I do think that DK64 and Tooie were products of their time. Back then I could buy a single game maybe once every four or five months with all my birthday money saved up. I appreciated that these bastards lasted. Beaver Bother was horrific but it was also like two straight weeks of incredibly frustrating entertainment. Now, sod all of that. Kazooie holds up far far better than any of the other collectathons.

Banjo is probably my favorite of the N64 collect-a-thons-with-identical-controls. It's a definite step up from Mario (which, while great, could still have used some more polishing) without being as tedious and repetitive as Donkey Kong 64, which I maintain had great potential if they just cut some drat content. I'm excited to watch you play this and see what you think, Chaos.

A crab that speaks in rhyme? Surely it's predisposed to committing crime.

Goooood Treasure Trove Cove is just such an excellent beach level. In general Rareware were always masters of setting every mood of the sea, from the bright cheer of this one to the more somber atmosphere of Gloomy Galleon in DK64.

It is completely possible to KO yourself by doing a ground pound from a great height; I've done it. Darned if it's not fun, though.

Not helping, I'm sure, is the JAWS-esque tension music that kicks in the second so much as you pinky toe touches the water. It's not scary by itself, but it does a great job of adding a little bit of extra pressure.

The dynamically changing music is one of the neatest things about Banjo Kazooie (and I believe it's the next level that has an absolute banger).

I loved the break time commentary and what immediately followed. Getting the big arrow next to a flight pad and then walking down and going the other way was also great. The talk of n64 draw distance reminded me of one collectible in this level

Natural 20 posted:Is Brentilda's theme just "When I'm 64?" I was actually watching a video yesterday that was analyzing Gruntilda's Lair's theme, that said it had the same tune as "The Teddy Bears Picnic." I would link it, but it has pretty big level spoilers for this game, plus story spoilers for Tooie.

You're really throwing us for a loop argate, I didn't think your greatest enemies would be a hermit crab and a crate

That honeycomb on a crate out to see is so bad and its all because of that draw distance. Seriously you have to be practically in the water for it to pop in. It looks like Argate figured out he got an extra honeycomb for ground pounding the snippets instead of using two attacks. I think they're pretty unique in doing that.

Just a heads up: I've noticed you carefully face away from where you're going before doing a backflip. It's counterintuitive, but you go farther by facing forward and moving that direction as you're flipping. You might not have noticed, but every time you try to flip backwards you slowly turn to face the way you're trying to move.

I think I did catch onto that eventually, but this is a habit I've internalized really strongly from Mario 64, among other things, so I'm sure there's a lot of unconscious habits I have that don't really make any sense in this game that do over there, haha.

Clanker's blowhole also could potentially annoy an engineer, if it's an exhaust port then that bolt should be kept clear!

As a kid I would skip the bulk of this level for as long as possible because turning the big key was too hard and I hated drowning. Then I realised I could do it in three separate trips to the bottom, going back up for air between each turn without having to chase those air bubbles. Still hated it though.

The dive down there is so "nope" that I didn't do it without the cheat that gives you infinite air

BTW, once you're done with Kazooie, may I suggest the romhack Banjo-Kazooie: The Jiggies of Time? It recreates Ocarina of Time in BK, and it Is Bonkers.

Actually since clanker has both a blowhole and gills... What the heck would you classify him as? Some kind of new variety of amphibian?

FoolyCharged posted:Actually since clanker has both a blowhole and gills... Classification is a fool's errand to begin with. Clanker is just a weird lad because he has for real shark gills, definitely shark tale, and a blowhole. Speaking as a professional, I would classify him as "cyborg shark," and leave it at that. Farther down that path lies madness. sebzilla posted:A whale shark I will also accept this because it made me chuckle and groan at the same time.

It's me, I'm the person who dislikes Clanker's Cavern. Mainly due to B-K's clunky swimming controls coupled with my tendency to claustrophobia that gets exaggerated in all these underwater tunnels.

It's not a whale unless it's from the Sideways Tail and No Gills region of France; otherwise it's just sharkling otter.
