The Xbox 360 remaster of Banjo-Tooie has visual and performance improvements over the Nintendo 64 version. In this version, the player doesn't loose the notes after getting out of a stage, which is a major difference over the original, since it doesn't require the player to get everything again after leaving or dying. It also has a reimplementation of the Stop 'n' Swop feature, using the save data from the Banjo-Kazooie remaster to unlock new content.

Released 29 April 2009 for Xbox 360 by Rare, published by Microsoft Game Studios. Rated G by ACB, 6 by USK.

Story

Two years after the witch Gruntilda was defeated and trapped beneath a boulder, her two sisters arrive with a massive digging machine and set her free, though she has withered into a living skeleton. Bent on revenge, Gruntilda destroys the bear Banjo's home and flees with her sisters to hatch a new scheme. The witches unveil a device that can drain the life force from every creature on the island, which Gruntilda intends to use to restore her rotted body. With their friends in danger, Banjo and his bird companion Kazooie set out across the Isle O' Hags to stop the sisters before their plan is complete.
