#banjo-tooie
Thanks ^^, a shame theres not more, i think 3 flopped hard here cause it was silently forgotten by the magazine, kind of like what they did with the Virtual Boy too, probably cause a bunch of new games to cover released like Ocarina, banjo tooie, Tomb Raider, FF8, conker, etc

Banjo Tooie

Big fan of the first game, but this one’s much more of a mixed bag. A lot of levels are too big and make it way too easy to get lost. It’s at its most fun once you understand the level layouts and how they all connect. I recommend giving it a shot if you enjoyed the first game.

I need to try Banj-Tooie, and some Banjo mods. I really liked Banjo-Kazooie

Kazooie recommends Loggo get in touch with Mario for his plumbing services. (Banjo-Tooie, N64, 2000)

if there's any one thing banjo recompiled needed, it's an option to increase the render distance on sprites and other important objects

because holy shit, with our last playthrough being many years back on XBLA, i'd forgotten how bad that was - it isn't this bad for most of tooie on n64 either
tried the banjo recompiled port on macbook with being mostly bedridden today

this is an easy statement to make, but wow! this was not meant for keyboard controls, and the default of Q as crouch/Z is A Choice given that you have to hold it down while using WASD to move

I remember Kazooie was initially my favorite, but after finishing watching a Banjo-Tooie playthrough, Banjo ended up being my favorite

Tooie did so much heavy lifting for their personalities, especially Banjo.
January 29, 2026 at 3:24 AM
Banjo-Tooie does a great job showing just how strong Banjo & Kazooie's relationship is.

They both have great chemistry together and I'm obsessed with them. 💙❤️
January 29, 2026 at 3:11 AM
Banjo Tooie is fun for like 10 minutes and then you realize it’s Banjo Kazooie but far more open and way bigger and you just get exhausted
January 28, 2026 at 7:29 PM
please please please recomp Banjo Tooie so that it's actually fun
January 28, 2026 at 5:46 PM
Also same about the game stuff. One day I’ll be like “I can’t wait to play banjo tooie” then the day of I’m like “you know titanfall 2 would be fun as fuck…”

OK. Seeing as how Banjo-Kazooie got a PC port not too long ago...

...I wonder if Tooie will ever have the same luck?
What a time to be alive! XD
Banjo-Tooie es un juego salvaje a veces! Sacando la miniatura, vi que me faltaban 20 notas en Terrydactyland. Dónde estarán...?

Banjo-Tooie can be pretty wild! While taking photos for a thumbnail, I found I'm missing 20 notes in Terrydactyland. Where could they be...?
Hopefully not high up.

Knowing that Gwimbly is definitely Banjo-coded, I say Banjo Tooie.
January 28, 2026 at 6:04 AM
The funny thing is I can totally see the shooter segment of his game in my head. Like either Banjo Tooie or Spyro 3.
January 28, 2026 at 6:03 AM
The most fun I’ve had playing video games last year was when I booted up my ancient Melee save file I haven’t touched since before Brawl, my 9th or so Wind Waker playthrough, and replaying Banjo-Tooie. Am I just a slave to nostalgia???
January 28, 2026 at 4:44 AM
5. Banjo-Kazooie replay (through BanjoRecompiled)

Still one of my favorite games of all time, and thanks to the Recomp for rendering the XBLA version obsolete LMAO

Now I sit in the Tooie Decomp/Recomp waiting room...

N64: Banjo-Tooie
GBA: Wario Land 4
3DS: Pokémon Omega Ruby

I'm gonna be real, Big Al from Banjo-Tooie was so hilarious: “Big Al's burgers. 100 percent 'meat of rodent origin' topped with a synthetic cheese slice.”
I love the fact that his burger item is used multiple times through the game too rather than a one-and-done.

i remain very curious how it'll be in archipelago

a lot of what makes banjo-tooie absolutely ideal as an AP game is how interconnected the world is; the path from world 7 to world 1 that normally just gives 1 jiggy can have a lot more importance if world 7 is starting world, as an example
January 27, 2026 at 4:56 PM
