Banjo Kazooie - Minimum Moves Tool Assisted Demonstration (LOTAD)

Version with commentary:    • Banjo-Kazooie Minimum Moves Low Optim...  

This demonstration shows the game being beaten in the minimum amount of moves from Bottles - 5 out of 18 - including tutorial moves from Spiral Mountain. This run is on the US version for additional difficulty (although no additional moves). This is 3-4 moves less than the theoretical best for runs without tool assistance.

The five moves collected are high jump, feathery flap, beak buster, eggs, and flight. Among many other things, the first two are the best way to reach the lair with the broken bridge, beak buster is needed to raise the water level in the Lair, and eggs and flight are needed to beat Gruntilda. Most notable moves skipped are talon trot, flap flip, shock spring jump, diving, beak bomb, climbing, and rat-a-tat rap.

As is standard in modern Banjo tool-assisted demonstrations, position microadjustment codes were used to help with float clips/resets - everything shown here is possible without them, but they cut many months off the process of creating this.
