Banjo-Kazooie stars Banjo the bear and Kazooie, a Breegull, on a cooperative adventure to, in classic Nintendo fashion, rescue a kidnapped loved one: Banjo’s sister Tooty. Here’s the game’s official description from Nintendo:

It all starts when the wicked witch Gruntilda kidnaps Tooty, Banjo’s little sister, and Banjo and Kazooie set out to bring her back—venturing from Spiral Mountain, along the shark-infested coastline of Treasure Trove Cove, through the icy perils of Freezeezy Peak, and beyond. But with Kazooie spending most of her time inside Banjo’s backpack, they’re like two heroes in one! Although they might have a few quarrels, the pair can work together and overcome any obstacles. You can now join them as they journey to a world full of magic and adventure.

Since Banjo and Kazooie’s debut on N64, developer Rare has created a mix of sequels and spinoffs starring the duo. There are also sequels Banjo-TooieN64 and Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty’s RevengeGame Boy Advance and the kart racing-themed game Banjo PilotGBA also supports this.
