  Banjo-Kazooie is crammed, stuffed, and stomped into a ROM size of 16MB. Superb Technical wizardry.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-IZaebZ43Y&amp;t=194">3:14</a> Kirkhope actually did that on purpose! He based the whole game&apos;s score on dissonant intervals, both as a challenge to himself and to symbolize Banjo and Kazooie&apos;s clashing personalities. He said that on Game Grumps.

  That doubling of a minor tenth is actually something that happens in real life. These are called inharmonic overtones and are very common in the marimba.

  Am I the only one watching who knows nothing about music, at least in terms of reading it, yet is still very intrigued by these videos?

  Kirkhope is a truly brilliant composer. &nbsp;This game has some of the best music across all of gaming I think. &nbsp;The use of different instrumentation to reflect different environments makes the music just as immersive as the visuals.
