Summary

The Xbox 360 remaster of Banjo-Kazooie has visual and performance improvements over the Nintendo 64 version. In this version, the player doesn’t lose the notes after getting out of a stage, which is a major difference over the original, since it doesn’t require the player to get everything again after leaving or dying.
