3rd Party Characters?

Since Rareware has officially left Nintendo and taken Banjo and Conker with them, would those characters be "3rd Party Characters" now? Stumpers! 16:09, 10 June 2007 (EDT)

I'm not really sure, since they haven't actually appeared in an Extended Marioverse game since becoming third-party characters, should they be counted as them? - Sir Grodus

That's what I think, anyway. Remember, they got over-written in Diddy Kong Racing DS if you see that as a replacement for the original. It would seem that they really have no connection anymore, not even the connection that 3rd Party Characters are implied to have. Stumpers! 16:30, 10 June 2007 (EDT)

They're ex-2nd party characters at best. Booster

Hmm... there's so much gray area with this... maybe we should just call them 3rd party to be sure. Stumpers! 00:42, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

Every character owned by Rare is considered third-party.Knife (talk) 13:18, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

That settles it then. And I see someone already added it! Stumpers! 16:06, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

Kazooie!

Kazooie is a much more important character than Bottles, she should have her own page! I should know; I own both of the original games; and I know that in N&B he was only a minor part. Yes, I know that he was in a comic, but Banjo has his own article. Besides, Kazooie appears in more Banjo games than Bottles does.Krizzy 16:24, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

I guess it is because Banjo appears in Diddy Kong Racing while Bottle has Club Nintendo articles going for him. Kazooie has the N-Gang comics behind him, but it isn't as Mario-centric as Club Nintendo. Number of appearance has nothing to do with whether an something should get its own article when it comes to outside series, otherwise Gruntilda would have an article too.--Knife (talk) 17:35, 24 November 2010 (UTC)


Kazooie is female. Krizzysig1.pngKrizzy!Me, chat, contribs, &c.Krizzysig2.png 00:12, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Picture

The picture is from a 360 only game. If you ask me, the picture should be from the most recent game he appeared in when he was a Nintendo character. Artwork of Dry Bowser with his Standard Kart from Mario Kart WiiI serve Dry Bowser! Dry Bowser OWNS! File-DeviantBones.png

Re: Current Edit War

Don't we normally have pages like these to discuss reasons behind edits so we don't get a constant string of undos? Lord Grammaticus 18:29, 13 December 2011 (EST)

I explained in my edit summary. Previous Nintendo logo (2006-2016): In 2006, the logo's color scheme was changed from red to gray and the registered symbol was made more smaller.64Fan (Discussion)

So long as the constant reverts are overwith. Lord Grammaticus 18:33, 13 December 2011 (EST)

Banjo=one of the Brothers Bear?

Could it be that Banjo and his family are related to the Brothers Bear from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!? He's an anthropomorphic bear, a friend of Diddy Kong, his name starts with a "B" (just like the other Brothers Bear), he was created by Rareware, and the landscape of the early Banjo games looks very similar to the Northern Kremisphere of DKC 3.

Unrelated, huh? That's a shame. I think that would've been a great opportunity for Rare to tie the Banjo and Donkey Kong Country series together. Though I imagine Microsoft wouldn't want to give the rights back to Nintendo. EldritchNexus (talk) 17:43, 18 July 2015 (EDT)
