Trivia
You can hold the R Button to make a sharp turn while flying or swimming. However, Bottles does not tell you this at any point in the game.

Goofs
In the "Winter" season of Click Clock Wood, Mumbo Jumbo leaves a note in his hut saying he's gone on vacation because he hates the cold. Yet, a few levels earlier in Freezee Peak (a snow world), Mumbo is seen occupying his hut to give Banjo a transformation.

Crazy credits
The credits are read off one at a time by different characters, each giving them odd job titles and nicknames such as "Deputy keyboard tapper Graham 'Snippet' Smith"

Banjo Kazooie provides hours of fun!

Banjo Kazooie is a very good plat-form game. Although not as good as Banjo Tooie, the sequel, this game is still good.

Graphics- Since this is an N64 game, the graphics are a bit dated. They're still colorful and fun looking, like some of the stages in Super Mario 64 and Donkey Kong 64.

Sound- The sound is really good, but the music easily gets stuck in your head, and may annoy some people. It doesn't annoy me.

Gameplay- The gameplay is very good, but some moves are very difficult to pull off, and there are tons of them. Sadly, you can't play as Mumbo like in Banjo Tooie.

I give Banjo Kazooie a 7 out of 10.
