this was fine! charming graphics, an alright soundtrack (probably the worst of the banjo games but also it's a gba game like what do u want), and surprisingly well translated controls all lead to a pretty fun time.
the isometric camera angle is a little odd at times, a bit hard to know what's background and what isn't and if you can jump on specific platforms but otherwise it works well. the worlds were all okay, but bad magic bayou, and especially spiller's harbor were just frustrating and unfun. the rest were good, nothing super special but solid. i liked all the little mini games, and the bosses were alright too. i will say the final boss was a bit much, i only died once, but it's like 5 phases long and if you die at any phase you have to not only restart the fight, but also redo the puzzle to get into the fight! that's just obnoxious!
this game was silly and fun but not a must play or anything. mostly carried by the charm of banjo as a series, and if you don't fuck with that you probably will not have a very good time at all.
