More Banjo!

If you guys haven't noticed, I finally posted my Banjo review yesterday. About time! I hope I swayed those on the fence into picking it up. It's easily one of my favorite games of the year, just a ridiculously awesome experience.

I was writing the review yesterday and got to the part where I needed to describe how the excellent creation tool works. I had a sentence that read something like, "The only thing you'll need is an engine, fuel tank, and a seat for Banjo to sit on--the rest is up to you." Reading that sentence over, it occurred to me that I may be wrong. Did I really need an engine and fuel tank?

I fired up the game (any excuse to spend more time with N&B is ok in my book) to see what I could come up with. I had a very basic idea: Banjo's seat with just a spring underneath. Springs don't require fuel, right? They're natural, like wind or bears with backpacks. I went to the track to make sure it actually worked and, well, it was ridiculous. Has anyone else tried this? The spring is so powerful, I was rocketing all around the arena, hitting my head on the ceiling and whipping across the bumpy ground. Pure chaos. All that work poured into crafting the perfect vehicle, and all I needed was a chair with a spring. Who knew?

Anyone else have wacky vehicles they'd like to share? I'd love if you could send your blueprints to me. I want to see what this game can really do!
