Overview
- Players found a secret music player in the HyperMegaTech Super Pocket Rare Edition port of Banjo-Kazooie that unlocks after finishing the game and contains over 20 unreleased 'beta' tracks.
- Speedrunner and YouTuber TSR Stormed extracted and uploaded each track, enabling public cataloging and fan analysis of the files.
- The songs include early versions of known level themes such as Treasure Trove Cove and Mumbo Mountain plus music labeled for cut areas like 'Lava World,' 'Funfair,' 'Atlantis,' and 'Wintry Walk,' many of which were later reused in Banjo-Tooie.
- The Super Pocket port makes hardware-driven changes to the original game, including a new Tiptoeing button to compensate for no analog stick and cosmetic swaps like replacing Banjo’s Game Boy with a Super Pocket.
- Evercade has announced a premium Nexus handheld and an October cartridge bundle with enhanced Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, but the company has not confirmed whether the hidden jukebox or beta tracks will appear on those official releases.
