Current Playtonic dev and former Banjo-Kazooie dev Steve Mayles recently talked a bit about the classic bird and bear duo in a Nintendo Life interview. During the discussion, we learn that there was a rather funny character animation originally meant for Banjo-Kazooie, but it ended up being cut.

“There were plenty of ideas, of course, some which made it over into Banjo-Tooie, but in terms of assets, we wasted very little. There was an awesome new idle animation for Banjo-Kazooie, ‘cack bad egg’, where Kazooie hilariously pooped out a rotten egg which gassed Banjo. But Chris didn’t put it in. I’ve never forgiven him.
