'''Showdown Town''' is the hub world and first area of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. It is where the other worlds are accessible from. Like the [[Jinjo Village]] from ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Showdown Town also has housing for the different [[Jinjo]] variants. 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 a location in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''.


==Points of interest==
==Features and overview==
*'''Town Square'''
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.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*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.
*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>
*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.
*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.
