 *In [[Rusty Bucket Bay]], there is a crate with [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]]'s logo on it.
 *In the [[Shipmate's Quarters]] of the [[Rusty Bucket]], there's a picture of [[conkerwiki:Berri|Berri]], [[conkerwiki:Conker the Squirrel|Conker the Squirrel's]] girlfriend, as she appears in ''[[conkerwiki:Conker's Pocket Tales|Conker's Pocket Tales]]''. Due to Berri's difference in design in later games, a photo of Conker (using his model from ''[[conkerwiki:Conker's Bad Fur Day|Conker's Bad Fur Day]]'') replaced it in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade]] version.
-*In the [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]] game, among the wrong answers for a question regarding [[Nabnut]]'s name is "Conker the Squirrel", a reference to the main character from the [[conkerwiki:Conker (franchise)|Conker franchise)]]. Another answer includes [[mariowiki:Cranky Kong|Cranky Kong]] (off the Donkey Kong series).

 *[[Gnawty]] from [[Click Clock Wood]] is a reference to the [[mariowiki:Gnawty|enemy]] found in the ''[[mariowiki:Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' games. His design resembles [[mariowiki:Really Gnawty|Really Gwanty]]
 *In the [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]] game, one of the questions is about which game Gruntilda first starred in. Other than Banjo-Kazooie, the two wrong answers are "Perfect Grunty" and "Grunty Kong 64". These are references to Rare's other games: ''[[rarewiki:Perfect Dark|Perfect Dark]]'' and ''[[mariowiki:Donkey Kong 64|Donkey Kong 64]]'', respectively.

 * A radio in the background plays the song "Windy" from "Conker's Bad Fur Day".
-* Later in the intro, when [[Lord of Games|L.O.G.]] appears, L.O.G. says he is the creator of all video games, to which Kazooie replies with "Even ones that don't sell very well, like "Ghoulies"?", a reference to the poor sales that "Grabbed by the Ghoulies" had. When Kazooie says they've been in lots of games, L.O.G. replies with, "But not nearly as many as that Italian gentleman.", referring to Mario.

-*A part the player can buy is called a "Papery Pal", which looks like a Lickitoad from "Viva Piñata". In the description of it, Mumbo tells Banjo and Kazooie that "Trouble in Paradise is good game. Mumbo recommend player buy it tomorrow." ''Trouble in Paradise'' is the 2<sup>nd</sup> Viva Piñata game, and was released only two months before ''Nuts & Bolts''.
