Lava World
The Lava World was a lava-themed world that was planned to be included in Banjo-Kazooie, but was scrapped due to time constraints. The concept was eventually re-purposed into the lava side of Hailfire Peaks in Banjo-Tooie, with numerous differences, although a number of aspects of the original concept were retained, such as a dragon boss, a coliseum, and making Gobi spit up water to use as coolant.
The Lava World is referenced in both Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, as well as its development history between both games. In the first game, when Banjo and Kazooie steal Gobi's water again in Click Clock Wood, he says that he is leaving for "Lava World", where the duo cannot find him. There is a camel shown in the Lava World's original design sheets, which strongly suggests that Gobi left for the Lava World. In Banjo-Tooie, Gobi is first found in Witchyworld, where he tells Banjo and Kazooie that he was captured on the way to Lava World. When he is freed, Gobi goes to the "Lava World", revealed to be the lava side of Hailfire Peaks.
