Many games made by [[Rare]] have '''references''' and '''cameos''' to other games and series hidden within them, and the [[Banjo-Kazooie series]] is no exception. From names of characters to pieces of music, there's another cameo around every corner if you know what to look for. | |||
==''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''== | |||
*In the [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]] game, among the wrong answers for a question regarding [[Nabnut|Nabnut's]] name is "Conker the Squirrel," a reference to the main character from ''Conker's Pocket Tales'' for the Gameboy Color and its M-rated sequel ''Conker's Bad Fur Day'' for the [[Nintendo 64]]. Several other wrong answers include [[Humba Wumba]] the shaman, [[Jamjars]] the mole, [[Captain Blackeye]] the pirate, and Cranky Kong (of the Donkey Kong series). | |||
*Kazooie calls [[Bottles]] the following names: [[Jamjars|Jam Jars]], [[Speccy]], & [[Goggles]]. | |||

* In the [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]] game, one of the questions is about which game Gruntilda first starred in. Other then Banjo-Kazooie, the two wrong answers are "Perfect Grunty" and "Grunty Kong 64". These are obviously references to Rare's other best-selling games; Perfect Dark and Donkey Kong 64. | * In the [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]] game, one of the questions is about which game Gruntilda first starred in.

*In the intro to the game, Kazooie is wearing an Xbox 360 Headset and is using an Xbox 360 controller to play a level of [[Hero Klungo Sssavesss Teh World]]. A radio in the background is playing the song "Windy" from ''Conker's Bad Fur Day''. Jamjars is the radio's DJ.

In addition, there is a N64 beside the Xbox 360, though it is not labeled, it's clearly N64 shaped with 4 ports(it is shown for a scene, then later it disappears) | ||
*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.", a reference to the world famous Mario. | *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.

*A part you can buy is called a "Papery Pal", which looks like a Lickitoad from ''Viva Piñata''. In the description of it, Mumbo tells you 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. | |||

*In [[Showdown Town]], when [[Lord of Games|L.O.G.]] is spoken to, he says that he invented first-person shooters, and he wished he hadn't bothered. He says there may even be a space marine in the game. This is probably a reference to most modern first-person shooters. | *In [[Showdown Town]], when [[Lord of Games|L.O.G.]] is spoken to, he says that he invented first-person shooters, and he wished he hadn't bothered.

*In L.O.G's game storage room (where Grunty is in the end cutscene) there are various boxes with pictures the game they have inside. These include: Grabbed by the Ghoulies II, Cake Filler Instinct (a reference to Killer Instinct), Battletoads 2010, and Banjo Bash Buddies (a reference to Super Smash Bros.) These are more easily seen by going under [[Spiral Mountain]] with a glitch (the room is stored under spiral mountain) | |||
