10 Outrageously Dirty Secrets You Won’t Believe Are Hidden In Children’s Games

8. Secret Penis And Other Filth €“ Banjo Kazooie

Picture the scene. It's early Saturday morning. A tired-looking mother is dragged towards the gaming section by her excited child, who is babbling incoherent nonsense about someone called Mario, Yoshi and all kinds of other stuff that the mother is filtering out. As they arrive, the child picks up the box of a brand new game called Banjo Kazooie. The mother, seeing that the game is about a lovely bird and bear and is all cartoony and nice, pops it in the shopping basket and decides to buy it to keep the kid happy for a while. But wait...Banjo Kazooie is not all that it seems. In the depths of the land there is a large something just waiting to be discovered, hidden away in plain sight but so obvious once you've seen it you'll never not see it again. If only she knew. The offending penis-shaped cross-section of the level, complete with little island ejaculations, can be found in Terrydactyl Land. It doesn't stop there though - the Banjo Kazooie series is filled with all kinds of other smut that's cleverly hidden. Kazooie asks a tree called Trunky how his shriveled nuts are If you give a flowerpot in Mad Monster Mansion an egg, it will appear to say F*ck you... In the game's ending scene, a buxom maiden in a bikini swaggers across the screen carrying giant melons King Jingaling gets called 'Dingaling' on one occasion The code wall's top letters, when mirrored, spell out 'Arse' Jolly the frog who owns a bar appears to sound a little camp, giving speculation that his bar is in fact a gay bar It goes on and on really.
