Banjo-Kazooie tá ali pra mim, junto de Crash Bandicoot e Sonic Adventure como os jogos mais lindos que eu já vi em seu respectivo console. Simplesmente sou muito fã desse low poly e uso de cenários de praia e florestas com cores fortes.

O roteiro é salvar a irmã do Banjo, Tooty, mas não é pra isso que estamos jogando ele. Jogamos ele para viver uma aventura incrível por cenários gigantescos que escondem segredos por todos os cantos (inclusive segredos que viram lenda urbana), ver a dinâmica caótica do urso e do pássaro que parecem não se entenderem, mas estão juntos de qualquer forma, ver as coisas aleatórias em que o Mumbo Jumbo vai te transformar em cada fase, descobrir que não é só nas fases que existem as peças coletáveis, se perder nesse castelo gigantesco da Gruntilda... Cara tem muita, mas MUITA coisa pra se fazer nesse jogo. Então, a Tooty que lute.

Eu peguei pra completar a primeira vez esse jogo usando um guia da revista original Nintendo World, foi muito bom, me senti uma criança de novo.

Eu nem tenho nenhuma piada pra escrever aqui, esse jogo só é maravilhoso.

If you want the game that really put its stamp on the Collectathon genre, look no further than Banjo-Kazooie. It's an immaculate and timeless game; it's honestly hard to find much I can say about it. The presentation is charming, funny and weird. The music is absolutely delightful. The platforming and exploration is tightly designed.

I feel like Banjo-Kazooie as a near-perfect game as it is, has lent itself to a sort of mystique that has only been challenged by sequels or spiritual successors, all of which just don't have the secret sauce that B-K has. A lot of the follow-ups to B-K in both direct and indirect terms suffer from serious bloat problems (ahem Tooie/DK64)

Banjo-Kazooie is like a gourmet cut of lean beef; it cuts out most of the fat bullshit, and you're left with a short but beautifully designed and elegant game that runs like clockwork.

My sister and I adored this game to the end. I remember we bought this on the off chance of it just looking kind of cool by the commercials? But we were still unsure. But us only being kids at the time, we were just dying of laughter, and having a blast collecting collectibles and honey combs, and exploring a wide variety of different seasoned maps. Banjo-Kazooie put Rare on the field, it was an instant classic. It quite possibly rivaled even Super Mario 64. Hell, I would say it’s actually better than Mario 64. It’s that’s good.

this was actually the first game I vividly remember playing and kinda set the standard for me when it came to collect-a-thons and 3D Platformers, incredibly straight forward gameplay and unique move set makes this a very easy game to recommend to anyone of any age to enjoy, the british humor is a nice touch as well, while its age does show its head if you're playing the XBLA versions you shouldnt have much issue as there are a few QOL features such as notes being saved on exiting and re-entering levels where as in the original N64 due to limitations exiting a level would reset non priority collectibles such as notes

TLDR: this was the first game I remember playing so I love it for that.

(Played the XBLA version via Rare Replay)
Eeeehhhhh I didn't like this one very much. Music's catchy, it looks nice, I love the characters and humor, and I find Grunty's Lair a great hub world, but it feels like the game peaks in Spiral Mountain, Mumbo's Mountain and Treasure Trove Cove, and then just drops further and further as it goes on, the exception being Mad Monster Mansion, which I thought was pretty fun (if a bit annoying from the gravestones and dying, more on that later).
Alongside that, collecting can be really annoying at points, the swimming and flying controls aren't very good (even with the sharp turn), the mapping of Wonderwing (at least on XBLA) is a bit dumb, some enemies requiring Wonderwing to be killed is dumb, having to go from the entrance back to wherever world you were at/going to when you reload a save gets annoying when you start getting to the later levels, the spamming of the hole enemies (especially on small platforms, usually leading you to falling off if they hit you) is annoying, the lives system is very dumb (though tbf, lives systems in collectathons in general is very dumb and shouldn't be a thing and (in the XBLA version) the only way to circumvent it disables saving, dying is a pain in the ass because it resets almost everything in the level, the lack of a reticle makes egg shooting and the beak bomb annoying to work with, and the fixed camera angles can obscure important things or screw you over.

(despite all the negative things I said) I don't think it's at all a bad game, but I don't think it's great either, and it's one I don't think I'm gonna want to come back to anytime soon.

Oh yeah also the last two phases of the final boss are horseshit.

Um exemplo a ser seguido quando falamos de jogos de ação-aventura, este jogo é lindo, cheio de cores vibrantes e uma jogabilidade fluida e intuitiva. Sua trilha sonora é cativante, envolvente e cheia de vida. Confesso que há um excesso de colecionáveis, o que poderia aumentar o fator de replay de algumas fases, mas às vezes isso causa certa preguiça. No entanto, é um ótimo jogo e recomendo bastante a experiência.

There is nothing harder than attempting to follow in the footsteps of a revolutionary masterpiece like Super Mario 64. And yet, no studio in the world was better equipped than Rare--after all, they completed this herculean task once before.

In a lot of ways, Banjo-Kazooie did for 3D platformers exactly what Donkey Kong Country did for 2D platformers. Much like how the Donkey Kong Country games solidified the baseline established by the early Mario titles, Banjo-Kazooie made great strides for the 3D platformer genre. No one can doubt Mario 64's influence, but much of the tropes of platformers of the time stemmed from Banjo-Kazooie, not Mario.

It's worth praising the work that went into bringing the stages of Banjo-Kazooie to life. Gruntilda's Lair dwarfs Peach's Castle, featuring far more puzzles and secrets. Banjo Kazooie's stages are filled with colorful characters and surprisingly solid writing. The texture work is absolutely phenomenal--Banjo-Kazooie looks better than anything on the N64 has a right to. And, last but not least, there is the absolutely legendary soundtrack. Praising the soundtrack is done to death at this point, but more understated, however, is the impeccable crossfading.

It's hard not to consider Banjo-Kazooie a massive success, and don't get me wrong, it is. But, all the same, I find myself preferring Super Mario 64. Banjo-Kazooie's huge scope is impressive, but I can't help but feel it distracts from the actual point of a 3D platformer: the platforming. It's telling that Banjo-Kazooie's most frustrating and least enjoyable moments (like the fan room in Rusty Bucket Bay) are the ones that lean more heavily into actual platforming. Mario 64 has, still, the best movement system of any 3D platformer ever. In comparison, Banjo-Kazooie's platforming is a bit passé.

I almost think Banjo-Kazooie has been put into the wrong genre. The things Banjo-Kazooie is remembered by are the zany challenges (like the Furnace Fun Quiz), the transformations, the characters, the evolving worlds, the music; not the platforming. Banjo-Kazooie is a great game, but I'm not actually convinced it's a great platformer. This, honestly, almost doesn't matter though. Banjo-Kazooie is by no means conflicted: it knows what its strengths are, and it chooses wisely to make those strengths the focus.

Banjo-Kazooie stands on the shoulders of giants. It may not eclipse its predecessors in the way Donkey Kong Country did, but what Banjo-Kazooie did achieve is remarkable all the same.

I think it speaks volumes of Banjo-Kazooie's stellar soundtrack that Grant Kirkhope is sort of the darling face of classy old Rare now. It's definitely a deserved accolade- no matter how unorthodox it might be that a composer overshadows the rest of the dev team, don't see that too often.

Beyond great music and precise platforming, what really sets the bear-and-bird's outing apart from its contemporaries is that cheeky, irreverent English humour and charm. The kind of game that has you smiling the whole way through, unless you don't realize you have to break in through the windows in Rusty Bucket Bay. Slightly bullshit, but went straight back to smiling when I hear all the lovely sound design again. Jinjoooo.

With the highly competitive era of the N64 & PS1, where there seemed to be just about one masterpiece coming out every month. This game still managed to write itself in the history books as one of the titans of it's era. Rare creating a game that many see as close to the levels of quality as Mario 64. Although I must say, as much as I love the game I can't say I see that personally, but moving on.

The movement in the game is impeccable, It's not the precise and fluid buttery smooth movement from Mario, but still an an incredibly well made movement, with loads of options on your set on how to travel around the vast world in this game. Which only helps to create an even large incentive to explore and collect more items.

Banjo Kazooie in my view is one of the best Collect-a-Thons the genre has seen. Really only failing to be the best in it's era due, to the simple fact that Nintendo released one of the greatest games of all time during it. Even still, it still uphelds itself today as one of the golden standards of the Collect-a-Thon genre. And one that every game developer, large or indie. Should look on to when it comes to developing a fun collecting experience.

I won't speak much about the games soundtrack. Because listening to it simply speaks for itself.

Banjo Kazooie to me is incredibly close to being a perfect game. And from seeing my rambling here you might even wonder why it isn't. Simply put, the game is finally starting to show some age, with a recent short play test of the game. I found myself a little bored, not as glued to the screen as I found myself growing up. An issue that would likely be resolved had the game received as much love as Mario 64 has, with it's very impressive modding community keeping the game up even to modern standards with 1920x1080 support, and 60fps. And Ocarina of Time also getting similar love with ShipofHarkinian(which if you are interested in playing Ocarina tdpay, should absolutely be the way you do so!). Banjo however has not received the same support, the game continues to become more and more outdated. I'm not one to complain much about frames and resolution, but Banjo is starting to show its age, and its something we need to accept. Banjo likely will eventually get a remake. Until that day however. Banjo to me is a solid 9/10
