Thanks for all the support over the past six years. You can check out my new channel here: www.youtube.com/@GreyJinjoHouse Also, here's all the characters that I know I missed for this video (there are probably others) - The statues that eat eggs in Gobi's Valley - That purple ghost in Tumblar's shed in Mad Monster Mansion - The dynamite in Glitter Gulch Mine's Ordnance Storage - The Clockwork Kazooie - Terry's babies - The Skivvy going to the bathroom in Grunty Industries - The cooked fish you serve Boggy in Hailfire Peaks - The Mega-Glowbo - The other chickens in Cliff Farm (the ones that aren't Mama Clucker) - The other Little Blubber Pirate Scouts (the ones that aren't Captain Blubber) - The Gruntling Commander - The Showdown Town police officers
I use to not care for Brentilda, until a friend of mine described her in an interesting way. He said, and I quote: “Her sole purpose in this game is to just sh&t talk her sister”
I give Submarine Banjo extra points for being the ONLY transformation in the entire series that can be used in a boss fight and it makes said boss fight a lot more fun since the controls are better than just swimming around normally
They really need to make another one of these games or a good solid remaster of the old two Banjo games. My very first video game was Banjo Kazooie at age 5. It's so close to my heart, like no other video game.
Firstly, I’m glad you went the scripted route for this ranking video, it really works! Great last video. Secondly, your retrospectives (especially Kazooie and Tooie) are some of my comfort videos that I watch very often or listen to while going to sleep. So thanks for those. Good luck with the new project.
Big fan, I found you back in 2022 when TH-cam started pushing a lot of DK content my way with your DK64 retrospective. I really enjoyed your videos. I look forward to the Gray Jinjo
I’m looking forward to seeing the kind of content you’ll be releasing on your new channel! I’ve always found your retrospectives here both entertaining and downright insightful sometimes.
In the end, he truly CloudConnected us all Thanks for a great video finale! Had a great time watching this and remembering all my favorite side characters. Excited for the new channel! Already watched the Pixar one. (also I'm pretty sure I might be the one who enlightened you on the Gnawty in Banjo/DK situation)
I remember getting stuck at clankers cavern because that god awful shark in booty bay scared me enough when I first saw clanker I was convinced he would eat me and it would just sit in the pipe and ponder how to get past him. Took me two weeks before I got brave enough to venture forth and it was furious he was a nice shark lol
can't wait to binge more and more lore and knowledge than ill ever need for old games i loved. Love the content, and im super excited to see where it goes from here! what a fitting send off for an amazing channel.
Can't wait to watch this - I don't often comment before I've finished a video, but only a few minutes in, I've just got to say thank you, CloudConnection. Your channel has been a great source of entertainment, white noise, and a comfort show to come back to and listen while playing games and drawing. From rankings, to challenge videos and reviews, all of it has been excellent. I'm sorry to see CC come to an end, but glad to see you'll continue in a new capacity. Already subscribed to the new channel and can't wait to check out the videos that are already uploaded! But first, to finish this one.
Thanks for the content CC. Your Banjo & DK videos are some of my favorite content on the platform. Glad to see this channel ending with a banger. Best of luck with your new ventures.
6:25 I think it’s interesting that Rare did try to include Tooty in Tooie as she can be seen in very early storyboards for the game’s opening cutscene, but she was probably cut due to well.. being kind of pointless when it came to the games plot since Grunty had a good enough reason to go after the duo without Tooty being a factor. I do have to wonder if the cut Tooty epilogue, had it actually been made would’ve kept her character a little more relevant.
Interesting. I would have preferred her to just be a background character or explained to be on her own adventure rather than “missing” or “arrested by the rubbish video game character police” The adventure she was on could have been a spin off game.
@@Scrubber89 That was the idea for her in the original pitch for Gruntys revenge when it was an AU of Banjo Tooie where she was off on her own adventure offscreen.
Thanks bro for this video !! Took me about 8 hours , on and off to get through cuz of my schedule but I finish it before the day was over ! Thanks king hope we hear from you soon bro
Loved the channel man! I do a mowing business on the side and frequently listen to your videos while on the mower. Commented a few times before, but a Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars would be awesome for your new channel.
Doesn't Dragonda act as a visual indicator of when you'd get damaged by hazardous floors again? Edit: Also does the guy that sometimes shows up in the bathroom of Grunty Industries not count? That was stupidly funny for me as a kid
I think Dragunda does function that way, but IMO it's pretty obvious which areas are hazardous liquids. And yeah I completely forgot about that worker in the bathroom! I think for obvious reasons he has to go to Stinkybunion tier
I don't know if you're working on doing more Lupin the Third videos, but I'd love to see you review more of Lupin TV specials, like Dead or Alive, Episode 0: First Contact, etc.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't find anything offensive about Humba Wumba's character. However, since I'm not Native American, there might be nuances that I miss. If Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie ever get remade, I wonder how they'll handle Humba. Will they strive to make her politically correct and inoffensive, or will they remove her altogether as if she never existed?
I doubt they'd remove her altogether. They downplayed the Native American angle heavily in Nuts & Bolts so they'd probably just go down that road again
Personally that’s why I liked her Nuts & Bolts design better (only character in N&B I can say that for),not only she was less stereotypical she also is more distinctive and had more character than being just the necessary shaman replacement
I’d rather they remove her all together and swap her out for a different character. Her character and design in Nuts and Bolts was so different and diluted that she might as well have been a different Character anyway. Same with Jolly Roger, in Tooie he was a gay man, he was very camp and was in a relationship with what we believe to have been a trans toad. In Nuts and Bolts this was all stripped away. If you have to change a character so much that it doesn’t offend someone then just remove them all together.
Is CloudConnection move to a different channel what’s gonna happen to legacy of? Lupin it’s no more. we are going to miss you on your original channel cloud connection
21:34 You’re a lot nicer to the pumpkin and bee transformation than you were in your banjo kazooie review. You think you were a little too negative back then?
My justification is: while the fish from Kazooie at least makes a noise when you kill it, the big fish remains silent. And if I were to give the big fish character status, then by extension, I'd have to give that status to all the little background fish swimming around JRL - and that'd be too much. Big Fish is a location, but nothing more. Might be arbitrary, but there we are!
"We're not sure what species Mumbo is-" is actually incorrect. According to the instructions, Mumbo was one of the Grublins (the purple dinosaur-looking guys), but he was wooing too many women so Grunty turned his face into a skull.
@@CloudConnection I'm pretty sure there's no official source for what Mumbo's species is, with the closest mention to that being the Rare Revealed video for Banjo Kazooie, where it's stated that Mumbo isn't a Jinjo even though he looks like (and was modelled off the body of) one. Most people believe he's a Grublin due to them being the main villagers of Mumbo's Mountain (presumably Mumbo's home), their visual similarities (red feathers, yellow belly, orange skirt attire), and that the earliest versions of the Grublins had them as light-blue versions of Mumbo's design, so they do share design history at least.
What's wrong with stereotypes lol? People take everything so serious. People showing germans as nazis or are shown in Lederhosen doesn't bother me either cause I know that it isn't the reality. And it's a videogame not real life
What's funny is that I remember the livestreams where you decided to call Billy Bobs "Yeehaw!" which is a nickname that I feel we should call bad guys who seem like cowboy ogres. 😁😁😁 There are definitely a lot of stinkybutts in these games that you do not want to mess with it would gladly put them in a big hole with a flat piece of stone to remember them by. 🪦🌾
Thanks for all the support over the past six years. You can check out my new channel here: www.youtube.com/@GreyJinjoHouse
Also, here's all the characters that I know I missed for this video (there are probably others)
- The statues that eat eggs in Gobi's Valley
- That purple ghost in Tumblar's shed in Mad Monster Mansion
- The dynamite in Glitter Gulch Mine's Ordnance Storage
- The Clockwork Kazooie
- Terry's babies
- The Skivvy going to the bathroom in Grunty Industries
- The cooked fish you serve Boggy in Hailfire Peaks
- The Mega-Glowbo
- The other chickens in Cliff Farm (the ones that aren't Mama Clucker)
- The other Little Blubber Pirate Scouts (the ones that aren't Captain Blubber)
- The Gruntling Commander
- The Showdown Town police officers

I was about to say bee banjo (click clock woods) but then i realised you cannot fight the zubbas when in bee form
The Mr. Jiggy fan base will hunt you down.
Our masterpiece of a character has the best dialogue, design, and story.
Who the fuck is Mr Jiggly
@@jakedanielsen4512 bad autocorrect
It’s nice to know that at least one grey jinjo survived the hag 1 incident.
Lucky to be alive!

Funny, Nuts and Bolts was the first video game I ever played lol. But I just finished 100%ing it like 3 days ago
“Franchises that haven’t had a game in a while”
Hopefully, this means you can still talk about Donkey Kong
There are a few Donkey Kong games that I'd like to cover! More obscure stuff like King of Swing or Konga, or Jungle Beat even
Firstly, I’m glad you went the scripted route for this ranking video, it really works! Great last video.

11:13 He also knew that Banjo and Kazooie were going to beat Grunty up for it. But he probably wanted that to happen.
Thanks Cloud for the amazing content! I'm very looking foward for the future! I'd be there with the new channel you're the best!
42:24
"can we just put them both in bland-jo tier and move on?"
>proceeds to put them in Guh-huh! tier
Damnit I'm a dum-dum
You can tell a grimlet apart from a normal pipe. Grimlets pipe have a orange tint in the inside, while pipes do not
Banjo is the original Himbo and Kazooie is an underrated girl Boss
Loved the channel man! I do a mowing business on the side and frequently listen to your videos while on the mower.
Commented a few times before, but a Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars would be awesome for your new channel.
Chump used to scare the living shit out of me as a kid (because of Bubba)and now you’re telling me he can be defeated?!
Always liked your retrospectives , see you in the new channel.
1:00:43
i just wait until HailfirePeaks to access Stony and therefore bypassing the “BOUNCER” LOL
Man you mentioned so many hilaripus adult jokes I didnt even think about
been here since the dk64 retrospective, and excited to see your next steps.

Crazy finding someone else who named themself greyjinjo
Dingpot and CrocBanjo way too low 😭
I love this ranking!!!! A DK64 one would also be interesting!
Respect for having Ugger high up.
10:40 They should’ve made him the main villain of that game.
"Slappa? More like Slappa my ass!" Hahaha

Not ruling out more Lupin vids down the line, but there aren't any plans to return to it at the moment

1:28:39 Well placed Billy Madison reference 👌

Legacy of Lupin is on indefinite hiatus. Not saying I won't go back to that series at some point but there are no current plans
I think Rare made Trophy Thomas look like an idiot on purpose, like they're in on the joke...
Insert enemy name, "boring".
Wow, powerful and inspiring ✨- 46:09
21:34 You’re a lot nicer to the pumpkin and bee transformation than you were in your banjo kazooie review. You think you were a little too negative back then?
Definitely, but also it's been five years since those videos so some of my opinions would naturally change over that time
What about the Minjos?
Wait! How are the fish enemies from Kazooie characters but the big fish from Jolly Roger is not
My justification is: while the fish from Kazooie at least makes a noise when you kill it, the big fish remains silent. And if I were to give the big fish character status, then by extension, I'd have to give that status to all the little background fish swimming around JRL - and that'd be too much. Big Fish is a location, but nothing more.
Might be arbitrary, but there we are!

@@cultreader9751 it's more a bavarian and austrian thing. Germans usually don't wear that unless they go to Oktoberfest
