(+) Yeah! (+)

Fucking hate rusty bucket bay. That and clankers cavern that I beat yesterday. Just...why...

Had 58 notes when I tried saving an orange jinjo in the corner. Couldnt figure out where to swim out of and drowned

I thought you kept notes unless you leave the area

Only the Xbox port. The N64 version resets your note count if you die.

You keep the maximum but Im trying for 100 notes and all 10 jiggies in every level

Oh. I've only played the N64 one.

Fuuuu I hate this level so much

How is the game in general 15 years on?

But...Rusty Bucket Bay has such a great song!

Graphics definitely didnt age well but Im still having a ton of fun. At least I was...

Fucking got killed in the propellant room with 81 notes and 4/5 jiggies. Now I know to start with this shit first and collect notes and jiggies at the end. Fml

Ha was thinking the same. I imagine they gave it a great song so you have something fun to listen to while you try not to punch a wall

I like to do the insta-death platforming and swimming sections in Rusty Bucket Bay as early as I can so I don't lose all my notes if I die

Yeah since its been so long for me, I cant remember what those are. Im just exploring as I go. Then make a note of what those are and go there first.

I have fond memories of falling down the Click Clock wood tree

Lol thank goodness for the engine room glitch. Got that jiggy easily. Have one more jiggie and then the ones from jinjos. And then all the notes again

Lol. I cant remember that level either. Its been fun to play after so long because it feels new again. I plan on playing Tooie after. I never got far as a kid.

I remember Click Clock woods mainly because I had so much fun being a bee. I should replay this at some point this year, too.

Welp got all the jiggies (after dying several times saving the damn dolphin) except for jinjos. Time to save their butts. Then Ill get the notes.

Got all the notes! Done with this terrible level.

I once fell off the slippery roof and died with about 98 notes.

Ugh the worst.

Ive fallen a ton so far. But luckily died once. Ive got all jiggies. Just missing 4 more notes ugh.

Got them! Now have all 100 jiggies and 900 notes. Now to beat Grunty. I have never actually managed to beat her when I got there in the past. So well see. I remember she was tough.

Im on the edge of my seat, this is no small feat as Im sitting on a beanbag

This is one thing I'm glad got fixed in banjo tooie, once you picked up a note it was yours

---

I played it about a year ago and still like the way it looks. I played on a CRT though, so that might have helped. What really agreed poorly is dat framerate.

RBB is the worst level by far though. And the notes were hella annoying.

---

I don't think I can play anything but the XBLA version now. The notes on RBB are way too annoying.

---

I love RBB myself, but I'm sure a lot of that is due to playing on the far more forgiving XBLA version, where taking a death does not mean having to collect every damn note again.

---

Banjo Kazooie holds up really well imo. Played it a few years ago for the first time since I was a kid. Only ever played it on N64. Yeah, there are a few parts which can be unforgiving.

---

I wish I had played the XBLA version. Would have made things so much less stressful.

Took a break from the game but now Im on to Gruntys Furnace Fun. Should be interesting since I completely forgot what this is.

I once drowned above the water in RBB cause there's a delay on how fast your breathing recharges

Lol that happened to me too. I was mid-air, about to hit the ground and died. So pissed

Also these questions are kind of hard. I really hate the timed ones.

At long last, finally beat this game since I first played it over 20 years ago. Omg I hate that fight so much. Im terrible at the flying part.
