Characters
There were a few main characters in the story who made it into Banjo-Kazooie, excluding Edison. The characters of Dream did include Banjo the bear himself, who was a secondary character in the game before Rare removed Edison and replaced Banjo as the main character. Captain Blackeye was removed when Rare redeveloped Dream into Banjo-Kazooie, although Blackeye himself makes an appearance in Banjo-Tooie.
There were also a few outlining minor characters in the game. Edison's girlfriend Madeleine was a character specified by Grant Kirkhope. Other characters specified by Kirkhope are Bully, Big Belly and Cockeye, for which he composed musical themes. An unnamed rabbit was later changed to the main character when Edison was removed. Tooty eventually appeared in Banjo-Kazooie, and an unspecified dog was a secondary character. Gruntilda was initially a giant in the game and later changed into the main antagonist of Banjo-Kazooie, and Tiptup was going to be another secondary character. Kazooie was not to be featured as a main character in Dream. She was going to have an appearance as a baby bird found by a girl named Ella, who was the protagonists' little sister.

Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.”
