Beta Banjo-Kazooie: Project Dream (TSCOGL Part 1)

Lately I've been playing Banjo-Kazooie and watching various videos of beta theories by Banjo fans. After watching a handful of them, I became inspired to gather up all the beta information I could find and create my own theories, some of which support the theories of other fans.

What you are about to see is the official beta information of beta Banjo-Kazooie, but with my own speculation. Some information might be inaccurate, but I will try to piece everything together as best as I can. Keep in mind that I am ignoring the placements of Witch Switches, Cheato rooms, and other similar lair objects (with the exception of Jiggy Pedistals) as I feel that they weren't exactly planned in beta.

Feel free to comment and inform me of any inaccuracies I may come across. Now get ready to witness the mystery that is... Banjo-Kazooie.

-PART 1-

Before we start our exploration we should first discover the past of Banjo-Kazooie: Project Dream.

Songs Used:
0:00-0:25 Banjo-Tooie Intro Theme
0:26-2:54 Advent (Beta Project Dream song)
2:55-3:14 Raindance (Beta Mumbo Transformation)

EDIT: 1,000 views?!? I can't believe this video is that popular!

where can i find the credits song?

[FungiGamer]

@weegeeluv3r There used to be a downloadable MP3 for it on Rare's website but unfortunately I think everything Banjo related has been scrapped from the site by Rare's new owners. If it's been removed you might have to search for Mumbo's Raindance here on Youtube and hope someone has an MP3, otherwise find a "Youtube to MP3 Converter" on Google. Hope that helps!

Anyone know the song played through out the majority of this incredible video? Anyone? I would love to know what it is. And also maybe the one at the end of the video during the credits. Anyone know that one two?

Thanks

@helltbrother2 It's the song "Advent" from Project Dream, it was somehow left deep within Banjo-Kazooie's coding. The other one is another song left in the game entitled "Raindance" which may have been the beta tune for Mumbo's Transformations

its too bad they didn't keep project dream... it looked interesting

[FungiGamer]

@XxXkeeplookinupXxX considering the technology Rare has access to now it would be nice to see it, unfortunately it won't live up to expectations without the original team...

0:44 This house texture can you see in Jolly Roger on Banjo Tooie

I miss Banjo... I HATE YOU BILL GATES!!!! (Leader of Microsoft)

[SammEater]

Damn, I wish this game was launched the way the Rare team wanted... T.T

The final game is awesome of course, but Dream looked pretty epic.

i noticed that they took the mumbo's raindance song and put parts of it in to BT

[zacksterful]

This is why I love the BK series... THE SECRETS!

Hammerhead Beach is a beta name for Treasure Trove Cove since that, in a Nintendo Power magazine, they showed Hamerhead Beach but in fact, it IS Treasure Trove Cove. Btw, Banjo-Tooie's level are almost from the beta of Kazooie, wich is pretty funny (at least for me lol). I love the fact that my favorite DK64 level was suposed to be in B-K! I love those games so much! I still play them sometimes even nowadays.

I always wondered what if they kept all the beta games Rare made for us to try
