Ugh, that second Canary Mary race is 100% BS. Flat out used a half-broken Madcatz controller with turbo to beat it, barely. The rubber banding is so incredibly busted.

The way I see it, if the game cheats then you should feel no shame in cheating back. And Canary Mary blatantly cheats. I mean, what does she do, drain your inertia to power her own flight or something?

You know, for how amazingly terrible rare was at making races in their games, they sure loved putting races in their games.

I've finally been catching up on these videos now that we're out of the holiday season! This game is so impressive. It's hugely ambitious, I have no idea how they even managed to make this for the N64. That they decided to release a sequel to a fairly standard 3d platformer and came out with this instead is incredible. The thing is though it just doesn't look like much fun. Maybe I'm missing the joy of actually exploring these ginormous interconnected spaces myself but compared to the more traditional and tightly designed levels of the first game this just kind of seems dull. It feels more like an RPG than anything, if that makes sense?

Maybe I'm missing the joy of actually exploring these ginormous interconnected spaces myself but compared to the more traditional and tightly designed levels of the first game this just kind of seems dull. It feels more like an RPG than anything, if that makes sense? The game does have some traces of DK64's utterly massive levels crop up a few times, with Terrydactyland and Grunty Industries being the notable offenders. But just in general the levels are on the large side and that does lead to some areas where not to much is happening in the level, with a few just being large for the sake of it. Also, with every level except Cloud Cuckooland flat out needing a second trip to get everything can feel a tad sluggish and/or dull if you don't like that type of design, but Rare probably did want to try to create a different experience with B-T and they have shown a willingness to change up normal conventions, see the shooter Jet Force Gemini having collect-a-thon and even platforming elements on top of a... unorthodox control scheme, to put it lightly. (Still have a massive soft spot for JFG though, and still wish that it got a second game, although with the current state of Rare... yeah...  )

The level of morale difference between this and the previous video is palpable. Granted, I remember that being an issue for me and my brother playing the second game. It just kind of goes on. We just ended up playing a lot of the multiplayer instead.

You know, I actually gave Rare the benefit of the doubt thinking that maybe the Minjos were just accidentally named after British slang for a vagina. After seeing "Mingy Jongo" I think I can confidently say they knew what they were doing.

Honestly a major thing with B-T vs B-K, besides the level size, is busywork, B-T just has a ton more padding in both levels and getting Jiggies then in B-K. It definitely still has some shades of DK64 in that matter, as that was another game that often didn't respect your time and made you jump through more and more hoops to get its' collectibles.

I love it too! We were pretty down on it in the last few videos, but honestly that's because I didn't think ahead and left pretty much all the busywork for the end. The game absolutely goes too far a lot of the time, but I think it strikes a good middle-ground between Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64, expanding upon the former but not hitting the miserable slog status of the latter. I prefer Kazooie, but I can understand and respect people who prefer Tooie because it honestly is a good game still.

The way I've always looked at them is Kazooie is fun to 100% (because you pretty much have to to beat it,) while Tooie is fun to beat. Nuts and Bolts is fun until it's not.

I'm disappointed Wozza never showed up. He was my favourite NPC from the first one! I'm genuinely happy Bottles is okay at the end, that was truly hosed up just icing him like that. Beartaco fucked around with this message at 16:24 on Jan 28, 2020 |

Fun thing, if you head back to Bottle's House after the Quiz, the front door is locked and you can hear disco music coming from the house. The back door grate is also raised and disco lights are flashing inside, so it must have been one heck of a party. This also means if you didn't get the zoom feature from one of Bottle's kids, you now can't pick it up. Cauldron Keep itself was actually going to be the final world, complete with 10 Jiggies, but was cut for time, which is why there is 90 Jiggies instead of 100. Still, for all its problems in the latter parts, B-T is still a fine game, although I prefer B-K for its quicker tempo, memorable worlds, general fun and very solid pacing.

 This isn't actually a let's play of Banjo Pilot. Think of it more as bonus videos. I'm not going through Pilot with nearly the necessary attention for me to feel right calling it an actual let's play.  Banjo Bonus: Banjo Pilot Part 1

What's worse, putting Sonic the Hedgehog in a car or Kazooie in a plane? I was just typing out that I think the graphics, in particularly the racing graphics actually seem alright. Then I got to the trophy screen, hoo boy. Still I'd take this over Grunty's Revenge any day. Beartaco fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Jan 30, 2020 |

Wow that sure is some incredibly lazy pallet swapping there, just cram in a B-K series background consistency be damned I guess. Also, in the final trophy screen it was the Treasure Trove Cove background but sans any water, which frankly looked a tad concerning to be honest.

Inspired by the second Banjo Pilot video, I sat down and spent far more time than is even remotely sane or reasonable creating this timeline. Things highlighted in blue are the more directly relevant things, but there's more stuff for context. (Apologies to the guy who did this joke first, I just couldn't resist. I also couldn't find your name. )

Wow that last prototype is absurdly cool! It looks amazing and I don't even think the performance was that bad. I feel like any issues people might have had would have been overshadowed by them looking at it and going "holy poo poo look at what they did with a drat gameboy!"
