'''''Banjo-Kazooie''''' is a [[3D computer graphics|3D]] [[platform game|platform]]/[[adventure game|adventure]] [[Computer and video games|video game]] for the [[Nintendo 64]]. It was developed by [[Rare (video game company)|Rare]] and [[publish]]ed by [[Nintendo]] in [[1998]]. The game stars a [[bear]] named [[Banjo Bear|Banjo]] and a [[bird]] named [[Kazooie]] who set out on a quest to rescue Banjo's sister, [[Tooty]], who has been [[kidnap]]ped by the [[witch]] [[Gruntilda Winkybunion|Gruntilda]].

It was originally known by the project name ''Dream'' for [[Super Nintendo]], which staredstarred a boy named Edison who got into trouble with a group of pirates lead by Captain Blackeye. [http://www.bthive.co.uk/media/retrogamer_low_2.JPG] After its code was transfered to the Nintendo 64, it was shown at the [[1997]] [[E³]] as ''Banjo-Kazooie''. The game received a significant amount of [[hype]], partly due to being marketed as the game that would be to the N64 what ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' was to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] in terms of an advancement in [[graphics]]. Originally, it was supposed to be released as [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]]'s big [[holiday]] game for 1997 with a [[Taco Bell]] [[toy]] [[Promotion (marketing)|promotion]] lined up, but Rare needed to delay it several months. Instead, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' took its place, and with Banjo as a character in that game as well, it turned ''B-K'' into an incidental [[spin-off]] of the ''[[Donkey Kong]]'' franchise. ''Banjo-Kazooie'' went on to become one of the most popular games for the console.
