| '''Showdown Town''' is a location in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Features and overview==
| | '''Showdown Town''' is a world in [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]. It is the main hub world of the game, where all other worlds may be accessed, and for housing different colors of Jinjos. You can only use the default trolley vehicle here, but by completing certain Grunty Challenges in the worlds, you can earn upgrades for the trolley (such as a spring, floaters, and a laser). |
| Showdown Town is the hub world of ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''. It is a large town that [[L.O.G.]] transports [[Banjo]], [[Kazooie]], and [[Gruntilda]] to when he steps in to settle their feud over [[Spiral Mountain]]'s ownership. While Banjo and Kazooie are in Showdown Town, L.O.G. only allows them to use the default [[Trolley MK.]] vehicle. The trolley is automatically upgraded with more parts as the duo complete [[Grunty Challenge]]s, making more of the town accessible, although they can access some areas early by building a staircase from crates and climbing them, or by putting an object on their trolley, standing on it, and lifting it with the [[Mumbo Wrench]], essentially causing it to fly. | |
|
| |
|
| The area has a few cameos of other [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]] games, especially ''[[rarewiki:Grabbed by the Ghoulies|Grabbed by the Ghoulies]]''. A few characters from the game have their own store, including "Mr. Ribs' BBQ Ribs," "Ma Soupswill's Authentic Ice Cream," and "Green Fingers Fiddlesworth Garden Centre." [[rarewiki:Ghoulhaven Hall|Ghoulhaven Hall]] is also visible at the peak of Showdown Town. One of the shops has two windows with newspapers showing [[rarewiki:Conker the Squirrel|Conker]], [[rarewiki:Joanna Dark|Joanna Dark]], and [[rarewiki:Kameo|Kameo]].

|
| Like the [[Jinjo Village]] from ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Showdown Town also has housing for the different [[Jinjo]] variants. Furthermore, Showdown Town also has a verse of the [[Jinjo Village]] theme.

| The '''Town Square''' is the main, central area of Showdown Town. It contains Mumbo's Motors, the Jiggy Bank, the Nutty Acres game world doors, Humba Wumba's shop, Bottles' Tourist Information Kiosk, and [[L.O.G.'s Video Game Factory]]. It is also where the portal to Spiral Mountain is located, and it towers over the rest of the town, in the center of a hill. [[Gruntilda]] and [[Piddles]] also hang out in the area. This is where the [[Act Door]]s to [[Nutty Acres]] and the downloadable [[L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges]] are located, the latter behind Mumbo's Motors.

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *According to [[Steve Mayles]], Showdown Town's design was largely influenced by the coastal towns of {{wp|Tenby}} in west {{wp|Wales}}, {{wp|United Kingdom}} and {{wp|Saint Malo}} in {{wp|Brittany}}, on the north coast of {{wp|France}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101119221050/http://banjo-kazooie.com/News/DevDiaries/4.htm Banjo Dev Diary 4: Building the Hub, Pt. 1]</ref> | | *This Hub World's theme has a verse of [[Jinjo Village]] from Banjo Tooie. Also the docks have a verse of [[Rusty Bucket Bay]] from Banjo Kazooie. |
| *During the ''"12 Questions of Christmas"'' thread on The Rare Witch Project Forums, where developer [[Gregg Mayles]] answered fan questions about the game as a 2007 Christmas treat, he answered a question about the game's hub world, stating: "You've seen Grunty's Lair and Isle o' Hags, now get ready for "Conflagration Violent."<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20080304103851/http://www.rarewitchproject.com/forums/showpost.php?p=259005&postcount=183 The Rare Witch Project Forums - View Single Post - The 12 Questions of Christmas (Wayback Machine)]</ref> It is possible that "Conflagration Violent" is an anagram for "Confrontation Village," which is synonym for "Showdown Town" itself. | | |
| | *There are ways to get to a few areas that require upgrades to the trolley without the respective upgrades. You can build a staircase from crates and climb them, or put an object on your trolley, stand on it, and lift your trolley with the wrench, and essentially fly using your trolley. |
| | |
| | ===Cameos=== |
| | *There are many signs that show reference to ''Grabbed by the Ghoulies. ''Such as Mr. Ribs BBQ. |
| | *Ghoulhaven Hall is seeable from the highest point of Showdown Town, referencing ''Grabbed by the Ghoulies.'' |
| | |
| | *A tower that looks remarkably like Gruntilda's is seeable from the highest point in Showdown Town. |
|
| |
|
| ==References==
| | *A castle is seeable from the highest point of showdown town that may or may not be a reference to Mario since Mario references were already made. |
