Don't have the game, only seen the intro, but why is Gruntilda's head all robotic looking?

So I have 14 jiggies and is anyone else in awe at the graphics in Nutty Acres? So vibrant and detailed, The music is great as well.
I was curious tho.. Ive been collecting a ton of notes and ive bought every blueprint available (up to this point) is there ever a time when creating your own vehicles is necessary? I currently have 16 of Humbas blueprints.

You'll at least be making lots of modifications if you want trophies, which you'll need to get every last jiggy.

At the start of the game, Banjo points out that none of them were really in good enough shape for a contest, so LOG magically sheds Banjo and Kazooie of their many pounds of extra fat and provides a robotic body to house Gruntilda's decapitated head.

The faint Battletoads pause music during the load screen is so awesome.

Or you can float your shopping cart up there by putting something in the storage area, jumping on top of it, then 'grabbing' the cart itself.

I got it out in just over a second, just by jumping off my vehicle immediately and using the 'grab' function to lift it out of her cart and into mine. Think outside the box!

Just started. I tried to upload the first video of the first TT trophy one:
"Nutty Acres Act 1 - Bangers 'n' Dash" - Which is the stage and event name.
-Cannot upload due to inappropriate language?
WTF? Rare. This is your shit that you wrote!

Apparently the affending word is "Bangers"? What?Sean said:
Otherwise, loving it right now. All the quirky, self-deprecating humour with the old Rare games that I loved.
I love challenges that let you think outside of the box and come up with an easier solution. For example:
Challenge: Collect nuts and bring them to the nut sucker.
My solution:
Challenge: Protect the trophy from flying enemies.
My solution:
44 Jiggies in. This game really is great.
Challenge: Collect nuts and bring them to the nut sucker.
My solution:
Use the sticky ball to pick up the nut sucker, fly it over to the nuts, and suck them all up.
Challenge: Protect the trophy from flying enemies.
My solution:
Put the trophy in a truck and hide out in the volcano until time runs out.
44 Jiggies in. This game really is great.

Has anyone finished Klungo's game yet? I got to the 4th stage, but it was nearing 6am so I was losing it a little 
It's hilariously bad.
I now have 3 small jet engines and 2 big ones a ton of engines as well. I've got about 60 jiggies, and 30+ trophies. So far I've only used custom vehicles, most built from scratch for the challenge, I haven't bought any new blueprints yet.

I fucking loved that mission. I had so many other crazy solutions that were getting me TT trophies, but none were making it even close to the top 10. Then I downloaded a top 10 replay, and when I saw how everyone else was doing it it blew my fucking mind. :lolKevinCow said:

I think it's mainly the price tag pushing me, but I'm close to getting this game...but I really hated the demo. I usually agree with Gametrailers reviews so that doesn't bode well, and it showed theat the challenges don't get much more variety which was my biggest gripe. They were just meh and not really fun, but I did like the vehicle creation--which is obviously a huge point of the game.
Has anyone here not liked the demo but loved the actual game? It doesn't seem like the challenges or anything in the demo is an actual misrepresentation, but despite being a big demo it still limited the creativity you had to work with, which is basically limiting the key feature that I'd imagine makes the game addictive.

So I just put two crates in Mumbo's square thing and talked to him, I assumed it would unpack them one at a time but I got one "reveal" with 4 bumpers, 1 small engine, and something else that I can't remember. Both crates ended up disappearing. I have no way of knowing if putting two crates in at the same time worked or it only unpacked one and glitched/deleted the other one. I'm assuming it unpacked both at the same time, but can anyone confirm that Mumbo does this if you put more than one crate in at once?

This is the biggest hurdle for most people. The challenges don't get repetitive somehow. Becuase they're done slightly differently each time with different requirements and in different areas, how you approach it ends up being different
There were a few people on previous pages who didn't like the demo but have really taken to the full game. The missions in the demo were absolute pants really. A race with a camel boat, and probably the hardest mission in the game and some other rubbish.

Get 100% in Banjo Kazooie. If you already have a N&B save file the Stop n' Swop items are able to be obtained in the original game (the ice key and the various eggs). Once you have them, load up N&B and a cutscene will play for each item you have, showing you the lcoation of the SnS item boxes. Bring them to Mumbo and he will open them up.

k, thanks. I already have 100% in BZ
Does anyone know off the top of their head how many Jiggies you need to beat the game? I'd like to finish it by tomorrow, because I don't know when the next time I'll get to play it will be.
I've got 52 at the moment, so if it's anything above like 70, I guess I can pretty much forget it.

I think you need something to get those statues off the boxes though
. Not sure when you get it.
So far I have the Ice Key and two eggs, not got anything from them yet besides cut scenes.
Stop n Swop probably unlocks stuff in Tooie, but deffo not in Kazooie, as far as i'm aware.

is it odd that in the first 2 hours of playing the game that I have 40 of 57 part crates?

Getting the SnS items doesn't open anything new in BK (as far as I know anyway), aside from the areas where you get the items in the first place (the cave in treasure cove, the pyramid, etc).
In the boxes is
a bunch of purely cosmetic accessories for your vehicles, nothing useful. The only one I have so far is the box you get for the ice key, which gives you a miniature Union Jack flag to put on your vehicle.

You'll get a tool to remove them when completing the last world before the final showdown.
Very cool, I was getting worried for a second there. I just got my 30th Jiggy (achievement unlocked!) and went on an incredible rampage of about 5 achievements in as many minutes. I kinda wish there was a better map because its so easy to miss doors. I really wish I could open up the last 2 levels because im getting a little tired with the ones I have, but I guess the grind is part of the game.

When do you unlock the second Gruntilda fight? I think I may already have access to it but I have no damn clue where it is and I get sidetracked whenever I go lookin' for it. So much stuff!
The full game has a lot of these same issues, but...remember the Crackdown demo? That accelerated level progression was a fantastic idea. Had they limited you to the starter character everyone would have gone "This is it? You're just this weakass guy that jumps and shoots and collects green orbs for no reason?" Banjo would have benefited from a similar specially structured demo rather than just dumping you into the middle of the game like it did, making no real effort to show you what makes the game special. Yeah, you could collect parts and tweak your vehicle, but it didn't really matter. The challenges are simple and you could beat them without tinkering at all.
But in the full game this isn't really the case. The challenges are still mostly simple so far, and you can often earn the jiggies without much tinkering, but earning the trophies isn't always easy. You'll often have to go into the garage and work on your vehicle, and the great thing is you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want. This isn't like some recent sandbox games, where the developer punishes you for trying to clear the mission in a way they didn't intend. You can totally cheat2win if you want, and it's great.
So yeah, if you enjoyed building there is a chance you will enjoy the full game. If you also enjoy exploration and collecting I think it's a pretty safe buy, especially at the price. It feels far more like a 3d platformer than I expected - the structure of GTA3 isn't THAT far removed from Mario 64's, y'know? There isn't an emphasis on jumping but the openness and exploration and secrets are all there, and I love that stuff.
This is long and I'm rambling, but yeah, was baffled and disappointed in the demo, love the full game.
I disliked the demo. It's a mess. The stage chosen was not an ideal introduction, especially with that stupid defense mission. Too big, too overwhelming, the default vehicles handled like ass (not including hi-grip tires was a major mistake). And the tutorials were terribly done, with the near-unreadable font (even on my HDTV), the auto-scrolling text, fucking Mumbo's jibberish, the huge info dump instead of easing you into the game gradually...It's a terrible demo, as many people have already said, so I guess I'm just beating a dead horse.Papercuts said:
