Riding in on its witchy broom in 1998, Banjo-Kazooie landed on the N64 and was an instant classic. Besides being one of the best-known and most popular games on the N64, it helped popularize the 3-D collectathon platformer. The game spawned a sequel a few short years later which was even more ambitious and expansive, but the original's more focused and carefully crafted worlds tend to be looked on with more appreciation. What made this game so popular at the time and do these same quirks and qualities still shine like so many golden jiggies today, or have they been scuffed and scarred by the passage of over 20 years? We will dive deep and explore the worlds, collectibles, characters, combat, moves, and mechanics. Every Note and Jiggy will be overturned in our pursuit of objective truth and unbiased scrutiny. Also, Josh is biased regardless and will be severely nostalgia-checked.
