I have a theory of what three of Rare's games were inspired by!

[Hero of Legend]

Banjo Kazooie = The Bearstein Bears (Crazy? Maybe not! after all, the show is about bears who are southern, seem like the kind of people that use BANJOS and such, but this is a mere guess, but get ready for the next one!)

Conker's Bad Fur Day = Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Tell you haven't seen the resemblance, first, we have animal mascots that use fowl language, then there's crime and mystery involved, then there's alcohol and tobacco usage. the best part? THE WEASELS, tell me there isn't a resemblance in that?!?!?)

Kameo: Elements of Power = Shrek (The castles, the ogres, the magic, and Kameo's Dragon form that looks oddly like the Dragon from the Dreamworks classic! Get my point?)

 

[Puffs]

actually, the Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie were inspired by Super Mario 64, all of which are probably the best platformers on the N64

 

[Cloud Strife]

actually, the Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie were inspired by Super Mario 64, all of which are probably the best platformers on the N64

i don't think you quite understood what he was saying.
