-Leafos likes GBTG. (http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/5/26/37476/VP%20pics/bestgame.jpg)

-These look familiar... (http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/5/26/37476/VP%20pics/glasses.jpg)

-...and here's the piñata that needs them. (http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/5/26/37476/VP%20pics/profitamole.jpg)

-Is this what I think it is? (http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/5/26/37476/VP%20pics/bk_plaque.jpg)

-The "Bird and Bear Statue," as the game calls it. (http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/5/26/37476/VP%20pics/bk_statue.jpg)

I know there's a shot of the GBTG arcade cabinet on Mundo Rare, and there's also a model of Ghoulhaven Hall in the game. If you guys want a picture of the Blackeye statue, Grey's going to need to send the statue to me...;)

Holly awesomeness, is that what Banjo and Kazooie will look like???? They look, normal, BEAUTIFUL!!!

[DemyGod]

Wow, that statue is awesome. Im defintly getting this game now.

judging from the description of the glasses item, i think we can assume viva pinata is another "dku" game.

[Icy Guy]

We could, but we'd be wrong in doing so. Why? Because no one's found any physical appearances by living versions of the characters. Yet. The fishbowl in one of the shops could be home to a certain fish...

...but that requires checking. And screenshotting.

that's true. but the description obviously refers to kazooie terrorizing bottles.

it doesn't outright state it's them, but it obviously is.

[Nick]

It says Bottles Glasses though...

dku? Um, pardon my ignorance, but what's that?

[Crystal_bear]

I think a Banjo statue can be seen in the background of Costolot's store.

[joey-achooie]

dku? Um, pardon my ignorance, but what's that?
donbkey kong universe. it's a theory that state that various rare games, including dk, banjo, and conker, happen in the same universe.

though by th elogivc that is sued in the theory, one can find that 96% of all videos games also happen in the same universe. :p

Crowla(a pinata)'s house looks like a model of the Grabbed by the Ghoulies mansion.

Mallowolf(another one) has a house that looks like a wolf's head, opened jawed with torches next to it. I think it's a cameo of Sabrewulf's lair in the GBA game.

[Icy Guy]

You're not the only one who's commented on the look of the Mallowolf's house. I'll have to snap a few pics of it when I can finally do a little cross-breeding and can actually tame the Sour Mallowolf. Other than the Sour Cocoadile, it's the only one I haven't gotten...

Apparently, Mr. Ribs (from GBTG) shows up at the base of the Parrybo's house. Pics somewhere on the DK Universe forum.

Also, you can buy Captain Blubber's sword.

[Grey Jinjo]

Oh, did you finally discover these during your XBL Ghosting VP binge? =P.

PS: I finally got the last pinata I needed, the Chippopotamus. Good luck with that one -_-.

[Crystal_bear]

No need to take pictures for us. Here you go.

The sword, yes, but the others, no. :p Oh, and I finally bought the Mumbo statue.

Nice job with the Chippo, and...

*insert joke about Waterworld here*

Ahhh. Yeah, that's a reference to the GBA Sabrewulf. The only thing that could make that even closer would be Sabreman running out, yelling, "For the empire, wot!"

Both Fileden and I thank you for posting the pic.

part of the jameleon's romance dance uses a remix of the banjo-kazooie theme. if i'm not mistaken, it's the same remix from kameo and the b3 trailer. it apparently also uses gbtg music, too, but i've never played that game so i don't know.
