Rare to Rate and Reward Top Seven Custom Contraptions Created by B-K:N&B Community

Greetings and salutations, Banjo collective. We at Rare just wanted to let you know that we have something a bit special in store for those who have been uploading snaps of their custom in-game vehicles to the Showroom.

Key members of the Banjo team will be poring (pawing?) over the uploaded photos in a quest to track down the seven very best player-built contraptions. But for what purpose, we imagine hearing you cry? Only the sweetest award that can be bestowed on a gamer: in-game immortalisation. Who needs YouTube when your act of creativity could earn you a genuine place in Banjo history?  Think of the bragging rights!

While it’s a secret (to everybody) as to how we will pull off this daring deed, we promise you it will be really very cool and probably not how you might imagine. 

Once the Banjo team has made its seven selections, we’ll reach out to the contraptions’ creators via the email addresses associated with their Gamertags and ask them to send us their blueprints for our mysterious purposes.

  • Deadline for entries is January 4th 2009, 12 midnight PST. This gives players the whole holiday to get creative on us.

  • Anybody with a copy of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and an Xbox LIVE account can enter.

  • You can submit as many contraptions and photos as you like; just remember that the cream always rises to the top.

  • Wow us! Shock us! Just don’t post dodgy contraptions (don’t play coy, you know what we mean). The entry must be your own original work, infringe no copyrights and reference no third party trademarks, music, logos, names or images.

  • In order to be included you’ll need to allow Microsoft rights to distribute your entries, letting the widest possible audience marvel at your machinery.

  • Just to be clear, this is not a competition with some tacky physical memento as a prize. And we’re not giving away our secret of how the in-game immortalisation will work yet....

For additional information on Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, you can visit both the publisher's site and the developer’s site.

For further information, please contact either myself or Brother Mike.

This will be tough. I am spending a lot more time working on vehicles than I imagined and it's actually keeping me from progressing in the game. Must leave the workshop this weekend, unlock as many parts as I can, then get to work on some sweet machines. Good luck to all!

Do these creations have to actually be useful in navigation/challenge gameplay?
