On June 20, , again renamed Nintendo 64 was released in Japan along with the Super Mario 64 and the other two games. In the same year, on September 26 it was released in the US, and later in other countries. Console instantly became a hit, but the limitations in the quality of the games have slowed the sales. Games were appearing slowly, developers complained of restrictions of cartridge format.

Mortal Kombat 4. Conker's Bad Fur Day. The first time you play the game, you have no choice but to explore a small grassy area patrolled by Bottles the mole, who gives you the basic moves you need.
When you first enter the game proper, Banjo has a couple of attacks and a high jump, but little else. However, the further you go, the more moves the pair acquire. Each time you find a molehill, Bottles pops up to teach Banjo or Kazooie a new move - which, as luck would have it, is needed to progress further within that world.
The first time around, it took over nine hours of play before Banjo and Kazooie were fully kitted out with all their moves. Oddly enough, by the time the twosome are fully tooled up, it's Kazooie who proves the more capable of the duo.
Maybe the game should have been called Kazooie-Banjo. On second thoughts, perhaps not. That's a stupid name. Like Mario before it - that comparison is going to keep coming up, so get used to it and stop complaining - Banjo- Kazooie is divided up into themed 'worlds', a kind of Disneyland without the queues and the small and sticky piles of sawdust.
Entrance to these worlds is won by finding the jigsaw puzzle pieces hidden throughout the game and using them to complete the various pictures hanging on the walls of Gruntilda's lair.
Mario fans who try jumping into the pictures will be disappointed, since the actual entrances can be quite a long way from the puzzles that open them. Initially, only one world - Mumbo's Mountain - can be explored, the single jigsaw piece needed to open it handily being in the same area as the picture. Everything else is tantalisingly out of reach, up a steep path that the lumbering Banjo isn't able to climb. Mumbo's Mountain is a kind of microcosm of the game as a whole, offering players the chance to hone their skills and get to grips with the kind of obstacles that crop up throughout Banjo and Kazooie's quest.
There's a small lake to practice swimming in, platforms to leap from, puzzles to solve and enemies to smash to pieces. Also popping up for the first time is Mumbo the witch doctor, quite an important character in the game since he can turn Banjo and Kazooie into other animals or indeed objects!
On Mumbo's Mountain, the pair are transformed into a termite, which can ding to the perilously steep surfaces inside a huge termite mound near Mumbo's hut. While the ultimate reward here seems to be just a puzzle piece and an extra life, don't be so sure - Mumbo's magic extends further than just his mountain Each world holds ten puzzle pieces, musical notes which when collected in sufficient quantities let you open sealed areas and varying numbers of eggs for shooting , red and gold feathers for flying and invincibility , honeycombs for energy and Mumbo's magical crystal skulls.
There are also five Jinjos in each world, that are little multicoloured creatures with long noses who award you a puzzle piece when you've got the entire polychromal set. Collecting the puzzle pieces isn't as simple as it sounds.
Although some are visible from the off, the only brain-teaser being exactly how to reach them, most of them are hidden and require you either to solve a puzzle or complete some task to make them appear. The further you go into the game, the more demanding the puzzles, which stands to reason really. It'd be rather pointless to have things get easier the nearer the end you were. Like Mortal Kombat Mythologies , for instance. Early puzzles include spelling out the name 'Banjo-Kazooie' on a tiled floor after first figuring out how to drain the room of water which is straightforward enough, but later ones involve tapping out a tune on a giant church organ and making life comfortable for a huge mechanical shark!
For those who prefer action to thinking, Banjo-Kazooie doesn't skimp in this respect either. As well as dealing with the small-fry enemies infesting each world, who can be clawed, rolled or pecked into oblivion, there are larger bad guys who have to be nailed in their own individual ways.
Nipper the giant crab, a resident of Treasure Trove Cove, seems at first to be invulnerable, responding to Kazooie's insults with swipes from his massive pincers. Eggs don't harm him and his crustaceous body is impervious to anything Banjo has to offer, so how is he defeated?
There's probably some smart way to do it involving precision tinning and darting between his claws to chin him, but the easiest approach is to wait until you've got Kazooie's 'wonderwings' ability later in the game, then come back and deck him while you're invincible.
The brute force approach - works every time! Other fun sections include a toboggan race against an overweight single parent bear, some Pilotwings -style precision flying through a series of Egyptian statues and a truly bizarre subgame where you have to help a set of Christmas tree lights get to their piney destination without being eaten by glass-chewing green heads that pop up from the floor!
All of these events take place within the game worlds, so it's possible for smart players to check out the lie of the land in advance before committing themselves to a contest.
Of course, all of this kind of thing has been seen before, in Super Mario 64 , which offered a similar 'worlds within worlds' approach, and in fact had more levels squeezed into a cartridge half the size of Banjo-Kazooie's. However, you only have to take one look to see what Rare have done with all the extra ROM space - they've used it to create some of the most stunning-looking environments ever seen on the N64, and indeed on any machine to date.
While early levels like Mumbo's Mountain could be accused of looking like Mario 64 with better detail Kazooie that doesn't have some well-designed texture slapped on it , the further you go into the game, the better it looks. Clanker's Cavern is a masterpiece of atmosphere, a polluted cylinder of rusty metal and garbage that somehow never looks quite as gross as you'd imagine.
Its centrepiece is danker himself, a mammoth mechanical shark who despite being very nearly as long as the entire level is gorgeously animated. His tail slowly wafts from side to side letting you climb up it and jump to other areas , his gills open and close, his fins send him bobbing ponderously up and down in the oil-slicked water-even his eyes track Banjo around the level!
The worlds themselves might not seem original if they're boiled down to one-liner descriptions -'the snow level', 'the Egyptian level', 'the haunted house level' -since Mario 64 also had these staples of platform gaming.
What sets them apart from anything you've ever seen before is the sheer amount of detail in them. The fantastic Mad Monster Mansion 'the haunted house level', if you will in particular looks good enough to stand as a game in its own right. The entire look of the game is generally cartoony, which is pretty much what you'd expect of a title where one of the title characters lives in the other's rucksack, but backed up with an attention to detail that bizarrely often makes it look more realistic than some games that strive for a believable look.
The only other N64 game that comes close to matching Banjo-Kazooie's glowing look of solidity is Forsaken , and while Acclaim's title has more impressive lighting effects, ultimately its hi-tech tunnels have a lot less variety. The music within the levels also varies, not just from world to world, but from section to section, smoothly segueing from one style to another as Banjo and Kazooie move around.
An early case is in Treasure Trove Cove, where the music goes from jaunty Caribbean steel drums to a sea shanty as you get nearer to a pirate ship, but there are plenty of other examples. As Banjo and Kazooie wander around Gruntilda's Lair, which is effectively a hub level that allows access to all the others, the standard music is a mutant version of Teddy Bears' Picnic, just far enough removed from the original to avoid any annoying legal problems.
Approach the entrance of Gobi's Valley and the musicians start to walk like Egyptians; head across the graveyard to Mad Monster Mansion and you get a mournful organ rendition straight out of Dracula's castle. The character select screen of Diddy Kong Racing played with the idea of changing the music to fit the moment, but Banjo-Kazooie grabs it, runs with it and plants it square on the touchline.
Sound effects are also well done. Even though Banjo and Kazooie's little yelps and squeaks do start to wear thin after a while, they never quite go so far as to become annoying. The 'speech' of the numerous characters is put across with appropriate burbling noises as the text of their conversations appears in bubbles on screen; Banjo has a germless yokel drawl, Kazooie a dry parroty squawk, Bottles the mole a muffled Kenny-style mumble and Gruntilda a demented cackle.
Even bit-part players like feathers and glass tumblers I kid you not get their own distinctive little wibbles. As well as the spot effects, there is also great use of atmospheric background noise. Clanker's Cavern echoes with rusty squeaks and rattles as the metal muncher shifts against his bonds, Bubblegloop Swamp has an underpinning of mysterious croaks and gurgles from unseen swamp dwellers and, in a superb example of sonic subtlety, the higher you climb above Treasure Trove Cove, the quieter the music gets, until at the top of the island's lighthouse all you can hear is the wind blowing across the mountain.
Sheer class. In play, Banjo-Kazooie is very much of the Mario 64 school, though tightened up a great deal. Making the most difference is the vastly better camera control. Even though the basic functions are the same - rotate around Banjo, zoom in, zoom out - it's a lot smarter, most of the time avoiding the irritating habits of cameras where they can't decide where to position themselves.
Annoyingly and somehow inevitably , the few places where the camera really struggles to keep up with the action are the ones where you're at risk of losing a life if you make a wrong move.
One particularly irksome section is in the depths of Clanker's Cavern, where air is scarce -a friendly fish provides bubbles for you, but because there's a huge block at the centre of the deep pool you're in the camera often gets stuck behind it, making it impossible for you to find the vital oxygen. Another takes place over a sea of instantly-lethal lava, where just as you start to negotiate a twisting path the camera often decides to throw an eppy.
These glitches aside, the camera does probably the best job to date in any 3-D platformer. Useful tricks include a 'look' mode where you get to see the world through Banjo's goofy eyes, which shows off the impressive amount of attention put into every object in the game, and by holding down the R button you get a kind of floating camera, making it easier to judge jumps, so most of the game will be spent with the shoulder button welded down.
Each of the levels has had a lot of time and effort spent to make them challenging without being overly frustrating. There's nothing more annoying in a platform game than having to make a series of precise jumps to reach a certain area, only to have one slight mistake force you back to the start. Banjo-Kazooie does have a few sections where careful jumps are needed, but the game is fairly forgiving of mistakes, and thankfully if you do screw up it never takes too long to get back into position for a second try.
Banjo-Kazooie is also quite a funny game, as in funny ha-ha. Much of it is Childrens ITV-level stuff, with lots of discussion of Gruntilda's underpants and personal hygiene, but the characters themselves are more appealing than anyone was expecting. Banjo's a bit of a cipher, which is par for the course for a game hero be honest, Mario has no real personality at all, does he?
Yelling "Mama mia! Selfish, rude, lazy and hedonistic - she could almost be a real person! Even though the overall theme of the game is squarely aimed at kids, there's still the odd bit of good oP British Carry On-style comedy for older note that I didn't say 'more mature' players.
One scene has a dried-up palm tree complaining about the lack of water, prompting Kazooie to enquire after the condition of his nuts, and there's also a talking toilet called Loggo who could have come straight from the pages of Vizi. It's this sort of humour that keeps Banjo-Kazooie from sinking into the kind of sanitised Disneyesque world occupied by Mario, where not only do bad things never happen, but bad thoughts are banned too.
If Nintendo are Disney, which they would undoubtedly like to be, then Rare are Warner Bros - on the surface doing the same thing, but with just enough of an anarchic edge to keep them interesting. Nobody mention Space lam, or the analogy collapses It's a pity we didn't wait until we'd seen Banjo-Kazooie before we carried out last issue's updating of the Nindex scores. If we had, Mario 64 would have suffered rather more, since in comparison to Banjo-Kazooie it looks like Stephenson's Rocket beside a Eurostar.
It just goes to show what a difference two years can make. Mario 64 was the first game on the N64, and at the time people were absolutely frothing at the mouth to praise it as the greatest videogame ever written. Now, it looks positively barren and simplistic. Even though Banjo-Kazooie is the same type of game, it's a far more immersive experience, and it's not just because the graphics are better.
Mario's stark, angular landscapes made it obvious that you were playing a game, but Banjo-Kazooie spares no effort to convince you that you're exploring an actual world. A strange fantasy world, to be sure, but it's got an internal logic that was sometimes missing from Mario.
With Banjo-Kazooie so good, it makes you wonder what Rare plan to do to make their other cutesy adventure, Twelve Tales: Conker 64, an improvement. Based on what was on show at E3 see last issue , the style of play is very similar, but while Banjo and Kazooie overcame the preconceptions that were formed based on the character designs "A redneck bear? The hell? Conker still looks disturbingly twee.
And those eyes, those mad staring eyes Just how much long-term play Banjo-Kazooie will ultimately offer is debatable, if only because it's the sort of game that will be played intensively from the moment it's taken from the box until it's been cracked. Once all the puzzle pieces have been found, there's not much incentive to go through the game and find them all again unless you're trying to improve on your completion time.
Much of the game's challenge comes from trying to work out where all the items are and how best to reach them, but once you know, it's possible to clear out a whole world in a matter of minutes. In the short term, once you've opened up ust how much long-term play Banjo- Kazooie will ultimately offer is debatable, if only because it's the sort of game that will be played intensively from the moment it's taken from the box until it's been cracked.
Much of the. In the short term, once you've opened up a few levels there are several points that offer infinite life loops - go into the level, take the shortest route to an extra life, leave the level, re-enter the level ad infinitum. Since death comes fairly infrequently anyway once Banjo and Kazooie have got their full set of moves, the most common cause of the game over sequence is the inconvenient human need for sleep.
That shouldn't deter you from buying the game. Banjo-Kazooie is brilliant, plain and simple, and another example of why Nintendo have become so dependant on Rare -the company produces games that are every bit as good as Nintendo's own, if not better. And there's no higher, recommendation than that!
Around almost every corner there's something that simply floors me. For instance, in one level you enter a large water-filled room where a giant mechanical shark is anchored.
The thing easily takes up the entire screen and is really awesome-looking. In another level, you can fly all the way to the top of a huge snowman and then take a sled down his scarf.
The levels give me a feeling of great depth. This coupled with the instructiveness of the levels makes Banjo one to buy. I haven't played a game in a long time that offers this much gameplay. You have to use all of the moves you learn in order to truly complete each level. Experienced players may beat early levels in less than an hour each, but beginners will definitely take a lot longer.
With nine levels of modest size, the game is a formidable opponent. The graphics are easily the best on the system, and the music is a lot of fun.
The sound effects on the other hand are just damned annoying by the fourth level or so. Why the game is so sickeningly cute I don't know, but it's nonetheless the best game in the genre by far. Go on and buy it! What Rare has delivered here is solid-gold gameplay--better, even, than Mario The dual-character dynamic is ingenious, the fog-free graphics are flawless the N64's best , later stages are superbly challenging and the amount of things to do and secrets to discover is immense--almost daunting.
You'll spend a longtime lost in B-K's world if you want to perfect each level. But you'll spend time fighting the camera, too. B-K's graphics are truly beautiful and the game design is just exquisite.
The sense of enormous scale is incredible and the sheer number of available objectives within each level probably outdoes any other game out there even Mario. So is it the perfect game? There are two problems--one creative and one technical: 1 Banjo himself is a tough character to realty care about, and 2 Camera Al is frustratingly bad sometimes.
Simply put, Banjo-Kazooie is wonderful.
