History WMG / YookaLaylee

* Since he's the boss of all video and computer games in existence, the screen will blink out like a CRT. Cue four [[UsefulNotes/MagnavoxOdyssey plain white squares]] realizing they just screwed up big time.

[[WMG:There will be a nod and/or TakeThat to ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe''.]]

* While we're on the subject of {{Take That}}s, how about a [[VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon Moneybags]]-style CorruptCorporateExecutive, or other digs at Microsoft for "ruining" Rare?

[[VideoGame/MightyNo9 Considering a certain other]] SpiritualSuccessor [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic to a popular platformer series that lost its way]] is getting a cartoon, this wouldn't seem too out of the ordinary.

[[WMG:Every game Playtonic makes will be a SpiritualSuccessor to a different Rare game]]
This isn't entirely related to Yooka Laylee, but I couldn't think of a better place to put this. This game could be followed up with a Conker SpiritualSuccessor, then maybe one for Blast Corps or Battletoads, and so on, establishing Playtonic with a lineup of games that parallel the original Rare's.

[[spoiler:The person at the top is a FourthWallObserver - unlike everyone else, who only knows about reality when it's funny, the leader knows that existence is just a game. They've long stopped caring about they video games in which they dwell. As far as they're concerned, video and computer games are just for making money, so it's far more lucrative to churn out mediocre dreck that everyone will buy anyway than to actually put love and care into anything. The joy of it may have long evaporated, but they still treat what they do like a personal challenge... like they always have.]]

Like how Music/{{Shakira}} voices the pop star Gazelle in ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}''.

Like how VideoGame/ShovelKnight had cameos by [[Franchise/GodOfWar Kratos]] and the Battletoads in the Sony and Microsoft versions of the game, each version of the game has a cameo appearance from a character owned by the system's creators. Yooka and Laylee could run into [[Franchise/DonkeyKongCountry Donkey Kong]] in the Switch version, [[Franchise/JakAndDaxter Jak]] or [[Franchise/RatchetAndClank Ratchet]] in the [=PS4=] version, and of course, [[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Banjo and Kazooie]] in the Xbox One version, bringing it full circle!

* Confirmed, sort of. There is a character named Vendi, who specializes in "Play Tonics". These tonics are essentially game modifiers, such as increasing butterfly energy, preventing fall damage, high-pitched voices, etc. Unlike Cheato from ''Banjo-Kazzoie'', you need to do a certain requirement of tasks before you can access that certain tonic.
