🎙️ Podcast Episode: Feathers, Frogs & Frostbite – Banjo-Kazooie’s Mid-Game Mayhem! 🐻🐦❄️

This week on Did U Play That?, we're diving beak-first into three of the most iconic worlds in Banjo-Kazooie on the Nintendo 64: Treasure Trove Cove, Bubblegloop Swamp, and Freezeezy Peak! From soaring over shark-infested waters to navigating muddy mazes and sledding through snow-covered slopes, we’re breaking down what made these levels such unforgettable parts of Rare’s legendary platformer.

We’ll talk about the charm and challenge of each world—whether it’s snatching Jiggies from the clutches of Snacker the shark, dealing with oversized frogs and tricky platforming in the swamp, or braving the icy climbs and snowball-throwing snowmen in the wintry wonderland of Freezeezy Peak. Plus, we’ll share some of our favorite (and most frustrating) memories from these vibrant, puzzle-packed stages.

So grab your red feathers and gold notes—it’s time to revisit the mid-game magic of Banjo-Kazooie!

Plus, we’ll discuss the game's quirky charm, from its exaggerated player animations to its memorable, if slightly offbeat, soundtrack.
