK music and some other elements but with DK64 characters, enemies, and some gameplay? Idea comes from voice actress Charity James, who is a friend of mine and a long time gamer for 4+ decades.

[@Ronald_Ruck]

Nice idea for a video and series! As much as I love BK, I've got a lot of questions about the world. Where are the levels actually located? Are they part of Gruntys lair? Or do the entrances function as portals so places outside the liar and most likely Spiral Mountain? Banjo enters the levels via doors but spawns on a entry pad which would support this theory. Are those places part of the isle we see on BT? I know it's probably never meant to be so deep, but I still wonder. 😄 It would influence the lives of the other characters in the levels in my opinion.

[@jiggylookback]

I think at some point I’ll do an entire video on just that because I’ve had the same question.

On multiple occasions you are talking about something that either isn't in frame yet from the camera pan, or doesn't come into frame at all, and there are several areas you don't even investigate in multiple worlds. If you're gonna do neat camera track showcases of the environments as the entire purpose of the video, then showcase all the level design work top to bottom. The holes in the ceiling of Mad Monster Mansion's ouiji board shack were a neat thing I never knew existed to keep consistent with the holes on the shack roof outside, and you didn't even comment on those. You also didn't even timestamp the chapters right, freezeezy peak and mad monster mansion are clumped in as just the freezeezy peak chapter. Slow your creative process *WAY* down, don't cut so many corners. All that does is deliver a half-baked iteration of a really great video idea. I loved this game as a kid. If you wanna do deep dives into the level design and presentation of the worlds, then go big or go home with it. Don't rush through stuff or skip over stuff or have your voiceover so frequently out of sync with the visuals it's talking about just because it's far quicker to edit together that way.

[@jiggylookback]

Umm ok I’ll slow down a bit for the next iteration. For the record I did NOT add the chapters. I think KZbin did that automatically. I didn’t even know they were on this. I appreciate you watching, but do know that lots of love and work go into these. As someone who works full time and has a family it’s hard for me to sit here and focus on a video for weeks on end. I’m trying.

[@mr1spamification]

@@jiggylookback That's understandable, but if you're finding it difficult to have the time to do a good video idea properly, I recommend altering what kind of content you produce. Perhaps do a chill gaming channel or gaming streams, maybe just talk about something going on in the games industry you are interested in with some simple B-roll gameplay footage in the background you captured goofing around that needs literally zero edits or cuts. There's videos that are quick cheap and simple to produce and there's a real audience for that (depending on their topic or category) and then there's really neat stuff like what you did here that definitely deserves way more love and care. You could perhaps try both. Do simple quick videos to maintain a consistent flow of content that grows an audience, then take your sweet time on making more long-form content that stands the test of time and doesn't leave anything to be desired in its presentation.

[@jiggylookback]

@@mr1spamification well my plan is to do bigger videos like this one on occasion and do my quicker turn around videos like mysteries. I will say though I really don’t feel the quality is lacking in this video. I was rewatching it and I still think it was good. You’re entitled to your opinion of course, but I feel maybe you’re being a bit harsh. It may not be perfect and nobody’s perfect for sure, but I covered so much and I’m bound to miss things. A big factor in this one you’re not considering and probably no one is…this is the first one I’ve made like it. I had to conceptualize and figure out how to present it. And how do I improve if I don’t put stuff out? Like I said I’ll slow down a bit on these, but at the same time people seem to really like it which is validating. I want my channel to be what I want at the end of the day and I still feel I’m doing that and getting better every video. I don’t want to make simple videos without editing because those are a dime a dozen. Respectfully. I’m saying this not to sound harsh or pick back but because as someone who has worked up from 0 subs to over 8000 in two years I’m pushing to make this channel something and when I can do it full time I’ll really start pouring stuff out. I have to do what I feel I would want to watch. I value critical feedback but also can’t discount how hard I’ve worked and what I want to do with the channel. Thats what makes me me.

nice camerawork

[@kotmann5772]

I think these "dogs" in the audience are the bats from mad monster mansion :O

[@jiggylookback]

@@kotmann5772 yes! Haha I had to pin a comment cause so many people started saying that. But yes they are! :)

[@Breegullbeak]

Interesting fact: th picture of Berri from Twelve Tales isn't in the Xbox port. I believe it's replaced with a picture of Conker.

[@jiggylookback]

Yeah I’m aware. I wonder why that is. I have a Berri theory video you should check out and I talk about that change!

[@organicketchup5171]

Please make more of these. Maybe CBFD next?

[@jiggylookback]

It’s on the list!!

[@TheManaMarioBros]

you should do rocket robot on wheels

[@jiggylookback]

I’d have to look into alternative camera tools to view that one, but I’ll try and keep it in mind for the future. That game doesn’t get enough love I think.

[@relu419]

Mumbo isn't evil in Mad Monster Mansion painting. It's just low quality of image.

[@jiggylookback]

@@relu419 it really makes mumbos teeth look pointed and everything

[@Breegullbeak]

I'm assuming the barrels all showing the same date is a glitch with your camera tool. I'm pretty sure they're all supposed to be different dates. The one with the Jiggy should be 1984, the year Ultimate was founded.

[@jiggylookback]

I think you’re right. I seem to remember 1984 but still. It’s a reference.

[@Kaitri]

The first time i played this game, i got a used copy that was around world 3. I was 5 back then and couldnt read yet so i didnt know how to talon trot. I saw the savefiles had red feathers and i saw them only in 1 other place. Mumbos skull and... well his skull-house. Since then i wonder why he has feathers kazooie uses to fly

[@featurelength5086]

Maybe his house flies around and that's why he's in multiple worlds?

[@Kaitri]

@@featurelength5086 since humba in tooie also has a feather like that and she appears in multiple worlds... its not even that crazy of an idea LOL

[@Txur_Itan]

You should do Mario 64 next!

[@1Natural20]

Tooie next!

[@cuedepie4376]

Of course the word “Jiggy” is in your name.

[@jiggylookback]

That it is.

[@ramonmff5158]

Excited!

[@SECONDQUEST]

Did you get new camera tools? 😮 Edit oh lol you mentioned it

[@Robeanio]

6:54 what if this thing is connected to grunty industries because we know that grunty industries does spew radioactive, mutating waste in places like jolly Roger’s lagoon, just a theory though

[@jiggylookback]

It very well could be! Potentially Industries to Clankers and even Rusty Bucket.

[@Robeanio]

@@jiggylookback doesn’t rusty bucket bay also have that pool of radioactive stuff in one corner? And rbb also has the large shutter door behind the spawning pad which I remember someone saying it led to the other shutter door in the isle o hags quagmire

[@jiggylookback]

@@Robeanio yes it does!!!
