r/BanjoKazooie

Grunty Industries is the best level in all of banjo and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

The design is absolute cinema. It’s supposed to be complicated. You’re in an industrial factory so of course it’s supposed to be dangerous and large. I work around stuff like that irl so maybe that’s why it seems familiar to me but still. And don’t even get me started on the music that plays. 10/10 overall.

How was a Gruntilda striptease rated E?

This would never pass that ESRB today. Also, “scary” doesn’t seem to be the right descriptor for that striptease if it’s that “skirt that when she’s thinner makes her look a winner” coming off.

Who are these?!

Was just playing early game Banjo Tooie and I noticed these 2 inside of the rooms of Bottles children's rooms. (R.I.P Bottles).

Finished banjo kazooie for the first time ever via the recomp on steam deck. What should I play next?

I loved it with HD textures, modern camera and wide screen. I also loved playing each world to 100 percent before moving on to the next.

My understanding is playing tooie will be a downgrade from that and no recomp exists.

My options are:
Emulate xbla tooie on steam deck, emulate n64 on steam deck
Play tooie on switch online

Or
Play yooka replaylee

What do y’all recommend?

BanjoTooie and MajorasMask to an extent are weirdly similar imo

Both were released in 2000, both reuse and recycle assets from their predecessor games, Ocarina Of Time and Banjo-Kazooie both released in ‘98 and their direct sequels were Tooie and Majora which came out 2 yrs after ,

Both antagonists are mischievous magical entities that use evil magic onto others and the world ,

Both have dark plots, they tackle the concept of death ( Bottles and alien dad die ) ( plenty of characters die in Majora’s mask )

Both games are pretty short and don’t have that many worlds to explore but there’s so many sidequests and so much to do in them overall to where both games feel so much larger than they really are ,

mumbo kinda looks like skull kid and how Wumba has great fairy energy , and with that how u can magically turn into other species and things that in context revolve around the different forms of gameplay and how no one knows that ur banjo and kazooie in disguise just like how no one knew Link was in disguise taking on the role of a different form ,

and lastly BK and OOT are more praised while MM and Tooie have always been overshadowed and overlooked .

Rebuilding my N64 collection- Picked up a copy of Tooie. It’s so funny to me that whoever played this last spent almost 7 hours in Grunty Industries and didn’t get a single jiggy. Best guess is they left their N64 on but still lol.

A Few Drawings

(The third one is based on an idea I had that Kazooie is afraid of thunder and lightning and so she hides in her backpack.)

Who else lost or quit to see Game Over Grunty?

Did you ever purposely Game Over to view through this cutscene? Personally, I didn’t have the patience to lose all the lives I accumulated and would just Save & Quit for these 20 glorious seconds.

Can I 100% every level upon first entering in banjo kazooie?

Playing for the first time on Switch and realized the note count resets. Will I need to backtrack with new abilities or can I fully clear everything on my first go?

Sorry if this has already been answered

Here’s how I’d fix nuts and bolts rep

First the commercials:

Rather than false nonsense, it’s honest

One trailer can be banjo and kazooie trying to cross a gap, but they quickly find a car, set ups ramp, and drive across easily.

Another is a live action one where banjo does a drivers test and actually does very well.

As for the beginning the game, banjo now runs a mechanic shop in spiral mountain, and is just about to close for the day when he hears… something. Said something is grunty. LOG shows up, gives grunty a new body, and the game continues in as it did in the OG nuts and bolts.

Edit: as a suggestion from someone else, the dialogue shitting on the previous two games is now removed.
