Edison was originally the main character in ''Dream'', which started out on the Super NES as an RPG featuring pre-rendered graphics much like the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games. It was determined that the game was too big for the SNES, so development was moved to the Nintendo 64, to make ''Dream'' a 3D RPG with environments created by stretching out the polygons. However, the N64 didn't have the processing power needed to maintain such environments at a steady frame rate. | Edison was originally the main character in ''Dream'', which started out on the Super NES as an RPG featuring pre-rendered graphics much like the ''Donkey Kong Country'' games.

Seeing ''Conker's Twelve Tales'' (which would become ''Conker's Bad Fur Day'') well underway in development, ''Dream'' was remade into a platformer with some of the RPG elements. Eventually, Edison was deemed "too generic" and was scrapped, as Rare then experimented with woodland characters that were originally secondary characters. One of these characters would eventually become [[Banjo]]. ''Dream'' was eventually scrapped, and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' was made from that point. | Seeing ''Conker's Twelve Tales'' (which would become ''Conker's Bad Fur Day'') well underway in development, ''Dream'' was remade into a platformer with some of the RPG elements.

Because Edison and his game were discarded, we do not fully know about his personality. However, it can be said that since he stirred up trouble with Captain Blackeye and his pirates he is mischievous. It can also be interpreted that because he was in fact an inspiration for creating Banjo it can be said that he is a kind and polite person, but just seems to get into a lot of mishaps. | Because Edison and his game were discarded, we do not fully know about his personality.
