The Great Banjo-Kazooie Investigation
The Great Banjo-Kazooie Investigation Hello, all. I already posted this on my other thread, but I figure that if we actually decide to do this, then we should have an entire thread dedicated to it. Now on with my idea... I propose that we split into organized groups of about three or so. Each group would be entirely dedicated to scouring an entire level of Banjo-Kazooie. This way, each person could devote all their attention to a single area rather than the entire game. Why would we need three people per group you may ask? Well it may not be necessary, but I think it would be wise to have someone search a level with any/all Stop 'N' Swop items, one person without any Stop 'N' Swop items, and another person seeing where they can get using a Gameshark or other hacking device. Like I said, this may not be necessary, but I wouldn't want to miss something in a level because we accidentally flipped a variable that we didn't mean to. Each team member should post back here with a complete report of anything out of the ordinary that happened during the search. Even if you think that it might be common knowledge or that it's been posted somewhere else, post it here. I'll edit the post with a complete record of events and team members for each level, and I'd like this thread to be a one stop source for investigation of Banjo-Kazooie.

Quote:
The Mysteries Gruntilda's Lair-By the puzzle for Bubblegloop swamp, where is the waterfall sound coming from? Theory: It's a glitch. We're hearing the waterfall from the main room. -Are those pictures of Blackeye on the walls in the transformation room? Theory: This was originally where SnS would take place. (See rumor #1) -Is there a way to get behind the picture in the entrance? Anything there? Clanker's Cavern -Why are there two red walls? (See Killamanjaro's findings on the Clanker's Cavern Record) Theory: Decoration. Bubblegloop Swamp -Do the Crocti have anything to do with SnS? (Eye color) -Does the Tiptup Choir have anything to do with SnS? (Shell color) -Anything to the three solid vine objects that are unreachable? Gobi's Valley -Why are there two ? marks and a door object? (See Banjo-Swopooie's findings on the Gobi's Valley Record) Mad Monster Mansion -Does anything happen when you play the written music on the organ? (OmniMan) Rusty Bucket Bay -What does "TWYCROSS ENGLAND" mean on the back of the boat? *Twycross England is the location of Rare Ware. It's just an easter egg.* -Why does Banjo fall through SOME solid objects outside the boundries (unextended tollbridges, rooftops, etc.) but not others? -Is there anything to the Rare logo making a record three appearances on this level? -Three mysterious doors on the inside of the ship. Is it possible to open them? Theory: Decoration. -Is there anything to the lonely knife in the kitchen? Theory: Decoration. -Is it possible to reach the locations that are picked up on the radars in the computer room? Theory: They map the entire level with Banjo's location being the dot. -Do the maps in the computer room have any significance? Theory: It's a map of TTC with the "x" being Sharkfood Island. Click Clock Wood -(Winter) Is it possible to enter the treehouse? Anything inside? Theory: This is the (old) entrance to Fungus Forest. The Rumors Rumor #1: Blackeye the Pirate was supposed to tell you the passwords for the eggs and key after you performed certain events in Banjo-Tooie. Rare meant for there to be four eggs and the ice key. At least that's all they wanted people to find. Two of the eggs are "duds" that were never meant to be found. As soon as you had a dud egg, SnS stops working. They were only put there to stop the hackers from finding the mysteries before Banjo-Tooie came out. So if you have the right combination of eggs, a door should open in the transformation room. Grunty will curse that annoying Blackeye for giving away her precious secrets, and then you can take the eggs to Banjo-Tooie.The eggs were to be used to unlock transformations similar to "Dragon Kazooie" and maybe some new moves as well.

Terrific! I'll put up the roster with your names. Come back with as much information as you can!
If you want, you can sign up for other levels as well, but try to focus on just one at a time, okay? |

You don't need to have a Gameshark to be helpful! Go ahead and sign up for a level to investigate without one, if you want to!

I need to know if you have any of the SnS items in your inventory before I can add you to the roster.

Nope! No need. Daydreams is searching without any SnS items and with Gameshark off, so you fit in perfectly. You might want to collaborate with him a bit and both follow each other's footsteps. If you have differing results, it could be a good lead!
Alright, you're both added. I'm not sure yet, but I think that I might search through Gruntilda's Lair. I might need some help, though, if anyone is up for it. Also, I've decided that after a team sees it fit, they should dub the level "clean." Then we can check it off the list and move on. If we finish Banjo-Kazooie, we should move on to Banjo-Tooie, although I don't want to get ahead of myself. This is quite an undertaking! Also, if anyone is really good at hacking, it would be good if they could look through the code of a particular level and look for hidden text, or objects or whatever is possible. I'll post a list of useful Gameshark codes for exploring on the front page in a bit.

I'd love to help. I have a V3.3 GameShark for my N64. I'll have a look-see anywhere you want me, but I will require some NTSC codes for walk through walls, line mode, etc.
