Mario 64 is so good that it gets away with looking awful, feeling clunky and spastic, having a shit camera, and having uninspired obstacle course worlds. It's an extremely fun classic but you can't make those same complaints about banjo Kazooie. Considering BK came after and would have no excuse still having those flaws, I think it's totally fair to argue Banjo is the better game
And also, the banjo kazooie we know today would not exist without mario.
