Banjo Tooie - Hailfire Peaks: Icy Side (cover) 

Thanks! I like Tooie more than Kazooie so I feel you on that!

@@NicoMendozaMusic Same here. :) Always been a Tooie girl myself.

@@292Artemis agreed, I also like it better :)

People didn't like Banjo Tooie? I almost like it more than Banjo and Kazooie. The humor was a lot more clever, and it was just a bigger, more challenging game. Like it grew up with its players a little.

Banjo Tooie definitely did just pick up where Kazooie left off. It was basically just a continuation of the game - which was the plan even while they were making the first game. Rare wanted to take that concept even further, but Nintendo wouldn't let them use (or abuse, really) the technology the way Rare wanted. That was both Tooie's strength and weakness. The game had a really solid start, but the later levels go SO convoluted. I think that's why they made the final Jiggy requirement a pathetic 70/90 as opposed to Banjo Kazooie's 95/100. It made Tooie a weird hodge podge of difficult and easy. I guess that's probably the best way to handle a collectathon. Make the requirements low so that the casuals can beat the game, but for the completionists, there's still a pretty significant challenge. There's also something negative to be said for the sad parts of the game that reek of what the game was supposed to be before time-crunches and technological limitations made them dramatically shift course. Over all, it's hard to choose. Tooie is a bit of a rollercoaster of quality in places, but it's still got some really great highs. Kazooie is a much more flat, solid experience all the way through. I think I would ultimately pick Tooie just because of the boss fights, though. Kazooie really lacked in combat except for the absurd difficulty spike in the final boss.

Thanks!

We're here for the exact same reason. Gotta love Grant for sharing fan renditions of his iconic work. This is some incredible work and makes me want to play Banjo-Tooie all over again. Keep up the great work

@@Miketendo64 Grant is so awesome

He just retweeted the fire side, and I had to check if there was an icy side version 😅

Thanks! It is so good!

Thanks so much! A small ensemble instrumentation like this can be unforgiving in a mix if something isn't quite right, so I'm glad it came out this way :)
