Win Banjo-Kazooie Stuff – Enter Our Uber Xbox 360 Giveaway! *Closed*
Author: Rees | Date: April 18, 2009
Update: This competition is now closed! Keep checking back for more competitions in future!
As you may have heard, Banjo-Tooie is coming to XBLA soon, and thanks to our good buddies at RARE we have a big haul of Banjo-Kazooie prizes to give away in celebration. That’s right, all this could be yours, completely free, just by entering our competition!
Here’s what we have to give away:
- The original Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade release). This is the recent update of the critically acclaimed top-selling N64 action platformer, featuring updated graphics and achievements. Released in December 2008, the game also allows certain in-game items to be used in the Xbox 360 exclusive Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts – which we’re also giving away!
- Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts was released in November 2008 and is a vehicle-centric 3D action platformer game. We played this game at Eurogamer last year and it was a ton of fun, and the integration with the original Banjo-Kazooie just makes it even better! This is a brand new copy of the full retail game.
- Finally, we have LOG’s Lost Challenges, a downloadable challenge pack for Nuts & Bolts. Released a few weeks back, the DLC adds multiplayer modes, challenges, and 250 potential achievement points for you to have a crack at.
Whew! That’s quite a haul, I’m sure you’ll agree. Not only that, but we have two of everything to give away, so two lucky winners will get their hands on everything you see listed above. All you need to do is comment below telling us why you think you should win – the winner will be the funniest and/or cleverest answer. In the event of no funny or clever answers being submitted, the winner will be picked at random. Please be sure to enter a valid email address as this is how we will contact the winners (email addresses and other personal details will never be displayed on the site).
Make sure you get your entries in by April 29th, the release date for Banjo-Tooie on XBLA… And keep your eyes open for a Viva Pinata competition coming soon!

I think I should win as my bro has the game and never lets me on, I bought an Xbox last week and have 2 games only.
Please
I would love to win these games as I have been playing them personally for over ten years and would love my son and daughter to get into them as much as me!!
Many thanks,
Mike
I think I should win as i’ve no idea what this is about.
Hi Don,
Sorry if we didn’t give enough information. We’re predominantly a gaming site so assume that everyone knows about all this stuff in great detail, but we’re getting a lot of traffic on this one from “normal” non-gaming enthusiast types, so I’ll give a better explanantion here. I appreciate that not everyone is as big a nerd as we are
The games that are up for grabs are:
Banjo-Kazooie. This is a game that was originally released on the Nintendo N64 console back in 1998. It’s recently been re-released for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 as a downloadable game. The game features Banjo, a bear, and Kazooie, a bird, as the two main characters (hence the weird name!). It’s a platform game, which involves lots of jumping around, collecting things, and completing puzzles. Click here for some more information.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. This is the latest game in the same series and is a full retail game for the Xbox 360 (not a downloadable game – you can go down to a shop and buy it in a proper box). It’s main feature is a vehicle creator which allows players to create their own weird and wacky vehicles to use to complete the game’s missions. More information here
LOG’s Lost Challenges DLC for Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. A pack of extra missions and features for the above game.
I hope that clears it up for everyone. Thanks for all the interest in this, and we have a few more competitions in the pipeline so don’t go away!
This sounds like a great deal, I wouldn’t want to pass this one up. I just rented Nuts and Bolts yesterday and so far, I love the game! It would be great to win this set because at some point, I will have to return the game
BTW, I love the work you guys are doing here on Team Teabag. Keep it up!
Thanks for your consideration!

Wow, what a great contest, I’d hate to pass this one up. I just rented Nuts and Bolts yesterday and so far, I LOVE the game! At some point I’m going to have to return the game so that’s a little disappointing. It would be really great to win this neat package so I can continue playing the game. BTW I love what you guys are doing here on Team Teabag. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the consideration.
-Adam
What? You are giving away Banjo & Kazooie merchandise? Whatever happened to Gruntilda Winkybunion’s products eh?
Winkie’s Wobbling Waxed Warts spring to mind (nerds can’t get enough of ‘em) or my….I mean her Warped Wombat hair pieces (attractive on any man I’ll have you know).
Team teabag, shmeebag! Get your act together chaps and offer up some quality products, ahem, Banjo and Kazooie are not Nintendo’s only celebrities, however, I will accept your ‘prize’ as compensation for hurt feelings on my part, Yours Forever, Grunty
I remember Banjo and Kazooie on the N64,
Collecting all the Jiggys to get the highest score,
Saving Tooty was the aim of the game,
But getting 100 Jiggys was the real claim to fame,
Grunty with her game show did their best to knock me out,
But I was mates with Mumbo; that gave me the clout,
Bottles did annoy me – this I must admit,
And I often yearned to give him a Wonderwing hit,
But he only tried to assist you in your quest,
The irritating little rodent did his level best,
It was massive on the 64 – on the 360 it’ll be jumbo,
So accept my little rhyme and let me play again with Mumbo!
i think i should win Nuts and Bolts to make up for the few screws i have loose! ^-^
Hey!
I think I should win, because I never could enjoy these games! From all what I heard about them, from friends or in the internet, it’s just a brilliant series. And I guess there’s no other game, that got such a big hype as Banjo-Kazooie with the Stop’n'Swop feature.
I’d go mad if I’d win. =’)
I’d just like a definition of the word “employee” thanks!
Well, you have articles published on the site… So I think that puts you in the ‘empolyee’ bracket :-p
Here ya go!
Everything except the part about money.
I think I deserve the prize because a couple of weeks ago, I called up Rare to discuss with them the secret of Stop ‘N’ Swop. I’ll let you listen to the call and get your opinion on how funny/interesting it is:
http://www.mediafire.com/?w4wdaah5yzz
There’s the download link. Enjoy!
Also, if they do give me that free download code for Tooie, I won’t be able to reap the benefits of Stop ‘N’ Swop without the original Banjo-Kazooie on my Live! That would suck majorly.
Thanks bro.
i should win because i want to be a winner haha
i should win because im one hoopy frood who always knows where his towel is
I should win as i put the ban in banjo kazoie as i have recently been baned from a forum!
i would love to win this as a surprise for my son as he keeps asking for an xbox heres hoping
I should win these because I never win stuff, and it would really make my day.
I’ve never played any of the banjo games… The resulting constant mockery by family and friends has reduced me over the years to this shallow, failure of a man, as I do nothing but browse the web all day trying to win free swag to compensate.
So… yeah, this would be nice…
i think i should win this as i am stilling paying for last christmas and with the credit crunch it dont help and would make an excellent prize for my child s birthday
I think I should win because Banjo-Kazooie is awsome and I want the new dlc, LOG’s Lost Challenges!
Well think I should win this great pack because I’ve always been a fan of Banjo and Kazooie, I’ve every game for the N64, and recently purchased the game from the UK since It isn’t available in my home country (Portugal), and since I cannot afford the DLC or the Arcade games, I think this should be a big opportunity to win something for once in my life.
Someone has to win so it might as well be me
I think i should win because North Dakota and chocolate bunny rabbits with sprinkles on top said so… Oh yeah and also because i have 5 dollars
I think I should win because no matter how you investigate my family tree you will never find an employee of Team Teabag, Rare and Microsoft in it. And the other reason why I think I should win its because my younger brother looks like Banjo.
I used to play this for hours on the N64 as a girl gamer it really appealed to me.I would love to win as i haven’t played for years since my brother sold his N64 and thus put a stop to me playing anymore (I’m sure he did it on purpose!).Anyways i have an xbox360 and I’m currently avoiding all the man testosterone filled war games out there.
Maybe I shouldn’t win but personally I think this quote from Gruntilda sums everything up!
“The prizes on this stand bring joy, from Tooty down to cuddly toy!”
I’d love to win and play this with my kids. Summer is coming up and school will be out!
I think I should win because I have lost my best friend to this crazy world of Banjo-Kazooie,She loved me up till then,Now she is chatting like mad on her X-Box 360 to other friends who don’t know that she has lost her nuts & bolts & has a screw loose like me!
Teamteabag let her see that I care about her & choose me as a winner, If I win she will know I am in it with her!
I think that I should have this why because everyone thats everyone needs stuff like this
I think I should win because it would be a darned good excuse to go out and get myself a shiny new xbox. never had one, didn;t want one until i saw this luscious bundle and so badly wanted to make it mine
My brother has a ps3 and i have to ‘bargain’ with him to be allowed a go on it! For example if I want half an hour on Little Big Planet (my fave game at the mo) I have to agree to play something horribly boyish such as Call of Duty for an hour first!!! Its true torture!Sometimes I even have to play real life army games to earn my turn!Not what a teenage girl wants to do in her spare time. If I were to win this it would be serious payback time!Pleeeeaaase pick me x
I think I should win as I clicked on this page by mistake so it must be my destiny to be a winner – There can be only one!…and it’s me
I think I should win because my OH is always playing FIFA on our PS3, my DD1 is solving puzzles on the DS and DD2 is head banging with her guitar on the wii. All I can do is play by myself, so please send the prizes my way and help save my rabbit from dying on me!
I think i should win because i was working on this game at rare a long time ago, but left early in development and havent had chance to catch up on it since it was released. Would be nice to see how it turned out i guess.
I should win because I am the BIGGEST Kanjo-Bazooie fan ever!
Seeing as how the little bear is clearly suffering from severe rhinoplausibalisticism, you should send those games over to see me A.S.A.P.
I can’t guaranteee that the bird will be saved, but me and my crack team of diagnosticians are the only ones who have a chance of saving the bears life.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Gregory House
I would like to create an entry for the “cleverest” answer.
69 + 84 / 3 * 14 + 71 + 805 = 918.
I have never played before but from what I have read I should!!!
if i win everyone that entered should check e bay as i will be selling my win to put towards a piano!
I think I should win because I seriously need cheering up. I had an accident on a trampolene o Easter Sunday and I have had to remain on the sofa with my leg in plaster ever since. I wouldnt mind but we were staying with y parents at the time – my Dad can`t drive so I had to pay £97 for a taxi from Frinton On Sea to Bromley – a new game may convince me that `something good comes out of every situation` and stop me from becoming bitter and twisted – or more bitter and twisted tan I already am! lo
I think I deserve your pity because I’m neither funny nor clever (and I smell a bit too)
OK – I am not clever bue here is an attempt to be funny-
What flowers grow on your face
Tulips (Two Lips!)
Well it might raise a smile, and maybe give me a chance of winning this game for my daughter!
I would love to win this as I live in a really isolated area with a two hour journey to the nearest town, so can’t go shopping very often so a win here would be absolutely.
Why should i win? a hard question…mmm.. well, because i have been such a good person, i love Banjo-Kazooie Stuff and because i dont have too many games to play, and here in Mexico we have swine influenza so we should stay on home until May 6th, and i would get bored if i dont play something, and i need to forget a little bit, try to relax about this epidemic issue, thanks you
I really think i should win Banjo-Kazooie.
Because it makes me go Cooooooie.
Crazy Lady, Game Player to.
Wants to play some games with you!
Can you believe i still have an N64
Which sometimes i play as im a little poor.
So check out my reason and please pick me.
If i win some goodies i will be as happy as can be!
I would really love to win banjo kazooie.
I have also played the other two on nintendo 64 and loved them. (completed both)
Games are really expensive and i never have money to buy myself a littlle treat from time to time.
I want to see what the big fuss is about with the xbox 360.
PICK ME TO WIN PLEASE i will be very grateful
My son’s birthday is next week and I bought him an Xbox but I’ve got no money left for the games. He’ll be 6 and would really love this one!
Why I want to win?
Come on I’m from Germany and I think the British own us something for being able to come every year to the Oktoberfest (and to forget the rainy weather)
Nah just kidding, but you got to agree it’s a nice argument (and a hell of a nice festival)
So if I win, call me back in september (it’s in september although it’s called Oktoberfest) and I’ll pay you a beer in return
(sorry for my vocabulary/grammar or any other faults)
greetings from Munich
I see that you want clever or funny comments. Do you think that I’m clever for spotting the deliberate mistake in your competition is that the winner will be drawn on 31st April? When I went to school, there were only 30 days in April.
I would like to win for purely selfish reasons as I have been made redundant from two jobs in as many months and I’m bored of the games I have with all this spare time on my hands I need something new to do and can’t afford to buy anything!!
Do I get the sympathy vote!!!!!
I SOULD WIN BECAUSE THIS TOOK BLOODY AGES!

I would love a copy of Banjo
so help me out with it please
I get confused with jiggys and jinjo’s
I’m sure if I played it would ease
I’ve not got my own wrench
or a mumbo motors car
But if I could be Lord of the game
I’m sure that I would go far.
My sister is frightfully witchy
she steals all my computer games
I don’t want to come over all bitchy
but she’s driving me slightly insane
So help me out here TEAM TEABAG
and save me from an awful fate
my sister is a terrible hag
and to win would be just great!
Banjo is a boss
