Played through the Rare Replay collection.

While the original game is still a favorite of mine, Banjo-Tooie is the textbook definition of "tedious." The constant backtracking makes it really hard to want to go back to it, and it feels like the large connected world doesn't do the original's levels justice. Shame, but I feel like Banjo-Kazooie is the biggest one-hit wonder franchise in gaming in my opinion.
