Text Differences

This is a sub-page of Proto:Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge.

This article has just been started and needs the article basics added.
Help us out and add them.

To do:

Here are some text dumps: 0.37, 0.40, final. Best handled with something like WinMerge.
Apparently some lines had their spacing altered? The comparisons below (sourced from the dumps) don't get this across, as there are very few actual line break commands in the ROM. This needs to be checked in-game.

Changes made between prototypes 0.37.08 and 0.40.58 are highlighted in the 0.40.58 column. Likewise, further changes between 0.40.58 and the final version are highlighted in the final (0.42.75) column.
In both prototypes there are four extra copies of the English text, which serve as placeholders for the European localizations. Interestingly, for the 0.37 build, these sometimes reveal earlier revisions of text that had already been cut or changed by that point.

Introduction#

0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
KLUNGO... CAN'T... SHIFT... ROCK. MISTRESS GRUNTILDA CAN'T GET OUT! MAYBE KLUNGO CAN MAKE SOMETHING TO HELP GRUNTY.	KLUNGO... NOT... SSSHIFT... ROCK. MISSSTRESSS GRUNTILDA NOT GET OUT! MAYBE KLUNGO MAKE SSSOMETHING TO HELP GRUNTY.

Klungo's dialogue is missing his hissing and improper grammar.

0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
MISTRESS CAN ESCAPE IF SHE CAN USE MAGIC SPELL TO GET HER GHOST OUT FROM UNDER ROCK AND INTO MECHA-GRUNTY.	MISSSTRESSS CAN ESSSCAPE IF SSSHE USSSE MAGIC SSSPELL TO GET GHOSSST OUT FROM UNDER ROCK AND INTO MECHA-GRUNTY.

Same changes here.

Grunty's Castle#

To do:
Should be moved to the end of the page (internally it is stored first).

0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
MUMBO'S HUT	MUMBO'S PAD
GRUNTY'S QUARRY	QUARRY HEIGHTS
COTTAGERS FARM	COTTAGER'S FARM
MINJY JONGO	MINGY JONGO

"Mumbo's Hut" was updated to match its final in-game name.
The wrong answer "Cottager's Farm" had an apostrophe added.
The typo on "Mingy Jongo" (a call forward to Tooie) was fixed.

0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
DRAT, I'LL SEE YOU AT THE NEXT FIGHT, SEEMS YOU GOT THE ANSWER RIGHT.	DRAT, I'LL SEE YOU AT THE NEXT FIGHT, IT SEEMS YOU GOT THE ANSWER RIGHT.

An "it" was added to make the sentence less fragmented.

0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
HA, YOU GOT THE ANSWER WRONG, I DON'T THINK YOU'LL BE LIVING LONG.	HAH, YOU GOT THE ANSWER WRONG, I DON'T THINK YOU'LL BE LIVING LONG.

"Ha" was lengthened out to "hah".

Miscellaneous#

To do:
Ditto.

0.37.08/0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
SAVING... PLEASE DO NOT TURN POWER OFF	SAVING... PLEASE DO NOT SWITCH OFF POWER

The saving message was slightly reworded.

Banjo	I'D BETTER HOP TO IT AND GET THOSE NOTES QUICK!

Bozzeye's accent is much less phonetic in later builds, presumably because it made him hard to understand.
- He is a little more excited by the light show in the prototypes.
- All occurrences of "mole hill" were altered to "molehill" in the final game.
- "It's true, I tell you" was prefaced by a "no" in the final version, in order to make the "mumbo jumbo" pun clearer.
Banjo's dialogue was slightly tweaked to add commas and a question mark. This is also a pretty common change across versions.
- His last two lines are only present in the 0.37 build. Somebody must have thought they were redundant, though the cut makes Bozzeye's Pack Whack line make a bit less sense.

Bozzeye's text at the start of the game is translated in French in 0.40.58, although it is still in a rough shape:

Like with the English version, Bozzeye is a little more excited by the light show in the prototype.
Some terms of the game aren't translated in the prototype, like Pack Whack or Bozzeye, while the term move was changed from démarche to manœuvre in the final version to be clearer.
A lot of typos and punctuation mistakes are present in the prototype, which were fixed in the final version.
Overall, while keeping the same meaning, the text was rewritten to be less awkward and less directly translated in the final version.

0.37.08 (English)	0.37.08 (International)
YOU'LL NEED TA LEARN THA 'PACK WHACK' FIRST. I'VE LEFT MY LESSONS AT THA NEXT MOLEHILL JUST NORTH OF HERE. PRESS (A) AND I'LL COME A RUNNIN'. ýONE MORE THING.

BE SURE TA BRING 10 MUSICAL NOTES WITH YA. I AIN'T DOIN' THIS FER CHARITY! SO YOU'LL NEED TA COLLECT NOTES TA TRADE FOR MOVES.

The international placeholders are missing the space after the first period.

0.37.08	0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
YA LOOK A LITTLE LOST. HEAD NORTH AND COLLECT THA NOTES AS YA JUMP UP THA STEPS. YOU'LL NEED TA CALL ME TA THA NEXT MOLE HILL WITH THA (A) .	YOU LOOK A LITTLE LOST. HEAD NORTH AND COLLECT THE NOTES AS YOU JUMP UP THE STEPS. YOU'LL NEED TO CALL ME AT THE NEXT MOLE HILL WITH (A).	YOU LOOK A LITTLE LOST. HEAD NORTH AND COLLECT THE NOTES AS YOU JUMP UP THE STEPS. YOU'LL NEED TO CALL ME AT THE NEXT MOLEHILL WITH (A).

Buttons are consistently referred to in the 0.37 build as "the [X]", rather than "the [X] button" or simply just "[X]".
The 0.37 line contains an extraneous space after the button icon.

0.37.08	0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
SO YA THINK YER READY TA HARNESS THA DESTRUCTIVE POWER OF THA PACK WHACK EH? WELL THINK AGAIN SONNY. COME BACK WITH 10 NOTES!

SO YOU THINK YOU'RE READY TO HARNESS THE DESTRUCTIVE POWER OF THE 'PACK WHACK', EH? WELL, THINK AGAIN, SONNY. COME BACK WITH 10 NOTES!

Commas and quotation marks were added in the final version.

	0.37.08	0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
Bozzeye	WELL, WELL THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! LEMME SEE THEM NOTES!		WELL NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! LEMME SEE THEM NOTES!
Banjo	HERE YOU GO BOZZEYE.		HERE YOU GO, BOZZEYE.

JUST WHACK THE SWITCH ON THE FLOOR TO OPEN THE DOOR. BUT BEFORE YOU GO INTO THE TEMPLE, WHY NOT TRY TALKIN' TO THE JINJO ORACLE? SHE MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR BIRD.
Banjo	THANKS BOZZEYE! SEE YOU AT THE NEXT MOLE HILL.		THANKS, BOZZEYE! SEE YOU AT THE NEXT MOLEHILL.

All instances of "OK" were changed to the more grammatically correct "okay".
Bozzeye refers to the Oracle directly as a statue in 0.37.

	0.37.08	0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
Banjo	HOW DO I DO THAT WHACK THING AGAIN?		HOW'S THAT WHACK THING DONE AGAIN?
Bozzeye	JUST STAND STILL 'N PRESS (B) TA DO THA PACK WHACK. YA KIN PRACTICE ON THEM TWIG PILES OVER THERE.	JUST STAND STILL 'N PRESS (B) TO DO THE PACK WHACK. YOU CAN PRACTICE ON TWIG PILES.	JUST STAND STILL 'N' PRESS (B) TO DO THE 'PACK WHACK'. YOU CAN PRACTICE ON PILES OF TWIGS.

Banjo's line was reworded in the final version.
All instances of Bozzeye's "'n" had an extra apostrophe added.
Bozzeye's last sentence was reworked in every version.

Cliff Farm#

	0.37.08	0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
Bozzeye	HEY BANJO, YA'LL NEED A FEW MORE NOTES 'FORE I KIN TEACH YA HOW TA SWIM UNDER WATER.ýCOME 'N SEE ME WHEN YA'VE COLLECTED 21 NOTES.	HEY BANJO, YOU'LL NEED A FEW MORE NOTES 'FORE I CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO SWIM UNDERWATER.ýCOME 'N SEE ME WHEN YOU'VE COLLECTED 25 NOTES.	HEY BANJO, YOU'LL NEED A FEW MORE NOTES 'FORE I CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO SWIM UNDERWATER.ýCOME 'N' SEE ME WHEN YOU'VE COLLECTED 25 NOTES.
Banjo	ALRIGHT GRAMPY I'LL GET THE OTHER NOTES AND SEE YOU SOON.		ALRIGHT GRAMPY, I'LL GET THE OTHER NOTES AND SEE YOU SOON.

The cost of this move was bumped up in 0.40.
"Underwater" is two words in 0.37.
A comma was added after "Grampy".

	0.37.08	0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
Bozzeye	OKAY BANJO, IT LOOKS LIKE YA'VE GOT ENOUGH NOTES TA LEARN THA UNDERWATER DIVE.	OKAY BANJO, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH NOTES TO LEARN THE UNDERWATER DIVE.	RIGHT, BANJO, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH NOTES TO LEARN THE UNDERWATER DIVE.
Banjo	GREAT, I CAN'T WAIT TO TAKE A DIP INTO SOME WATERY CREVICES.
Bozzeye	LET'S SEE. YOU'LL NEED TA FIND A SPOT WITH PLENTY OF AIR, SO KEEP TA SPOTS WHERE BUBBLES COME TA THA SURFACE. ýWHEN YUR NEAR THEM BUBBLES JUST PRESS (R) TA DIVE UNDER. ýWHILE YER DOWN THERE USE (A) TA SWIM HIGHER AND MAKE SURE YA KEEP TOPPIN' UP YER AIR SUPPLY.

OH, AND PRESS (R) TO HEAD BACK TO THE SURFACE.
Banjo	OKAY, I'LL GIVE IT A TRY. ARE THERE ANY BUBBLY WATER SPOTS NEARBY?
Bozzeye	WHY NOT TRY THAT POOL BY THA WITCH GATE?	WHY NOT TRY THAT POOL TO THE LEFT?

Bozzeye's explanation had some general copyediting done in the final version.
Since the pool next to Bozzeye is not swimmable in 0.37, he refers to a different one instead.

	0.37.08	0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
Bozzeye	WHICH BIT DIDN'T YA GIT? þLOOK FOR BUBBLES, PRESS (R) TA DIVE, AND USE (A) TA SWIM HIGHER! AND USE (R) TA GIT BACK TA THA SURFACE.	WHICH BIT DIDN'T YOU GET? þLOOK FOR BUBBLES, PRESS (R) TO DIVE, AND USE (A) TO SWIM HIGHER! AND USE (R) TO GET BACK TO THE SURFACE.	WHICH BIT DIDN'T YOU GET? þLOOK FOR BUBBLES, PRESS (R) TO DIVE, AND USE (A) TO SWIM HIGHER! PRESS (R) TO GET BACK TO THE SURFACE.
Banjo	THANKS.

The grammatically wrong use of "and" was written out of the final game.

	0.37.08	0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
Bozzeye	DO YA THINK YA GIT THESE MOVES FOR FREE? DON'T LET ME SEE YA AGAIN 'TIL YA GOT 42 NOTES TA TRADE FER THA BRILLIANT ROLL ATTACK!	DO YOU THINK YOU GET THESE MOVES FOR FREE? DON'T LET ME SEE YOU AGAIN 'TIL YOU GOT 60 NOTES TO TRADE FOR THE BRILLIANT ROLL ATTACK!	DO YOU THINK YOU GET THESE MOVES FOR FREE? DON'T LET ME SEE YOU AGAIN 'TIL YOU GOT 60 NOTES TO TRADE FOR THE BRILLIANT 'ROLL ATTACK'!
Banjo	I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY HI, BUT SINCE YOU'VE GOT A MOVE FOR ME I'LL FETCH THA EXTRA NOTES, . . . GRUMPY MOLE.	I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY HI, BUT SINCE YOU'VE GOT A MOVE FOR ME I'LL FETCH THE EXTRA NOTES, . . . GRUMPY MOLE.	I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY HI, BUT SINCE YOU'VE GOT A MOVE FOR ME I'LL FETCH THE EXTRA NOTES... GRUMPY MOLE.

The roll attack is cheaper in 0.37.
One of Bozzeye's speech patterns seems to have rubbed off on Banjo in 0.37.
"Roll attack" is rendered in quotation marks in the final game.
The ellipses on Banjo's last line are spaced out in the prototypes. As well, there is an erroneous comma before them that was removed.

	0.37.08	0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
Bozzeye	ALRIGHTY, GOOD TA SEE YA BROUGHT ENOUGH OF THA GLITTERY STUFF. TRY THIS USEFUL ROLL ATTACK. JUST PRESS (B) WHILE YER ON THA MOVE TA SEND'UM REELIN'!	ALRIGHTY, GOOD TO SEE YOU BROUGHT ENOUGH OF THE GLITTERY STUFF. TRY THIS USEFUL ROLL ATTACK. JUST PRESS (B) WHILE YOU'RE ON THE MOVE TO SEND'UM REELIN'! ýWHY NOT HAVE A TRY ON THE 'ROLL SWITCH' OVER THERE.	ALRIGHTY, GOOD TO SEE YOU BROUGHT ENOUGH OF THE GLITTERY STUFF. TRY THIS USEFUL 'ROLL ATTACK'. JUST PRESS (B) WHILE YOU'RE ON THE MOVE TO SEND'EM REELIN'! ýWHY NOT HAVE A TRY ON THE ROLL SWITCH OVER THERE?
Banjo	SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S JUST THE ATTACK I'M LOOKING FOR BOZZEYE.		SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S JUST THE ATTACK I'M LOOKING FOR, BOZZEYE.

Bozzeye does not mention a Roll Switch in 0.37.
- His suggestion to try it erroneously ends with a period instead of a question mark in 0.40.
"Roll Switch" was similarly given quotation marks in 0.40, but they were removed from the final script.
"Send 'em reelin'" was given a more standard, less phonetic spelling in the final game.

0.37.08	0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
DID ONE A THEM GRUNTLIN'S KNOCK YA SILLY OR SUMMAT? TA DO THA ROLL ATTACK YA JUST GOTTA PRESS (B) WHILE YER ON THA GO!	DID ONE A THEM GRUNTLIN'S KNOCK YOU SILLY OR SUMMAT?

"One o' them" was also made less phonetic.

0.37.08	Final (0.42.75)
RIGHT THEN BANJO, YA'VE GOT ENOUGH NOTES TA LEARN HOW TA CLIMB.	RIGHT THEN BANJO, YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH NOTES TO LEARN HOW TO CLIMB.

Once again with the changes to Bozzeye's grammar.

Kazooie	OVER WHERE?!		OVER WHERE?
Banjo	KAZOOIE!!

Grammar fixes.
Kazooie's "over where?" is a bit more energetic in the prototypes.

0.37.08	0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
HOLD (L) AND PRESS (B) TA GO INTA FIRIN' MODE. THEN PRESS (B) TA FIRE EGGS, OR (L) TA GIT OUT OF FIRIN' MODE.	HOLD (L) AND PRESS (B) TO GO INTO FIRIN' MODE. THEN PRESS (B) TO FIRE EGGS, OR (L) TO GET OUT OF FIRIN' MODE.

More Bozzeye speech changes.

0.37.08	0.40.58	Final (0.42.75)
YA DON'T LOOK TOO WELL. HERE HAVE THIS.	YOU DON'T LOOK TOO WELL. HERE HAVE THIS.	YOU DON'T LOOK TOO WELL. HERE, HAVE THIS.

Ditto, as well as an added comma.

	0.37.08
Banjo	KAZOOIE! ARE YA ALRIGHT?! I HOPE I DIDN'T HIT YOU TOO HARD.
Kazooie	IT'S OKAY BANJO, THOSE PACK WHACKS ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO THE PUNISHMENT GRUNTY'S GOING TO GET NEXT TIME I SEE HER!

Unlike the rest of the early text, it's not entirely clear where this would have gone. Perhaps Banjo once had to use the Pack Whack to free Kazooie? (At any rate, he's not nearly as apologetic once he learns the Breegull Bash in Tooie...)

Commas were added and they added the correct form for "Jiggy's".

Ripvoski's dialogue has been respaced and slightly reworded.
