The introduction to my new playthrough series, Banjo-Kazooie!

Man, I remember this game from when I was a kid. Played the living daylights out of it. As you'll see through this playthrough, I still know where every last jiggie, music note, and secret lies.

I also remember a time when I used to struggle with finishing any given playthrough. Now I'm just popping them out left and right. Now if only I could get some views...

Oh, and this the Xbox version of the game. There are ultimately few changes between this and the original N64 version, but there are some. First, music notes in the world no longer reset when you leave the world, meaning it is now easier to collect them all. (Also can cause a glitch if you do Bottles's puzzle challenge where it will cause 4 music notes to be unobtainable.)

Second, if you have Banjo-Tooie on your Xbox as well, it will cause this game, Banjo-Kazooie, to trigger what was once known as the "Stop 'n' Swap" feature that was on the original title. If you beat this game 100% before and saw the end secrets Mumbo Jumbo showed you, you'll remember there were some things you couldn't get, like that ice key. It was originally going to be part of this Stop 'n' Swap on the N64, where Banjo-Tooie would unlock these secrets in Banjo-Kazooie, you could go and nab them, then transfer the secrets over to Banjo-Tooie to be used. It proved more difficult than anticipated, so the feature went unused in the N64 version, but still letting you access the secrets anyway in Banjo-Tooie in the game itself. But the concept is used in the Xbox version, so you'll see me "access" these secret areas. Since I already collected them in a previous game file, these areas will be empty. You'll know what they are by the special music.
