June 17, 1997 - Quite possibly Nintendo's most secretive game, Banjo-Kazooie has been shrouded in mystery ever since rumors surfaced of its existence as "project: Dream" sometime ago. Until now, all that was known about Rare's title was its new name, Banjo-Kazooie, and that it would rival Super Mario 64 in more ways than one.

Sources close to Nintendo have finally leaked a bit of information about the two main characters and the gameplay, itself. Banjo-Kazooie stands for Banjo and Kazooie, two different characters who play as a team. Banjo is a bear and Kazooie is a small bird that rides in Banjo's back-pack. Strange? You bet. But with multiple abilities per character -- like swimming, flying and what have you, nobody's complaining.

The game takes place in a 3D world very similar to Super Mario 64. Where the game differs from the fat Italian plumber's, however, is in its enhanced gameplay and country western setting. Banjo and Kazooie travel through the game collecting musical notes and golden puzzle pieces. The 3D worlds are much bigger than that of Super Mario 64, all but begging players to explore, explore, and explore some more.

With beautiful, rich textures that eclipse Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie could be the game that finally does away with the "Nintendo 64" look. Rare has been working hard on this title and Nintendo is backing it with all of its power.

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

[JoeMudd123]

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

[AbbyMireene]

@kaesefilm I'm halfway sure the music in Clanker's Cavern is the same tune in Cranky Kong's Lab.

[RazorRed93]

that music in the end is from fungi forest isn't it??

[305bryan1209]

This looks like it could have been banjo threeie

[Dogispro]

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

[StarFoxAutobot]

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

[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.

[MountApple]

Whoa they started flying without a flying pad

[MisterLambs]

Woah, Clanker has skin?

[Pintassilgo12]
