So I was awful at finding my way in games as a kid, meaning I didn’t make progress in this until adulthood. What made me get over this was finding out you save Jingaling and Bottles later. After twenty years of thinking they were perma-dead
This scared me so bad as a kid, I actually abandoned this game for years until yesterday. It was one of the things that I genuinely feared alongside Sonic.exe.
really trying to dissect what made this guy terrifying for everyone.. i think its a combination of him being invincible with how juxtaposed he is to the rest of jinjo village. not to mention that sound he makes, while goofy in retrospect was pretty unnerving because of how out of place it is, i dont think its ever used anywhere besides here. not to mention the area he's in is giving off these obscure, unknown area vibes that games of this era could have. interesting stuff.
when i was a kid i was too scared to go in here to see what happens. i noticed one day i went in by accident and realized he talks but i never had the courage to stay in long enough to find what he says
this was genuinely scary. he's unkillable and deals hard damage. not to mention he's a zombie who's unchained, so he could potentially leave and cause havoc if he wanted to.
@@OmegaChase1002 that's a good point. As a kid before I got to the parts he warned me about, I always just assumed he was babbling nonsense until I got to the parts he mentioned and his advice came in handy. Then I felt bad realizing he was trying to give me advice even in his zombie state.
Im amazed to see that so many people were terrified at this as children meanwhile i loved it as a kid 😂 Something about the gray gloomy atmosphere and the music and jis moans mixed together that kept me hanging around for like a whole 15 minutes
It has a very mysterious and unique ambience to it, I'll give it that. It was also cool how his dead pet's rapidly blinky eyes stared into the distance at a weird angle as it laid on top of its own ashes lol. I mean there is a reason why I recorded this section of the game and uploaded it up here, it's a very interesting part of the game.
I have quite the story to tell about this so of course grew up with a Nintendo 64 and I had this awesome game Banjo Tooie but then I found this place the zombified throne room and had this giant zombie King walking around in circles and it was invincible it scared the living poop out of me I was so scared of that thing I thought it actually lived in my room and I didn't go in my room for months so my mom and dad forced me to get rid of the Banjo Tooie game for good
This is literally just like when plankton turned bikini bottom into planktopolis and turned everyone into slaves with mind controllling bucket helmets! I was quite terrified of those 2 as a kid, but when I reached adulthood, I could handle them no problema!
@@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32 Yeah, it sucks, it would be soo cool if we could see a death cutscene where he stays down for like 10 seconds, than gets back up.
I like how he can still talk even as a zombie also Warning if your a completionist GO HERE IMMEDIETALY AFTER THE CUTSCENE because in the jukebox you can miss this song if you revive him, also i like how he doesn't even become a threat to the village he doesn't even attack even though he hits hard, and he doesn't even try to rescue the jingos AND he just knows the bosses, AND the music is terrifying in zombie form, AND when we turn him back hes like "yeah lifes fun as a zombie but not as fun as being a jingo i guess so thanks" but hes a sick and cool king hes the only adult who should legally say "yo" and "wassup" he didn't deserve anything, also if hes the king of the jinjos then who the hell is the Mighty Jinjonator?
I am not too familiar with Dark Souls 2, tragic I know, I will buy it on steam though soon. It's possible, especially if there are elements such as King Vendrick becoming zombified during his boss fight. The Banjo-Kazooies series were, and still are, really popular in Japan, and the game company that made Dark Souls 2 is Japanese, so the developers could have taken inspiration from aspects of Banjo-Tooie.
He also has dialogue about Terry and the Minjos. It's pretty unique that he foreshadows the bosses.
I've literally been terrified of this for 20 years. Since I was 7 years old. Thankfully, this video finally helped me get over it.
Now you can rest easy knowing that the zombified Jingaling’s terrorful reign over you has ended. :-)
This game still terrified me, and I’m 24. I guess it’s because when I first played it, I was real young, and the game was... Quite dark.

You’re not alone brother. As a kid going into the throne room terrified me. Now as a 25 year old it’s not a big deal, but it’s definitely still creepy
The sound he made scared me so much as a kid that I cried anytime I heard it😂😂
Same thing, this scared the shit out of me when I was a kid
I feel you
I'm too
Same here I’m still lows scared of him now that I’m an Adult that Zombie King is just too creepy & always will be till this very day😂😭😳😧😨😰😱🧟♂️

Zombified Jingaling is a certified creepy pasta of its own...
At least you have no reason to go in there with him.
“old king coal, he’s a right one”
hahaha that’s soooooo British 🇬🇧 😅

I think the reason he doesn’t leave is because he’s in a deep trance, still pretty scary.
I think its cuz his good side is still in there somewhere. Its why he gives you hints and warnings.
I remember playing this as a kid and this gave me nightmares. I even get chills to this day

@@OmegaChase1002 That makes it a bit more unnerving, kind of like a less tragic version of the final boss in Hollow Knight.

For a zombie he's still pretty chill
Welcome fellow travelers who, like me, decided to revisit a childhood nightmare
I hope you enjoy your stay!
I was 13 when this game was released and I was still creeped out by King Jingaling!
This both freaked me out and made me sad. Jingaling and his pet didn't deserve to get blasted
I was traumatised by his transformation (and the noises he makes, and the music) when I was a kid
When I first ented it, I was scared back in the 1990s
Haha, I concur with you. BT was released in the year 2000 btw but yeah this was really scary for me as a kid.
Poor guy!
Poor Jingaling
Lmao this scared me when I was a kid
stil scared of this and am 39 never learned how to unzombify him.
Los peores sueños de terror fueron con el
Confirmo

I don’t blame your parents tbh, I assume after they got rid of it the fear went away? Also, have you since played Banjo-Tooie in your adulthood?
Awww, that's so cute!
Cool
nice
i had nightmares for days after playing banjo tooie for the first time hearing this i have no idea why
You were not the only one, this scares many newcomers to the game.
@@SxVaNm345 I was one of them without a doubt. Especially since darker elements were added in addition to this scene here...
That scared the crap out of me back then.

Bro i used to be scared as shit of this when i was younger i even had nightmares ow
You’re not the only one, scary stuff
@@SxVaNm345 Do you feel bad and sorry for him?
@@dr.robotico7879 I did feel sorry for him, but luckily King Jingaling got revived in the end with his kingdom intact.
... what happens if you try to kill him before reverting the curse?
I’ve tried with grenade eggs, but he does the same motion as when you attack him normally, no damage done.
@@SxVaNm345 I'm assuming this would also apply to dragon Kazooie as well. Damn
@@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32 Yeah, it sucks, it would be soo cool if we could see a death cutscene where he stays down for like 10 seconds, than gets back up.
Nothing in gaming has ever gave more fear than zombified king jingaling oh God now im imagining a zombified bottles walking around spiral mountain lol

Do you think Dark Souls 2 King Vendrick was inspired by Jinjo King? 🤔

Real chance lol
@@Forkontheleft Your pfp looks familiar..
You know...this partnered with the mention of Gruntilda's scary striptease from the first game are really out of place in Banjo Kazooie
Does anyone know how to beat this guy? 🙈
He is unbeatable
King Vendrick
