Grabbed by the Ghoulies - Banjo and Rare Cameos & References

[Pikachewchew]

The nightmares as a kid...

[royeric5]

@thenatkidd wait wat? WAIT WHAT!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU'LL PAY FOR DIS U GHOULIES!

[royeric5]

Omg at 2:34 that same image of the guy with literally a circle body and red pants appears on a bears tv on banjo kazooie while he watches it too!

[JackIsASexyMf]

Sadly thus is the game that sunk rare

[videogameobsession]

Is the creature at 7:09 supposed to be a decedent of Kong? He's the the Left of Kazooie. They both look zombi-ized :P

I miss RARE from the Nintendo days. R.C. Pro-Am and Cobra Triangle were a lot of fun.

[TheNatkidd]

6:43. NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHY! WHY, DID THEY KILL THE SWORD FISH, FROM DONKEY KONG COUNTRY.

[lalolalo005]

2:36 the start of the best song in Grabbed by the Ghoulies

[Au0s]

Rare loves to reference to old games they made,

[Remi7lives]

All the fucking game is an easter egg.

[SleepingBeauty059]

My only problem with this game is that after an hour or so of playing it, I'd have the urge to play a Banjo game.

[Segaman19]

3:14 Not sure why, but that looks like a map of somewhere above the Eggs and Key.

[HyperSonic135]

0:08 CAMEO!!!

[STOPNSWOPguy]

As good as Downloading it off LIVE... I kinda Want the Case and Actual Disc....hmmmm

[HugoLuman]

This is probably the hardest game I ever played. Took a whole month to get past the final boss lol

[STOPNSWOPguy]

Never Played It Before....hmmmm Maybe I'll Buy this Off LIVE

[Rowlettefirematt101]

@STOPNSWOPguy me to

[Link4346]

I bet you jolly roger made the old seman wood stain

[CeletialDarkness]

funny how devil bottles is in this, but his feature in banjo-tooie was scraped, but yet still accessible through cheats.

[MisterLambs]

Now, With more references than the games reviews. Why didn't they make another BK game? Or Finish Dream.

[KingBlackCharger]

I BEATED THIS GAME 5-6 YEARS AGO!

[rokuterra]

@KingBlackCharger Wow, beated? Go back to kindergarden.

[KingBlackCharger]

@rokuterra Naw, I was in 3rd grade when i beat it. I'm in 9th grade now.

[rokuterra]

@KingBlackCharger I`m not talking about when you beat it, I`m saying that that "beated" is not a word.

[KingBlackCharger]

@rokuterra To let you know, I have the STRONGEST use of vocab in my school. I use SOME big words that some people in my school have probably never heard of. I know like probably 14 at most. Most I can't remember at the top of my head.

[rokuterra]

@KingBlackCharger All I`m saying is that beated would be the wrong word to use.

[Laffen831]

It´s weird that it is an anserw behind every easter egg?

[superpwn64]

I remember buying this from the store still in its box and wrapped in it's plastic. I open it to the sweet smell of a new manual and a new cd.I go home and play it and have the best time of my life. Good times...

[RaymanandRazorbeard]

Perfect Dark Zero also had in one of the DarkOPs maps(I only played the demo LOL) several advertisements for old Zx Spectrum classics as well

[aljfilms]

Call me crazy, but i never fully understood why so many people hated this game.I thought it was a pretty good game. Not Rare's best but still not a bad game.Great video!

[lalaken333]

I used to play this game when i was small :) This was my 2nd game EVER.

[TheSydnick]

@lalaken333 What was your first?

[egdeltur666]

They seemed to be awfully obsessed with their good games, BK and BT... I wonder why they wouldn't just knock THIS shit off and just make fucking Banjo-Threeie on Wii or whatever the fuck the next console is if that's happening yet.

[josesito65242]

Greatest video I have seen :D Have you seen a person or whatever it is beside the bars?

[bensdominos]

Great Video!

BTW, is it just me, or do those bats at 7:24 look alot like the bats in Mad Monster Mansion.

[Cubivore10]

GRA-A-BBED BY THE GHOOULIES.......TM

[coozman64]

lol jet pac is on dk64

[KHBAM]

Man, finding references in Rare games used to be a fun little side-quest-of-sorts. Now they've made it WAY too easy!

[cordell1999]

who is the sword fish?

[hfc2x]

@cordell1999 engarde from donkey kong country

[egdeltur666]

@cordell1999 from one of the DKC games.

[MegamanvolnutX]

i knew it rare killed banjo and kazooie for the 2nd time first in conker now ghoulies wtf rare you had the best n64 games then sell em and killem

[tyguy997]

i have this game and love it!

[FireWolfLovesAxel]

Kinda creepy in a cute way. The game seems to only serve as a "Oh! While you're at it...GO PLAY THIS OR LOOK IT UP ON YOUTUBE!" 8D

[ismashstuf]

I like these vids. You should do more similar ones.

[Elijahbabyluigifan]

They should've named this "A Ghoulies Easter" It would be cool if they made an easter egg hunt mode wouldn't it? It would be challenging....

[skullvic]

yo! I haven't any idea of this game XDD

the references are great XDD on the wall of trophy gallery are banjo-kazooie monster heads xDDDD great!

I think ill going to buy it. There're one in a second hand shop near my house XDD

adventure/rare company/ references of my favourites games

is perfect XDD thanks a lot, my friend

[whistlemasterX]

nooo... not enguarde :'(

[NitronicTM]

You forgot the picture of TipTup

[banjokazooierocks500]

sabre from sabrewolf is cameoed in halfire peaks in banjo tooie

[walecs2]

also, at 4:58 there's a music who reminds when Grunty leaves her castle in BK overture (I don't know if you keep the music from Ghoulies, never played it)

[walecs2]

0:55 Banjo-Tooie XBLA art box years before the game was released.

This game is something like a 'Banjo-Kazooie spin-off' o.O

[Thundaman08830]

holy shit the heads of the two look so scary man...

[DannyJamesSmith23]

2:19

they also added jetpac into donkey kong 64

if you got 15 banana medals, cranky would set you a challenge on jetpac to get a certain score. if you won, you got a rareware coin (i think)

[jckid9]

@DannyJamesSmith23 i wonder wut can u do wit a rare coin

[ChipmunkiousD]

3:16 the secret of sns!

[flyleaflives]

Dude I miss this game so much. :(

[kurkie07]

k that plaque that made that guy shit himself that was a yum-yum right?

[VenomBlade95]

During the plaque part, can someone tell me if I'm missing a cameo? I see Banjo and Kazoie but tht's it.

[THiNGYBOBinc]

7:06 Poor Conga...

[RiX20xx]

The hand that lights the candle is Grunty's hand or not?

[runescapemaster100]

in the intro u see banjo and kazzoie in the book

[ChampDinga]

enguarde is the only reference to donkey kong country 1, 2 and 3 i saw! I wonder why rare left that game... donkey kong country, its aan awsome game!

[LumPeyCusTerEd]

are there other characters on the trophy room form banjo or donkey kong

[LumPeyCusTerEd]

on the trophy room the only familier characters i saw were banjo kazooie and conga

[subata45]

5:44 striking resemblence of the monsters there to jinjos.

[geme765]

it was the best video game i've ever played!!i have to play it since 2005...:P

[TheSpliffSmoker]

thats pretty cool,havta play it someday...

[shadowrockz07]

the baron is a banjo fan :D

[Halogator56]

Grabbed by the Ghoulies was a pain to control.

[buckscash1]

engaurd from donkey kong country! he's the sword fish

[Trahwolf]

i said that already.sry!

[Trahwolf]

i saw the trophy room, and the old rare games in the gaming room. i also agree with Segaman19. I also thought the food dish said MINE.lol

[Segaman19]

Also, I don't recall "The Baron's Quarters" having a single Rare or Banjo Reference.

[Segaman19]

I certainly would praise rare for coming up with a brilliant game; too bad most game reviewers, NTSC, JAP or PAL regions, all game critics are snobs.

[FurySpark]

yes i totally agree with u

[Trahwolf]

HOLY SHIT DUDE! The only ones I noticed in the game before was the trophy room, the goldfish, and i thought the food dish said MINE. Wow you have a f' in good eye.

[mrsodenkirk]

The style of the game reminds me of Haunting Starring Polterguy, the trying to be more silly than scary, but still having some creepy moments.

I definitely want to rent this game/borrow it now.

[abrahamstudios]

wow dosent teh dust blowing off the rare book look like wind waker effects?

[darriond1997]

there are so many easter eggs in this game, you can't even call them easter eggs

[TrevDevil81]

but the barons pj's have banjo kazzoi and mumbo lol

[alexmtzZB]

Good Eye Man!

love this game i bought it off xbox live

good times

[cordell1999]

@alexmtzZB every one hates this game

[walecs2]

@cordell1999 Atually, I don't know anyone who hates Grabbed by the Ghoulies. And anyway, I'm sure it's less hated than Kinect Sports.

[xXxTictozo]

cameos in all places =P

[dbgt789]

rare is so good and perfect with cameos

[nofingerthumb]

can u get a rom of that

[nofingerthumb]

in pdz`s lvl plaza at the watchmakers house u can c pics of ultimate

[Dogolife]

Last comment if you look closely at the picture of banjo & kazooie it you can see mumbo and it looks like the "Legendary" Fungus Forest

[bubbadoo10]

on banjo kazooie nuts and bolts (bknb) theres a giant dumster filled to the brim with grabbed by the goolies and you can also grab them with kazzoies wand of magick (i dident spell it wrong) and do whatever you do with it and theres also thoes mystry eggs in there if you break them its some kind of robot thing on the same lvl its in a demo lvl too

[omegakid900]

whats magick jk here how to spell it magic just take out the k

[bubbadoo10]

magick is the old way to spell it and the new one means a magic trick while the old version is spelt magick as in real magick

[mariostobbs]

I was thinking I could find some of these references in this game but I already knew about these references.

[cocopuffer123]

the eggs and ice key are a hint for nuts and bolts when u get the items in the original banjo games from xla u get secret stuff in nuts and bolts

[LumPeyCusTerEd]

the heads i saw on the trophy walls were banjo kazooi and i think its conga the monkey

[magepure0016]

loli never realised half of the posters when i had this game or i was to young and couldnt remeber bango characters

[bubbadoo10]

and remeber how to spell banjos name XD

[ZoomingDakota]

I love the beginning

[Glitches0and0stuff]

in Dunfiddlin cottage garden, the bit where you see the worms for the first time, there is a Banjo-kazooie style beehive. there is a worm hidden in it.

[Glitches0and0stuff]

And in Dunfiddlin cottage, look at the pictures on the wall next to the firplace.

[dragonarcher89]

wats there? ( i havent played grabbed by the ghoulies)

[Glitches0and0stuff]

I can't remember, I don't have a game but I saw a let's play.

[dragonarcher89]

oh, just wondering

[FurySpark]

u need to play it. it's SOO fun

[Speee55]

I don't think i want Mr.Pant's Chocolate Treats...

[WiseYuri]

nice video, i didn' t know there was so many references.... What Mira Mare would have been, now i'm curious and i can' t find any informations on the net?

[WiseYuri]

Google searching for mira mare didn' t help, but why i didn't thinked of wikipedia, first? :P

[youserfive]

Rare put a referance to devil bottles because they where originally going to have him in Banjo Tooie but scrapped the idea in late development and never took him out of the game so that is why he is still accessable through gameshark.

[Segaman19]

I've played Ghoulies, and I don't recall those posters at the start. I certainly recall seeing THAT white-board.

[ALPHOSE22]

the only reference i noticed not mention is cooper sounds kike Tropy Thomas in Banjo and kazooie NaB and also when cooper get scared in the hallways it does the same sound as the horn in nuts and bolts

[soulbleed17]

i didnt notice that much becuase i would always break the shit XD

[ILovePanuchos]

Loool blinx and xbox live at 0:12!!

Is that the only conker reference??

[vicecity372]

What system is this game for

[sonikdude49]

xbox(not 360)

[imadude98]

xbox

[sammyqrules]

can u play the disc on the 360?

[SpiralMountain]

Yes, although I think you need to install an update first through Xbox Live.

[Meitnerium109]

Good, but you ought to highlight the specific part of the screen where the cameo is.

[pokemonfreaks735]

wow how come they to much banjo kazooie things in there

[InvaderDusk]

0:15 to 0:30

Really weird.... I got that 'song' stuck in my head.

[SeatBeltO7O19]

Not wierd you just got a song stuck in your head

[truesonicshadow]

If u look intently in the part where u see the mr pants treats u can see a can with mr pants face

[1guygames]

Is Ghoulies  a bad game or somthing?

[SpiralMountain]

It was mostly just forgotten and sold poorly. Some people get a kick out of it but I wouldn't recommend it to everyone.

[1dbad]

@SpiralMountain I loved it! XD I definitely got a kick out of it and always wished they'd do a sequel. Only thing, some of the latter levels were so hard it took me forever, and the ending of the game no matter how hard I tried I could never quite save everyone. xDDD;;;

[trimaican12]

@SpiralMountain I LOVE THIS GAME :) i beat it 4 times and yet I STILL PLAY IT TODAY! MUAHAHA i just wish they made a Grabbed by the ghoulies number 2 ._.

[SpyroTheDragon96]

@1guygames

no its not

[bigdogblues2008]

man those wall plaques are really the only cary part of the game(at least of the footage showed in the video)._.

[SpiralMountain]

It's not meant to be a scary game, really. Sure, there's ghouls, but a lot of it is more about the crazy humour.

[dragonarcher89]

yea, the plaques almost scared the crap out of me.

[StarmanPhantom]

Since a few people are saying that this game is a great game that no one bought, it kinda reminds me of PSYCHONAUTS, an awesome game that never sold well. *Whirr*

[PONJOnco]

Probably the Banjo & Kazooie games were there pride and joy?

[Goveynetcom]

a truly underrated game, but I hear many people pick it up now.

[jsallstar]

whts grabbed by the ghoulies??

[NotThisGuyAgain]

The best game you can get for the original Xbox

[VJoe10]

An unselling RareWare game.

[averagejustin]

Why didn't Ghoulies get a good review? It was a good game

[watkinzez]

I never noticed that staff photo in the Rare book before. Found the same image on the net a year back, but I can't find it now. David Wise looks REALLY young in it. :P

[1childish1]

The controversial blackboard on 3:11 in my opinion is what the game wants you to do in Banjo-Tooie, which is collect the ice key in Freezy Peak, get the secret eggs, and activate the secret level.

Also, it is spelled center not centre.

And, it is sort of a bit of subliminal messaging since Rare wants you to keep some popular games like Banjo-Kazooie in your mind, so you'll think they are great games and want to buy them.

Just think about that. :P

[SpiralMountain]

Centre is the European and Australian spelling and it is the CORRECT spelling. Don't tell me what to do you crazy American. :P

It's extremely unlikely that Rare would have kept an entire level in a game only unlockable via Stop 'n' Swop. The black board was mainly used to spark new discussion in Stop 'n' Swop and rile up the community; its purpose was not to show how the feature worked or what would actually be unlocked from it.

[darknight550]

great video

[mechanesthesia]

Yay!!! :) I'm so glad. I don't have an xbox, but always wanted to see what cameos they had here.

[conkerboy700]

I found a Conker's bad fur day edition cover. lol

[averagejustin]

5:47 what is Cooper doing in there taking a nap?

[jadenyuki1988]

i liked the swordfish reference form DK

[shakysyxx]

i love rare....and its cameos in games

[BanjoD453]

Awesome video. Thanks!

[SNJKaiJM]

Lol SnS reference, I still wonder what the secret level is...

[doctoroo1]

that music be grunty's house then!

[JDTomajko]

Awesome, I wasn't aware there was THAT many references.

This video is really urging me to buy this game right now. I was saving these MSP for B-T XBLA, but I guess I'll have to get more...

[sonicheroes4ever]

That was pretty awesome.

This game had some awesome music.

[jinjoandkazooie]

i have been waiting 2 years for a video like this THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!
