Ranking Every Banjo-Kazooie Level!

I actually had a nightmare about Rusty bucket bay as a child. A bunch of monkeys had me tied to a chair while they paraded around the ship playing the stages theme music, forcing me to watch.

Dude I've always said that Freezeezy Peak was my favorite Banjo-Kazooie level purely because of the Christmas aesthetic. I got BK a long time ago around Christmas time so playing this level on a nice cold Christmas evening just brings me back so much memories

I know this seems like an unpopular opinion but two of my favorite worlds are Rusty Bucket Bay and Grunty industries. I really enjoy the music of each world and aesthetic that comes along with them. They even inspired me to write a story closely based on them. Since it seems that both worlds look like they're set during the industrial revolution.

Wow. You made me realize how much I love Grunty’s Lair.

Cauldron Keep was going to be a full 10 Jiggy world, that's why Tooie has 90 Jiggies. They cut it to get Tooie out in time for Christmas. You can search online for the original Cauldron Keep design docs, of which we have about 3 pages of

I'm replaying this game now on my Xbox. I forgot how much fun it is. It brings me back to a time when games were simple and enjoyable.

I just knew Freezeezy Peak and Treasure Trove Cove had to be top two. They are perfect

Rusty bucket bay theme actually kinda goes hard I think

I'm open for more ranking lists. Maybe next time you can do a ranking of all the bosses in the Banjo-Kazooie series. Or maybe a ranking of the main characters, the collectibles, etc.

Your opinion on Rusty Bucket Bay is EXACTLY how i feel about it! Hated it but came to appreciate it. Like a teacher that's hard on you. It was just preparing you for later

Really enjoyed this video! I was anticipating and trying to guess what your #1 would be and I wound up being right. Great list and points!

Top levels for me are 1. Click Clock Wood. 2. Hairfire peaks 3. Grunties industries. Mainly because I really love the theme of each.

Another fantastic video! I love Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie, but have never played the other games. Thanks for the upload!

Got to finally play Banjo Kazooie in full for the first time this year thanks to it coming to NSO and....it's easily become one of my favorite games of all time. I've played it like 4 times and desperately want to do a fifth but I'm trying to hold off so I don't burn out on it or something x3 I've only played the first game so if I had to choose the worst level....I'd probably go Click Clock Woods. I know most people say Rusty Bucket bay but....Rusty Bucket really just has one REALLY TERRIBLE room. Click Clock has FOUR level variations you all have to climb really high for and can easily fall from constantly. For best?....that's hard for me and the first game. I might give it to Mumbo's mountain as I think it's right up there with Bob-bomb battlefield as a fantastic intro level. I could also give it to Freezey Peak, due to how amazingly it goes with its aesthetics with the winter/Christmas theme.

Fantastic video as always man. I really enjoyed your list and everything you had to say about all the worlds. Some of my personal favorites are Glitter Gulch Mine, Click Clock Wood, Cliff Farm, Jolly Rogers Lagoon and Breegull Beach. You really can’t do wrong with most of the worlds in the series. Despite not playing nuts and bolts, I do think Showdown Town is a pretty nice hub world from everything I’ve heard about it. Either way you say it, the Banjo Kazooie series has some fantastic level design an amazing worlds. That much we all can agree on!

Nice video, love it!

Banjo simply means so much to me! Appreciate this man!

Wow great vid man, new sub!

I'm actually impressed that your reasoning were really thought out and honestly pretty convincing. Most of the other top lists from the series I've seen aren't that great cause their reasonings were kinda petty for the most part but yours are well thought out. Honestly Click Click Wood is my favorite level because I played it when I was like 12 or 13 years old when the game came out so its probably mostly nostalgia but the season aspect really clicked with me. Will agree with the number 1. As a huge fan of snow and that aesthetic I really love how the level is designed. Really amazing that so many levels in the original game are so well done. Hopefully they add Tooie to NSO soon so I can play through that game again. Only got to play it once a long time ago and I'd kill to be able to play it again

I have been obsessed with Banjo since I first played it back in the 1990s. I can get behind a lot of what you said. I may disagree slightly on rankings but not a ton. The only ones I felt strong about was I’d swap Bubblegloop and Mumbos Mountain rankings for sure.
