Banjo-Kazooie (universe): Difference between revisions

The '''''Banjo-Kazooie'' universe''' ({{ja|バンジョーとカズーイの大冒険|Banjō to Kazūi no Daibōken}}, ''Banjo and Kazooie's Great Adventure'') refers to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series' collection of characters, stages, and properties hailing from the series of platformers created by the UK-based development studio [[Rare Ltd.]] The games feature the titular duo, the bear [[Banjo]] and the bird [[Kazooie]], collecting various items in sandbox-like environments in order to progress. They are often considered to be the most popular and recognizable titles Rare has ever developed, alongside the original ''[[Donkey Kong (universe)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series and ''[[GoldenEye (universe)|GoldenEye 007]]''. Originally a second-party Nintendo franchise, the series and its developer have remained under the ownership of [[Microsoft]] since their acquisition on September 24th, 2002.
