Banjo-Kazooie lives up to Rare's high standards. The graphics are awesome. The sound is great. The levels are huge. The challenges are not too hard and not too easy. And what could be better than playing as a hill-billy bear and loud-mouthed bird on a quest to save Banjo's sister, Tootie, from an evil witch, Gruntilda, with help from a witch-doctor named Mumbo Jumbo, a near-sighted mole named Bottles, and the witch's sister, Brentilda, who has a load of gossip on the ugly hag.
Too much to swallow?
Well there's more, try 9 levels, each with 10 Jiggys, 100 notes, and 5 Jinjos, and a HUGE castle that connects all of the levels and has 10 Jiggys of it's own. Jiggys can be used to open up new levels, notes open up more parts of the witch's castle, and Jinjos, well I'll let you find out for yourself.
All this and a total of 24 moves that Banjo and Kazooie can do, not including the differant animals that Mumbo Jumbo turns them into.
