Dumbed down Mario 64? What?! How? If anything, Banjo-Kazooie improved upon Mario 64's gameplay.
Better camera control, better flying mechinics, better swimming mechanics, better level design... The fact that you aren't forced out of a world each time you collect a Jiggy is a massive improvement from Mario alone.
I'll be bold enough to say that comparing SM64 to Banjo is like comparing SMB1 to SMB3.
