How much of Banjo Kazooie can you beat without Kazooie? 

That skip into Rusty Bucket Bay sounds like something a kid would have made up on the playground back in the day lmao

"But what if we said fuck Kazooie?" The internet knows. The internet says it a lot.

The windows don't need eggs to break! Heck, I didn't even know eggs would work! What's intended is that you use the Rat-a-tat Rap or Beak Barge! Which... are both moves using Kazooie. So that doesn't change the results in the slightest.

I’d be totally down to see like, a minimum Kazooie run

Hearing "Jingo" instead of "Jinjo" bugs me a bit. I mean, they even say it.

I've never heard the Jinjos called Jingos. Kinda fun way to say it.

STOP CALLING THEM "JINGOS" IT'S JINJOS😭😭😭

I'm kinda curious now if the reverse challenge would be possible. Since it seems a lot more like Kazooie is doing the work, rather than Banjo. I guess that would mean...no moving, and no basic jumps, and no rolls? Kazooie flies, shoots eggs, you can move with the trot and swim with her, really it seems more like this should be called Kazooie-Banjo...

First step: cheating. Second step: using kazooie by mistake. Third: use kazooie three more times but give a different excuse each time.

I wonder if there could be some kind of mod that puts the separate Banjo or Kazooie from when they split up in Banjo-Tooie as the only playable character in this game (or the next one). But I distinctly remember in Tooie that the roll has Kazooie wrap her wings around Banjo, so that's no longer a solo-Banjo move.

Wait wait no, I gotta see what happens when Grunty deletes your save when you dont even have a save. It might just be nothing but damn Im curious now lol. Cause I think those demo files use hidden saves or something like that, like file 0 or someething. It would be interesting and probably just crash tthee game lol

That is how I played the game which is much harder. When I watch people online use Kazooie to walk around like 90% of the time I realized I played the game wrong.

9:29 CAPTAIN BLUBBER FOUND THE ONE PIECE?!

it's allways a pleasure to see Banjo-Kazooie anywhere

Interesting. I'd also be curious to see what else can be done. I have a feeling Banjo can get more.

"If done successfully, this will happen: AD"

The title of this game is now Banjo-

My favorite game, Banjo and *ALMOST* Kazooie

@6:20 The Ground Pound move is literally called Beak Buster. Its explicitly Kazooies move. Bottles: "I call this move the Beak Buster, Jump into the air, Then Press Z To Send *Kazooie* Slamming down hard into the floor." Kazzoie:"Gulp...I dont like the sound of that Banjo" Bottles: "Get used to It nest girl, *You'll* Be using it alot" I can rationalize the swimming, but everything from 6:20 onward is invalid.

That was a fun challenge, good job on the video!

I freaking love this channel coming up. The videos over the past few months have been awesome. Keep it up.

I love your Pikmin stuff but glad you're spreading into other games too!

My first thought when seeing this was "oh, he's gonna use that bee transformation anywhere glitch to have access to every place" it's been forever since I watched anything banjo kazooie related so I got no clue if that'd require kazooie though. Also I don't know why but I feel like banjo had more moves than that 🤔

Banjo Kazooie is my favorite game. Great to see content coming out in 2024

Sup, I been watching for a few months now. Your content is very good quality. It''s fun to watch, And i don't get bored watching it. Keep up the good work, I see the both of you making it big with this youtube channel. (Yes, For anyone wondering. There are 2 people who run this channel.)

Kazooie was definitely the equivalent to Mario Sunshine's F.L.U.D.D.

They are called JINJO like Banjo Gin-JOE

Man, it's only been a few years, but I already forgot how big these worlds are.

Itd be cool to see Banjo Tooie with only kazooie or something similar. This is a really cool challenge run!

yeah for some reason in banjokazooie ALL the abilities are kazooie focused. All banjo does is jump and punch, which nobody every uses since the punch is terrible lol

The jinjo jiggy from mumbo’s mountain also needs beak buster

I feel like with Banjo's extended capabilities in tooie you'd have an easier time with that

6:35 so banjo tooie's roll is 500% valid by that logic

When it comes to Mumbo's mountain and returning I remember a glitch back in the day where you can leave the transformation range of the bee transformation and go wherever Also for returning from Freezeezy peek I thought that the Walrus transformation let you go up steep slopes though I haven't played for a long time

"There's a glitch that makes you start in Rusty Bucket Bay." Oh yeah, that's fine. Just. Glitch your way in to LITERAL HELL to avoid having to use the bird friend.

"What if we said [BLEEP} Kazooie?" Artists: "Write that down! Write that down!" But seriously, this means that Kazooie is really the heavy lifter of the duo since it's her skills that are required for 89% of the game. I would have thought it would have been more of a 70/30 percentage split, but that neglects that the double jump and Talon Trot aren't just fun ways to move around faster, but is legitimately the only way to make it around some maps.

Kind of feel like you threw in the towel WAY too early for this video... it's a really interesting question and I'm sure there are a lot of jiggies you can get if you could access the other worlds. I expected this to be a "minimum Kazooie" challenge where you'd just manually count every time you use Kazooie, with prioritizing minimizing Kazooie usage (so you'd only go back to get a jiggy you missed if you NEEDED a Kazooie required jiggy to get to the next world). Routing would be a bit of a challenge, but would probably spark community interest more. Sadly this came out more as a "I tried this challenge, couldn't figure out the rules, messed up several times, and kind of gave up." despite opening with the quesiton "No Kazooie was out of the question, but how much do you need her" implying it's a minimum use run... Sorry, just being honest, good effort, but giving up like this isn't worth the like. Also, I kind of disagree the backflip jump is "Kazooie", Banjo is using his legs to leap in the air from a crouching position. I guess you could say that Kazooie is using her wings to help propel him higher than his regular jump, but you let the Dive and for a long while the Ground pound slide with an excuse that "Banjo's doing all the work" and admitted several times you thought as a kid Banjo was pooping the eggs out even towards the end of the video. So just a tip since you're fairly new at this... you may want to try to put in more effort and if you fail like this, just scrap the video. Better to give us a full hearted attempt that tried everything (even if you admit a skill cap), or just upload something else entirely, than upload something where you can't seem to agree on your own rules and give up cause of that. Best of luck in the future. You have potential. Just push yourself harder and you'll be among the greats like DPad gaming, Seer, Particular Mushroom, and other "minimalist challenge" runners in time! Some suggestions of great challenge runners who made darn sure they gave us something to watch for an hour. XD

Collect all 5 Djangos Unchained

In actuality, you got zero of the Jiggies without Kazooie. All because she pops out of the backpack to store the Jiggy. . . That dang bird. Also, they're called "Jinjos" not "Jingos"!

Wow does the start glitch work on rare replay version?

Liked and subsribed to you. Love these videos!

"Haha, if you cheat too much, I'll delete your save" "My save has been deleted for a long time"

Would love to see a variation of this for Banjo Tooie (with a mod disabling the barriers ofc so you can truly go on a solo adventure). Banjo is surprisingly mobile without Kazooie when you know how to use him. His double jump in particular just feels like cheating.

You should do this with all worlds, not worrying about the obstacles to getting to the worlds themselves so you can test every possible jiggy

It would be neat if there was a Tooie mod for Kazooie, then you could use the split pad, and try for a truly Kazooie-free run!

This is why I always insist on including Kazooie when referring to the duo in Smash.

Fun Fact: you could have used multiple cheat codes as, for some unclear reason, the xbox version doesn't actually delete your save data. From the wiki: "Grunty's ability to erase your game pak doesn't appear to have the desired effect in the Xbox 360 version, as seen in a video on the subject in which the affected save file is still intact on the Xbox 360 version. It does, however, work as intended in the N64 and NS versions. However, on the Xbox 360 version, saving will be disabled until the game is restarted should too many illegal cheats be entered."

I do love how accurate the thumbnail is. It’s not a lot, but it certainly is more than I expected, thought Banjo would be completely useless. 😂

Treasure trove cove sound track definitely still slaps

The lazy kazooie run

Maybe do a follow up where it is assumed that every world and every note door is open and accessible (so the slope in Grunty's Lair is ignored), so you could go world by world instead of the harsh limit. Just to open up more of the game and have a better challenge.

I would argue that the gameplay of BK is majority Kazooie. All Banjo can do is claw swipe (basically never used), roll, and walk/jump (both inferior to trotting and jumping using Kazooie) It's kind of wild how little Banjo is actually used. Even when swimming it's more useful to use Kazooie.

I still enjoy a challenge video, even if you can only get 11 jiggies! It's more interesting than knowing for sure you will beat the game. Also those small colored things are pronounced jin-joes

Now i want to make a horror game of kazooie stuffing someone into a smaller metal backpack. Also neat video.

Banjo walks around, carrying Kazooie. Kazooie does everything else 🤦

I wonder if this would go better in Banjo-Tootie

I left a comment earlier about using Kazooie to get underwater and seconds after carrying on watching your video, you mention excusing that exact mechanic ahaha Lesson learnt, don't leave a comment until you've watched the whole video XD Great video anyways. Never realised how much Banjo could do alone.

I guess it's just Banjo now.

jingoistic playthrough

This’ll be interesting.

Lots of exceptions to no kazooie thing. Reasonable ones, though. Love this game

When I was a kid i’m pretty sure I activated the RBB glitch by accident. How? No idea, it just happened

say it like GIN-JOE

Great job. 11 jiggys is more then I woulda thought.

That 3 more than I thought you'd get 👍good video

Could someone possibly make a romhack for banjo-kazooie where you play as just kazooie, a la tooie's split-up pads?

found this channel through my man Lemon, good shit

I once tried the X button challenge in Banjo Kazooie. I played nearly a decade ago, but I can rememeber that I only needed to press the X button 4 times to get to Clanker's Cavern, as far as I remember. I am not sure if that could be lowered. I tried not using the triggers as well, but I did not get very far with that one so I gave up even faster.

7:22 I'm sorry five what? Jin-jos my brother.

Stupid bear, no care he gave. Price to wear, he cannot save.

The game should be called Kazooie Banjo.

Haven’t tested it on xbox but if grunty deletes your save it gets rid of all your collectibles and abilities

Id be interested in how manny you can collect with banjo, while using kazooie where necessary. To unlock worlds and stuff but then dont use her. Like: i used her to go up the sand hills in gobis valley but didnt her for the flying carpet or somethinh like that.

Lemon send me here, you made me stay

"jingo" lol

Oh boy this is going to be a blast theoretically when you do banjo-Tooie you should I believe be able to hack banjo from the beginning to be by himself

at least half the game.

Okay but you can't use the cheats either because you need eggs to unlock the sandcastle anyway...

If you are always on kazooie running, you almost not need banjo

I really enjoyed this challenge! Well done!

I mean, isn't the ground pound literally called the "beak bomb?"

buddy, the name of the groundpound move is "beak buster," it's using the stupid bird

Finally, Banjo-

lol didn't know banjo-kazooie had back in time

It may be fun to abuse a rom hack to try a kazooie only run

so wait; if you press start to cycle through the attract mode levels, would it be possible to select CCW, steer banjo into the chinker, and kill him that way? does attract mode even have health?

New video where you test if the codes actually erase a save or if it causes a new bug :D

Thank you for being my adhd hyper fixation of the month

Play my banjo!

“Or 11%” 😂

Now for the inverse challenge - how much can you beat with just Kazooie? And by that, we'll say any time you walk or jump, it has to involve Kazooie somehow. So always Talon Trotting or fluttering or backflipping, no regular walking or slow swimming or climbing as these involve just Banjo without Kazooie. Should make narrow walkways and sneaking a lot harder. I'm guessing you can use the same intro glitch. If not, we'll count anything after skipping Bottles tutorial.

Hopefully this doesn't come off as mean, but how did you think Jinjo was pronunced Jinggo? They say Jinjo everytime they are collected.

Now try doing it with only Kazooie

This dude rapid firing content

On the Xbox version of this game, tooie, and nuts and bolts can you do a Professor Oak Challenge please

Is this what people are talking about when they say someone is a Jingoist?

Kinda curious how a Kazooie only run would go. You'd have to talon trot pretty much everywhere, but I feel like you'd be able to do more

There's a reason they don't just call it Banjo...

Nice.

I’d be curious in a Kazooie run. Start at the Talon Trot without collecting anything (if you can get into MM without the first Jiggy). All movement from there is Kazooie: jumps, ratatat, eggs. Don’t move or jump as Banjo. 🧐
