Trivia / Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge

• Dummied Out: Many things were cut out in the final version of the game.
  • A mad cow was the original boss on the farm level.
  • The large mountain on the Fjord was removed when flying was removed from the game, and the remaining Fjord & Furnace sections were combined into one large level.
  • Mecha-Grunty was going to have different forms, such as a tank, bazooka, drill, etc.
  • "Monster Kazooie" was a concept, but a decision was made to not implement it in the game.
  • Swamp monsters (scorpion & spider).
  • Klungo's UFO was too big to fit on cartridge, and replaced with Gruntilda's ghost floating out of the rock & into the Mecha suit.
• What Could Have Been: The game was originally intended as a side-scrolling platformer on the Game Boy Color. It was moved to the GBA after development was temporarily put on hold in 2001. It was also meant to be a canonical 'what if' alternative to Banjo Tooie, detailing what would happen if Gruntilda never contacted her sisters and built a robot body instead. At some point this was scrapped and the game became an interquel set between the two Nintendo 64 games.
