Banjo X’s cancellation bummed me out because it sounded like a really cool idea. It’s kind of like how the Final Fantasy 7 Remake is playing out.

Kazooie was technically namedropped in the diddy kong racing manual, so there's that.

It is theorized that the ice key from Freezeeezy Peak was supposed to be used on the Banjo-Kazooie fridge in Donkey Kong 64. There is a hidden cutscene that zooms in on the fridge found via a glitch that sends DK to the ice level of that game.

Kazooie being constantly pregnant makes that SLAM move from Tooie and Smash horrific 😀

Mumbo Jumbo being a Jinjo makes a lot of sense in hindsight. After all, there’s the Mingy Jongo boss who’s a Minjo equivalent of Mumbo.

28:17 My lord. You can see what direction the cancelled show was going by the Sonic Boom bandages.

To this day I STILL want Project Dream to become a full game. Also I think it was mentioned that Tooty was just visiting Banjo for the summer and still lives with their parents.

you missed one piece of it. The OG Banjo-Kazooie in particular had a few moments of foreshadowing in regards to Banjo-Tooie. in one interaction between Banjo and Kazooie with Bottles one of Kazooie's snarky comments is calling Bottles Jam Jars which foreshadows that somebody other than Bottles will give out new skills to learn and master in Banjo-Tooie. in another part of the game when Gobi the Camel leaves the game he mentions a Lava world that ends up foreshadowing Hail Fire Peaks in Banjo-Tooie since half the level is a lava world. after collecting all the Jiggies during the post credits scene Mumbo Jumbo reveals the stop n swop items while mentioning that they'll reveal their use in Banjo-Tooie which in regards to the Ice Key was Humba Wumba requesting a mega version of the transformation item in the game so you can turn Kazooie into a dragon.

The door shown at 4:36 is not a mysterious door. It simply leads to the area with the brown cauldron we can find right after beating Grunty's Furnace Fun. The real mysterious doorS (with an S because there are two) are located in the room at the top of the lair where we can see the machines supposed to transfer Tooty's beauty to Gruntilda, seen in the scene starting when you enter Gruntilda's lair for the first time. :p

Is the “Clanker’s a living creature” one that obscure? You can talk to him and you don’t have to look that hard at him to see the fleshy bits.

Banjo X sounds so cool and surreal. I don't think there's many games that have done something like that. In fact only one comes to mind.

It's worth noting that rhyming poetry isn't a thing in Japanese due to the limited number of sounds. Hence Gruntilda was given a different speaking style to compensate for lingual differences.

Banjo-Kazooie got rereleased on XBL and they’re still rated E despite all the adult content

14:53 You can kill Snacker with eggs. Use the pooping method and mind the slopes as eggs ignore water physics.

It’s interesting how Tiptup was able to stay in the diddy kong racing remake despite being a Banjo Kazooie character.

I thought it was confirmed that Mumbo was not a Jinjo. I personally thought that he was a pink grublin like the enemies found in Mumbo's Mountain, which to me makes better sense given the BETA. Given as to how Nuts and Bolts takes place 10 years after the original Banjo-Kazooie, I would think that Boggy's kids would be teenagers by then, so it isn't too surprising that they are mostly absent. Although I was not aware of Soggy and Moggy being found in Banjoland. Its been a while since I've played Nuts and Bolts.

I believe conker live and reloaded would've sold well if it was essentially just a modernized (gameplay wise) version of bad fur day. With the better graphics and controls. What messed them up on sales I belive is that they censored a lot of stuff that wasn't censored on bad fur day when the game is an M rated game to begin with

In regards to Mumbo having the capability of reviving that alien kid, I think that he couldn't revive Bottles, because he didn't have a glowbo to give him the magic he would've needed to use that spell.

Just a detail you missed in order to talk about climbing mumbo's Mountain without the transformation you have to also make note that this was fixed in every copy of the game beyond the 1.0 cartridge

11:40 "Rated E in the 90s" At the beginning of Gobi's Valley, Kazooie says something along the lines of "How's your nuts?" to the tree there. Also, in the board/trivia game at the end, for the question, "What was Gruntilda's party trick?", one of the wrong answers is a "striptease". In the level Mad Monster Mansion, in the room with the giant pipe organ, the sheet music on the organ is the music that plays in that room. 28:17 This is some really good concept art, but as someone who enjoys Clanker's Cavern, 29:48 is horrifying (not that I wouldn't play the $h!+ out of that game).

This was an amazingly well produced compilation of information on all things Banjo Kazooie. Thank you!

There was a time in the early thousands that people thought Bottles' Revenge was genuinely a hoax. Was nuts the day the video got posted haha. good times

around 17:00 the audio, its called a Vocode. The difference between a talkbox and a vocode, is a Talkbox uses a human mouth and a straw to control the upper harmonics (which shape the note into vowels) while a Vocode is a hand inputted sequence of events on a computer. A talkbox is typically a Realtime instrument, which musicians enjoy using, while a Vocode is something that must be prepared ahead of time, and typically not "performed" by live humans, rather just press "play" and the computer goes through the targets you had set for it

The data in the Nintendo 64's memory are comprised of playloads. I have been looking through the games data and have so far found 3 playloads that are associated with stop n swop. Copying and pasting one of the playloads into a random ram address makes all of the sns areas accessible without the need of a cheat code. The second sends the data to another game. The thirds purpose is still unclear. It is evident that the mechanism that utilizes stop n swop is functional in the games memory.

I think that "Banjo Kazooie comeback" is just gonna be Banjo Tooie for the Nintendo Switch N64 Online xd

the chainsaw landing on banjo was much funnier than it should've been

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Bikini lady from the ending of BK during the more mature stuff section.

Not even a smash mention

If I could only play ten games for the rest of my life, Banjo-Kazooie would be one of them.

12:51 im obsessed with you adding this note for literally no reason at all, you couldve just moved on and not said anything, but you didnt and its fucking hilarious

9:05 ...that's angel bottles

bro that bonus with eminem killed me wtf did not expect that XD

33:45 Sounds fun. I wonder if anyone has made a fan game like that. Anyway, neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

You can't make a banjo kazooie video and not follow it up with conkers bad fur day. It is the law

Banjo X's cancelation is something I never knew about and now I'm sad I know about it because it never happened. It sounds like such a fantastic idea

13:00 bad example of the world being “overly PC” now when Ocarina of Time, a game that came out BEFORE Tooie, had revisions made to change Ganondorf’s blood from red to green, presumably because it was too violent. I’d also argue and say that backlash against violence and mature themes in video games was way more intense in the 90’s, with parents and even news outlets constantly talking about violence in video games. Censorship was incredibly common. Amazing video regardless! Always love to learn new things about these games.

17:15 This sounds like it is a vocoder. You can hear the differences between vocoder and talkbox here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3j9P4qd9ef4.html

Damn, it’s incredible how I’m still learning stuff about this game. Awesome content as always 🔥

Thanks for making this!

B: Hey, an iceberg video about our series! K: Weren’t Freezeezy and Hailfire Peaks already enough?

Idea: Another Banjo-Kazooie game, but starring a now grown-up Tooty with her own smaller-animal partner. Probably something from a shoulder-bag or fanny-pack. Now it's up to Tooty to save Banjo & Kazooie.

I would love to play a true Banjo X game on the Gamecube

"overly coddled world" 🤦

Your iceberg should be tiered. It creates a build up in the video pace. Otherwise it's just a 'did you know' video..

Another great exploration! I only ever got to play Banjo-Tooie however.

I'm 10 minutes in and you have so many wrong shots to match the wording... 4:40 you are looping showing the wrong door. The door in question is in the machine room that Klungo walks out of 9:08 you are talking about the secret devil bottles head, but you show the angel one 14:00 Having been deep in the BK community for decades, I have never heard this. Epically considering the problem with this input method in Mario Party 1, I doubt Rare would re-do this mistake two years later... But I may be wrong 17:20 Is real and it clearly isn't psychological... 18:14 the 'shouldn't be here' is because going into the jinjo room, it needs to know what house you entered to apply the coloring. So if you manage to go in, you shouldn't be there. 21:30 DK was never in Banjo except for the picture in his house. Kazooie calling Bottles 'barrel boy' is making a joke about his glasses - that they are thick like barrels 24:35 Now I think you are just making things up

I'm boggys house in freezeezy peak you can spot a photo of banjo on the left by the door, this proves that boggy knew banjo already and is pretending to have never seen him before

"Where an icon of Devil Bottles can be found" *shows Angel Bottles*

34:58 lol it’s rumoured that a new Banjo game is coming out. *100 years later* Any day now!

Thanks! And right around BKs 24th birthday!

Why you’re calling Goggles “bottles” and Jinjos “minjos”?

How about explaining the iceberg for icebergs? Go meta with the concept.

The music part actually blew my mind

I haven't finished the video yet, but to add to the music thing, I've always thought that the opening to Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison sounded like part of Treasure Trove Cove.

On the dishes... seamen’s surprise it sounds like a double meaning joke xD

Nice to see some details that I didn't knew.... (mostly from the Rare + Microsoft side of things)

I enjoyed seeing the fixed Chrono videos. GG m8

In defence of the inflation valve location on Patches, that's a really common place for it on real inflatables. Doesn't make it less penisy, but it does give a reason for it beyond what's on the face of it.

I suggest divin go into Diddy Kong racing

19:31 The N64 logo is totally correct, though. If you compare it to an image of the logo today you'll see that it lines up perfectly. I don't get why this is included.

The eggs were also reintroduced in Tooie's XBLA version based on your unlocking of them in Kazooie XBLA. As for their original purpose I doubt it would have been much more meaningful than the actual eggs you find in Tooie's 64 version ! Beta Minjos : Minjos are actually different from Jinjos and were later reintroduced in Tooie. They're basically evil Jinjos that turn evil when approached.

"Who is this squirrel?" Why, none other than Nabut's booty call.

Well at least Viva Pinata was able to get it's own animated series

Fun fact viva piñata had a cartoon on 4kids and it was quite successful

gruntildas lair is an absolute banger 🔥

Bruh, why Banjo be choking her like that? Better yet, why does she look like she's enjoying it!?

I need banjo X

I love banjo kazooie and banjo tooie. Really Nice video

6:45 lol nice edit

People call Boggy a bad dad but in reality it’s probably the only time he could go sledding since his wife was away.

You really deserve more views...

12:17 It's funny how you don't mention that shortly after this, one of the characters at the tables literally gets killed lol

Clankers remains at 29:48 genuinely made me glum.

Wait so that room at the beginning scene in BK (where Grunty is talking to Dingpot and learned about Tooty) actually exists in the game? Where?

I have a personal nostalgia for this game. When I was very little, I was suffering from really bad night terrors, to the point that my parents took me to a hospital to figure out what was going on. I have zero clue what they found out but the most prominent memory I have from then was this one nurse rolled in a small TV stand with an n64, and the game in the slot was Banjo-Kazooie. Is it my favorite game? Sadly no, but it's definitely one I'll personally treasure regardless of faults.

Please do a Grabbed by the Ghoulies Iceberg

Does anyone else remember Banjo grabbing his foot while jumping up and down after kicking mumbo's xylophone in the intro of the game??

The fast and the furriest would have been so good.

Banjos sister lived in the house and knew bottles so it could be her picture. Although why wouldn't he question her as to who he is

Ahhh so that’s why there’s an ice key in the first game and Easter eggs in the second

Thank you, I just started playing on the switch

The grey Jinjos made their appearance in Spiller’s Harbor in Banjo Kazooie: Grunty’s Revenge in 2003.

Stop N Swop 2 is used in the DLC for Nuts and Butts

nice video. i really hope we see this game come back.

Mumbo jumbo didn't revive bottles because there wasn't a pannel

Dude, I LOVE your videos. But and ad EVERY minute is just WAAAAY too much

Canary Mary was easy, all you had to do is alternate both thumbs on the A button.

33:15 If Banjo is turned into a frog, what about kazooie? Does she fall out of the bag, or is she half of the frog?

What game came first dream? Or diddy Kong racing?! Because of banjos idea. Then he was put into dkr right?!

Banjo X sounds like Final Fantasy 7 Remake's plot

snacker can be killed, why is it so deep? did no one ever try that but a few (like me)?

Thats a lot of mother freakin ads. Rare always has amazing concepts. But they never follow through it. :/

14:05, it's not that hard if you got that right tool or stamina to beat that certain challenge.

today’s “overly coddled” world? oh boy

AINT NO WAY it DONT say that

3:33 rare made an official statement saying that in universe they were arrested by the rubbish video game Characters police

Can someone please explain to me the difference between the N64 logos? They look the same to me

Fact corrections: 1:21 The "magical adventure on a pirate island" concept and "Land of Giants" subtitle are from two distinct stages of the project. "Land of Giants" was when it was still a SNES game. The pirate elements didn't appear until they moved the project to Nintendo 64. 3:14 The reintroduction of Stop N Swop only partially involved Nuts & Bolts. If you have Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie XBLA data on your system, the Stop N Swop items will appear in Banjo-Kazooie and can be brought to Banjo-Tooie, where they'll unlock bonus content, some of which was obtainable in the N64 version through other means. Nuts & Bolts does unlock special vehicle parts if you have Stop N Swop data, but it's not the whole picture. 4:37 The door seen in the opening cutscene and the doors (two of them, in fact) found at the top of Grunty's tower at the end of the game are different doors reusing the same 3D model. The one in the opening cutscene opens into a room that you pass through normally, while the two that you can actually encounter are in the room with the beauty stealing machine and have nothing behind them. 6:53 The large, muscular Jinjo with fangs is not from a "beta version of the game", and in fact, is found only in Banjo-Tooie, where it goes unused. The most likely explanation is that it's an unused Minjo design, owing to its intimidating appearance. 7:02 More importantly, Japanese Gruntilda doesn't rhyme. This is because rhyming is not seen as particularly interesting or clever in Japanese. The stereotypical old lady talk was probably given to her so she would still have some kind of speech quirk. 9:03 That is an icon of Bottles as a regular ghost, a form seen normally, not Devil Bottles. 10:36 That picture is in Banjo's house in Banjo-Kazooie, not Banjo-Tooie. 13:35 Mumbo transforms Banjo into a termite, not an ant. 14:05 This entire "fact" comes from an information speaker in Banjoland in Nuts & Bolts, and in context, is clearly meant as a piss take at Mario Party, not an actual development fact. A few other information speakers around the level carry a similar non-serious tone. 14:55 Near the land. It's a beach, not a highway. The vaguely-put "various methods" that can be used to defeat Snacker are Egg Firing and Wonderwing. 15:04 Despite containing water, not being underwater. 15:54 Only hidden cheats that unlock moves or remove obstacles from Grunty's Lair will incur Grunty's wrath. Cheats you learn from Cheato or Bottles, use to unlock Stop N Swop items, or refill items do not count. In the XBLA port, using any cheat other than the ones from Cheato and Bottles will disable certain XBLA features. 20:34 "Blue Twinklies" is a completely unnecessary and misleading qualifier. TWinklies come in colors other than blue, and Twinkly Munchers eat all colors of Twinkly. 21:26 Not merely "very similar to Mr. Vile", all of the audience members are various enemies from throughout the game, including Mr Vile. 22:50 Mrs. Boggy only appears in Banjo-Tooie, and her abusive behavior towards her children is only shown in that game. Her abuse towards her husband is referenced in Nuts & Bolts, however. 23:31 Only two aliens are found dead in Hailfire Peaks. Sabreman, however, can also be found here and revived with Mumbo's Life Force. 24:58 "Mumble Jumbo" appears on-screen here instead of "Mumbo Jumbo" 34:21 Other way around. Soggy and Moggy's models appear to be more or less complete, but their AI is merely recycled Minjo AI.

I only like the old games The new banjo looks kinda weird
