Originally released in Japan in 1998, Banjo-Kazooie follows Banjo the bear and Kazooie the bird as they set out to rescue Banjo’s sister Tooty from the wicked witch Gruntilda. Explore expansive worlds, collect Jiggies and Musical Notes, learn new moves and team up with a memorable cast of characters along the way.

The Japanese version is particularly interesting for collectors, featuring the Japanese title Banjo-Kazooie no Daibouken 1 and Japanese packaging, menus and text. It was released in Japan in December 1998, several months after the game’s Western releases.
