Still remember flipping out when I saw the commercial for this game on TV, and flipping out again when I saw Banjo and Kazooie split up for the first time. Game thankfully didn't disappoint when I played it as a kid, but looking back, I think I'd take BK over BT if i HAD to.

Thankfully I don't, and BT is a solid sequel that just gives more of what I loved about the series. They got a lot more creative with the worlds, but there were some stinkers in there. Glitter Gulch was pretty meh, Terradactyland had that annoying main tower to climb, and Jolly Roger's Lagoon being primarily a swimming level was pretty tedioius. Bosses were a great addition though the final boss was kinda anticlimatic, especially after BK's final boss. Think they did a better job overall with the cast in BK compared to BT, as I can't think of anyone else besides Jar-Jar that I'd like to see in a 3rd game.

Outside of that, BT is sick. Classic Rareware were godlike devs.
