It's all rumors and hearsay, but word is that another Banjo was in development after Nuts and Bolts but it got the lid put on it due to the poor sales of NaB. There were a lot of Rare games in development around that time that ended up canceled (several of them have little videos in Rare Replay, there was a sequel to Kameo, a horror game, a kart racer, and more) so it's pretty believable. Stop n Swop II is actually used in the Nuts and Bolts DLC, but it's just a few bonus blueprints and clearly not their intended end point for the feature. I will of course show it off when we get to it.

Best I can tell is that the sign over the pigs pool is a really lovely hint for mumbo's explodey wall. As made obvious by the fact that you had no idea what "skull beach. Beach skull" meant despite knowing to do that.

yeah everything I see online says it’s for blowing up the wall. it’s such a weird tip since you miss 90% of the level if you don’t go get Mumbo anyway

Fun thing, you can also destroy the door to the rental room in Jolly's Inn with a Grenade Egg to avoid having to pay the 2 doubloons and you can even still destroy it after you paid if you just want to be mean. I could have sworn that he then charged you for blowing it up, but checking the wiki for the game, that doesn't seem to actually be the case. Not that there is any need to do that, as you get more then enough doubloons to buy everything in town.

Will do! Also I'll just get it out of the way and say that while the next level is a lot of people's least favourite, I'm a huge apologist. I just like the atmosphere a lot and it has my favourite level theme in the game.

Yeah, this level is where I think B-T really begins to drag a bit and starts having levels that are just to big for their own good. Also, never noticed how limited use Mumbo and the various transformations were either, most of them really are just 2-3 small things and then done.

 Part 14: Grunty Industries Everyone's favorite level. As a quick aside, over the holiday break I started a SSLP of Corpse Party: Blood Drive. I dunno that there's any audience overlap between Banjo-Kazooie and Corpse Party, but I thought I'd mention it regardless!

I also think it's cool how you properly enter this level. I guess that makes Old King Coal the only mandatory boss, since you still need the moves from G.I. to get through the rest of the game so you can't skip it outright.

Ahh, Grunty Industries, the level that took me ages to puzzle through without a guide back in the day. While I really like sneaking in via taking the train, man is the place just not fun or easy to navigate at all, and having to constantly deal with or dodge those security robots really, really gets old fast, double so with how quickly the security cameras respawn. This level was definitely the line for me where the game's levels just got to big and complex for their own good.

And this is the level that made sure I'd never 100% this game. I got the moves and got right out. I don't remember if I even got a jiggy in here

I do like how you slowly open up the level and make it more accessible. This game feels like a really neat first step into a more complex 3d platformer/collectathon genre that sadly never really came to fruition, kind of what the first Devil May Cry was to DMC5 or Bayonetta now.

I like how in the same video there was disappointment over the lack of continued use of clockwork kazooies, you also went for the split up pad on floor five rather than just toss on top of all the boxes you couldn't climb.

Some part of my brain says that the transformation also gets you infinite fire eggs. (Not that it displays it, but shooting them doesn't decrease the counter.) I could be misremembering though.

You're actually not that far off, they planned to convert an in-development Diddy Kong Racing game for the GameCube into a 360 game called Sabreman Stampede following Rare's acquisition though sadly that ended up getting canned as well do to lack of direction. As for Nuts & Bolts, the issue is that not only the variety is vehicle focused in a platformer series meaning the player base wants variety focused around actual platforming rather than complete genre shifts, something Nitro Rad on YouTube has been very vocal about in his reviews, but it can be repetitive since it's very common to just make and use something specifically geared towards the challenge (e.g. using your fastest vehicle for racing) and many challenges don't even let you use your own vehicle.

Y'know, Mumbo wouldn't have to deal with the fire hands if you used the shortcut in his hut. I only mention because it's really easy to miss if you didn't read the hint inside the volcano... Oh wait.
