[TAS] N64 Banjo-Kazooie '100%' by Hyperresonance in 1:59:51.92

TAS originally published on 2016-11-14

Banjo-Kazooie stars the bear-bird team of Banjo and Kazooie, who are searching for Jiggies, or Jigsaw puzzle pieces, to unlock doors and save Banjo's sister from a rhyming witch. Even though Banjo's name is first, Kazooie ends up doing most of the heavy lifting as new skills are developed.

This is an improvement of 24:40.71 over the previous movie. This was possible with overwhelming route changes (and much better route planning ahead), a myriad of new glitches and tricks, and much more optimized movement. This movie loses some time to loading zones on BizHawk vs Mupen (about 2 minutes), so the final time is not quite indicative of how good the run is. With console like loading zones, this would be a 1:57.

Note: There are encodes of higher resolution in the discussion thread.

No wonder my mother demanded I play this game with the sound off.

[Dr_Mel]

The noises coming out of this speedrun were somehow even more than I anticipated

[fabuloussuperstar]

Dang, I can't believe the TAS is slower than the current WR. Just goes to show how far we've come!

[pgj]

37:22 I love it when TASes just show off.

[FlamezOfGamez]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how hilarious all the death warps in this game are?

[vaddaorca]

Outstanding!
And i think the game aged very well. Music, graphics, atmospheare, gameplay, all is still fantastic and fun.

[Tyrnn]

I just noticed how "I Am Disappoint" they look when you're at 1 health.

[codmott]

Even to this day I'm still impressed with the draw distance and Rich textures of this game

[enchilordo]

15:12 I love how in the middle of all these quick movements and maneuvers, Banjo breaks his back so hard it freezes up the game

Ah yes, that one time when Kazooie single handedly saved the world.

Seriously, aside from the beginning and for transformations, all Banjo did was sit back and let Kazooie do all the work.

[kirbytooie]

25:55 Both Banjo and Jinjo said "Whee!" :)

[Rutawind]

This video is basically "ROON!" for 2 straight hours.

1:07:46 I had no idea you could bypass the "back-to-start" sequence when you lose a life and hit a Grunty Switch at the same time! It's funny when it causes the music to stop playing because of the Player Miss tune, too.

[snesmaniac]

One of my favorite games of all time. Rareware at it's best.

[shesthemanful]

That dolphin took that anchor like a champ

[hornetscout]

Freezeezy Peak is in the running for one of my favorite levels in any game. The music, the atmosphere, and charm is unmatched when all combined

[bmak]

hahaha look at him troll the red gator at 42:52 . I like your style

[Jumpyluff]

Easily one of the best TASes of the year. Great job again, Brad.
