You're arguing my points with my... other... points.
If you want to know why Banjo Pilot uses planes instead of animals and creatures, it's because a color-swapped plane consisting of a few sprites is much easier and cheaper to produce than more detailed sprites with animation. It could also be a memory issue. But the fact remains that Rare was already making a racing game where you ride on animals and chose to use the DKR planes for this GBA game. My input was simply that the animals would have been cooler than the planes. Your point is that the animals would be out of character, so please explain to me how using planes is in character rather than Banjo using Kazooie or Grunty using her broom.
Keep in mind that at this point, I’m only instigating you to see if you can form some kind of rebuttal to the above statement coherently and with purpose. If you can legitimately prove that the planes being used are more in-line with the Banjo~Kazooie universe than the actual characters themselves, I will accept that you are right and I am wrong. I'm being completely serious, no name-calling or the like; I want to hear your real opinions.
