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. | The Lava World is referenced in both ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Banjo-Tooie'', as well as its development history between both games.

The Temple Test Level<ref name="Rare Revealed">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w72kj20YNA0 Rare Revealed: A Rare Look at Dream]</ref> 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]].<ref name="Rare Revealed"/ | The Temple Test Level<ref name="Rare Revealed">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w72kj20YNA0 Rare Revealed: A Rare Look at Dream]</ref> is a test area created during development of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', and was commonly shown in pre-release promotional material.

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. | In the data for ''Banjo-Kazooie'', there is an unused test map with eight slopes arranged in a circle formation.
