Cauldron Keep, the last "level" in Banjo-Tooie, was originally intended to be a fully-fledged final world with its own extra set of 10 Jiggies and challenges to complete. According to series head Gregg Mayles, it ended up being massively cut down in scope due to time constraints, now only featuring a third battle against Klungo, the Tower of Tragedy Quiz and the final battle against Gruntilda in the HAG-1 at the top of the tower. This would also explain why Banjo-Tooie only features 90 Jiggies, in comparison to its predecessor that featured 100.

So if Cauldron Keep was a full world, what would it have meant for the number of music notes and jinjos? Cause don't forget that the game's hub has 100 music notes and 5 jinjos to collect, and the total number of them is still the same as the first game. Then again maybe there'd also be an unused move to learn as well as 10 unused jiggies, since Kazooie alone learns one less move then Banjo alone.
