And why did somebody ruin it with ugly hi-res textures https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mRvDw1Oxok

Seriously why would you play the game like this, it looks horrible.

These are all fine choices. But they're not Banjo-Kazooie

No way! Tooie's levels are too big and spread out, it becomes a chore playing after like 2 levels.

Right

FTFY.

In all seriousness, they do different things better. Personally, I really like the scale and interconnectedness of Tooie's worlds better than Kazooie's. By the same token. though, I know some people prefer the worlds to be more self-contained, and find Tooie's just too large/convoluted to be entertaining, or don't like the backtracking. Different strokes for different folks, really.

Tooie has great gameplay improvements, but the N64 version suffers from frame drops and the level design isn't as memorable.

But it's pretty dang close.

Yeah if Tooie were better optimized and had more concise level design it would easily beat Kazooie. But its problems are just too numerous that it all gets bogged down.

I just played through the first 5 worlds and I can confirm that Banjo-Kazooie is indeed the best.

^This is one of the weirdest game design choices ever.
I feel like they just lifted it directly from Super Mario 64.

I mean it only takes like 15 minutes on average to complete a Banjo-Kazooie level so I don't think it's a problem.

Also, yeah BK you get constant gratification, you're doing things constantly, it just makes you feel happy to play it. Banjo-Tooie on the other hand, levels are too big, empty, and backtracky. In the time it takes to complete one Tooie level you can complete like 6 in Kazooie. Kazooie is the objectively the better game.
