I don't see any posts about this. Tim Stamper posted this to Twitter yesterday. The keys have googely eyes and the mention of a vault implies returning to past projects.

Could this be our latest tease for a new Banjo game that ends up being nothing? lol

Started playing this on a whim whenever I had downtime and I got pulled in. I'm about 3 hours in so I'm guessing roughly halfway through the game and it's been a delight. Feels more similar to Kazooie than Tooie..like an actual collectathon that you can fully complete stages as you go (at least up to this point in my playthrough). It's a bit on the easier end but for a GBA game it offers pretty much what I'd want for short play sessions.

So, I made the big mistake of introducing my soon-to-be three-year-old to Banjo through what I believe is the Smash clip. He is now completely obsessed and wants Banjo toys, a Banjo birthday cake, and even Banjo Pez figures to add to his collection.

The problem is that it’s basically a dormant IP, with almost no merch out there whatsoever. So what can I do? Other than the Amiibo and Funko Pop figures, there seems to be absolutely nothing available in Sweden or even Europe.

I have been contemplating 3D-printing a Banjo Pez figure myself, but when it comes to clothing and stuff like that, there is absolutely nothing.

I really need to learn not to do these things to myself (again).

Please help.

I know it's not necessarily a Banjo post, but I do see DK64 as being a cousin in the same realm of gaming.

My hang-ups playing the game are likely similar to most. So many items, backtracking, and having to swap Kongs constantly, which also means more backtracking.

I played through with the Tag Anywhere mod, and that DEFINITELY improved things, but also felt a little too improved.

If you could alter anything(s) about the game, what might you do to make it more approachable or replayable?

I might start by removing the Single Colored Bananas and make a couple more bunches just to bring the collecting down a little bit. Similar to the Tooie-style Note Nests, DK64 already features Bunches that are worth 5 Colored Bananas, so that's an easy fix.

I would switch out the numbered Bananaport Pads for Tooie-style Warp Pads that allow you to choose where you go. Granted with DK64's quantity of existing port locations, that's a list of 9 plus the one you're standing on to access them. That's a lot of scrolling.

Other areas I feel need attention might be the Minigames/Bonus Barrels, and the Arcade Cabinet Donkey Kong.

I was just curious how other people felt about the game and how they might choose to overcome their particular shortcomings.

I played both Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie when I was a kid, but I'm more familiar with Banjo-Kazooie because a friend stole Tooie from me (I let him borrow it, but then he changed schools and we lost contact, so he never returned it lol)

I recently played Banjo-Kazooie, and everything was very familiar, no surprises.

But when I started Banjo Tooie, I noticed how Banjo sounds when he jumps- you know, the "wiii" and "wuuu" (which I assumed were a reference to the sounds Mario makes when jumping)- were different, and I didn't remember this detail!

I was wondering if this is the same for all versions of the game (European, Japanese, American)

Because I got asked about this it'd be better to demonstrate it rather than explain it.

Video shows me disabling the move learned flag trying to use the pad then reenabling it to show it does correctly dim the pad but you still can use the move in either case.

TLDR if you didnt read the post there are two of these pad objects in Banjo Kazooie and via an oversight on Rare, the one used in Tooie always works even when its transparent.

The oversight comes from the other pads being always enabled as an assumption that the player learned the move (as your required normally to use it to reach Gobi's Valley etc).

There are some pads past this point that still check for the move learned but most don't.

Playing Banjo Kazooie on the SC64, running into an issue where whenever we enter Mad Monster Mansion we suddenly lose the rat-a-tap rap and climbing abilities.

We have had no issues till now, we have gone back and we learned the moves from bottles at spiral mountain and no matter what as soon as we enter this zone we no longer have access to the abilities.

Does anyone know what's happening or how to fix this?

Wonderwing only hot water fall. Toes in lava? That's fine. Backpack under acid or scalding water? That's fine. Backpack umbrella under hot water fall? How dare you even try?

Hey folks, I am trying to fully complete Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and I am completely stuck on the "What's That Smell" achievement. Because you have to play an online multiplayer match against someone who already has it, it is basically impossible to unlock naturally nowadays. Does anyone here have the achievement and a few spare minutes to jump into a quick match with me so it spreads to my account? Let me know and I will DM you my Xbox Gamertag, I would massively appreciate the help!

Everything is in the title

There is a small entrance, as if it were here for stony banjo, but there is no stony to talk with. So, what's the point ?

I'm currently trying to 100% so I'm looking at the wiki from time to time...

This page for mad monster mansion

https://banjokazooie.fandom.com/wiki/Mad_Monster_Mansion

...lists 7 notes in the toilet room that don't exist ToT so the list is inaccurate somehow. I found a video that evidences where each note is so I might come back with a real list later for the wiki to be updated someday

I just randomly came across the CD at the thrift store today and picked it up. The soundtrack is so fun!

I gotta say as much as I want to love this game, it's frustrating as heck lol. There are so many improvements and it's gorgeous, but I just finished Grunty Indistries and feel like I need to step away from the game for a week because of all the backtracking and fetch quests and lack of clear level progression. Definitely not a game I'd want to 100% again

I have one for work and another for travel

This was just uploaded. Glitter Gulch Mine was originally meant for Banjo-Kazooie.

First time playing kazooie (recomp version)
I played tooie as kid
Love the atmosphere

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to the whole decomp/recomp side of the BK scene! I recently played through Nostalgia 64 and Jiggies of Time and absolutely loved them.

With Mark Kurko’s Quest 4 Kurkoins coming up, I was wondering how people are planning to play it. Is it going to be playable through Banjo Recompiled right at launch, or do most people stick to traditional N64 emulators/RetroArch for new stuff? I’d sure miss the QoL touches in Recomp.

Also, where does Lighthouse fit into all of this compared to Recompiled?

I’m discovering that BK is my go to comfort game series so I’m hoping all this great stuff (the shorter Kurko games, Currupted Jiggies, Tooie, etc) is making its way over. What a great community this is!
