'''''Banjo-Tooie'' (Xbox Live Arcade)''' is a port of the original [[Nintendo 64|N64]] version of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' for the [[Xbox 360|Xbox 360's]] LIVE Arcade. It became available for download on April 29, 2009. In the original statement confirming its release, [[Rare]] called the port a "note-perfect migration", as the game was relatively unchanged from the original apart from the addition of the [[Stop 'n' Swop]] feature, which is fully implemented in the game and offers connectivity between this version of ''Banjo-Tooie'' and [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|its predecessor's Xbox Live Arcade port]].
'''''Banjo-Tooie''''' is a port of the [[Banjo-Tooie|game of the same name]] for the [[Xbox 360]] as part of Xbox Live Arcade, a digital video game download service. It was published by [[Microsoft]] in 2009 and, much like ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''{{'}}s [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade port]], made multiple minor changes to both the game's graphics and gameplay, as well as adding some extra content through [[Stop 'n' Swop]]. This version was later included in ''[[Rare Replay]]'', a collection for the [[Xbox One]].


==Differences between versions==
==Differences and changes==
In this improved version of the original, the changes are quite visible. The graphics have improved considerably, adapting to high definition. The framerate is much smoother (both in speed and control when passing from one room to another). The resolution has also increased.
*The main menu has recieved many changes, now containing a way to see specific cutscenes again, a way to fight bosses and play mini-games again and and a tutorial that can be seen at any time. The volume and sound effects can be decreased and the empty save files still have pictures of characters. These portraits also have the [[Stop 'n' Swop II]] logo at the corner.
Moreover, as ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie XBLA]]'', the game has a new redesign of the main menu. Includes Achievements and Leaderboards, as well as the option to see from the beginning of the game its credits. Like the XBLA version of ''Banjo-Kazooie'', ''Banjo-Tooie'' includes a 'tutorial' where you can see (at any time during the game) the movements and how to use them. The player can also decrease the volume of the music and FX at will. One notable change is that now the charts in the game file selection have the picture of the character, without having a save on it. At the corner of the same you can see the logo of Stop'n Swop II. All the glitches from the [[Nintendo 64]] version have been removed and there is no way of realizing them.
*The pause menu has also recieved some changes, with many new options such as "Leaderboard and [[Achievements]]", "View Totals" and "[[Jiggy]] Tips", which repladced the [[signpost]]s in [[Jiggywiggy's Temple]].
 
*Most glicthes from the original version have been fixed.
The pause menu has been modified. Apart from the already mentioned before, the new menu removes the option to save (since the game automatically saves) and, instead of existing posts information [[Jiggywiggy's Temple]], these have been replaced by 10 Jiggy tips for each world visible provided the player press 'Start'. The section 'View Totals' also has covered items and [[Jinjo]]s, comprising everything in the same submenu, making it easier to use.
*As the original music and sound effects had been made with lag in mind, some no longer play correctly as the port removes all the lag.
 
*[[Klungo]]'s potions are no longer random, with him always using the red potion in the first battle, the green potion in the second battle and the blue potion in the third battle.
''Banjo-Tooie XBLA'' includes a connection between ''Banjo-Kazooie XBLA'' and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts]]'' (with [[L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges]]) by using the [[Stop 'n' Swop]] and the new role of the [[Stop 'n' Swop II]].
*The textures are in a much higher resolution.
 
*All [[Nintendo]] references have been removed or replaced.
Players can now repeat the bosses with a stopwatch to try to beat them in the shortest time possible. The times will be uploaded to the Leaderboards. The mini-games also have this option.
*The dialogue is in a different font, Andy Bold, instead of Comicrazy.
 
*Stop 'n' Swop, a feature originally scrapped in the original game, is now fully functional and works with both the Xbox Live Arcade port of ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. Stop 'n' Swop II, a new feature, has also been implemented.
The font has also changed. Instead of using Comicraft's Comicrazy, [[Rare]] has chosen Andy Bold MT, as in the English version of ''Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts'' (before the update.)
*[[Humba Wumba]], after transforming [[Kazooie]] into a [[Dragon Kazooie|dragon]], mentions [[L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges]].
 
*[[Gruntilda]] has some new questions in the [[Tower of Tragedy]] Quiz, as well as few old ones changed.
===Isle o' Hags===
In [[Heggy's Egg Shed]], the dialogue with [[Heggy]] has been modified to fit the new use of Stop'n'Swop. Oddly, the text is an [[wikipedia:anachronism|anachronism]], since Heggy said that the Secret Eggs take 10 years in [[Banjo|Banjo's]] backpack without taking into account that since ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (XBLA)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' would be two. She also mentions ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'' as if it already exists, forgetting about the ten years between the two games.
 
===Grunty Industries===
When the duo find [[Loggo]] in the Worker's Quarters, Kazooie makes a reference to [[wikipedia:Mario|Mario]] that has been edited. In this version, Kazooie says: "''Then call a plumber! I do not think That Well-Known Italian one is doing anything at the moment.''"
 
In the same room, "[[wikipedia:Donkey Kong|DK]]" magnetic logo could be found in the fridge is replaced by one that says "BK".
 
===Cauldron Keep===
Some questions of the [[Tower of Tragedy]] have been slightly modified:
 
*"''What game does not have a refrigerator magnet in the Workers Quarters in Grunty Industries?''" In the original version the correct answer was ''Banjo-Kazooie'', but now is ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''.
 
*Question "''How many buttons has an official Nintendo 64 controller got?''", whose answer is 10, has been changed by "''How many buttons has an official Xbox 360 controller got?''", whose answer is 13.
 
*The question about the doll with which [[Goggles]] plays also have changed. Instead of Donkey Kong, the answer is "''an adorable gorilla''".
 
Like ''Banjo-Kazooie XBLA'', the credits are now twice as long for including 4J Studios. This version omits the text of the final thanking the player "''for making it this far ...''".
 
==Minor Problems/Glitches==
While the game seems to run as smoothly as the Nintendo 64 version of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', with the console change there has been noted a problem with Jamjars' speech. [[Jamjars]] speaks in rhyming couplets which usually correspond words with the buttons on the controller. In situations where the Xbox 360 controller is different from the Nintendo 64 controller, there have been problems with the wording used as it no longer rhymes.
 
Another problem is the cutscenes of the game. While they do play out, the music is out of sync. This problem caused concern for most players.
 
The randomizing feature for the boss fights against [[Klungo]] has also been removed. Now he always chooses the red potion (growth) in the first battle, the green potion (invisibility) in the second battle, and the blue potion (multiplication) in the third battle.
