Changes: Weird West

Revision as of 10:42, 26 July 2018

Weird West is a scrapped world from Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. A variety of speculation and scattered developer hints suggests it would have been a western-styled world with a twist, such as polystyrene buildings.

Weird West appears to be quite a late cut. There are several remnants and references left to it throughout the game:

The seaside is the only section of Showdown Town without a world entrance. Instead, it has several boarded-up buildings discussed by local NPCs as being remnants, mentioning the docks used to be "twice as long" and "See all these boarded-up buildings? They used to have doors that led to the Weird West Game World. Legend tells of it being a wondrous place, but alas, it no longer exists."
L.O.G. has a comment relating to a similarly-named area: "You should be grateful, I could've sent you to Hoedown Town. It's awful. The music, the dancing! Oh my!"
The music played during L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges is very western-styled, and could be related to the cut world's music.
There are 131 Jiggies in the game. Adding one more world of a reasonable number of challenges would bring this number to a more even 150. In addition, there is an extra T. T. Trophy that would also be evened out.
There are two Grunty Challenges in Jiggosseum. One of them could have belonged to a cut world.
The inflatable sheep in Banjoland do not fit in the retro-themed area, while they would have fit in a western area.

+Weird West appears to be quite a late cut. There are several remnants and references left to it throughout the game:
-'''Weird West''' is a beta world from ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]''. This world was said to have a western theme but was not your average western world hence the name "Weird" West. Many speculate that this was the world with polystyrene buildings mentioned long ago. This world is referenced several times in the game by characters in [[Showdown Town]]. A villager references Weird West by saying it was once accessible through the boarded up windows and doorways found near the Pier. [[LOG]] makes the comment, "You should be grateful, I could've sent you to Hoedown Town. It's awful. The music, the dancing! Oh my!" A penguin in Showdown Town also makes a reference to this world saying, "You know the docks used to be twice as long? There used to be doors that lead to the Weird West game world."
+*The seaside is the only section of [[Showdown Town]] without a world entrance. Instead, it has several boarded-up buildings discussed by local NPCs as being remnants, mentioning the docks used to be "twice as long" and "See all these boarded-up buildings? They used to have doors that led to the Weird West Game World. Legend tells of it being a wondrous place, but alas, it no longer exists."
-Also (and this is just a hypothesis) [[Gruntilda]] has two challenges in the [[Jiggosseum]]. One of them could have been in Weird West (most likely 9-Ball Nightmare). The supposed Weird west theme is played in the jiggy challenges in L.O.G.'s lost challenges. Also, Banjo Kazooie has 131 jiggies and 1 extra T.T. Trophy. Most likely, there were 15 challenges in Weird West. If there were 15 challenges in Weird west, there would be 150 Jiggies and no extra T.T.'s, which is a more even number, like the other games.
+*[[L.O.G.]] has a comment relating to a similarly-named area: "You should be grateful, I could've sent you to Hoedown Town. It's awful. The music, the dancing! Oh my!"
+*The music played during L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges is very western-styled, and could be related to the cut world's music.
+*There are 131 [[Jiggies]] in the game. Adding one more world of a reasonable number of challenges would bring this number to a more even 150. In addition, there is an extra T. T. Trophy that would also be evened out.
+*There are two [[Grunty]] Challenges in [[Jiggosseum]]. One of them could have belonged to a cut world.
