About the VP Cards...

Dunno if this has been noted before;

Yeah, you probably wonder what this topic is doing here. I just had a look at the new cards from the Rare Website, and looking at the Banjo card, I looked at the background, and even though I thought it was a map of Gobi's Valley at first (a pyramid that you can climb normally), however, in the end it didn't match any of the pyramids in Gobi's Valley, plus the ground under it was green and those wooden spikey things on the background were only seen in Mumbo's Mountain, yet the area with those spikey things in Mumbo's Mountain only had JuJu, those tents and Mumbo's Skull. Well, further looking at the design of whatever the thing was, I also noticed that aside from what seems to be empty honeycombs, there also is a gem to the left. Gems are something that have never been used in Banjo-Kazooie, unless it could've been a beta. Well, that plus the general design I just noticed that there's a high chance that the only way that this thing can be Banjo-Related, it must be the old beta Giant's Lair/Temple. I mean, just look at it, the design matches, almost everything is not seen in the final game. So yeah, what do you think? [/wall_of_text]

This is the card I'm talking about: http://rareware.com/games/vivapinata...ds/card04.html

hmm...oh and i found this too if your interested, it involves your gem.
http://dkboy.tripod.com/crystal_coconuts.gif

this is a crystal coconut from DK64. Now since DK64 and BK were suppose to be linked through SNS this could have been one of the items unlocked in BK, although the use of it is unknown but if I were to use it, it would be used to defeat the giant somehow, maybe similar to...how you defeated grunty. So just so you know I support you 1000.2% on your theory.

Yeah, in the first Beta pic you can see the wooden logs in the background (those with sharp points). And looking through that same picture, I think it would be to the viewer's left of Banjo where the card background is situated

Also, the crystal coconut picture doesn't work (stupid tripod)
