This game recently went on Game Pass, and I have been sinking huge amounts of time into it. The vehicle creation is more robust, although the campaign falls well short on charm when compared with Nuts n Bolts. Even so, making car-boat-planes remains fun.

I found this title be weirdly confusing at first (thought it was originally about a remake and then a sequel and then, well, the game it is haha) but now am intrigued. Thanks for the heads up!

I like that Giant Bomb has been an enclave of Nuts N' Bolts appreciation for over a decade now. I feel like opinions of that game out in the wider world range from "it's neat" to "it's an unforgivable insult to the legacy of Banjo," but I've always held it as one of the best games of its generation. It's a fascinating exercise in deconstructing the traditional structure of video game goal systems, a theme that modern Rare has been developing since Viva Piñata, continuing through N&B and Sea of Thieves, and most likely into Everwild as well.

Anyway, I'll give this game a look!
