Title: Banjo-Kazooie
Game: Banjo-Kazooie
Composer: Grant Kirkhope
Arranger: Robert Morris
Featuring: Nathan Chesla, Colin Eng, Blaise Ryan, Braidon Saelens, Andrew Miguel Villegas, Davis Xu
Banjo-Kazooie is an (apparently) defunct series released originally for the Nintendo 64 by the company Rare, known for numerous classics of the early Nintendo era including Goldeneye and Donkey Kong Country. The titular characters of Banjo, a honey-bear, and Kazooie, a made up bird known as a breegull, are tasked with rescuing Banjo’s sister Tooty who was kidnapped by the evil witch Gruntilda! Banjo and Kazooie are incredible foils of each other; the mild-mannered Banjo full of respect for others while Kazooie typically berates anyone and everyone seemingly just because! As the two of them get sent out on this adventure, the zany 3D worlds stunned many players with creative characters, beautiful colors, and sometimes, absolute chaos! Please enjoy the title theme to this classic, unfortunately not featuring the Kazoo!
