I appreciate seeing these comments. I felt like I was the only person online who thought Tooie was absolutely incredible. The amount of content and variety they packed into an N64 game is insane.

[devaunbeats]

I always preferred Tooie. When I found out people thought it wasn't as good a few years ago, I was baffled. I mean, I LOVE both but when I played Tooie far more than I did Kazooie

[TwooGiz]

Banjo Tooie was always my favorite. The worlds felt more distinct and the power ups built off the first game.

[JojovonKoopa]

Honestly, Banjo Tooie might be one of my favorite video game of all time. If there's one thing I love in videogames, it's time/route optimazation. And Banjo Tooie is just one giant puzzle box with what feels like hundreds of solutions to tackle. For example, everytime I replay it, I transport the batteries in Grunty Industries in a slightly different way than last time. Coming up with new ways to shorten runtimes and combining missions in the most efficient way, especially while playing the two characters seperated, all of that while constantly keeping track of what's left to do...I can't describe how much I love that feeling.

In the original N64 version of this game, since Stop n Swop didn't work, you could get the mystery eggs and the ice key natively in Banjo Tooie. I've never played the Xbox versions of the games but I definitely remember getting Dragon Kazooie so you don't have to do Stop n Swop for that.

Part of what makes Banjo Tooie a 10/10 masterpiece for me is the jab at Samus having to relearn all of her abilities in each and every game. This is in stark contrast to Banjo Tooie retaining every basic move from Kazooie in order to expand on that further with Jamjars' advanced techniques. The story is also better than Kazooie's because the characters have much stronger motivations, all while retaining continuity from the previous game.

I've always preferred this one over Kazooie. The story was a lot more interesting- as Gruntilda was made more of a threat this time around plotting revenge-rather than looks. I think backtracking is a minor flaw this game has. Because despite how there was of it. I still had a lot of fun combing the massive world's. If you find kazooie better. Then that's ok. But in my opinion Tooie tops it.

[ryanrichard]

It warms my heart to see fans still care for banjo Kazooie and bringing him to the modern day 😊

[nb_nic]

I'd love to see you and Josh Jepson talk about this series together. I don't think there's any duo on the internet that loves this series as much as you two

[lincolnprestes]

It is the best of the two in my opinion. I dont know why is so underrated. You feel like the levels are real worlds and is a sequel with so much attention to details. It is like we are still in Banjo-Kazooie but just crossed that cave in Spiral Mountain

[danamaniac]

I had the opposite experience with the Banjo games, I grew up with Banjo Tooie and didn't play Banjo Kazooie till years later and didn't like it as much for being much simpler and more basic in world design

[Rhidalgo]

This game and Donkey Kong 64 have the most impressive lighting I've seen on the Nintendo 64. It was the ray tracing of its time.

[rolld]

RIP Bear jokes. Though some may have found them un-BEAR-able, they were always my favorite.

[Thirteen]

Together with Kazooie, this is one of my favourite games of all time. I've been waiting YEARS for you to cover this incredible gamie again!

[Marcusml]

This was always my favourite of the two. I remember having a lot of fun with the maps being bigger and there being so many features and mini-games. Also, the interconnected maps and the weird hub-world blew my mind back then. It felt absolutely magical.

[snausages]

In the later levels you find yourself walking around for hours unable to get any jiggies because you have to find some other entrance from another level or you need an ability from a future level.

It’s brilliant how they tied everything together, but it’s really confusing.

[RonnieBarzel]

“…came out only a year and a half after BK”

Even more impressive: Rare even turned out Donkey Kong 64 in that time.

[victoriousf.i.g.]

Personally, I always thought tooie was superior in every way. Better bosses, Kazooie as a dragon, neat multiplayer elements. It was what a sequel should be: more of the same with bigger, more interesting features.

[matthewLkidder]

The ice key was just straight up in the N64 version, as were the other egg bonuses.

[Jinanwoys]

Your original Banjo-Tooie video was the first video of your's that I saw. Been watching ever since. Still love this game
