The RWP

So, I was playing BT today and was in Grunty's Lair looking at that picture and... I don't know if someone has already noticed this, but that blue round thing in the middle kinda looks like the blue Stop 'n' Swop egg... I always thought this picture is strange, maybe it had a connection with Stop 'n' Swop?

Another thing to consider: Grunty's Lair decoration has the sole purpose of being areas for putting jiggies, like the giant statue near Bubblegloop Swamp, the giant wall near Freezeezy Peak, the egypcian vase near Gobi's Valley, all of them were used for getting a jiggy. The only decoration that isn't used is her picture in the entrance... Weird.

I loaded up my BT Emulator, and took a closer look. I don't see any blue spots... i see a sort of purple-ish/blue part on her scarf, but no blue spots.

BT's painting? That's her scarf!

and her socks are the same colour as her scarf.

No, it's not her scarf, because it's next to her, not on her neck. Here, I circled the blue part: http://img111.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n642ik6.jpg
Also, there's a lighter blue part that looks like a "?" from the Stop 'n' Swop eggs, but we can't see it whole.

Really? Aw... But what about the second part of my first post? About the decoration?

it's possible, considering both were common in BK and BT. However Rare probably ripped it to show that it wasn't meant as a connection of any sort. Really, all it is, is that Grunty has an ego problem, she carves her face into the mountain, like Wizpig in Diddy Kong Racing, then in each of the bigger areas there is something representing her.

Entrance - Picture of self.
TTC/CC puzzle area - Platform with her face
Swamp area - Huge statue of self
Area leading to FP/MMM - Another face carved into a wall
Area before final boss - the 2nd to last puzzle is of herself

So yeah, it's just an ego thing.

egg? huh?

Dylan Yoshi · #10 20th August 2007, 10:42 PM

The reason it looks different is because BT's Painting is 1/4 the size of BK's.

Yeah, it's just the scarf.

Eh...I don't think that Rare would be hiding clues in a blurred picture of Grunty.

You sir, are a ****.
Here is some data you might like:

The Banjo-Tooie picture uses exactly 1/4 of the picture in Banjo Kazooie.
The reason being is that Rare thought we would not notice it was 1/4 if it was really dark and had a gaping hole in the center, thus the reason for using only 1/4.
Therefore, if you could not see a magical egg in the prequels picture, you may not see it in this title.

Here is a brightened picture of the Banjo Tooie picture.
Notice no egg in the scarf, the reason being is that certain textures may appear different colors because of the green tint in the room.

But there's only a one letter difference between Egg and Ego!

JINKIES! It must be a clue!

Ok, theory proven wrong. But really, I'd never think that's Grunty's scarf
