** Made worst in the Xbox 360 demo of the game, where upon completing it, you see the Game Over cutscene, meaning in that demo, this is [[Downer Ending|the canon ending]].
▲* The [[Game Over]] screen, [[Donkey Kong Country (Video Game)/Nightmare Fuel|true to Rare tradition]], where Gruntilda [[The Bad Guy Wins|succeeds at stealing Tooty's beauty]]: the former becomes [[Evil Is Sexy|a shapely]], [[Ms. Fanservice|sexy villainess]], while Tooty turns into a green monster and starts lashing at the camera repeatedly: [[You Bastard|"Banjo, your sister wants a word with you...now!"]]. What makes it worse that, as it happened in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', the sequence [[Guilt Based Gaming|is also triggered when quitting the game]]. All of this is backed up by the BGM, a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wg0-J55EsUU brief rearrangement of Grunty's theme] [[Stealth Pun|played by]] [[Irony|a Banjo.]]
* Clanker's Cavern, Glitter Gulch Mine and Jolly Roger's Lagoon all share [[Psycho Strings]] as part of their BGM.
* Some of the monsters in the games include worms that pop out of broken grates, life-vests with teeth, pipes with teeth and killer venus-fly-traps.

** Not to mention the well, which is on a raised area overlooking a pool of deadly water. Inside is, of course water, but in each direction is tentacles, forboding you from collecting all of the notes safely.
* Rusty Bucket Bay. Water so toxic that it drowns you on the surface - that's two [[Primal Fear|Primal Fears]] in one. And it isn't optional.
** Oh, and by the way... [[
** The Grimlets in Rusty Bucket Bay are especially terrifying. They're basically metal pipes with huge fangs that lunge at Banjo and Kazooie when they get too near. They look like [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080407060850/banjokazooie/images/a/ad/Grimlet.png this] in the actual game, but their beta design was [http://i45.tinypic.com/1h7az8.jpg even worse.]
*** Don't forget, the Grimlets are disguised as regular pipes in which you go to to get certain items, the player more likely to first encounter a regular pipe before a Grimlet. They're virtually indistinguishable between the two...
