Banjo Thought Thread

[Mr. Airplane]

The big o blaster

Can't be, Blobbelda introduces the weapon as if Grunty has never seen it before. She would have needed to put her soul in an object BEFORE she died. Another theory might be that she has a philosopher's stone, as the symbol on Cheato's back cover seems to be similar as the alchemical symbol for it. But I suspect the symbol for a philosopher's stone distorted and warped over time, until eventually a triangle with a circle inside it became as generic symbol for any kind of magic, not just specifically immortality.

Side note I feel really bad that Gruntilda got trapped under that boulder face down for 2 years. All that time with a mouthful of dirt.

I'm at the point now where if I see anyone making a tier list of the Banjo levels, I will first immediately check the bottom tier, and if *both* CC and RBB are down there I simply disregard everything that person has to say.

I've always enjoyed the Banjo soundtracks, but I have a whole new appreciation for them now that I know what swung beats are!

I have not forgotten the rude things you said about mine

This dude's been uploading Banjo tracks without the main melody. It's been really cool to appreciate these old compositions in a new way.

Edit:

Gobi's Valley ought to have been named Jinxy's Valley. That dumb camel has no claim on this land. He doesn't even stay in the level. Jinxy's visage is plastered everywhere, he is ancient and endemic. It should be called Jinxy's Valley.

[dragon_kazoooie]

Why does Gobi own the valley? Does he have the lease?

[Gold Jinjo]

Wasn't Gobi chained up?

Maybe Gobi's Valley is a prison, and Gruntilda sadistically named it after him. Jinxy is the warden lol

[dragon_kazoooie]

Oh yeah I forgot about that.

Chained up right next to the water. Definitely a prison with an ironic name.

Kinda funny that Grunty said "Screw this camel specifically."

Each world should change its name to "Gobi's X" each time he moves there.

I wish to return to 15 seconds ago before the words "Gobi's Wood" popped into my head.

I know the naming scheme for solo Banjo's moves is that they all have "Pack" in the name. But man. Huge humungous gargantuan missed opportunity by calling it Snooze Pack when they toally could have called it the Nap Sack (play on knapsack).

Hire me Microsoft, I got ideas.

Did NOT draw this, I just put the backpack and shorts on as proof of concept

A Kangaroo Banjo would be a lot of fun, they're weird-looking animals that fit the BK style. And it's a cute idea cuz male kangaroos don't have pouches, so Banjo has the backpack instead. A kangaroo can grant a lot of cool abilities as well

• tail for swiping attack/spring jump/pogo stick
• fists for punching/boxing that kangaroos are known for
• legs for leaps + kicks + speed
• kazooie can leave the backpack and chill on Banjo's back, allowing him to use the empty backpack for Taxi Pack which itself has a ton of untapped potential

Grenade Eggs should have been called Bombshell Eggs. Missed a good shell pun
