'''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 ''Banjo-Tooie'' and [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|its prequel's Xbox Live Arcade port]]. Like [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Banjo-Kazooie,]] the game deleted every thing related to nintendo. Also, when Banjo and Kazooie are speaking with Loggo, Mario (n64) is that "italian man" (XBLA).
'''''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.


==Minor Problems/Glitches==
==Changes==
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.
===New Features===
*The main menu has received some added features:
**A stopwatch is now present when replaying bosses and mini-games in the menu for players to try to beat them in the shortest time. The times will be uploaded to the Leaderboards.
**A viewable tutorial.
**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 words are usually problematic with Xbox 360 controller buttons such as 'X', 'Y', or the triggers or bumpers as these buttons would be originally {{Z}} or {{A}} and {{B}}.
===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 Kazooie|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.
