three bear kids + one hat kid

I was absolutely staggered by this mod. I didn't expect so much care and attention to detail. And I was completely blindsided by the addition of a boss complete with a Banjo-Tooie introduction scene! And that Furnace Fun segment was incredibly well crafted.

The only complaint I had is a bit of a typo on the last Furnace Fun question, "How many bears fit in there?" is the original question, the answer is 4, because 3 kids + boggy. But here, it's "How many kids fit in there?" and the answer was still 4. Which I assumed was a twist on the original question, but apparently not! Unless this is a super trick question that I misunderstood.

Aside from that, I've nothing but praise. Yes, the boss was brutal. I still enjoyed it. (Definitely made easier with the time stop hat)

Time stop hat

If your goal with Bob was to design the least fun platforming boss imaginable you succeeded....and I say this as someone who enjoyed doing all the death wish bosses with 1 hit hero equipped

....other than that though this is pretty nice

Game crashes as soon as you try to go down the hill :(

why no death wishes?

That is completely fair. We need more Banjo Kazooie Hat in Time mod levels. There are two.. this and Spiral Mountain. I mean if you are hesitating, might I suggest Mad Monster Mansion (a good level and the best level in the original) or you could do Rusty Bucket Bay.. I actually really like Rusty Bucket Bay. I like it out of spite because everybody else found it so tough. Or the level that always makes me cry, Click Clock Wood... All of these levels are mood pieces that even if you recreated the level and had nothing, that would be a instant win. The fact this kind of thing is probably really hard would turn people away and I don't blame you if that is like a Herculean effort.

I'm going to be honest I'm not really thrilled with how twinklies turned out looking back on it. It was very jerry rigged together with as little scripting elements as possible. I'm happy it turned out functional at all. The difficulty is aboustely due to how it was rigged t ogether. If I were to do it again I'd definitely script it.

The twinklies challenge is way harder than the original game.. You have virtually no cool down and barely enough time.. they get eaten way too fast and sometimes before you are there fully. It's actually harder than the original game. The strategy that worked doesn't here... and it's just insanely hard to save them when they spawn two or so at once and the dudes just respawn too quickly. I have failed 3 times and it just feels like RNG and luck. I can't really continue. Good recreation but that was way harder than it needed to be

i was so scared of what the "price" was for taking the esier furnace fun that I just cheated instead

and I am not ashamed as that jiggy is bullshit please never lock half the stages behind a bullshit challenge again

damn bro thats crazy

this is pretty funny!

nooo

Ah yes, The Memories are coming back (remembers Sir Shush's annoyingly precise aim)

make more banjo levels

Thank you!

You know what I haven't even considered that! I'll see what I can do for you

hey! mr. creator guy, I never picked up the gift box at the end of bottles furnace fun, and bottles wont let me back! do I need to go through this "secret passage" bottle is talking about, or am I pecked.

so how does one use the jump and flight pads?because i cant figure it out.

sorry for leaving another comment, but i just learned you can use the time hat to make him easier (i forget about it because I never use it) but he is still too hard for me as i still get hit by a random slide now and then while the hat is on cooldown. and i also have to say, if I have to RELY on a hat to beat him, then it's not a good boss honestly, because for all the other official bosses, i never had to rely on a hat to beat any of them. it should be beatable with just platforming alone, and it's not.... if you do read these, know i am not trying to insult or anything, i am just trying to critic, because i really love what you did with this level...but a couple of things are just a bit too hard to really enjoy. (The other being the 2nd Boggy Race as ice girl, he needs to be slowed down a little because having to perfectly do the slide speed tech the whole race is a bit too much honestly, especially to people who have trouble with it)

another thing thing i noticed, is when grunty asks the question "how many kids are in the igloo" there are only 3 kids in the igloo , but the answer was 4 instead. this actually killed me because i answered 3

seriously, i have been fighting him for an hour now, and i can't beat him because i keep getting hit by a random slide that i can't avoid and i am not having fun anymore...yes, i know i can jump off the side to avoid things, but when he is coming right at me, i still get hit and it's just alot of unlucky bullshit. Seriously, adding 1 or 2 heart pons whenever you hit him would make this fight feel alot less luck based...I am really sorry if I am coming off as annoying, but this boss has honestly ruined the fun of this world for me...i am just so unlucky with his slides and i can't win.

I have to say, i love the new stuff you put in here, but the boss is not really fun after the 8th time fighting him. him sliding around is so random that sometimes I just get hit with no way to dodge it, and it's not really fun when my luck isn't panning out and i keep getting hit by him sliding in random directions and then i get hit. Please make it so he gives at least 1 or 2 heart pons after every time you hit him...I do enjoy a challenging boss fight, but when i am dying alot due to him randomly sliding into me, it honestly feels cheap

Absolutely! The boss music was catchy, the boss itself was challenging yet fun, and the puns....I LOVE IT XD!!!

Wait is that something you want

Love the boss! Funnest part of the level. Will there be another level with just the boss itself?

My bad, you just have to wait long enough for the map to load in, and not press any buttons on the loading screen. Looks fantastic!

Keeps crashing for me ;~;'

Absolutely AMAZING! a great ode to one of my favourite games of all time!

The on;y suggestions I have are
1. Make Bob a tad less random, I could only beat him by cheating a bit
2. Slow Boggy down a little. Unless there's some special tactic for the second race I don't know about, that was easily one of the hardest jiggies

This is such a great level! It has some easy parts along with some difficult parts that were very fun to beat! And I just love how nostalgic it is! The music and sound effects as well as seeing, hearing, and interacting with those classic characters again was super cool!

Bob was a really cool character and boss fight but I agree that he is too random during his sliding attack. After losing a bunch I switched to the projectile badge and he died from only 2 hits from a fully charged beam! Much easier but It was kinda glitchy though,

Thank you so, so, so much for making this level!

(Conclusion...)

I know you must have put a lot of work into making that boss, but I'm sorry, when most of the kills I had are when the giant, unjumpable ice block decides that, after making it rain and producing a shockwave/second, suddenly decides it wants to ram me at such a speed, even Sonic would tell him to 'chill', then there's a problem. I just think you should take him down a bit. Make his TWELVE ice skating phases less long and grueling to survive. Give him a pause before he slides again after the shockwaves. Or heck, throw a heart pon between phases. C'mon, even Death Wish bosses give heart pons ! I did beat him, but I had to cheat a little, by using a mod magnet badge to resplendish my health. And even then, I ended up at 1 HP !

...

Okay, I'm done. Other than that little 'peak' of difficulty, be very proud of what you've made, because it was fantastic to play ! Thank you again for taking the time to make this, and hope to hear more of you soon !

(Continuation...)

All in all, this was an adventure I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish !

...

With ONE exception. And that's Bob.

Whichi is a crying shame, because in concept, it's a really good job. Since destroying the snowmen was so easy this time around, it made sense to add a little bit more to the mission. And Bob looks like he would fit right in a Banjo-Kazooie game, with his 'cool' puns. His music is a fine tune as well, kudos to Adam for that. Finally, he's all original !

So, what's wrong with him ? He's TOO HARD ! I can understand that a challenge was required here, but the thing is, contrary to the Ice Girl race, this didn't feel like something I could get through with skills. It was all luck. Nearly 80% of the times I got hit was because he'd suddenly bounce in my direction in an instant, and it felt cheap. The Time Stop Hat only helped so much, and instead, I had to rely on the Ice Hat and its invincibility.

(To be concluded...)

(Continuation...)

Oooh, those crocodile heads were such a pain to keep in line for the christmas lights to pass, but it was all a matter of rhythm ! The tree was also quite hard to climb, might I suggest a ladder ? ;)

The races were great too ! The first one was a breeze, once you hop on that scooter, it's a smooth ride. But the second one, oh boy ! It took me TWO HOURS to finally get that polar bear to finally eat his words ! Many screams were uttered, but what an amazing feeling it was to see that jiggy appear at last. That's how you make a challenge !

Speaking of challenges, the Bottles Courses were very well-crafted, and I'd say the highlight of the game. It was tough, but fair. Harder than the main game, but definitely more forgiving than Death Wish. Having Bottles egg you on to be the next collectible mascot was really sweet. And that little quip from Gruntilda was very true. I've seen the footage, and I am not ready for that final boss !

(To MrHomelesshobo)

I played your mod just yesterday, in a five-hour mad dash. See, I've never played any of the Banjo-Kazooie games before, but I've been interested ever since they assaulted a dog and a duck (if you know what I mean). So, when I saw that I could experience part of it here, I immediately downloaded it.

And, I've got to say... this might be one of the best mods I've ever played here, a contender for best even. Jamming to the original music, having the original characters speaking to you, all the missions plus a couple of new ones, even getting the mighty Ice Key at the end ! It's all great stuff.

The collectibles were everywhere, man ! Getting everything was smooth, basic instinct, but still required to look for the stuff. Those Mumbo Tokens were no joke !

(To be continued...)

(To Nyan~)
It's hard, very hard, but not impossible. It took me TWO HOURS of sweat and tears, but I did it. Here's a couple of tips :
-Train yourself to perfect those dive boosts (just like Gruntilda said). They are IMPERATIVE to get ahead of Boggy, especially in the last legs.
-Always slide on the first slope, it'll give you a good boost to start. In fact, if you see a slope going down, try sliding. The one on the cliff is hard to master, but if you do it correctly, you'll get a huge advantage.
-If you see Boggy trying to pass you, put yourself in front of him, and he'll push you along with him. Very useful for the first slope you have to climb, where diving doesn't help.
-Know when to boost, and when not to. If you boost every time, you'll go too far, and lose time.
-On the last slope just before the finish line, double jump and dive to dash to the goal.

Hope this helps !

use as many dive cancels as possible Nyan

The second race is completely impossible for me. Any tips to suck less? I've been at it a whole hour, and I've even attempted to cheese it using specific cheaty badges (to no avail.) I mean, seriously, what kind of reflexes am I supposed to have for this? TAS-tier ones?

I'm getting some really bad frame rate on this map. Might just be on my end but it could just be the map not having the best optimization. Also the light defence has a long pause before it starts. That's a minor issue but the frame rate can become a serious problem.

Seriously good stuff man, it was really tough at parts but the amount of polish and effort you put into the rest of the mod made it very much worth beating, A+++ mod

:eyes:

Hey creator, you should totally make a separate mod to replace time pieces with Jiggies.

Amazing mod that you've done a ton of stuff with that really shows how custom you can get with these maps, but man that boss. If you want this to be a fully approachable mod that boss needs to change. Have it drop some health during the phase change or make it so it's only once through each phase or slow down it's movement a bit. It's essentially already in death wish mode.

Thank you very much!

Just finished it, got nothing else to add that hasn't already been said. Great job on this!

I'm probably not going to play this one, but just watching that video I can see how much effort you put into it, and it's simply fantastic. Good job beyond what mere words can express.

well thank you very much mister homeless man

can somebody tell me the name of the song used for the Bob boss? i checked the link in the description but couldn't find it.

How do I use the jump and flight pads? The jump pads inside the bottles challenge work for me, but not the one on the snowman's nose.
