History

Banjo-Kazooie was originally going to be called Dream for the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System). It was supposed to star a boy named Edison who owned a wooden sword and got into trouble with some pirates led by Captain Blackeye. It was supposed to star a rabbit that looked like a man, a dopey dog and a bear (Banjo). Later the game then starred Banjo.

Banjo-Kazooie was re-released on the XBox LIVE ARCADE, as Banjo-Kazooie, now utilizing the dropped feature Stop 'N' Swop with Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts,and with crisper graphics.
