A part of Glitter Gulch Mine, specifically the pile of crystals near the beginning, makes an appearance in [[Banjoland]] of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. They are under a glass case, and various mine cart rails are held up by poles, the top pole in the center being especially unstable.

*'''<u>Instruction booklet</u>:''' "''In the dank, dingy depths of the hags' gem mine you'll find a surprisingly friendly welcome from a lonely old prospector and a mad caged bird. But as you negotiate the meandering underground river, funble in pitch black caverns, and blast your way into claustrophibic tunnels, the local shovels, maverick boxex of TNT, and deranged hillbilies will take none too kindly to your intrusion. Along with rickety handcarts and a homesick flying saucer, yoy'll find Chuffy the train, who may need a little help before he can resume his unique service.''" | |||
*'''<u>North American website</u>:''' "''James West's west was mild mild compared to this explosive underground world. I get to break a jailbird out of the hoosegow and a canary out of a gas-filled mine, all the while fightin' off ornery varmints. I'd love to tell Banjo that this world ain't big enough for the two of us, but sometimes I need the big galoot like James W. needed Artemus Gordon.''"<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20010124102800/http://banjo-tooie.com:80/mn_glittergulch.htm banjo-tooie.com]</ref> | |||
