'''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 long-awaited [[Stop 'n' Swop]], a 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]]'' and Xbox Cloud Gaming (Project xCloud) service.


==Differences between versions==
==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.
===New Features===
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 main menu has received many added features:
**A portal to rewatch cutscenes
**A mode to fight previously defeated bosses.
**A viewable tutorial.  
**The ability to replay completed mini-games.  
**The volume and sound effects can be adjusted.
**The empty save files still have pictures of characters. These portraits also have the [[Stop 'n' Swop II]] logo at the corner.
*The pause menu has also received some changes:
**"Leaderboard and [[Achievements]]" has been introduced.
**"View Totals" has been introduced.
**"[[Jiggy]] Tips" has been introduced, which repladces the [[signpost]]s in [[Jiggywiggy's Temple]].
*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 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.
===Gameplay===
*Some of the changes made in the Japanese version were standardized, while others were reverted.
*Most glitches from the original version have been fixed.
*[[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.
*[[Gruntilda]] has some new questions in the [[Tower of Tragedy Quiz]], as well as few old ones changed.


''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]].
===Presentaition===
 
*The game is now compatible with High Definition resolutions and a higher frame rate, up to 1080p, 60 frames per second.
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 textures have been redone to be a much higher fidelity.
 
*Almost all instances of frame rate drops and lag have been removed.
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.)
**This causes issues with the audio in cutscenes and other moments being out of sync with the visuals, as the original music and sound effects were choreographed with the original game's lag in mind.
 
*Some music is modified, for example [[Witchyworld]]'s music has some instruments play at a different pitch and a wave effect in the song is removed.
===Isle o' Hags===
*The spinning [[Nintendo 64]] logo on the title screen was removed.
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.
*The dialogue is in a different font, Andy Bold, instead of Comicrazy.
 
*[[Humba Wumba]], after transforming [[Kazooie]] into a [[Dragon Kazooie|dragon]], mentions [[L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges]].
===Grunty Industries===
*Originally, Boggy says he's watching a movie called "Bear Babes 'n' Eskimos". In the Xbox 360 version, this is changed to "Bear Babes 'n' Bigfoot". This is likely due to the term "Eskimo" being used as an offensive slur to the Inuit people.
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, the bird 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.
 
The words are usually problematic with Xbox 360 controller buttons such as {{X360}}, {{Y360}}, or the triggers or bumpers as these buttons would be originally {{Z}} or {{A}} and {{B}}.

Revision as of 00:51, November 3, 2023

Banjo-Tooie is a port of the 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 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 and Xbox Cloud Gaming (Project xCloud) service.

Changes

New Features

  • The main menu has received many added features:
    • A portal to rewatch cutscenes
    • A mode to fight previously defeated bosses.
    • A viewable tutorial.
    • The ability to replay completed mini-games.
    • The volume and sound effects can be adjusted.
    • The empty save files still have pictures of characters. These portraits also have the Stop 'n' Swop II logo at the corner.
  • The pause menu has also received some changes:
  • 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.

Gameplay

  • Some of the changes made in the Japanese version were standardized, while others were reverted.
  • Most glitches from the original version have been fixed.
  • 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.
  • Gruntilda has some new questions in the Tower of Tragedy Quiz, as well as few old ones changed.

Presentaition

  • The game is now compatible with High Definition resolutions and a higher frame rate, up to 1080p, 60 frames per second.
  • The textures have been redone to be a much higher fidelity.
  • Almost all instances of frame rate drops and lag have been removed.
    • This causes issues with the audio in cutscenes and other moments being out of sync with the visuals, as the original music and sound effects were choreographed with the original game's lag in mind.
  • Some music is modified, for example Witchyworld's music has some instruments play at a different pitch and a wave effect in the song is removed.
  • The spinning Nintendo 64 logo on the title screen was removed.
  • The dialogue is in a different font, Andy Bold, instead of Comicrazy.
  • Humba Wumba, after transforming Kazooie into a dragon, mentions L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges.
  • Originally, Boggy says he's watching a movie called "Bear Babes 'n' Eskimos". In the Xbox 360 version, this is changed to "Bear Babes 'n' Bigfoot". This is likely due to the term "Eskimo" being used as an offensive slur to the Inuit people.
