The Xbox 360 remaster of Banjo-Tooie has visual and performance improvements over the Nintendo 64 version. In this version, the player doesn't loose 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. It also has a reimplementation of the Stop 'n' Swop feature, using the save data from the Banjo-Kazooie remaster to unlock new content.
