Overview
Banjo the bear leads a peaceful life on Spiral Mountain alongside his fast-talking bird friend Kazooie and his cheerful younger sister, Tooty. Their quiet home is shared, however, by the wicked witch Gruntilda, who one day asks her sentient cauldron who the prettiest girl on the mountain is. To her jealous fury, the answer is not herself but young Tooty. Consumed by envy and determined to steal the girl's beauty for her own, Gruntilda swoops down and kidnaps Tooty, spiriting her away to her towering cliffside lair. When Banjo and Kazooie hear the commotion and learn from their mole friend Bottles what has happened, the duo set off at once, venturing into Gruntilda's twisted lair to rescue Tooty before the witch can carry out her vain and villainous scheme.
The Xbox 360 remaster of Banjo-Kazooie has visual and performance improvements over the Nintendo 64 version. In this version, the player doesn't lose the notes after getting out of a stage, which is a major difference over the original, since it doesn't require the player to get everything again after leaving or dying.
