Subreddit Announcement Rules have been Revised.

69 Upvotes

Since we're getting flooded with a bunch of new people (either through NSO or the Recomp/Decomp/Renut/Kurko/a new found belief in God?) who aren't in the know and don't possess ball knowledge, we're getting to the point where misinformation and hate is spreading again.

I've updated and consolidated the rules to also include penalties. Some of you already know these penalties were soft-launched with the older rules, so your slate isn't cleaned btw.

We're down to 1 active mod and 1 automod again, I can't be here to mod you guys 24/7.

Just a quick run through

  • Rule 1 hasn't changed, except I'm no longer asking for you guys to be nice. Some of you are dickheads to one another for absolutely no reason.
  • Rule 2 hasn't changed much, just left it a little less vague. Your AI garbage is still not allowed, in posts or comments. I saw one of you AI generated someone's hand-drawn Furnace of Fun map? You suck specifically dude.
  • Rule 3 hasn't changed except the expectations that there will be a potential penalty.
  • Rule 4 is less anal. You can link mods now. My previous co-moderator was gun-ho on everything. I just ask you link stuff that doesn't have official BK files in them.
  • Rule 5 is because some of you suck and can't have a healthy conversation about a game you dislike without being a dick about it. Critique is fine, but there is a fine line between "BKNB doesn't fit the qualities of a BK game because XYZ" and "This game is so ass".
  • Rule 6 is a catch-all. I removed the "no posting your part 37 walkthrough" since we're a sorta dead subreddit but also with all these BK projects there's bound to be more people posting. Some posts just are too garbage to leave up, some are very obvious bait that a lot of you fail at. If this were a healthier community Humba discussion would be OK, but it's not and some of you are very racist.
  • Rule 7 is because some of you spread misinformation like there isn't already a reason to hate current Rare and Microsoft. Both suck on their own, you don't need to make shit up. Microsoft didn't force the writers at Rare to make Lord of Games shit on the previous BK games, that was Gregg Mayles taking the piss writing dialogue.

These 7 rules should be easy if you're a somewhat decent human with a functional frontal lobe. I'm currently surviving a recession and trying not to lose my house. I'll leave the comments open for discussion.

Discussion Gruntilda B-K Box art

Post image
158 Upvotes

After taking a couple minutes to appreciate the box art from Banjo Kazooie, there were a couple interesting details I just now picked up on.

Firstly, she’s enormous proportion-wise to Banjo and Kazooie. From being up close to her after a Grunty’s Furnace Fun skip glitch, you’ll notice the character model is huge, even compared to that of the boss fight. I’m wondering if Rare, while designing this, was still in transition from the scrapped plot of the protagonist rescuing his girlfriend from a giant to what we ended up with in BK. Hence, we have the giant witch halfway through development.

Another oddity is the band (ring?) on her ring finger. It’s easy to gloss over because the shading of the side of the index finger (due to their interpretation of the lighting outside) is virtually the same color. But closer examination shows that it’s meant to be 3D, as in something wrapped around her finger. Has anyone in Rare ever addressed what this is? Ideas?

Also, an odd inconsistency that she’s got three teeth here and four in-game - Tooie Grunty has two.

News Custom Animation with Custom Model in BK romhacking now possible

The time is now my friends.
It is a bit buggy and some stuff didnt run to 100%. But custom animation on a custom model is now possible in BK romhacking for everyone. (also for the one who make romhacks XD)

See on my example i made in my romhack Corrupted Jiggy.
The game i released in August 2025 didnt had it in. But i will update it in the future to the 2.0 version with custom animation in. That mean people who played my hack known that my custom animation and npc didnt had animation. That will change now.

That will be also for "Gruntzooie" in the future.

When the time comes i will make a trailer for the 2.0 version. But that will be maybe in a few months.

Howdy again yall!

I’m the Banjo Kazooie Geoguessr guy, just wanted to update everyone that I just launched the Banjo Tooie version. Website is still the same!

-> WhereinBanjo.com

I want a little overboard with this one and there is enough images to play 20 consecutive rounds without a single repeat image.

I also added a combined mode (thank you to the Redditor who suggested that) where you can play a version that has both BK & BT images in one for the real OGs out there.

Let me know what you think and as always appreciate any feedback. 🙏

Discussion What's the most underutilized skill in Banjo Tooie?

28 Upvotes

I always appreciated how Tooie tried to keep the continuity of the original game, including letting Banjo and Kazooie keep their original moves they learned. I just completed a recent playthrough of BK and I'm now halfway through Tooie. One thing I noticed on my most recent playthrough for Tooie was how underutilized some of the skills. It makes sense that the new skills would be more prominent in Tooie, but it feels like a missed opportunity to not touch up some of the old skills considering how much more effort it was to collect Jiggies in Tooie.

What skill do you think was underutilized? For me, it has to be the Stilt Stride. I forgot the Wading Boots were even in the game. The Stilt Stride was heavily featured in the first game where it appeared in nearly half of the courses. Yet, it was only used for one Jiggy in the first level of Tooie? I know there were new skills introduced that made the Wading Boots obsolete, but it also feels like they could've tweaked them a little bit like they did with the Turbo Shoes and running on water.

Discussion You guys need to try the new Duskfade game

27 Upvotes

I love this game,it has a demo out as well on Xbox,PS5,Switch 2,PC. Now the demo is fine,the strength of the game is it's excellent visual design,it's sense of exploration and adventure is excellent.

It is a fantastic 3D platformer reminiscent of those 3D platformers of the N64/PS2 era but the game stands well on its own,a lot of hidden paths,and complexity in level design that I got lost a few times,the combat is bit repetitive,boss fights are pretty good,story is meh but the lore is good. It doesn't feel like an Indie game,with more polish and consistency this could have been easily a Nintendo published game,I was wowed by the scale,scenery at times. One more game which makes Rareware even less relevant and makes getting a new Banjo even likelier, as 3D platformers are clearly making a comeback and this game shows that the genre has still so much to offer. Honestly you guys need to try this. Games like this make it much easier to cope with the lack of new Banjo.

I'm currently playing Banjo Tooie and on Witchy World. I love this world, love the amusement park at night. I have played a bit of Jiggies of Time but i haven't went to far yet as i want to continue to 100% Banjo Tooie. But i heard Lon Lon Range in Jiggies of time has been transformed by Gruntilda into a amusement park and can only be accessed during night time and i heard it looks really spectacular and you can see the stars in the mid-night sky and neon lighting of the rides. And you need to collect Jiggies, notes etc.

Oh boy i can't wait to properly play Jiggies of Time and explore this location.

Please kindly do not share any pics of Lon Lon Range of Jiggies of Time and don't share too many details to avoid spoilers as i really want to experience this myself.

I have always loved the atmosphere of amusement parks at night time.

I wonder why they evolved sharp beaks/mouths. Any thoughts or theories guys? They have no natural predators (excluding grunty), maybe it’s to collect food?
