**** Makes you wonder about the rivalry then...
== Stop N' Swap has something to do with Evangelion ==
* Specifically, there WAS no Stop N' Swap, Shinji was just hallucinating it.
** Oh, and the Ice Key is a Time Lord.
*** Alternatively, the Eggs contain the [[Dismantled MacGuffin|six pieces]] of the [[Doctor Who/Recap/S16 E1/E01 The Ribos Operation|Key to Time]], and the Ice Key is [[Buffy-Speak|that locator gizmo]].
** Grunty was a [[Death Note|Kira]] and Klungo was her shinigami.
** All of which is a creation of Haruhi Suzumiya.

== Banjoland is not a museum, it's a death threat to scare the duo into compliance ==
Put yourself in Banjo's place. You've been pulled from your home by a floating [[Computer Equals Monitor|computer screen,]] and are now forced to potter around in vehicles, a move that [[Lampshading|even the characters admit is silly.]] You'd be pretty angry, and L.O.G. obviously doesn't want his competitors rebelling against him - note how he goes to great pains to stop the violence at the beginning {{spoiler|and end}} of the game.
 
So he makes Banjoland. He does this by cruelly putting your childhood into a blender. He pulls apart Clanker, a robot shark who ''[[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|eats metal for a living]]'', and sticks him into the central heating. He melts the iconic Freezeezy Peak snowman, rips up a [[Shifting Sand Land|Gobi's Valley]] pyramid and plonks it down elsewhere, and arbitrarily moves Boggy's house here. This basically says, "I did this to your childhood. DON'T FUCK WITH ME."
Line 112:
This explains a ''whole'' lot. Toxic waste is everywhere in the factory, and it's not very clear how that waste was produced. Why is the factory producing this? So they can both create hazards for Banjo and Kazooie and so they can sell it to other video game baddies.
* I always assumed the factory produced (possibly radioactive) underpants, which would explain both the many boxes with "Big-O-Pants" written on them, as well as the presence of washing machines (and service elevators that can be operated by them). It is however possible that the production itself creates huge amounts of toxic waste as a byproduct for no reason other than [[For the Evulz|Grunty's amusement]]?
* I always thought Grunty just polluted [[For the Evulz]] in general, I mean look at other examples. Rusty Bucket Bay stays running at full power, constantly spewing out smog and draining oil in the water . . . even though the ship is docked. Its not moving, why is it running at full capacity? Also in ''Nuts & Bolts'' Grunty wants to turn Spiral Mountain into some sort of polluted Industrial Theme Park and Resort or something, again [[For the Evulz]] more or less. Gruntilda sometimes is the brand of evil we see in shows like Captain Planet, she's so evil she enjoys destroying the environment, just for the hell of it!
 
== Kazooie is an orphan. ==
Line 171:
== Tootie was picked the "fairest" for different reasons. ==
 
When Dingpot said Tootie was the fairest in the land, he didn't mean she was the prettiest or the most attractive. She was the most honest- she never lied or cheated, whereas Gruntilda was a pathological liar and cheater. Dingpot is supposed to speak in favor of Grunty, but the extreme difference between Grunty and Tootie's honesty confused him.
 
== Click Clock World isn't the final world of Banjo-Kazooie. ==
 
...It's the first world of Banjo-Tooie.
 
Confused at what I mean by this? Well, first, you know that certain worlds were swapped between ''Kazooie'' and ''Tooie'' during development, as they were developed simultaneously. Click Clock Wood is one such world. But that's not the primary thrust of my argument.
 
One of the main things separating ''Tooie'' from ''Kazooie'' was the second game's '''size and complexity.''' The worlds in ''Tooie'' are all ''much'' larger than the worlds in ''Kazooie,'' even the easy ones. The ways of getting the Jiggies are also ''much'' more complex and, in some cases, difficult. Even in Kazooie's more challenging worlds, there are still a number of jiggies just left "out in the open" for the player to find, and there are fewer involved puzzles. Whereas in ''Tooie,'' most jiggies are task-oriented.
 
However, Click Clock Wood, being the final world of ''Tooie,'' sticks out. Why? Well, for one thing, due to it having four different seasons (and a hub area), it is ''much'' larger geographically than any other world. The central tree is pretty tall vertically, as well. In addition, most of its jiggies are puzzle-oriented. Even the ones that are just "lying out" require you being in the right season to take advantage of the terrain or abilities available to you in some way. Others are more involved tasks, like bringing Eyrie caterpillars. As you can see, the world has more in common with the worlds of ''Tooie'' than it does the worlds of ''Kazooie.'' If you think of the games as a single game, with the worlds in a straight line of progression, then Click Clock Wood transitions perfectly into the larger and more task-oriented worlds of ''Tooie.''
Line 190:
They could be pulling it as a prank, and maybe use this as the force to make Banjo and Kazooie [[Ten Minutes in the Closet|place them in some sort of closed space so they could "resolve the issues,"]] but they will use it as alone time with each other. Why would they do this? It could be that the island is thinking that, both being sha(Wo)mans, they would have a rivalry. So they decided to fake the rivalry out. They couldv'e met after the first game, due to Mumbo saying "have a hot date" if you fail to get all 100 jiggies, yet clear the final boss. Also, the fact that Humba Wumba use the Bee spell and the Washing Machine spell from the first game could also let onto something.
 
Jump to Grunty's Revenge. Mumbo having little transformation spells could be that he is giving them the Humba Wumba since in Tooie, he lost all transformation powers and is just going around and doing the work (And [[Took a Level Inin Badass]].) on his own while Humba Wumba does all the transforming. Flash forward to Nuts And Bolts. They could be doing the same thing like in Tooie. And the marriage thing in Nutty Acres is just the excuse they need! And the rivalry was less serious, due to them being business rivals, they have a excuse to be rivals, and the only true hint that the rival is still going on is Mumbo saying "don't buy from her."
