Banjo-Tooie
Banjo-Tooie is the sequel to the game Banjo-Kazooie, both released for the Nintendo 64 console. The characters are the same as in the original; Banjo and Kazooie fight the witch Gruntilda along with her sisters. The game was released in 2000 by Rare.

Supporting that conclusion is the fact that some of the most famous unreachable items in Kazooie reappear in Tooie in places where they can be reached through normal gameplay, appearing in special "Banjo-Kazooie Cartridges."
