Default My Favorite Music in Banjo-Kazooie - November 64 - Nov 6th 2022

My Favorite Music in Banjo-Kazooie

As I'm sure you'd come to expect from a game named after two musical instruments, you'd imagine the game would have great music. And you're correct. Much like many games on the Nintendo 64, Banjo-Kazooie is up there as far as my favorite soundtracks from games of that era. What's not to love? Every level has it's own uniqueness as far as the music goes while also fitting with the theme of the level so seamlessly. I think I also mentioned the music in a previous post as well and much like my favorite level, this answer can also change depending on when it's asked.

This is an interesting one to think about though because for me, there's really only one way to answer it. Which song pops into my head more often? Which one do I find to be the most catchy while also fitting the theme it represents. Well funny enough, the answer isn't even a level. It's the theme for Gruntilda's Lair.

I can't think of many other songs from this era that have managed to stick in my head even years after playing the game originality. Something to be said about a theme being able to stay with you for so long. It's not just the fact that the song is catchy. It changes to fit your current situation whether you're entering a new level or you're just exploring the lair. It always plays when you're walking around so I suppose hearing it played over and over again cemented it in my brain. But I'm not complaining. I love the theme for the lair because it just fits so perfectly with the whole theme of the game and I can't imagine the game without it.
