The Mysteries of Jet Force Gemini are some things that keep me up at night...from things I noticed as a child to questions I have as an adult this game always caused me to wonder...So here is a video reflecting some of the mysteries, questions, and maybe even answers I've found over the years....

Mischief Makers? Don't hear much about that one. Someone else said Body Harvest too and that's another one I never hear anyone talk about
Imagine being a fan of the N64, and specifically everything Rare did for the console, and finding a channel like this. It's glory itself!

Regarding the space station blue door. I remember reading somewhere that Rare originally intended for you to proceed to the center of the ship where its core was. You'd find an NPC who'd give you a spaceship part and would show you a cutscene showing how Mizar attacked the space station and how it came to be abandoned. But due to time constraints it was scrapped. I think they moved the spaceship part to another location as a result, or so I figure. It's a shame they didn't get to add that in because I would have loved to see what exactly happened to the space station!!

Makes sense to me that this blue door was also what Lupus' blue key was for, and when they ran out of time and lost the reason to use it they just patched out the key as well.

@@CyberpunkStudiosLtd Oh yeah! That could very well be!
I might have an answer to Lupus' cybernetic enhancements, and it's to do with the character select screen While the humans Juno and Vela have bio scans showing their brain and nervous systems, Lupus is the only one who shows his skeleton, or at least half of it (for whatever reason, his head doesn't animate to rotate profiles, so it's always from the side). His skeleton and nerve endings shows or seems to imply that he doesn't appear to have front or hind paws, seemingly suggesting that his feet are cybernetic prosthetics that function as his hover engines. The tank upgrade though isn't a full body replacement, it's just grafted around his body. If you look closely at his model, you can see his traces of his real body shrunken underneath to fit in
With all the decompile/recompile stuff going on, they could do wonders with this game (even just modernise controls).

This game was indeed a classic. Only i never fully played it and would watch one of my friends mostly. I do remember once in a while, we would plug in a second controller. This would allow me to play as the little flying robot character.

Great video! These are all interesting questions! I loved this game when I played it many ages ago, but it is probably the only N64 Rareware game I just couldn't complete as I couldn't find/save all the Tribals! 😭 I really want to give it another go again as the atmosphere and gameplay were quite fun. I remember the controls taking some getting used to on the original N64 controller, though!

My biggest jfg mystery is what did the original theme song sounded like considering the final main theme was originally the roman world theme from twelve tales Conker 64 yet jfg released right before twelve tales started transitioning into bad fur day so it makes me wonder since other rare games repurposed scrapped ost for other games(scrapped tracks from project dream even made it into viva pinata for example) and maybe the original jfg theme could have been repurposed for bad fur day after scrapping 90% of the twelve tales ost.

If we're going off of your map of the rare universe, then this probably takes place right in the perfect dark timeline, but also at the same time. Maybe the beginning of the killer instinct. That's why they are like super soldiers and have the super powers

I couldnt get anywhere in this game as a kid lol. So I tried again on Switch as an adult but using a regular controller as an N64 controller is just awkward so I couldnt play any N64 games with any level of control. SO I got a wireless N64 controller for the switch and it works great and tried Jet Force again. Still cant get anywhere lmao, I have lost ALL skill with N64 aiming 😅, too used to modern controls now.

I understand. It really takes a couple levels with the N64 controller to get it all figured out. Really it takes a bit to adjust. I think it took me like 3 worlds to really get the controls down.

The absolute worst Rare game on the N64. Even in the 90s I thought it was unplayable. Worse still, it's one of those games in which you need to collect EVERYTHING just to access the final boss.

I agree with the collecting everything to complete the game is trash. But the worst rare game on 64? Ummm maybe…I don’t think Killer Instinct or Blasts Corps are quite as strong as Gemini, but I guess with N64 titles like DKR and Banjo it is more bottom tier
