I enjoy challenging, fun adventure games like Mario and Zelda, and since I beat Zelda I was looking for a new game to play. That's when I found Banjo-Kazooie at a friend's house! Just recently I got it, and I haven't nearly penetrated the secrets of the game. There aren't as many characters as in Paper Mario, which to me is a down point, but the ones there are are well done and 3D, while Paper Mario's characters are all 2D. I love Paper Mario and it is still one of my favorite games, but I'm so glad I found Banjo-Kazooie! The characters include
Banjo, a big lazy bear whose little sister was kidnapped by Gruntilda the witch
Kazooie, Banjo's wise-mouthed bird friend who lives in his backpack
Bottles, a shortsighted mole who helps Banjo and Kazooie by teaching them moves with names like Beak Buster or Claw Swipe throughout the game
Mumbo-Jumbo, a shaman whose magic can turn Banjo and Kazooie into an ant, bee, a washing mashine, and even more animals! His magic is much more helpful than his grammar (Me Mumbo, greatest shaman in all game... lol)
Clanker, a metal shark that grinds the witch's trash. Only appears in one level and is not a main character. When I found him, he seemed a bit alarming but after a while I started to feel a bit sorry for him. A friend who has this game says that you're supposed to help him in some way but I haven't figured it out yet...
One stunning thing stands out in this game, graphics, graphics, and GRAPHICS!! None of the other games I've played have been this beautiful, and the characters are very detailed. There are also tiny graphical details here and there in the worlds or the witch's lair. For example, metal plates and rivets can be seen on Clanker, the feathering detail on Kazooie's wings always takes my breath away every time she flies, and once when I looked at a picture frame a bit more closely, I found tiny letters that spelled the name of a world!
The sound and music is also cool. I like Kazooie's speech sounds and the squish-squish sounds when walking through mud or swampy ground. Other small audio details come in the form of little "speech" sounds that come whenever a character is talking (this adds to each character's personality, and to the alarming presence of Clanker), distortion of the music when swimming under water, and small swishing sounds when you're being still in water (they come from Banjo's treading water, and yes that is an animation!).
Overall, Banjo-Kazooie is a great game and I would definately buy it!

This was the second game that i bought for N64 and i must say that is prob. the best game that i have bought yet, ( i know own close to 10 i think ). the graphics in this game are awesome, the story line is cool, and the side puzzles are fun. i would recommend this game to anyone looking for a challenge. there is nothing that i can think of that is wrong with it. just an all around great game.

The beauty of Banjo Kazooie is the quirkiness. Banjo is off to rescue his sister from the witch so she wont become ugly. That's just the start. Banjo Kazooie is cute, pretty and a whole lot of fun. The best platform game I've played.

The evil witch Gruntilda has stolen Banjo's younger sister, Tooty, in hopes to steal her beauty. Banjo, and Kazooie, the bird that's lodged in his pack, will have to rescue her. You start off in Spiral Mountain, in which the mole, Bottles, will teach you some basic moves. Then you move on to Gruntilda's gigantic lair, in which you will be searching all over for world entrances, into Munbo's Mountain, and Treasure Trove Cove, Clanker's ( a large shark-shaped trash compacter) Cavern, Bubblegloop Swamp, Frezeezy Peak, Gobi's Valley, Mad Monster Mansion, Rusy Bucket Bay, Click-Clock Wood, then Grunty's game show, in which you answer Banjo trivia, and finnally the final battle. Yes, its a lot, and it will take you quite a long time. But it is SOOO fun!
In each world, you will find:
10 jigsaw pieces, or jiggies, which are either lying around or a reward for doing, or defeating something. You use jiggies to open the door to each world (note: sometimes puzzles are faar away from the actual world)
100 musical notes. These are used to get through musical doors, to advance farther in your quest. These are much easier to get than jiggies.
5 Jinjos. A mix between a dino and teddy bear. if you find all five in a world, you get a jiggy.
1 Witch switch. Hammer this switch with Grunty's face on it and a Jiggy will appear somewhere in the lair.
Bottles. In every world up to Gobi's valley, he has a molehill, and if called on, will teach you a new move.
Mumbo: He's only in some worlds, in a big shaman's skull, bring him Mumbo tokens and he will change you into a different creature, essential for findind some jiggies and notes.
Cheeto: He hides in the dark corners of the liar. He doubles your capacity for; blue eggs (ammo), red feathers (flying), and gold feathers (invincebility).
Cauldrons: these also hide in the nooks and crannies of the lair. They provide shortcuts within the lair.
I suggest buying a strategy guide, it's very hard trying to find where the jiggies and notes are.
I am amazed by Rare's building of the worlds and lair. This game will be so much fun. You'll find yourself addicted.

I really really like this game! it was the first game I got for my N64 and i still play it. The graphics are wonderful and colorful and the gameplay is great. You can play it for a long time and not get tired of it. There are nine huge worlds and they are all very different from eachother.
The game is very simple at first and it's easy to learn how to play. But then it gets REALLY challening on the last worlds.
I recommend this game to anyone! But maybe not young kids cause it's a little difficult..
