Marketplace Demo

This is a sub-page of Proto:Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.

A demo for Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts was released onto the Xbox Live Marketplace on October 29, 2008, less than a month from the game's release.
This demo is a cut-down version of the final game, with the player only having access to Showdown Town Square and the first act of Banjoland, which takes the place of Nutty Acres.

Differences#

General#

• Upon booting the game up, an epilepsy warning will appear before the company logos.
• The title screen fly-over takes place in Banjoland instead of Spiral Mountain.

• The player can't save their game in the demo, nor can they take photos.
  • The player can still save any vehicles they make though.

Multiplayer#

• The host is prevented from changing options and only two challenges are playable in the demo, "Boaty Banjo-Brawl" and "Queen of the Knoll".
  • The latter uses the "Fast" Banjoland Challenge theme in the demo, rather than the final's "Bonus" theme.

Intro Cinematic#

• Upon starting the demo, the intro cinematic will start from Showdown Town when Banjo and Kazooie come through the Spiral Mountain door.

Showdown Town#

• A red barrier surrounds the Square, restricting access of Showdown Town to just the Square and L.O.G.'s Factory.
• Only two acts can be unlocked, with the second act requiring four jiggies instead of just one jiggy.
  • Upon entering the Act 2 door, the demo will play a promotional video before booting you to an end screen.
• Several of the Mumbo Crates have changed positions & contents, including ones that are typically out of reach in this demo.

• A couple of lines have been changed for the demo.

Mumbo's Motors#

• Only two of the Vehicle Guides are available to view, those being the two "How To Build" videos.
• The player can't paint their vehicle in the demo, attempting to will display the following message:
  • "Eekumbokum! Paint not cheap. Player need to buy full game to use paint shop!"

Banjoland Act 1#

• The Trolley has been altered to include a second engine and fuel unit.
• There are four jiggies to obtain here instead of three in the final.
  • The challenge "Ice to See You" isn't present in the demo, while "You'll Go Blind, You Clanker" and "Park Prix 1" are.
  • Two additional challenges are present, "The Referee's An Aardvark" and "Land, Sea, Not Air". The latter of which is hosted by Bottles in the demo, instead of Klungo in the final.
    • The dialogue lines were also changed for "Land, Sea, Not Air" to reflect the change in host.
