About Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Kazooie is Rare’s classic 3D platformer starring a laid-back bear and the sharp-tongued bird who lives in his backpack. When the witch Gruntilda kidnaps Banjo’s little sister Tooty, the pair set off through Gruntilda’s lair to stop her stealing Tooty’s looks.
Along the way you’ll explore themed worlds, collect jigsaw pieces and musical notes to open new areas, and learn new moves from Bottles the mole. This version, remastered by 4J Studios, adds a sharper widescreen presentation and achievements, and finally gets the once-mythical Stop ‘N’ Swop feature working, unlocking extras across the series.
