Banjo-Threeie is a rumored third entry for the Banjo-Kazooie series that was intended to be made for the Nintendo GameCube in the early 2000s. The game was first hinted at the end of Banjo-Tooie, in which the character Gruntilda jokingly says "Just you wait until Banjo-Threeie...", which was speculated to be evidence that the game was at one point planned by fans. At SpaceWorld 2000, a small animation featuring characters from the Banjo-Kazooie series was shown, showing off the presence of Rare during the GameCube era of gaming. The animation features Banjo, Kazooie and Mumbo Jumbo being chased by enemies from Banjo-Tooie, all using their models from the game. In 2002, Rare was brought by Microsoft, which caused the cancellation of various games developed for Nintendo systems at the time, which would've included Banjo-Threeie. Despite any of this however, it's not exactly known if a game called Banjo-Threeie ever existed in a physical form.
