Banjo-Tooie: Приключения Медведя и Птицы на Nintendo 64

2000 video game

Banjo Tooie is a 2000 platform game developed by Rare and originally released for the Nintendo 64 console. It is the second game in the Banjo Kazooie series and the sequel to Banjo Kazooie. The game follows the returning protagonists Banjo and Kazooie as they attempt to stop the plans of the witch Gruntilda and two of her sisters, who intend to vaporise the inhabitants of the game's island setting. The game features worlds significantly larger than those of its predecessor, requiring the player to complete challenges such as solving puzzles, jumping over obstacles, collecting items, and defeating opponents. It also includes a multiplayer mode in which up to four players can compete in several minigames repurposed from the main campaign. Development of the game started in June 1998, directly after the release of its predecessor. Several new features were cut from the game due to time constraints and limitations of the Nintendo 64 hardware. Upon release, Banjo Tooie received critical acclaim from video game critics, who praised its graphics and the size of its worlds. However, the game's inconsistent frame rate was criticized. In 2009, Banjo Tooie was re released as an Xbox Live Arcade game for the Xbox 360. The game was also included in the Rare Replay video game compilation, released for the Xbox One in 2015.

Similar to its predecessor Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie is a single player platform game in which the protagonists are controlled from a third person perspective. Carrying over most of the mechanics and concepts established in its predecessor, the game features three dimensional worlds consisting of various platforming challenges and puzzles, with a notable increased focus on puzzle solving over the worlds of Banjo Kazooie. These challenges, along with exploration, usually reward the player with collectible items that permit progression to later challenges and worlds. Among the items are golden jigsaw pieces, called Jiggies, that are used to permit entry to new worlds; instead of exploring the game's overworld in search of incomplete puzzle boards as in Banjo Kazooie, a singular board is used within a temple where a character named Master Jiggywiggy resides, that can only be accessed if the player has obtained the number of Jiggies required to open a new world. A timed puzzle completion challenge can then be played, after which Jiggywiggy grants access to the world. Each puzzle challenge requires more Jiggies than the last. GameRevolution considered Banjo Tooie less repetitive than Donkey Kong 64 and a worthy successor to Banjo Kazooie.
