'''''Banjo-Kazooie''''' is a port of the [[Banjo-Kazooie|game of the same name]] for the [[Xbox 360]] as part of the Xbox Live Arcade. It was published by [[Microsoft]] in 2008 and made several minor changes to both the graphics and gameplay, as well as adding some extra content through [[Stop 'n' Swop]]. This version would later be included in ''[[Rare Replay]]'' and Xbox Cloud Gaming (Project xCloud) service.
'''Banjo-Kazooie''' was ported to the [[Xbox Live Arcade]] on December 3rd, 2008. The game is essentially identical to its [[N64]]-based original, with some minor differences, like the obvious change of controls and the existence of an online leaderboard, in which the state of completion of the game and the needed amount of time are recorded. The graphics are also slightly improved. The original graphics of the N64 remain, but the textures are now high resolution. The only major changing in the graphics is the icon of Banjo and Kazooie next to the healthbar. [[Notes]], once collected, don't appear again, if one exits the level and reenters it or loses a life. Another obvious change is the removal of Nintendo and Rareware references, to be replaced with Microsoft and Rare Ltd. The dialogue text uses a different font, which happens to be the same initial font used in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]].


==Changes==
== Stop 'n' Swop ==
===New Features===
There are seven [[Stop 'n' Swop]] items through out the game. The Pink Mystery Egg is in the [[Treasure Trove Cove]] cave inside sharkfood island. The Ice Key is in [[Wozza|Wozza's]] cave in [[Freezeezy Peak]]. The Blue Mystery Egg is in the tomb in [[Gobi's Valley]]. The Green Mystery Egg is in [[Loggo|Loggo the Toilet]] and the Cyan Mystery Egg is in the wine barrels in [[Mad Monster Mansion|Mad Monester Mansion]]. The Red Mystery Egg is in [[Rusty Bucket Bay]] on the Captain's Bed in the Captain's Quarters. The Yellow Mystery Egg is in [[Click Clock Wood]] when it's winter in [[Nabnut|Nabnut's]] [[Nabnut's House|house]].
*The game now has an online leaderboard, taking advantage of Xbox Live.
*Stop 'n' Swop, a feature originally scrapped in the original game, is now fully functional and works with both the [[Banjo-Tooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade port of ''Banjo-Tooie'']] and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''.


===Gameplay===
==Screenshots==
* As with later games, [[Musical Note]]s stay collected even after leaving a world or losing a life.
<gallery>
* Due to the more powerful hardware, most Instances of framerate drops have been removed.

===Presentation===
==Trivia==
*All Changes made in the Japanese and European versions are standardized here.
*The new programming of the notes actually lead to a bug in the Arcade version. If one played the secret Bottles-Puzzles '''before''' the notes shown in the puzzle are collected, and the computer controlled Banjo collects them (like in the puzzle showing a room from [[Mad Monster Mansion]]) the notes stay collected and can not be found by the player himself. A patch released shortly after the release of the game solves this problem.
*The game is compatible with can run in HD, unlike the original which only ran in standard definition.
*Some of the Nintendo references have been taken out of the game. Some references are on the opening and main menu. In the opening, whereas the N64 version of the game has Mumbo playing an Xylophone with the Nintendo logo on it, in the XBLA version it is replaced with a Microsoft Games Studios logo and in the main menu, Microsoft took out the Game Boy start-up sound from the Game Boy Banjo is playing.
**Also unlike the original, this version can run at a framerate of up to 60.
*The textures have been redone with much higher fidelity.
*The game can now be natively displayed in wide screen.
*As this is on the Xbox 360, the Nintendo 64 logo on the title screen was removed.
*As with ''Banjo Kazooe: Nuts and bolts'', The dialogue is in Andy Bold, instead of Comicrazy.
*Conker from  ''Conker's bad fur day'' replaces Berri from ''Twelve Tales: Conker 64'', the prototype of said game.
* Two paintings from the original game were redone.
* Due to legal reasons, the [[Nintendo]] logo has been replaced with a [[Microsoft Game Studios]] one.
* The first  scene in which Banjo and Kazooie go home through Spiral Mountain via a pre-recorded gameplay demo was removed
* In the second ending, the scene in which Mumbo shows off the Stop N' Swop eggs in Treasure Trove Cove is cut short after the gameplay demonstrates and Banjo and Kazooie fall off the tower.

*On release, a glitch existed where, if Musical Notes were collected by [[Banjo]] in [[Bottles' Moving Picture Game]] before they were obtained in the actual level, they would be permanently unobtainable. A patch was shortly released that fixed this issue.
