Boss Keys returns for a look at Rare’s dynamic duo: Banjo-Kazooie. Their debut game was a standard collect-a-thon platformer with disconnected worlds, but the sequel is more of a Metroidvania with interconnected levels and backtracking. Let’s dig in!

[1] It’s possible to enter Gobi’s Valley before Freezeezy Peak, but there is a jiggy in Gobi that requires a move from Freezeezy so, either way, you’re going to have to return to an older level to get all the jiggies.
[2] Jiggy Tips are accessed via a cheat code in the N64 original, but are easily accessible from the menu on the Xbox Live Arcade remake
