Banjo-Kazooie: Ranking Every Level From Worst To Best

One thing I will give Bubblegloop Swamp is that it has probably the best transformation in the game. Alligator Banjo is the only form of Banjo that can attack, which adds an extra layer of convenience to the gator-only sections. Sadly, the rest of this level is pretty underwhelming.

To start, the music is easily the least memorable in the game. Not bad by any stretch (Grant Kirkhope is a damned genius), but the least catchy for sure. Furthermore, this level has not one, but two quicktime Jiggy missions.

While both can induce aneurysms, the worse of the two is easily the one that requires Banjo to move quickly over a very narrow strip of land to reach a Jiggy in under 10 seconds. If he falls off, not only does he suffer fall damage, but he also lands in piranha-infested waters, invariably leading to more damage taken.

Also, is it just me or are the Wading Boots kind of lame? They slow Banjo down, they make it harder to jump, and most of them don't last long enough to get through bigger sections of piranha-water. Useful, sure, but bland compared to Banjo and Kazooie's other abilities.

Oh, and Mr. Vile can go f**k himself.
