Line 23:
** 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 The Ribos Operation|Key to Time]], and the Ice Key is [[Buffy-Speak|that locator gizmo]].
** Grunty was a [[Death Note (Manga)|Kira]] and Klungo was her shinigami.
** All of which is a creation of Haruhi Suzumiya.
*** [[Boring Invincible Hero|Who was defeated by]] [[Batman]]
Line 48:
OK, [[Incredibly Lame Pun|bear]] with me here...
 
The Mario from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and the Donkey Kong from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' are the respective sons of Jumpman and the Donkey Kong / Cranky Kong from the original ''Donkey Kong''. After that, Diddy Kong, a character canonical in the [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]][[The Verse|verse]] due to his connection to the original DK (and some of the spin-offs as well), stars in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', in which our friend Banjo makes his first appearance. Since, as stated above, DKR is canonical in the Banjo-verse, Mario and Banjo inhabit different areas of the same world. Not to mention comments about "That Italian Gentleman" in both ''Banjo Tooie'' and ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''.
 
* While that could have been true originally, the fact that Rare was acquired by Microsoft and that Banjo and Conker were removed from DKRDS strongly suggests that the Banjo-verse, along with Conker, has since been [[Exiled From Continuity|removed from the Mario-verse]].
* This would explain why Banjo's world has no police officers...
** Actually there are police officers in Nuts & Bolts, but they're corrupt and (strangely) you can kill as many of them as you want without anything really bad happening.
* This also means that [[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|Hyrule]] exists in this world, as Link cameos in ''[[Super Mario RPG (Video Game)|Super Mario RPG]]'' and is mentioned in one of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' games. As [[Metroid|Samus Aran]] also cameos in ''[[Super Mario RPG (Video Game)|Super Mario RPG]]'', this world is in the same universe as Brinstar and the other planets of the ''[[Metroid]]'' series. So maybe we can expect Samus to show up in the next ''Banjo-Kazooie'' game.
** [[Metroid|Samus]] also cameos in a ''[[Kirby]]'' game. In ''[[Kirby Super Star (Video Game)|Kirby Super Star]]'', you can also find [[F-Zero|Captain Falcon's helmet]] and a few swords from ''[[Fire Emblem]]''.
*** How about we just say that all the games share the same '''universe''' more often than they share the same '''world'''? Otherwise, it doesn't ''quite'' seem to work. After all, the very serious Metroid series doesn't seem to work with the very silly Donkey Kong series. This troper ''will'' accept that Mario, Donkey Kong, and Banjo all share the same world, however. As for Conker, how about we call that an alternate reality of the Banjo world.
 
== Alternatively, Banjoland is an parallel universe to the [[Super Mario Bros.|Mushroom Kingdom]] ==
Just like Hyrule and Termina. Everything in the Banjo universe seems almost surreal, but still a little similar to Mario, and not to mention ''everything is sentient''. You also must collect a lot of [[MacGuffin|Jiggies]], which are similar to collecting power stars.
 
Line 72:
The conclusion? All that stuff about beauty and revenge is an outright fabrication. Grunty does it [[For the Evulz|for the evulz.]]
* Given her apparent immortality, it's quite possible that she's [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|really really bored]].
** Does this mean that [[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)ni|Grunty is Beatrice and Banjo & Kazooie are her Battler, sans the moe-moe?]] '''I THINK SO.'''
*** LOG is Bernkastel.
 
== [[FostersFoster's Home for Imaginary Friends]] supplies everything in the Banjo world. ==
* That explains why almost everything is sentient and comes back within 30 seconds of being killed.
 
Line 102:
== Clanker wasn´t always the trash munching monstrosity we know today and his cavern was once pristine and clean ==
Clanker once was a normal [[Buffy-Speak|shark thing]] living peacefully in his grotto, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRbHCQvaSLw evidenced here]. until Gruntilda and Klungo came and performed horrible experiments on him and eventually transformed him into a trash compactor. His home became horribly polluted and closed shut with layers of steel. One can still see the organic remnants of Clanker's past when joruneying inside him. [[Fridge Horror|This only makes his eventual fate at Banjoland much more horyfying]]
* This makes Clanker the biggest [[The Woobie|woobie]] in history. Also, talk about [[Body Horror|body horror]].
* That may explain why the water in his cavern remains cleaner than that of Rusty Bucket Bay : the latter one's was polluted for longer.
 
Line 126:
It'd explain why someone so important to Banjo was only there for one game. She lives with their parents somewhere, but was visiting Banjo. Then the first game happens.
* I always assumed this was canon anyway, based on the fact Tootie had no idea who Grunty was (despite the fact Grunty lives like half a mile away and her palace in the shape of her '''GIANT HEAD''' is right there), and Grunty had never heard of Tootie before. Plus it seemed Tootie as the 'prettiest person in Spiral Mountain' had only happened recently, i.e. when she came to visit Banjo to "[[Be Careful What You Wish For|go on an adventure]]".
** And her [[Face Onon a Milk Carton]] you find in the second game could have come from the time when she was kidnapped by Grunty and her parents didn't know that she'd been taken or that Banjo was saving her (after all, we have no idea how long the beauty-transferring machine takes to work, could be days or even weeks). This would, if nothing else, explain why the only place you find that Carton is in a rubbish bin that obviously hasn't been emptied for a ''very'' long time (say, two years, give or take.) The "missing since Banjo-Kazooie" bit could easily just refer to the beginning of that game, since the fact that they are in a game world seems to be common knowledge.
 
== Loggo is L.O.G in a different form... ==
Line 139:
** This would explain why she stopped rhyming in the sequel, she realized that Stop 'N' Swop was removed, so she didn't have a reason to rhyme anymore.
 
== Banjos backpack is [[Bigger Onon the Inside]] ==
How else does kazooie fit in there?
* Not to mention Banjo can fit creatures or things TWICE HIS SIZE into his backpack. 'Course, that's thanks to the Taxi Pack ability...
Line 188:
I know, far fetched, but hear me out.
 
They could be pulling it as a prank, and maybe use this as the force to make Banjo and Kazooie [[Ten Minutes in Thethe 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 In 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."
Line 200:
So, what do you think, guys? What kind of personalities do you think each of those young characters should have?
 
== L.O.G. is [[I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream|AM]]. ==
He controls all within [[Nightmare Fuel|his world]], and he's just stringing the main characters along. Also, the world Ted and the others are in is a video game, which is why AM can control everything.
