    The team that made Banjo-Kazooie, a cutesy animal mascot platforming game, made another animal mascot platforming game that was as not child friendly as possible and had tons of references to pop culture media and movies at the time.

    One of your first goals is to cure your hangover. Along the way, you give laxatives to cows, collect bees to tickle a flower with big boobs to stop covering them up so you can use them as a jump pad, murder living teddy bears filled with meat in a war, have a boss battle against a giant opera singing pile of shit (probably the most well known scene of the game, the great mighty poo), and more. It was shocking for the N64 era, and they really worked some programming magic to get absolutely every ounce of power they could out of it.

    If you have xbox gamepass, it’s included in Rare Replay (which at least used to be part of gamepass).
