The reason Banjo looks kinda puffy here is because the fur is using similar techniques from Conker: Live & Reloaded and Viva Pinata. Which is another difference.

No, the Super Smash Bros Ultimate model is not the same one from Banjo-X. It's possible it could've been referenced, but the similarities are because they're the same exact character and based on the Nintendo 64 version. Biggest difference is the backpack.

We already have Grunty Industries and Grunty's Lair, so I think that's too many Grunty named locations.

If we treated Banjo-Tooie's unused levels for a theoretical Banjo-Threeie like Tooie did with Kazooie. We'd get 10 levels. White is the made up names, the yellow is what is written by Gregg Mayles in one of his concept documents. #BanjoKazooie

Interesting Bits: Lava Island which merged with Ice Cave to become Hailfire Peaks once had a Jungle.
Unused: Mushroom, Stilt Town, Oil Rig, Giantland, Mountain/Birdman City Bramble, Mythology, and Dam.
Mushroom = Cloud Cuckooland.
I asked OlieGamerTV if I could have his complete rip of the Banjo-X model found in Viva Pinata and he obliged.

This is going to be a bigger project than I thought. Trying to piece together Banjo-Tooie's maps and fit them on the topology of the maps shared by Gregg Mayles. Without modifying the maps I'll have to slightly modify the topology.

Apparently my autocorrect didn't work for me. Any who, Gregg said it is not Fungi Forest, it's actually a different scrapped world.

Looks like Grunty's Revenge used it as a reference, concept art of a similar flying cauldron exists for that game too.
