Banjo Kazooie Beta Video [E3 1997?] N64

[305bryan1209]

This looks like it could have been banjo threeie

[MountApple]

Whoa they started flying without a flying pad

[MisterLambs]

Woah, Clanker has skin?

[Pintassilgo12]

Mumbo was a fucking giant.

[CheetosForBreakfast]

thank god they toned down the "egg chime" thingy

[MrSUPERMARIOBROS10]

If Someon Knows Where to dawnload it please tell me

[KShade93]

The notes and eggs look creepy just standing still like that

[Kortez1496]

You could fly anywhere in this version?? O:

[Aussie27Legend]

Whoa, Clanker looks like shit lol.

Aww man, looks like you could fly anywhere you wanted... that would be handy as hell :)

[Banjokazooiegurl]

@Aussie27Legend Clanker was alive!

[wiikid41]

the last song that was played in that beta that song would be put in donkey kong 64 and the song from treasure trove cove that song got discarded and the egg sound got descarded as well when they were cleaning up the beta even mumbos original house

[AndrewHaddock]

Treasure Trove Cove starting looks waay better, Better dock and stuff. But those beehives are fucking huge!

[vidgamerch]

omg clankers cavern music sounds like fungi forest from dk 64 coicidence idk lol

[xThExJacKx]

@vidgamerch thats cuz it is

[sync380]

Man the early stuff and rare's trailers do NOT do this game justice at all.

[TheMarioXaveir]

If these beta catridges still exist somewhere. Then Im going to risk what I can to find them.

[baahhhFATALITY11]

Oh no...that egg pick-up theme certainly is not ANNOYING.  XD

[MrBlRD]

You guys know so much about this game.

When I was a kid, I didn't pay much attension to what Stop and Swop was.

And I still don't know what it completely is, really.

[SteffersFavourites]

Beta mumbo looks nightmarish!

[WakerOfTheWinds93]

Those beehives were fucking huge

[seburbina182]

DK 64 lol

[JoeMudd123]

I like the original Treasure Trove Cove music, but it doesn't suit that level at all.

[lilprogamer]

@JoeMudd123 It fits more to a rain forest level.

[Muirselgas]

@JoeMudd123 back then it was called hammerhead beach

[StarFoxAutobot]

@JoeMudd123 Yeah, it sounds more like a jungle stage.

[conkerCGH]

its just me or does mumbo have red eyes??

[SnidesHQ]

I think the egg noise sounds awesome in this footage. Obviously, notes and other objects weren't counted I assume which may have made the game easier. As I said for the Beta Super Mario 64 footage, The beta looks much better than the finished ame!

[PsychoKrazyTime]

@SnidesHQ No it doesn't.

[MarioKoopa6490]

At 1:13 it seems Kazooie is flying in WATER? Can somebody prove this??

[iWATCHITT]

@MarioKoopa6490

Kazooie is swimming O_o

[MrWarioman64]

@MarioKoopa6490 It is an amazing thing called "swimming". It is in the finished game too.  :P

[cruelnini]

if you use a cheat your fly in anywhere the cheats are codes of creartors put in the game

[BxLxUxExxAxNxGxExL5]

i probably would have taken the game and thrown it out the window due to listening to the egg pick-up sounds *DUDANANAY!*

[JESUSJUNTSON]

glad they changed music

[kaesefilm]

the music in clankers cavern.. did they use it on donkey kong 64? reminds me of it.

[edgefanforlife14]

@kaesefilm yeah 

[saurfan]

@kaesefilm yes it is very rumored to almost/might/is confirmed to be fungi forest. but was scrapped from banjo kazooie and i guess the elements were put in donkey kong 64 (and people say clankers cavern is what replaced fungi forest hens that shark and overall familiar layout we see there)

[mpdkrm]

@kaesefilm Clankers Cavern was supposed to be a level in BK, but it was scrapped and clankers cavern is whats left. They eventually completely re-made it in DK64.

[xThExJacKx]

@mpdkrm i think u mean that fungus forest was going to be a level in BK but the developers (rare) didn't finish it and it was scrapped and put in DK64 under the name fungi forest. If you play BK you'll actually see that clanker's cavern is still a world but clanker isn't a shark he's a mechanical garbage grinder.

[mpdkrm]

@xThExJacKx Ya I know clanker's cavern is still a world, I've made a typo. I meant that Fungus Forest was going to be a level in BK.

[ArturRGT]

@kaesefilm well, it is kind of. fungus forest was supposed to be on banjo kazooie, but then it was transfered to dk64, and that is the origin of clankers cavern.

[Dogispro]

@kaesefilm Correct! It's the Fungi Forest level!

[IHugShortPeople]

I like most of the changes, but I like the Mumbo in the beta video better and I like the idea of flying without a flight pad. Also kinda wish Clanker had been a real whale instead of mechanical.

[HyugaStone87]

Is it me, or is mumbo alot bigger?

[cdngritzen]

i would LOVE to see this version of Clanker's Cavern!

[banjokazooierocks500]

clankers cavern was probaly fungus forest because the entrance lead to fungus forest

[BronzeNights]

they used the last track for DK 64 fungi forest.

[XxJOEYMANxX42]

this looks extremely inaccurate, but still interesting.

[harryzeldafan14]

Wow...so many differences:

-egg sound

-pick up animation

-music in Treasure Trove Cove

-were those Honey hives?

-kazooie was bigger

-you could fly without a flight pad

-dk 64 music in clanker's cavern

-the flight pad

WTF! I'm so glad they made these changes!

[squidzrule]

@harryzeldafan14 and clanker in the vid he was meat

[ocarinag33k]

anyone notice/hear DONKEYKONG 64 music at 1:09?

[Ruttie2]

The egg sounds like a bad

streaming looney tunes

video... And what's that tune

at 0:49? It's the real mumbo's

mountain tune which hasn't been

changed in the mountain itself!

[Renann64]

The beta one looks much better than the final version...

[TheNekorobin]

that egg sound was terrible!!!!

[NitronicTM]

The music they played in clankers cavern was from fungi forest

[LuigiFan1996]

@NitronicTM that's because it WAS Fungi Forest.

[AGuyAndAGun]

Question, did DK64 or BK64 come first?

[sharpmanexe]

@AGuyAndAGun DK64.. I think

[baahhhFATALITY11]

AWWWWW that egg pickup sound is ANNOYING!!!! LOL!!!

[smasher32]

clanker's cavern had DK64 music in the beta?

[mattafields]

how can i play this

[billybot30]

@mattafields its beta genius. its probably within the rare vault.

[luvcookies1]

i dont like Treasure Trove Coves song...it sounds weird...

[MegaSmashman]

mumbo looks a little werid in the beta

[fett753]

the fungus forest was used on one of rares othere games

donkey kong 64

[PrimeBlue]

Grant Kirkhope uploaded the unused "Treasure Trove Cove" composition on his official website. Just add "beta.html" to the homepage URL.

[hybriddragoness]

I wish they showed more of clanker as a live animal O_o just seeing the teeth is weird. Oh well. Still looks cool as a beta trailer.

[sonicfeet]

I'd like to inform that an MP3 of the beta Treasure Trove Cove song is on Grant Kirkhope's website (the address is just grantkirkhope period com).

[Stogryn]

@sonicfeet

Sounded pretty cool.

[NyuuTwo]

1:09

Clanker was probably changed into a metal version since him being chained up, i't wouldv'e influenced animal abuse on the players...

[Dreamerman509]

Sooo...that was what E3 was like back then? Interesting...

[Predator3400]

WTF...fungus forest at the end? EPIC

[Digitalsp33r]

The hives are massive!

[auzzykanauzzy]

looks like a mod

[theultimatekoopa2]

I think the music in this has parts that were later re-used.

For example The first part up to about 0:47 sounds slightly similar to the 2nd half of Jungle Japes, and the short marimba melody from about 0:47 - 0:50 can be heard in the very first area of DK64 (DK's Treehouse). And obviously the part at the end is Fungus (Fungi) Forest.

[TheEpicGamehero]

I hear Outdoorsy Termite Hill music after 0:49. ;)

[instinctkiller237]

the theme they use when banjo is swimming is from donkey kong 64 not from banjo kazooie

[Zeldafreak007]

If you watch the Giant's Lair video it has the Fungus Forest. So what I think is there was Giants Lair, Fungus Forest, Clankers Cavern were all merged in one level.

[MrKregan]

i would have liked that beta music for Treasure Trove Cove better than the final version...it sounds more atmospheric.

of course i haven't heard the whole thing, so i have no idea why Chris Stamper told Grant Kirkhope to change it.

[Kizuii]

Notice the Music at the end is exactly the same as parts of the Music in DK64's Fungi Forest. I guess they probably changed Clanker from a real Shark (even thou he has a blow hole lol) to a robot because some people would instantly shout "ANIMAL CRUELTY!!!"

[Popnetic]

The music is Nice :D

[SergeantLuke]

So, Kazooie could just fly aimlessly whenever she wanted? That'd have been cool.

The egg sound effect, however, would have not.

[iPushRedButtons]

Omagawd. Was that Clanker at the end? O_O Probably looked much scarier like a real shark. Same for Mumbo. Red eyes >:O

[XxGonixXFAN]

Wow Clankers a real shark! :D

[Zeldafreak007]

Beta is always Better.

[SilverEspeon26]

Listen to the ocean sound in the beginning. It shorts out a little.

[Simondadu]

Holy CR*P!

[GoWeegee]

That egg pickup sound....good god that was terrible.

[ausgamer529]

my god i would have loved to just fly with out a pad

[KrazyKaz12]

@ausgamer529 Me too. And I didn't see any feather number on the screen. I wonder if that means you don't need feathers to fly? That would be awesome, to fly forever without needing more.

[Lugmillord]

I think the music at the end was from Fungi Forest o.O

[Laykoz7]

Jesus Christ! if the egg pickup sounded so, then I do not even want to imagine how it sounded the jiggy pickup!

[Segador128]

The end of the video had DK64 music

[Palmerifics]

It's hard to see in this quality but around 1:10 in you can see Clanker's tooth is cracked, that must have been the original thing that indicates you that it's breakable.

[SleepwalkerGM]

ZOMG dk64 music! thats an interesting choice

[Palmerifics]

@SleepwalkerGM That's because Fungi Forest was originally a level in Banjo-Kazooie; Fungus Forest.

[ECL28E]

I love Rareware's music!

[Jettix777]

I think that end piece was something they reused in Donkey Kong 64, it sounds like Fungi Forest.

Wow, very cool video though.

[CaramelmanDS]

wow i had this video tape, cause i'm german. and i remember me watching this banjo part over and over again.

[aionboing]

wow, I'm certainly glad they changed the sound for the egg pickup

[UrSkulled]

It's all beta.

[Starwind18020]

Wow, the musical notes don't even move like they do in the finished game.

[berbobloo]

fuck you

[whistlemasterX]

lol... very cool vid.

[thenextganon]

this is either beta or a really long time's worth of hacking lol

[samuelnieto937]

I wish Rare release this banjo kazooie game. But's it's for Xbox 360 and the game be called Banjo Kazooie Remake or Director's Cut. What you think?

[thenextganon]

hmmm id prefer banjo tooie, ive never actually PLAYED kazooie, but ive seen just about the entire game of it via Let's Play... and i only own nintendo crap so yes i do wish they would release it too and dk64 along with it it was mostly made by rare too and is a MASTERPIECE in music and gameplay, good thing i have the dk64 catridge and my old n64 :) and i STILL love the music on it

[dylanwelshproduction]

@samuelnieto937

i think, that allready exists. on XBLA

[CmdrFoxDavion]

Wow after all these years this is the first time I see all the Beta and E3 footage. Back in those days you could only really get your info from Magazines. I don't think they even video documented E3 footage publicly until 2000. But sure is evident they recorded it before 2000. :-P

[devonjames10]

There's a stage called "Mount Fire Eyes", and the Funji Forest theme played there, too.

[CreativeAndCompetiti]

This game is scary I mean at the beginning with the big houses with the honey XD

[CelicetheGreat]

Mumbo's level music sounds really different... around 0:52, when Banjo enters.

[Dpuff2]

My god that egg pickup sound would have been annoying.

[Toccaif331]

fungi forest music!

[zeldamaster52]

mumbo looked extra weird in this

[ThinksWithPortals]

flying whenever you want = epic win

then again it's like using hax

[pescadojack]

@ThinksWithPortals By using hacks, you can view testing tools the creators used. The flying anywhere you want was a testing tool!

[TheaterODaRediculous]

Wasn't Clanker's Cavern originally this mushroom filled forest area called Fungus Forest and wasn't Clanker originally a whale who resided in the lake part of the area? Also, wasn't the picture going to be where the Rusty Bucket Bay picture was, at the end of that flooded corridor where there's a steel grate keeping you from entering? I really wish Rare would've kept BOTH Clanker's Cavern and Fungus Forest! That would've been so awesome!!!

[Bowserslave]

@theater

technically they kept fungus forest but put it in DK64

[TheaterODaRediculous]

Yeah, I know, but that would've still been SOOOO COOOOLLL!!! Having 2 Clankers!!!!

[TheaterODaRediculous]

Also, I know it was put into DK64. It was my all time FAVORITE level! It was even better than the Frantic Factory level! It's just that it would've been in BOTH games. But that wouldn't have been possible, rules, blah blah blah, ALL THOSE STUPID RULES!!!

[Bowserslave]

@theater

and time constrictions

[TheaterODaRediculous]

BTW Bowserslave, since you seem like a nice guy, and you KNOW what karma says about that, whenever I see a comment of yours ( But I won't spend like an hour looking for your comments), I'll "thumbs up" that comment! Don't think of it personally, I just like making people's lives better. Lemmy, out!

[Bowserslave]

@theater

hey thanks thats real nice of u

i might as well do the same for u and like u said i wont go looking around for every single 1 of ure comments

[BrettDunbar]

Too bad karma is bullshit.

[TheaterODaRediculous]

Yeah, I kinda figured that out, knowing how I have EXTREMELY bad luck, but hey! It's worth a try!

[Ketorulz]

Fungi Forest music in Clanker's Cavern! lol

[RemixRampage]

1:08 is from dk64

[Addictedskull9267]

hey awesome :D how do you get this version ??

[Zelos302]

the music sounds awfully alot like donkey kong 64, at least the song at the end

[Ruttie2]

That music was from dk 64, only long ago it was ment for banjo kazooie, but the level was geedited, and the song was changed, the song of the level was then reused for donkey kong 64.

[Bowserslave]

0:46

i also noticed kazooie sounds a little different almost like dragon kazzoie

[HAYDS510]

wow good thing they didn't use that music...almost makes the game seem tacky. when you think bout it the music in the levels of banjo kazooie (the actual finished product) transformed the whole thing.. i loved it when i was a kid

[Ruttie2]

The song of mumbo's mountain is different! It looks so.. So.. Weird.. :S

[Renann64]

This looks like much better than the final version... I want to hear all the music of treasure trove cove...

[Bowserslave]

woah u couldve flown at anytime without a fly pad

y drop that?

wouldve saved ALOT of time on CCW

[Outside998]

They just could used a debug feature and it was never planed to be in the game. But you're right, it would save alot of time.

[gamephreak5]

wow, the beta made Clanker look like a normal non-mechanical shark.

[dozzaskebab]

HAHA yea, lmao @ Clanker

[puppetking82]

I like the beta music and the finished game music.

[lemurboy12]

This is so much different, it's actually kind of creepy.

[dozzaskebab]

Yea i reckon hey!, looked like some creepy shite

[Guitarist500]

I really wanna hear the rest of these songs...

[Haiden1998]

the swimming bit sounds like a copy from a piece of music from dk 64 O.o

[sayhellorosco]

this was 2 years before dk64

[Bdizz2012]

Yeah, good hearing. Fungi Forest was originally in this game, but was moved to DK64.

[LugiaTheGreatBeast]

it is just me or mumbo is dam huge in this one game and in the second hes almost as tall as banjo? O_o

[Linkk22]

Well, if he can transform a bear into a bee, why he woudn't change his size?

[LugiaTheGreatBeast]

i see... o.o

[Nemesis986]

im glad they changed what they did

[Pikman01]

The Treasure Trove Cove Beta music sounds MUCH better than the released version.

[puppetking82]

I like them both.

[zigilist]

I'd have to disagree there. Sorry.

[Guitarist500]

I admit it's good but noway it's better.

[megaboy14]

thats amazing!!

[009VCT]

O.O

Exelent Video

[Pikman01]

1:15 Clanker's Cavern is Fungi Forest!?

[Roykidsego]

Yep.

[warcherubio]

thank god it didnt make that sound every time you pick up an egg in the actualy levels

[zigilist]

Agreed. Dodged a bullet there!

[JSman100]

0_0! BETA version of Banjo Kazooie! I recall my comment I post on my former account! I think somebody needs to create a BETA version of BK. SM64 has it's own hack, somebody try BK's BETA version hack.

[Gold753]

Fungi Forest at 1:09!

[DrTranReincarnated]

That music sounded like the music in Conker in the cavemen area.

[EddieVonNewYork]

One of my favorite games ever. N64, i will never forget you.

[circa528]

this game rocks!!!

[ArcadeLegendKiller]

Awesome game!

[BRADizKING]

Wtf?

[DuckDodgers120]

1:09-1:17 sounds like the theme for DK64's Fungi Forest in the daytme.

[kailmanning]

dude it is!

[Mysteryracerdude]

I was just gonna comment the same thing.

[Kizuii]

Yeah, originally they had planned a level for Banjo-Kazooie called "Fungus Forest" wich many believe featured the beta version of "Clanker the Whale" and was originally intended to be somewhere around the Click Clock Woods Jigsaw, since the actual Click Clock Woods are so far away from its Jigsaw and the Trees in the area are covered with moos and fungus. But the level was later removed and according to the rumor, it's first part was used for Clankers Cavern while its music went into DK64 ^^

[Pilpup]

N64DD flopped but still cool

[MEGAGUY21]

whoa munbo is huge!!

once more he seem to be a bit on the mean side.

banjo wake him up then he turn around and turn banjo in to an ant! lol

[BKMasterxD]

mumbo's house is actually better

[mariokev]

Rare keeps stuff to them self's :(

[TheAbominableRedhead]

0:28 Not needing Flight Pads to fly = best thing ever.

DAMMIT WHY DIDN'T THEY LEAVE THAT IN D:

[sonicfeet]

Because then, the game would be too easy.

[TheAbominableRedhead]

Oh, I know that. It was more like a "what if?" thing.
