Now I would say it's unnecessary to remake something that's only 7 years old, but I'm fine since I did enjoy this game and it's the closest we've gotten to a remake or proper sequel to Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie.

Thank you, friend! I really appreciate the friendly words. :)

“So when Banjo sent me over to you because you had an incredible ability to transform people into different things, I didn’t realize he was talking about, you know... magic.” Dr. Puzz let out a little huff and rubbed her glass dome. She was sitting in Humba’s wigwam, staring up at the tall woman. “I mean, I’m sure you like your little magic tricks to put on a good show, but there must be some kind of device that you put in the pool that transforms people.”

Humba nodded her head. “Oh yes. Humba uses very powerful Glowbo to fuel transformation process.”

Puzz crossed her tentacle arms. “Is that what you call your fuel? Mine’s a triglycerite dicarbon compound, but Glowbo rolls off the tongue a little better. What’s it made of?”

“Glowbo is small, pink creature. Big ears. Can find in small quantities.”

Puzz’s eyes widened. “You use actual living beings to fuel your machine?! That’s awful.”

Humba grimaced. “No machine. All magic.”

“All m-...” Puzz sighed again, standing up. “Okay, you can give up the act for me, Humba Wumba. There is no such thing as magic. Everything has a scientific purpose, and you’re hiding it with your... sneaky mumbo jumbo practices.”

Humba growled. “Me no Mumbo Jumbo. Mumbo Jumbo foul loser. Humba real magic user.”

“What are you even talking about?!” Puzz yelled.

Humba pointed to herself. “Me Humba. Use Glowbo in large pool of great magic. Transform people into many great, useful things.”

“Oh, so you’re telling me that as soon as I take a dip in your stupid little pool that likely has lots of germs in it, I’ll immediately transform into something else. Don’t make me laugh.” Puzz scooted herself forward, took off her shoes, then slowly dipped her feet into the water. “I thought you were a dignified scientist. Not a fraud who relies on “magic”.”

Humba rolled her eyes, knowing full-well the mistake that Dr. Puzz had just made.

Puzz chuckled. “Not even going to say anything? Alright, fine. Then I’ll be on my way.” She slowly removed her feet and was about to put on her shoes when she noticed that her feet... weren’t really her feet anymore. They were bigger. Much bigger. And they had hair similar to that of a bear. “W-... what happened to my feet?! What did you do? Why are they like that?!”

Humba chuckled. “Magic.”

“Oh you stop that!” She stood up, stamped her feet several times, then turned towards the exit. “I gotta go back to my lab and reverse this. You are evil! I ought to turn you in.” Puzz ran out of the tent.

More Yooka-Laylee Characters Revealed!

You know what makes me happier than Yooka-Laylee characters getting revealed on Playtonic’s twitter account? Nothing. Nothing makes me happier. So I’m gunna spread the love by rounding up these new characters and sharing them with you! (more…)

47. “When I picture myself happy… It’s with you.”

“When I picture myself happy... it’ssss with you,” Trowzer said; he was holding a small bouquet flowers at the end of his tail. “What do you sssssay?”

“Oh my, Trowzer,” Dr. Puzz said, having trouble keeping her tentacles from moving around. “I really don’t know what to say. I didn’t realize that you had shown any interest in me.”

“We would make sssssuch a good team, like that chameleon-bat duo. With my wit and you’re intelligence, we’d be unssstoppable.”

Dr. Puzz chuckled. “Is this... just about teaming up, then?”

Trowzer looked away for a moment, bringing the flowers a tiny bit closer. “Well... perhapsssss there’s that... and maybe a bit more.”

Dr. Puzz smiled. She leaned forward and was going to give him a little kiss on the top of his head, but she ended up just bonking him on the head with her fishbowl.

Trowzer recoiled backwards, making a small hissing noise from the slight pain of being bonked. “I’m not sure if that’s a yes or no.”

“I accept,” Dr. Puzz said right after, her tentacles flailing about. One of them grabbed the flowers from Trowzer. She couldn’t smell them because of the glass dome, but she thought they were nice.
