History AwesomeMusic / BanjoKazooie

** The [[https://youtu.be/TchLi2IcEfg remix]] on ''Re-Jiggyed'' uses multiple 8-bit soundfonts to replicate the rhythm of the song, making it sound like a masterclass composition straight off the UsefulNotes/Commodore64.

** All four renditions are remixed in the [[https://youtu.be/tbb7rmOJT70 Re-Jiggyed rendition]] into a chiptune that would fit right in with the likes of ''VideoGame/ConkersPocketTales'', showing just how good Rare tunes can translate to the likes of the UsefulNotes/GameBoy.

Not only does the original game boast irresistibly catchy melodies that have many players almost subconsciously singing along, but Grant Kirkhope is a master of the VariableMix, with the hub theme and all nine level themes shifting instrumentation and tone to fit different areas. Interestingly, all of the main level themes have either C major or C minor as their main key.

** [[https://youtu.be/dx3rA7VZduU The main level theme]] makes first rate use of OminousPipeOrgan and stock horror film sound effects (hooting owls, howling wolves, croaking frogs) to complement the Gothic horror atmosphere of the level beautifully. If that's not creepy enough, how about a [[https://youtu.be/uYjCA7oSW4o variation]] with a bit more ForDoomTheBellTolls? The ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNmm1kIwZlM version]] swaps the stock-horror noises with a faster tempo and a haunted chorus to give your brawls some extra "boo"!

* The [[https://youtu.be/pGWwe4OysKA Banjo-Kazooie theme]] is the first tune you hear when you fire up the game, and provides the series with one of its most prominent {{Recurring Riff}}s. Its arrangement here for banjo and kazoo from the title characters, piccolo from Tooty, and saxophone, xylophone, and violin from Mumbo Jumbo dials up the energy level to get the player excited for the adventuring and exploration that awaits our heroic bear and his loudmouthed avian companion.
** From Masafumi Takada, the guy behind the music for the first two ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' games and the ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' franchise, we get [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tMGMq3p86k this]] remix for ''Ultimate''.

** Who would [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSNBOQSe_tQ remix]] this song for ''Ultimate''? Why none other than '''''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts Yoko]] [[Music/YokoShimomura freaking]] [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigi Shimomura]]!!'''''

* [[https://youtu.be/YNUOUmSLrgg Mr. Patch]]'s theme. Even more epic with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61ln6S3CK3w this metal remix]].

* The Grunty Boss Battle [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin aptly titled]] [[https://youtu.be/oRid89m3G8U "The Final Battle"]]. A long, drawn out, fast-paced BossRemix of the lair theme and its variations which ''perfectly'' conveys the magnitude of the fight. For added awesome, try this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fStWZpeK4-k metal remix]] of the theme.
