MoHendraBanjo

MohendraBanjo

MoHendraBanjo was the scrapped 6th world of Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge. It was originally accessible after Spiller's Harbor and before Fiery Furnace. The world had a jungle and war theme as concept art often shows scenes of planes airdropping bombs, and a tank that spews poison. The level's name is placeholder as it is referred to as Jungle Ruins, and Deep Jungle in the documentation.

The level featured Scorpions, Spitting Cobras, Grabba, Boom Boxes, and Spider enemies though documents for the level also features Bigbutt. The moves learned on this level would be Climb, and Wonderwing. After receiving the Mumbo Totem the player would be able to transform into bee Banjo.

Grunty's Stronghold

Much like how Banjo-Tooie's Cauldron Keep was once its own world, Grunty's Castle was once its own world as well. The level featured: gruntlings, live-wires, germuloids, and the unused spider enemy. The way to get to the final boss was through something called "Booster Doors" but no further information was provided.

Unused Dialogue

Cliff Farm originally featured a task to find a missing Bleater and return them to their pen. All the following are found in Build No. 0.37.08 prototype of Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge.

Image	Quote
	HI I'M ...
	YOU CAN'T FOOL ME, YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE CREATURES, COME TO PLAY CRUEL TRICKS ON ME. I RAN AWAY FROM ONE OF YOUR LOT BEFORE AND I'LL RUN AWAY FROM YOU!
	OUCH!! THAT HURT! IS IT BECAUSE I'M A SHEEP? I BET YOU WOULDN'T DO THAT IF I WAS A CAMEL! I'M OFF!
	SORRY MR.BLEETER.

Spiller's Harbor featured Snorkel and his father Mr. Dolphin. Banjo as an octopus would follow them into the Murky Passage. Banjo was to protect Mr. Dolphin while he looks for his son.

Image	Quote
	BOY AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU MISTER OCTOPUS!
	CAN'T YOU SEE, WE ARE A BEARANDBIRDAPUS, AREN'T DOLPHINS MEANT TO BE CLEVER?!
	BEARANDBIRDAPANTS? ANYWAY, MY SON SNORKEL HAS SWAM OFF ON HIS OWN DOWN THAT PIPE AND I CAN'T GET PAST THE MINES. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD HELP ME?
	SURE THING MRS DOLPHIN, NOT A PROBLEM.
	GOOD, OH AND BY THE WAY IT'S MR DOLPHIN TO YOU! COME ON THEN, FOLLOW ME AND TRY TO STOP THE MINES HITTING ME TOO MUCH.
	(Mr.Dolphin gets hit by too many Shrapnel) THAT'S IT, I AM GETTING HIT FAR TO MUCH. LET'S TRY AGAIN LATER!
	(Mr. Dolphin gets to the end of the tunnel) SNORKEL!! GET YOUR FIN HERE RIGHT NOW! THANKS FOR THE HELP.... WHAT WAS THAT SNORKEL? HE SAYS THAT SOMETHING SHINY MADE HIM SWIM DOWN HERE AND IT'S JUST UP AHEAD. BYE!

A running gag throughout the game is that Banjo misgenders characters he comes across. He does this with Jinjo Oracle, Mr.Dolphin, and Miss Bucket.

Image	Quote
	I THINK THERE ARE 7 BITS SCATTERED AROUND THIS ROOM. THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH!THE ONLY TROUBLE IS THE GRUNTLING HAS BEEN HIDING THEM IN TRICKY PLACES!
	GEE, THANKS MISTER BUCKET! SEE YOU SOON.
	SEE YOU, AND IT'S MISS BUCKET, THANK YOU.

An unused character named Masha, was set to appear in Fiery Furnace's mine.

Image	Quote
Masha	SCRUBBER OR POLISHER?
	EH! OH, YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF MACHINE I AM DO YOU?
Masha	YEAH. THEY CALL ME 'MASHA'. IT IS MY JOB TO CLEAR AWAY ANY, SHALL WE SAY, UNWANTED TRASH. KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
	...GULP!
Masha	DON'T REMEMBER YOUR FACE. ARE YOU SURE YOU WORK HERE?
	ERM, YEAH I'M NEW!
Masha	WHATS YOUR JOB THEN?
	...CLEANER?
Masha	REALLY!! DID THE MANAGEMENT SEND YA, OR ARE YOU JUST TRYING TO MUSCLE IN ON MY TURF? ANYWAY, I'M NOT GOING WITHOUT A FIGHT! LET'S HAVE A LITTLE CONTEST. CLEAR THE RUBBLE ALONG THIS STRETCH FASTER THAN ME AND I'LL LET YOU GO.
	IF I LOSE? THEN W-WHAT?
Masha	IF I LOSE THEN YOU GET TO SEE ONE OF GRUNTY'S GREATS CLEANING UP A LITTLE 'INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT'!!
	T-THATS NOT GOOD, IS IT?
Masha	DON'T WORRY, YOU'RE A CLEANER! GET READY, GET SET....
Masha	(Beat Masha) I DONT BELIEVE IT, YOU BEAT ME! I HATE THAT!
Masha	(Don't accept contest) BEST JUST LEAVE YOU THEN, CLEANER.
	HEY YOU'D BETTER WATCH IT!
Masha	OOPS! I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK A MESS!

Leftovers from the original plot where Kazooie becomes a monster still leftover.

Image	Quote
	KAZOOIE! ARE YA ALRIGHT?! I HOPE I DIDN'T HIT YOU TOO HARD.
	IT'S OKAY BANJO, THOSE PACK WHACKS ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO THE PUNISHMENT GRUNTY'S GOING TO GET NEXT TIME I SEE HER!

Note to Paul Machacek from whoever is writing the dialogue:

Image	Quote
	PLEASE REMOVE THIS TEXT PAUL.

Dialogue with Boggy that was scrapped when flying was removed from the game.

Image	Quote
	HI THERE LITTLE BEAR.
	HELLO, I DON'T EXPECT THAT YOU COULD HELP ME, COULD YOU?
	HERE WE GO AGAIN!
	IGNORE HER LITTLE BEAR, TELL US YOUR NAME.
	MY NAMES BOGGY AND ...
	YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO OWN A SLED BY ANY CHANCE?
	WAHHH!! ONE OF THOSE GRUMPY BIGFEET, THREW IT ONTO A HIGH LEDGE, AND I CAN'T GET IT BACK!
	DON'T CRY BOGGY, WE'LL GET YOUR SLED BACK!
	HAVE YOU GOT MY SLED IN YOUR BACK PACK?
	(Haven't collected the sled yet) SORRY, WE HAVEN'T GOT IT BACK FROM THAT HIGH LEDGE YET.
	YOU BETTER HURRY AND GET ME MY SLED BACK, IT'S NEARLY TEA TIME!
	(Collected the sled) HIYA BOGGY, AND HERE'S YOUR SLED.
	YIPPEE, IF I EVER SEE YOU AGAIN I WANNA HAVE A RACE!
	BETTER GET AN EXTRA SLED THEN!
	GOOD IDEA! SEE YOU LATER.

Shortened Dialogue

Originally Mumbo when introducing themselves to Mumbo the first time, he over explains his purpose with some grotesque details. This is dialogue found in Build No. 0.37.08 prototype of Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge.

Prototype	Final Game
BANJO HAVE NEW TOTEM FOR MUMBO MAGIC! MUMBO HOPE THIS TURN OUT ALL RIGHT, NOT TURN BANJO INSIDE OUT OR INTO USELESS CREATURE LIKE SLOTH. MUMBO CHANGE BANJO TO SOMETHING NOW? YES OR NO?	BANJO HAVE NEW TOTEM FOR MUMBO MAGIC! MUMBO HOPE THIS TURN OUT ALL RIGHT. MUMBO CHANGE BANJO TO SOMETHING NOW?
