The glitch in RC Pro-Am when suddenly one AI racer gets super speed and drives 3x as fast as everyone else is not exactly fun.

What's the problem? If it's the instant death questions follow this route.
At the first intersection head left until you get the joker.
Backtrack to the music space and go up.
Take the left path until you reach the instant death space and use one of your jokers.
Go left and then down to reach another joker space.
Now just head to the finish using your jokers on the two remaining death spaces.
I like the quizzes in both Kazooie and Tooie. I'm so glad there will be a pre-final boss quiz in Yooka-Laylee.
It's a quiz show. Grunty asks the questions and you have to buzz in before the other contestants. Whoever has the least points at the end of the round is killed.

Is that a near end game thing then like on kazooie.

I had no interest in getting an XB1... the plan was to get a PS4 for Christmas for the family since I want Persona 5 and the Wife wants the last guardian... Then this Rare Replay nonsense happens... Just went out and bought an XB1 and this last night...-sigh- I was never planning on giving Microsoft my money, damn you Rare and your hold on my nostalgia! Damn you!
Completed B-K with 900/900 notes and 100/100 jiggies. Didn't take too long because I've played the game a couple times over the years. It's crazy the stuff you forget, though - I had 100% forgotten that Clanker's Cavern even existed, although random parts of it started to come back to me as I explored.
Now on to Tooie. Or maybe Perfect Dark. Or maybe Ghoulies? I know it's preaching to the choir at this point but it really is crazy how much value there is in this package.

The first few missions of PD hit all of the right nostalgia notes... then playing the story mode for more than that.... Wow that has not aged well. I don't have Gold so I can't play online to find out if that holds up at least. Maybe I'll do a few bot matches.

Rare replied about the jet force gemini glitch
"Hi,
Rare social team here – we’ve already been responding to a few of you on Twitter, but we wanted to post here to offer a bit more detail than 140 characters.
First off, thank you to everyone who has reported this issue, both in this thread and on our social channels. Thanks to your reports and the details provided, our testers have been able to reproduce the glitch described here. Furthermore, we’ve been able to resolve this glitch on two of our accounts by using the following work around:
1. Reload your save game and bring up Jet Force Gemini’s pause screen. You can check on your progress in Floyd missions in the inventory (second page).
2. Use the Map page to return to the location of any Floyd mission(s) where you only have a merit.
3. Replay the mission, earning a bronze, silver, or gold.
4. Use the map page to return to Mizar’s asteroid.
5. Defeat Mizar and complete the final Floyd mission once more.
After completing Mizar’s asteroid with at least a bronze medal on every Floyd mission, the achievement should pop. As mentioned, we’ve been able to resolve this glitch twice by using these steps, so we’re keen to hear if these work for you guys, too. If you are in this state, please let us know if following these steps grants you the achievement. We’ll check in on Monday to see how things are going here, and will continue working on a long-term solution thereafter.
Again, thank you for all of the detail you guys have provided so far. You can reach us any time on our social channels, so please do follow up with us there if you have any more comments or questions."

Thanks for the responses to my Banjo vs Conker question, looks like it's Banjo up first then! FWIW, I do also plan on going through Conker, but that will be later.

I'm getting Rare Replay around the 20th. The only game I've played from this collection is Blast Corps. What am I getting into? Will the awesomeness kill me?
What should I start playing first?
Depends on what you're into. There is a ton of quality, but it is all in different niches. Viva Pinata, for example, is an excellent casual game. Banjo Kazooie is amongst the best collect-a-thon/exploration based games ever made. Perfect Dark is still a very competent if old school FPS (both in design and graphics).
Really, you can't go wrong with just about any of the games... besides Kill Instinct Gold.

Go straight to Battletoads. Don't start other games before you beat it without rewind. Awesomeness will kill you for sure

Like everyone already said, the collection is bursting with quality with its game line-up (especially the NES-N64 era
) with a number of the Xbox/360 games (GBTG, Kameo, Viva Pinata, Nuts & Bolts) surprising you with how good/enjoyable they are . My recommendation is starting with the N64 era (Banjo, Banjo Tooie, Conker, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini with the Modern Control option, Blast Corps) and going into the Xbox/360 era (GBTG, Kameo, Nuts & Bolts). In-between those, jump into the Spectrum/NES games to space out each game (after being Banjo, jump into RC Pro Am for example).
Hope this helps

Do you have a 360? I'm not sure but maybe the 360 saves are not tied to the gamertag? Then I could just send you a 360 save and you can then upload that provided you have XBL Gold

Do you get stamps for 360 games also? Would give me motivation to go back through 360 games even after being completed achievement wise
They are tied to how many achievements your got already; if you got them already, after you go into the stamp section of the selected 360 game, you earn the stamps automatically thanks your 360 profile being used on the X1.
You could still replay the games to get achievements you missed out on or playing 360 games you might have not played too.
You do get stamps, it will go off the achievements already earnt (you can't re-earn achievements)so as soon as you open up the page on rare replay you'll likely end up with loads of stamps already.

Nah I don't have a 360 but thanks for the offer. I tweeted rare about it yesterday and they say they're looking into it so hopefully this can get fixed soon.

I would recommend Battetoads, Banjo, or Kameo. I started off with the early titles myself since they tend to be much shorter but if you insist on not using the rewind feature in Battletoads then you may be in their forever
They're tied to achievements, you need 750GS to get all 10 stamps for 360 games (150GS for XBLA titles)
So if you already got all the achievements in these games, you'll automatically get all the stamps for them.
It's great that they've made a collection with so many different games.
On a scale from 1 to 10(10 being very hard), how hard and frustrating is Battletoads gonna be?

Sounds like a good plan. The N64 was my first console and I didn't have the chance to play those awesome Rare games back then. A good reason to start with them

I changed the camera sensitivity in the settings to make it more tolerable. Not a huge difference, but it helps. Wow, I just remember I last did that 8 years ago. I might re tweak them later.I then played the first level. Feels clunky
Making money is easy. Just get a pinata worth a lot, breed them with romance candy to make things go faster, and sell the offspring. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Trouble in Paradise has a Just for Fun mode that gives you unlimited money, no ruffians/Professor Pester, makes it significantly easier to attract Pinatas and make them residents, amongst other things. If you'd rather play something even more relaxing and stress free.

Man, now I remember why I stopped playing banjo. I'm weird about HAVING to 100% a level before I progress, and I have always only been able to get 8 jiggies on Treasure Xove or whatever it's called. That fuckin snail and the damn pale mane. And I'm too proud to look up a strategy guide.
Another reason why I love Conker so much (which I may be expressing too much but gah damn it was good) is that I never once needed a strategy guide.

Can you still get achievements on that mode?
Don't think so. They would be way too easy to get.

I have become seriously addicted to Viva Pinata: TIP again, and it's a game for which I already got 1000 GS on the 360. I started from scratch again and have an insatiable need to collect 'em all.
God, I love that series. I'd give anything for a new-gen sequel with bigger gardens, etc.

JFG complete! I even beat the best times on the arcade games and got an expert medal on every Floyd mission. It's now in my top 10 N64 games.
You need to get the final TnT across the boats before the missile carrier reaches the first one.

And then Camjo-Z was never seen again. RIP in peace.
You won't beat it in your first day. It's very hard. A 9. Still, I wouldn't call it frustrating. It's not like Ninja Gaiden 6-2 where you have 3-4 enemies attacking you at the same time or Castlevania with having to fight medusa heads and other enemies at the same time or Dark Souls where you have to take on two bosses at the same time. That to me is frustrating. Once you know what to do in Battletoads, it's all very doable. So if you die once in a spot, you're likely to get past it on your next turn and die in another spot. The difficulty is like Contra. It's from a total amount of things that can take your life, rather than being stuck on a specific spot.
I agree with the person that told you don't use rewind. Battletoads is really noteworthy for the challenge. Being challenged is fun. Rewind removes that and makes it just another game.

With infinite lives (which I think is the right way to play it nowadays) it's something around 7-8. Battletoads isn't even hardest in this collection. Snake RnR is fuckin insane.

Fibally figured out the pale jiggy in Treasure Cove. All that is left is 6 very evasive notes and that damn snail. I feel like I've tried everything
