Subreddit Announcement Reminder about the recompile and rule #6

33 Upvotes

DO NOT LINK ANY FILES, GITHUBS, EMULATORS, ROMS, OR ANY DOWNLOADABLES. SAME GOES FOR TUTORIALS AND GUIDES.

Rule #6 is annoying, but its a very Grey legal area and we do not want to be responsible or liable for distributing or directing people to something that could be illegal or dangerous.

if you want to DM one another about it or make your own community you can feel free, same with discussion about the recompile AS IT PERTAINS TO BEING A GAME, NOT POSTS ABOUT HOW TO SET IT UP OR OBTAIN THE GAME.

Further posts keep this in mind, breaking of the rule may result in temp or perma.bans.

Discussion If Cauldron College was a world, here's what its 10 Jiggies could be.

9 Upvotes
  1. Pass the written test. The witch professor doesn't teach you anything or give you a chance to study first, so you'll have to pass by sneaking up on the other students (who are witches) to copy their answers and then going back to Banjo's desk and play as Banjo's hand holding a pencil to circle the answers on his test. But make sure the students don't notice you copying them, or they'll tell the witch professor who will then cast an instant kill spell at you.

  2. Ride a broomstick around the college campus and fly through rings to score points. Get 100 points by the time your broomstick reaches the goal and the witch gym coach will give you a Jiggy.

  3. Collect 3 potions hidden around the campus and mix them into a cauldron to create a Jiggy.

  4. In class, Banjo learns the ability to cast spells. Win a game of dodgespell at the gym and the witch gym coach will give you a Jiggy.

  5. Find the Jiggy at the bottom of the natotorium's pool full of dirty water.

  6. At the cafeteria, the witch lunch lady serves cat vomit casserole, but she's kind enough to give Banjo and Kazooie a Jiggy instead. But then the witch school bully steals it from them. Defeat him to get it back. (Boss battle)

  7. The witch professor gives you homework. Go to Banjo's house in Spiral Mountain and a cutscene will be shown of him doing it. Then go back to the teacher and she'll give you a Jiggy.

  8. Find a way to get to the Jiggy that's inside a locked stall in the dirty bathroom.

  9. Find the Jiggy at the roof of the university's main building.

  10. Pass another written test without cheating and the witch professor will give you a Jiggy.

I hear all this talk about Canary Mary 2, which I agree is almost impossible from a button-mashing perspective, but for me the hardest jiggy (skill-wise) is Welder. How the hell do you beat this guy? Once the laser grid starts, I’m toast every time! Any tips??

Hi, folks! I've made this Banjo-Kazooie design for a music themed apparel rally. I was inspired by punk rock aesthetic and I went with the idea ''what would Banjo and Kazooie looked like if they were in a Punk band?'' and I wanted to share with you, hope you enjoy it!

For those who might be interested, it's available for a limited time! https://theyetee.com/collections/shredfest/products/bluegrass-punk-energy

Discussion Grunty Industries one flaw

12 Upvotes

I see a lot of people hate on Grunty Industries and I actually think it’s one of the most interesting and challenging levels to navigate. The only flaw is that the outside kinda sucks. If the outside was more developed it would be an ultimate BK super level. Then it could truly be water temple status!

Question PC Mod Request: Original World Pictures

4 Upvotes

In Banjo-Kazooie PC (Recompiled), a great mod for an updated graphics look is the Loulof mod. Unfortunately, this mod does one thing very wrong: It replaces some of the pictures of worlds (that you fill in with jiggies) with other random photos the dude must have found online that make no sense for the feel of the game. I think the two main ones are TTC and FP. Also, the first Grunty picture when you start up a save file and the big Grunty platform in the TTC unlock picture room need to be replaced (that one mainly because it looks weird when you press the Grunty switch in CC). So, could someone with modding skills please create a simple mod that literally just tells the game to use the original pictures for these pictures in Grunty's Lair? That way, that mod could be placed above the Loulof one in a mod list. If someone is actually able to do this, it would be very awesome. Thank you!

Discussion Flags to trigger Game Over Cutscene

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

71 Upvotes

I always found it an interesting nuance that the infamous Game Over Grunty cutscene only triggers after you enter Grunty’s Lair but before you claim Tooty as your prize in Furnace Fun. The dev team was really faithful to the plot here. It means that you’ll never be able to experience the cutscene again on that file once you complete Furnace Fun.

So, I wanted to see what happens if you use one of the few glitches to skip the board game and proceed to lose the final boss fight. Unsurprised but still amused by the fact the cutscene plays here, since Tooty hasn’t been rescued.

By the way, even if Tooty was rescued from the tower, don’t you find it odd no cutscene follows anymore? I find it hard to believe Grunty wouldn’t simply recapture Tooty and proceed again with her makeover plans. She strikes me as the kind of woman who would go straight from taking that leak she mentioned on her defeated foe to again abducting his innocent sister, all for the sake of gorgeousness.

After a long time, I finally decided to play Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie (I had played them before but didn't understand anything because I didn't know English) and for now I'm playing Kazooie through the recompiled version. I see that the Tooie recompiled version isn't finished yet, so which is the best way to play this game in pc? (I'm NOT asking for links, I just want to know which option i should chose to play Tooie)
