Some people that worked at Rareware sold some elusive items on ebay and among those items there was this picture:
i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMjQ…
It's a picture of the real beta Temple level from Banjo-Kazooie also Kazooie was called just "Kazoo" back then...
I've been attempting to reconstruct this level for quite some time and I got pretty close to the real deal... But now that it is finally revealed I am going to produce a further enhanced version of it which is going to appear on my comic.

I know this journal is very late but anyway it had to be done.
Hear it from Grant Kirkhope himself here: entertainmentdrivethru.com/gra…

Stop'N'Swop was originally a communication between the Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey-Kong 64 games... The Stop'N'Swop mysterious eggs are easter eggs which in the world of gaming is a form of art secretly implanted into the game by the developers, the "?" eggs are a reference to this yes... That's exactly why they are eggs and the reason why there is a key is because SNS is a key to open a door from one universe to the other more specifically from Rareware's universe to Nintendo's universe... On the Dreams'N'Nightmares story however there is a much more powerful version of Stop'N'Swop which is based on the original concept but this time it allows Banjo-Kazooie to go literally anywhere you could possibly imagine...

The Dreams'N'Nightmares project is going through some changes. 
The Banjo-Kazooie story will be called "Sync With The Music" and it's going to be a beautiful story about the world of Banjo-Kazooie and not just about Banjo and Kazooie alone, in this story it'll seem they're more connected to the rest of the world than usual... There are going to be 5 "B-K rivals" which are "Backpack duos" similar to Banjo and Kazooie, they all have names based on musical instruments (except for Elektra) and are musicians with a signature instrument which matches their name... The greatest rivals are called "Elektra-Guitar" Elektra is a magenta breegull larger than Kazooie with electric powers and Guitar is a bear larger than Banjo with orange shorts and green backpack (which is a reference to Edison's clothes)... Both Elektra and Guitar are far more serious and aggressive than Banjo and Kazooie and they also appear to be united by sadness (Elektra and Guitar share sad lives and comfort eachother), unlike Banjo Guitar is very active and curious and unlike Kazooie Elektra is always very serious and never makes jokes or satires or ironies, Elektra's specialty is electronic instruments such as the theremin and she does not have a specific signature instrument and Guitar's signature instrument is the guitar... The other duos are not going to be Bears and Birds and I'm thinking about making a contest to develop those characters... In this contest you'll have to think about a backpack duo, their characteristics and their powers and I'm going to design them, if you want you can design them yourself and show me which is going to be more interesting but it's not needed... Just keep in mind they can't be bears and birds and that they are going to be antagonists... I'm going to make a poster to advertise the contest with all the needed information. This contest will take place here on Deviantart and also on Rareware central...
