Summary

In this 3D platformer, the heroic but naive bear Banjo enlists his smart-mouthed bird buddy Kazooie to help rescue his younger sister from a vain, beauty-stealing witch. The player is tasked with exploring the witch's lair and the nine large, open levels within it, looking for tasks and challenges to complete. Along the way they meet a variety of characters who teach them new moves and transform them into different animals. Modeled after Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie is distinguished by its cheeky and sarcastic sense of humor and by a large, varied, and novel moveset.

While not the first 3D platformer, I would say that this is probably the first actually good one (sorry Mario 64 and Crash Bandicoot). As far as mascot collect-a-thons, I'd say this popularized the dual protagonist approach—and they utilize it to good effect. There's a pretty robust moveset that tak...

Sometimes Banjo Kazooie is a charming, kooky, and brilliant 3D platformer organized as one of the greatest video game scavenger hunts of all time. Sometimes this game is incredibly annoying. For all of the good of the basic concept, design, and level layout of this game, I find that most all of the ...

Almost 100%, some mysteries left. Overall I had a great experience. The controls were very n64-y, especially the camera. I played it with the NSO n64 controller which made me appreciate the controls a bit better. Overall the game was very fun, creative with whacky characters 🤪 The camera would oft...
