Banjo-Kazooie

Arguably one of the finest games developed by Rare, Banjo-Kazooie followed a Bear named Banjo and his friend, a bird named Kazooie, as they go on a colorful adventure to defeat the evil witch Gruntilda. The game is a perfect example of how fun platforming games can be and the game was a huge success upon release.

To go along with Banjo-Kazooie’s great humor and fantastical levels, the composer, Grant Kirkhope, designed the score so that each song would fade from one style into the next without pause, effectively putting the soundtrack on one continuous loop as players explore each level. In 1998, IGN awarded the game with the Best Music award for that year.
