Hey guys, this video ended up being so much more work than expected, but I'm happy with how it turned out. It was a nice change of pace, so I'm not opposed to trying more challenge videos in the future. If you have any feedback / suggestions on game(s) I should consider, let me know!

"A death warp is needed" is the new "I want to die"

31:46 - "Beak bust boulder blocking bumbling beaver's bhome." 32:23 - "burrow. Oh right that's the word." I just wanted to let you know I noticed and appreciated this.

Skip the Jump has a nice ring to it

I like how this video popped up in suggested immediately after Banjo was announced for Smash

I couldn't do this, i would drive myself crazy. I jump out of boredom. I'm the guy that rolls everywhere in Ocarina of Time. Jumping gives me something to do in between the action.

I'd like to see a spreadsheet of the jumps so we can work as a community lowering it!

The Legend of Zelda Four Seasons Hotel Mario Woods 3D World was always my favorite level in Banjo Kazooie.

Oh god, I was so confused about death warping until I realized you're not playing the original N64 release so your Jinjos and Notes don't reset xD

How did you get a hold of my long lost cousin Bandito Dorito?? Great video btw, welcome to the challenge crew! 👍

Banjo-Kazooie is my favorite game of all time, and I know quite a bit about the game... But I never knew you could kill Snacker in Treasure Trove Cove...

I did NOT know you could egg the shark to death!

Wow, my favorite month is [INSERT MONTH HERE] too!

Great video dude! Loved it!

Flea Bag and Chicken Legs are in Smash now, thanks to Sakurai, Microsoft and Rare.

Honestly this is a lot more jumps than I was expecting

What a down-to-earth video! And your gameplay skills are surely grounded in experience. In terms of entertainment, you truly held nothing back (except for Kazooie's wings). Now that last sentence may have sounded a bit forced, but I just tend to gravitate towards making whatever puns I can. I simply couldn't avoid jumping at the opportunity to engage in cheesy wordplay. Now with my puns expended, I'll just (bird) bounce out! Edit: oops! I almost forgot to (ground) pound that like button! And no, that definitely wasn't just an excuse to make another pun!

**officially the most nostalgic video game of all time**

Good video! You sound a bit nervous, but I know something new can be hard. There's one critique I have to offer: you really should have said during the rules what version you're using. The only reason this route works is because you're on a version that saves notes. The N64 version, with its best score mechanic, would rule out... pretty much all the deathwarps, and possibly bloat the counter immensely as you have to do a note collecting run on Rusty Bucket Bay before optimizing jiggies. Still, I respect the work you put into this route, and it shows with a good video!

Coming back and watching this again after your Banjo-Tooie least-jumps run is so wild, just to see the difference in numbers. Both are amazing accomplishments! It’s interesting how the Tooie levels almost seem to be designed more horizontally to me than the more vertical Kazooie levels. Love the content as always!

I loved this video! One of my favorite games and you showed techniques (bird bouncing) that I'd never thought of. Great video as always. :)

OMG! I forgot that they moved Christmas to [INSERT MONTH HERE]!

This and Banjo-Tooie are some of my all time favorite games, thanks for the nostalgia and challenge :).

I would love to see how many jumps does it take to beat Super Mario Sunshine :D but I loved this! Super cool to be able to say you only need X amount of jumps to beat a game :)

these kinds of videos make my hands feel so anxious, like, im thinking "bro just jump lol" the whole time, even though that is the challenge.

You deserve all the attention for the hard work. I CANT imagine how long that really took, holy shit. Mad respect.

Yo this is SO cool! Banjo is one of my favourite games ever and it's awesome to see people do crazy shit like this in it.

This is a great video! Banjo-Kazooie is one of my favorite games as well! Nice job man!

If you were to collect a ton of health boosts you could probably damage boost the first half of the floor match puzzle in Gobi's Valley. The solution is always the same, so if you memorize it, you can (hypothetically) do less jumps with that than you would with some of the other ones.

Great video! This has always been my favorite game so I love when new content like this comes around.

Ive never played this game nor I have any special connections with it. (Watches video and analyzes everything Dpad has to say about it because he makes it fun.)

*_[SPOILERS]_* Ultimate answer: More than one

This video was a really cool change from your usual types of videos and I think you should definitely do more like this!

Suggestions for removing jumps: Clankers: Jumping for the jiggy on back could be removed by roll-flapping off screw? Gobis: if you do pyramid last, you can quit game instead of jumping out of coffin. You have 13 notes more than you need. Surely some jumps can be cut here, for ex in CCW

One of my favorite genres on KZfaq is "Can you beat (game) if (arbitrary insane constraint)?" so this is a blast to watch lol

Banjo Kazooie has always been one of my favorite games too. I did a casual speedrun of it with my friend a few years back, and was amazed at how much more I learned about the game from doing that. Seeing so much work put into a challenge like this makes me amazed how much we're still getting out of the game over 20 years later. Really enjoyed it!

Me: Today i'm going to sleep early Also me at 3am: How Many Jumps Does It Take To Beat Banjo-Kazooie?

Awesome video! Love seeing people share the love of my favourite game. Goodluck on "how many woah's does it take to beat crash bandicoot"

The sheer loathing you have for rusty bucket bay...you are a true Banjo Kazooie veteran. Ive played that game through 100 percent and the only world that ever kills me it that blasted bay.

At 14:17 you can save a jump. At the top of the pole, neutral jump until you clear the lip and then hold forward and you will land on the platform with the jiggy. Awesome video btw, was fun to see you overcome a lot of tricky situations with ingenuity

"ARE YOU SERIOUS, AM I A JOKE TO YOU?" DPadGamer, 2019

u take the weirdest, strangest and sometimes stupidest sounding things lol n turn them into some really interesting videos idk how the hell u do it lol i mean think about it "how many jumps does it take", thats like askin "how many steps does it take to get to my truck" lol it seems like the most uninteresting shit but again u somehow make it so interesting i want to watch lol please dont stop main videos theyre all great n deff appreciated

This was my favorite game in the world as a kid on the n64, but over the years i have no clue what happened to my old system and games. I just got a series x at the start of december and was so happy to see it there on the list of games included with game pass. Its been my most played game since then.

Panencoek2012 rubbing off some people with his incredible A button challenges

Great video mate - sure looked like a lot of work! I love BK too, it was the first video game I owned. I'm getting a puppy in just over a week which I'm naming Banjo, really keen to replay the game :)

You sir have earned my sub!! Great entertaining video.

6:58 You can skip these jumps over the pipes by walking towards the edge (a critical step, since otherwise you'll just claw swipe off into the water), roll-attacking, and quickly pressing A in midair + another A press for the flutter (if needed)

This video is beautiful. I thought this would be half-assed, but I think there could only be a few more jump saves. I was pleasantly surprised. Good Job!!

Do a sequel with banjo's classic mode in ultimate

Nice video thanks for the shout outs in the stream!

that was really awesome! good job ^^

Great video and a classic game you're one of my more preferred youtubers in minus world.

i think activating the flight pad should count as a jump since banjo jumps high BEFORE kazooie starts flying. And shock pads should be two jumps since the animations has banjo doing a short jump before kazooie does the high jump.

4:46 I spent a good percentage of my childhood gaming time playing this game and I never knew you could actually kill that damn shark

I can't believe that someone actually did this hahahaha nice!

The following is constructive criticism and spoilers. You have been warned. I'll just use this open space to say thanks DPadGamer for a great video. Makes me want to try doing this sometime. At 12:01 the 54th jump can be avoided by running off the edge and rat-a-tat-rap'ing back into the egg breaking it and allowing you to land on top, skipping a jump. Jump: -1 At 13:40 instead of leaving the level each time, just get Sir Slush to throw a snowball at you and then bear punch it for a honeycomb. Simplicity: +1 At 14:20 using somewhat precise movement, you can grab the Jiggy in the tree by jumping off the pillar and up onto the top. Jumps: -1 At 17:20 Nice style points, but you don't need to jump onto Rubi's head. You can just Jump onto the snake's basket. Simplicity: +1 At 19:16 You can skip the first 2 jumps by being damage boosted to the 2nd ledge by the Piranha. Jumps: -2 At 29:18 Doesn't death reset your Jinjo count? I'm pretty sure it does. Jumps: +(1)? (however many it takes to get out of blue jinjo box) Alternatively, use 1 jump to get out of the water after getting the pink Jinjo and get the blue Jinjo last, then death warp (to keep the Jiggy ofc). At 31:21 You don't need to jump to reach that shock jump pad, you can walk off the edge and flutter onto it. Very difficult, but doable. Jumps: -1 At 32:06 The left side of the hive is easier imo but viewers should do what works best for them. Simplicity: +1 At 32:56 Repeating a non-jump. Jumps: -1 At 33:34 All of these jumps can be avoided by doing a flutter into a ground pound near the top of the slope. Jumps: -3 Total: -8 Jumps and +3 Simplicity

This was awesome!!! You earned a sub!

That was awesome, do more videos with challenges like this.

It's nice how you don't make a big deal out of having to jump I like it

This is the content I’m hungry for do thank you for satisfying me.

Watching the Banjo-Tooie video before this one certainly got my expectations too high

Grant Kirkhope’s story about voicing the plants is so funny! “Why would I say 🤬 you in a kid’s game!?”

Nice video bro Keep up the grind

The first Jiggy can be collected if we add to Jump's definition of "Using Jump, Feather Flap Flip, or Shock Spring Jump" the condition "on the ground or in water". If Banjo slides off a ledge while crouching, he can use a Feather Flap Flip while in the air.

In games like Banjo-Kazooie where you play as two characters, you can do a minimal actions with the one of the two characters.

This game is forever imprinted in the deepest depths of my memory

I've watched this video multiple times and I still come back to watch it.

This is so absurd. Love it!

9:34 yeah i don't see the jump and i doubt anyone else did. you were in the clear

Dude, I respect your skills. Awesome

My biggest take away from this video is you can take out the shark with farting eggs. I've played the game innumerable times over 20+ years and I never knew this. ty

So what did we learn today? Me: Banjo can’t win without Jinjos

Fortunately, since a consistent method of furnace fun skip has been found, you won't even need to waste time with the joker spaces. It doesn't save jumps, but it does save time.

4:46 I'm 35, I've been playing this game since the day it came out, and I was today years old when I learned you could kill Snacker.

Another awesome video by Dpad

Loving this!

Banjo knocks down huts or banjo commits war crimes in wherever the hell he is

Well, I know what I’m doing for the next forty minutes

Nice one, I feel like there is quite a bit of optimisation which can be done with this, especially with more glitches, but nice job

Love this game. I'd love to see it get the BotW treatment and have a huge open sandbox world. Nice video, by the way! Amazing patience! :P

You did a fantastic job!

I still love all your content .. been here for a while, banjo kazooie is definitely a favorite of mine

I've loved this game ever since I was a kid, although I didn't beat it until very recently, since English isn't my first language it was kinda tricky when I was 10 lol. Norwegian translations are very rare for games. My guess for how many jumps it would take was 185, that wasn't based on anything it was just a gut-feeling. But I'm surprised to see it was below that, I thought it might even pass 200 for a moment there. But this is a great video, I'll be sure to check out what else ya got. I'm not a huge fan of Banjo-Tooie but I'm absolutely watching that next.

finally! it's Christmas and NOVEMBER.

Ok, here's a nice extension of this challenge. How many jumps does it take to COMPLETE Banjo-Kazooie? Including Stop-n-Swop? Using the Sand Castle codes?

that was a great star war nod. about the sand. XD supped for that

I fucking lost it at "Tetanus Shot Bay" 😂💀 hahahahahaha

DPadGamer: *Anything* Everyone: yes

What is the song playing during the Mad Monster Mansion section? It’s on the tip of my tongue and driving me crazy.

4:46 Oh my god I didn't know you could kill the shark on Treasure Trove Cove. That thing haunted me for years but I can defeat it!

honestly banjo is the best big brother, he loves his sister so much to go on this terror adventue

24:47 you can actually access rusty bucket bay puzzle from mad monster mansion puzzle(but only if you do NOT press the water level 2 button) It might save 1 jump

Would love to see a Banjo-Tooie version of this challenge.... Pterodactyland was an absolute nightmare for me....

It’s so funny to watch Banjo gameplay with Mario music behind it.

You make me realize that if I turn out to be 500lbs I just need to jump on occasion rather than roll to survive life. RIP ankles, I gotta plan

It's worth noting that this only works on XBox Live Arcade because on N64 all notes in a level reset after death. And I think the Jinjos, too.

I love Banjo-Kazooie so much. I know obviously you didn't make it _just_ for me, but thank you so much for making this video.

4:46 You can kill the shark?! MIND BLOWN!!!!!!!

5 phases, the mighty jingoinator counts
