Hammerhead Beach Theory

Here's some random speculation that clearly belongs here in the theory section. No proof at all, just trying to connect some dots.

Rare made a reference in the History of BK article about Hammerhead Beach being connected to Stop 'N Swop. That's interesting. It made me take a look at the map that is in the Navigation Room of RBB in BK. Not the map of TTC, but the other beach map. The map that people have speculated as being HHB.

Rare also dropped many interesting tidbits in Grabbed by the Ghoulies, including the Devil Bottles pics and that pesky chalkboard with the Collect Ice Key, Collect Eggs, Activate Secret Level. Very taunting of them. But maybe not. We've obviously identified the 4 eggs ice key = ?, but not the rest of the picture. Maybe it's actually a picture of HHB, the main island and 2 surrounding islands. I've spun it around for better comparison.

Maybe that's the secret level and Rare was blantantly showing it to us.

Maybe it still exists in BK or BT, only available after a certain trigger event occurs.

And as always, Maybe = Theory.

Probably nothing, but a theory nonetheless.

The image kind of looks like a early screenshot of Isle O hags. That would be cool if Hammerhead Beach was in BT though. That would explain the 90 jiggies. Maybe the eggs that CBM found are on it. Kind of crazy but could be.

I agree with you Slappy i have the same idea.I tried to localize what locations represent maps with X from GBTG whiteboard.
Here you are my ideas:
top-left:???
top-right:Captain's'Cabin map with X on Red Egg
down-right:Nabnut's House map with X on Yellow Egg

In GBTG there is Fungus Forest picture with map with X.It looks like Hammerhead Beach(???) map from Navigation Room in RBB WITH X!

Maybe really this secret level from whiteboard is Hammerhead Beach?
Devil Bottles pictures...X on Red Egg on whiteboard...Red Egg=Bottles' Revenge
???

There are three islands in each picture.Spooky.
Well,anyway,this theory is probably plausible.Good work slap!

How possible is it that Hammerhead beach exists in either BK or BT, and just hasn't been found? I kinda think that it isn't too likely, seeing as how the games have been hacked so much, but then again I guess that would depend on how big HHB is. Quite frankly if it is there I think it is a part of another level, I guess similiar to the X barrel in MMM (it took forever to get in, and once you did you couldn't see anything).

If it is there, I suspect it must be some locked part of the lair somewhere in BK. If it's in BT then I guess it would be harder to find.

Anyways good theory.

rare put that 4 eggs, ice key = ? in GBTG as a joke to make us think "oh maybe stop n swop does still exist" and hammerhead beach was probably just a beta for treasure trove cove (the sandcastle codes in TTC, HHB have a connection with SnS, similarity?)

Pitty to say it, but yeah.

Some also say the Isle o Hags looks like B and K's heads.. I don't see it =p

I personally think the isle looks more like iceland..

There's no doubt to me that it's a head, but I'm sure it's not Banjo's.
