List of Banjo-Kazooie pre-release and unused content

This is a list of pre-release and unused content from Banjo-Kazooie.

Dream: Land of Giants
Before the development of Banjo-Kazooie started, the game started out as Dream: Land of Giants, an adventure RPG game with an isometric perspective for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game was about a boy named Edson causing trouble to Captain Blackeye and his crew. The development for the game later moved to the Nintendo 64.

Temple Test Level
The Temple Test Level is a test area created during development of Banjo-Kazooie, and was commonly shown in pre-release promotional material. The test level consists of a towering temple structure with multiple doors, surrounded by stone ramps and sandy terrain. The area is fully enclosed with wooden plank walls. The purpose of the level was to test 3D level design, and to aid in developing the moveset for Banjo and Kazooie.

Test map
In the data for Banjo-Kazooie, there is an unused test map with eight slopes arranged in a circle formation. All the slopes are too steep for Banjo to walk on, but can be walked on while using the Talon Trot move. This map only exists in the US 1.0 version of the game.
