I guess "final game" is misleading, I do still plan to separate Freezing Fjord and Fiery Furnace since both maps are available and I have all the dialogue ripped.

I think I'll be rolling back on some of my plans to incorporate a lot of the cut content from Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Curse and BKGR Mobile. I might do it later, but my focus right now will be to focus on stuff that was in the final game and change things to be more like BK/BT.
Working on BKGRR again, here's a peak at my current iteration of Cliff Farm. Initially, it was too cramped, so I stretched the level out a bit more. Adjusted some locations like the "Egg Scramble" mini-game so it's not on the same cliff as the climbing Jiggy. #BanjoKazooie
Banjo-Kazooie is being rereleased on the Super Pocket, alongside with Conker's Pocket Tales, and several others.

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.
Unfortunately, I was part of a group of layoffs this last week. I know I've been slow on any of my projects including this Twitter account, but it might become slower as I look for work so I don't lose my house.

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.
Tooty was playable and used her flute as a weapon during Tooie's development when trying to figure out keeping Music Notes in the game.

Gregg Mayles confirms that Spiral Mountain is not on the Isle O' Hags, but they share a continent.

If Banjo-Tooie did not have technical limitations, this is what the players would've seen from Jinjo Village.
