Lightbulb Grunty's Final Spell

I remember hearing somewhere about after the fight with Grunty in BK, you see her shoot a spell just as she falls off the tower..

No matter where you Really are at the time, you always get moved to on top of the Jinjo podium.

so then the spell misses, and everything is ok.

but i found recenlty somewhere it said that in Beta, the spell did hit Banjo, and turned him into a (Frog?) ... whatever, then you played at Tooty to collect some more Mumbo Tokens and turn him back..

(maybe Mumbo's Beta track came into play here...?)

Anyone else remember this theory?

Isn't it possible to move Banjo, and see what happends if the spell hits him?

I don't know much about gamesharking, but I'm sure the event can't be triggered by rearranging characters within a cutscene.

I think the best way to go about searching for a feature like that is probably the same way Subdrag (or icemario? Can't remember wich) stumbled upon Bottle's Revenge.

Who knows, it could still be in there. Id give it about a 5% chance of being there. If bottles revenge was found then who knows what other mini-games were removed. Didn't that issue also come out in april...so it could have been an AFJ.

That would totally jeopardize the magazine's credibility, as well as the interviewer's career and would be extremely anti-professional of Rare.
I mean, I know Mayles is playful and all that but you just can't waste everyone's time and money with stuff you made up on the spot and then come a couple months later and say "BTW guys all that Beta info and footage I gave you was rubbish, you've just been April Fooled lolz! Har-Har and to think you magazine folks actually spent money putting that interview together and our fans waited a whole FRIGGIN' month for that damn thing and now turns out it was a lie ROFL! Hur hur hur I'm such an AWESOME comedian I AMAZE MYSELF HUEHUE. OH-PLEASE STOP IT'S KILLING ME HOHOHO COUGH COUGH GRASP" *dies*
Capisce my point?

Besides when Rare are lying or keeping secrecy about something they usually use vague words like "perhaps", "maybe", "apparently", etc.
Like when asked about SnS Gregg answered that it "could possibly appear in Threeie", but when they mentioned Grunty's spell he sounded pretty confident; "it IS a removed feature" he said.

The spell was removed so early that any thing left of it would have to be intentional. It was also conformed in the interview that you needed to find every Mumbo token to return Banjo to normal. I'm sure somebody at Rare thought that would be a little cruel.

i doubt it's in there, it would seem a bit of a anti-climax for kids game

This may sound stupid, but you how Banjo is placed behind, or ontop of the Jinjonator statue. Well, what if you have the levitate code and you levitate while the cutscene of the spell is comming towards you, The blast would hit you and a result might happen..

Just a thought.

Thanks for clearing that up. That would be an odd mini game of sorts.

i have a better idea, banjo's value is 02 so you just load banjo's value (02) to location (01) which should be right where you came out moved a bit, i dont know if it would hit you there.

or you take banjo's value (02) and load it to location (00) which is the center, and that may be where the spell hits.

EDIT: ok i just did it, when banjo is moved in front of the spell it says
[EXECUTING FROM NON-MAPPED SPACE] if anyone else wants to try banjo's value is [02] and the location is [00].
