The Best & Worst Banjo-Kazooie Jiggies - gillythekid

Banjo-Kazooie is finally getting the recognition it deserves, so let's talk about some great AND not so great objectives in the game.

Thanks to The Completionist for helping me with footage:

1. The one that bounced in the Smash reveal for Banjo & Kazooie.

Some helpful tips, for the maze in King Sandybut's place if you clear the maze you can turn around and explore the maze without the timer to get the Witch Switch. For Mr. Vile, if you are having trouble with it, you can wait until you unlock the speed shoes in Gobie's Valley and come back to Mr. Vile and there are shoes in the back you can use.

*Regarding the first jiggy you get in the game...*


I forget where, but I remember seeing someone describe how clever the placement of everything was. You can't see the jiggy when you walk in. So, you're likely to try to climb the slippery path first, as it's likely the first you'll see, only to see that you can't climb it. So, when you turn around, you'll see the entrance to Mumbo's Mountain. You'll be told you have to find a jiggy before you can enter, so when you walk out of the Mumbo's Mountain lobby, you'll see it clearly, glowing against the dark background, clear as day. It's all very cleverly set up.


As for bad jiggies, I'm surprised you didn't mention the jiggy at the top of Ticker's Tower in Mumbo's Mountain. It's like a mini Rusty Bucket Engine Room type of deal. The controls get worse here, because you have to be a termite to cross this terrain, which means you don't have your double jump. And this gets even worse with all the awkwardly-sloped platforms you have to jump on, in conjunction with the placement of the camera. If the camera just stayed behind you like normal, this would be a cakewalk. But instead, it's placed in such a way that wrecks your depth perception.

Also, lest anyone forget, *this is the first level.*

An interesting concept. You made it more intriguing than it has any right to be

Will there ever be a best and worst stars in Super Mario 64 video?

Clanker: What is my purpose?
Gruntilda: You eat trash
Clanker: *looks side to side* Oh My God!!
Gruntilda: welcome to the monster mash.

I'd like to see Gilly review Tooie. I've heard him talk about how he thinks the game is a hot mess, and I'd like to know why.

[Popp]

Gilly: It’s like the 2nd video I ever made....Don’t watch it.

Me: You can’t tell me what to do.

That engine room was one of the only areas in the entire game to apply "If you mess up anywhere even slightly at all? Instant death!". Definitely the most difficult and dangerous part of the game. Despite it though, Rusty Bucket Bay, Mad Monster Mansion and Click Clock Wood are all my favorite levels in the game.

I've been getting to writing down the colours of the Tiptup choir before doing the challenge, or rather abbreviating the colours. Makes things a heck of a lot easier, especially during Grunty's Furnace Fun.

😂😂😂 dude I knew Mr. Vile was gonna be on here. That shit is a pain

[singingstranger]

I just love your humor and scripting and editing, they all come together to make yours a channel I know I can come to for a fun time!

[TheLonelyGoomba]

Why does no one ever pick up the speed shoes in the Mr Vile challenge? This challenge is infamous but you're intended to do the final challenge with the shoes. Thus making the challenge really quite easy.

In banjos case in terms of bad levels its all the industrial levels
Clankers cavern in kazooie, it grinds my gears.
Rusty bucket bay in kazooie, it grinds my gears.
And oh grunty industries in banjo tooie, it GRINDS MY GEARS.

For the turtles memory game I had a piece of scratch paper and just wrote down the first letter of each colored turtle and for the blue and light blue ones I used B as normal blue and L for light blue.

[orangejuiceearrape]

How could raising Clanker be your 2nd introduction to anxiety if it is three levels earlier than Gobi's Valley?

[bennetmcgravey-vanlauwe]

For me the turtle song one was pretty easy after I realized I could write the first letter of each color in the pattern the game wanted me to. Sure the 2 different blue colors slipped me up but I just labeled them db for dark blue and on for light blue.

Oh man, you got me. That one jiggy behind those propellers of that ship in Rusty bucket bay. I always save that for last. That place was worse than tedious Click Clock Wood.

[jvoz]

You hit the nail right on the head with this list! Do Banjo Tooie next!
