The game was originally being developed under the title "''Project Dream''" after Rare had finished ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and was to be released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]; the game would have starred a young boy named Edison trying to stop a group of pirates led by Captain Blackeye. The game was later pushed back to the Nintendo 64, though due to concerns about the direction of the project it was finally scrapped and the character of Banjo, who was a secondary character in ''Project Dream'', was instead made the main character.

The game opens on Spiral Mountain, home of [[Banjo]], [[Kazooie]] and the witch [[Gruntilda]]. Gruntilda learns that the most beautiful girl of all is [[Tooty]], Banjo's sister.

At the top of the tower, Gruntilda intends to swap her level of beauty with Tooty, thus making her young and beautiful while Tooty becomes a monster, using a machine created by her minion [[Klungo]]. To save Tooty, Banjo and Kazooie must travel through various worlds that branch from within the lair. In each world, they can collect up to ten jiggies, which can be used to unlock more worlds, as well as a hundred musical notes, which open special doors that allow the two to progress deeper into the lair, and five [[Jinjo]]s, small creatures that reward the two with a Jiggy whenever all are found in each world. Aiding them on their quest is Bottles, who teaches the two new moves and abilities, and the shaman [[Mumbo Jumbo]], who transforms the two into various animals to accomplish certain tasks.
