Showdown Town

Game(s)	Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

Showdown Town is the hub world and first area 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 Challenges, 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 games, especially 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". Ghoulhaven Hall is also visible at the peak of Showdown Town. One of the shops has two windows with newspapers showing Conker, Joanna Dark, and 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.

Districts

Town Square

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 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 Doors to Nutty Acres and the downloadable L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges are located, the latter behind behind Mumbo's Motors.

Theater District

The Theater District is the lowest part of Showdown Town. For the most part, Theater District is a narrow area surrounded by very tall buildings. There are headless statues which appear to be holding out a Mumbo skull. This is also where the Act Doors to LOGBOX 720 are located, in an area painted to look forested.

Lakeshore

The Lakeshore is an area with a large lake, Trophy Thomas's home, and a boathouse featuring the Act Doors to Banjoland. It is directly adjacent to the Uptown and is above Town Square. Trophy Thomas is found in his house, and Banjo and Kazooie can talk to him to go directly to missions.

Docks

The Docks, as its name suggests, is where the docks are located. It is a large area with many ships and cranes, a construction site with the Act Doors to Jiggoseum, Boggy's Gym, and the Showdown Town Police's headquarters. A verse of Rusty Bucket Bay is heard in this area.

Seaside

The Seaside is just on the ocean shore, as its name suggests. This area contains the pier, Klungo's Arcade, King Jingaling's Bingo Palace, a lighthouse, and a small island just offshore. Jolly Dodger can be found here, pawning his dubiously-obtained Jiggies. It is also where the Saucer of Peril is located.

Uptown

The Uptown is the upper area of the Theater District. It has an elevated, closed-off neighborhood populated by the richer denizens of Showdown Town. Banjo and Kazooie can access Terrarium of Terror's Act Doors from here. Captain Blubber is found just outside the main Uptown area, covered in dirt after crashing the Saucer of Peril in the Seaside. Banjo and Kazooie can buy a Trapdoor Tower combination from him.
