I have no idea who this character is, and there's nothing to indicate that this character isn't simply missing in-universe. Caption doesn't help either.

Agreed, that's not very good.

It's a somewhat amusing lampshade, so Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

I think the "last seen in Banjo-Kazooie" makes the current clear enough, and I'm not sure how else to differentiate this from Put on a Bus

I'm fine with it, so Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Current is very weak. I understood the lampshade, but then I am aware in passing that Banjo-Kazooie is a franchise and not, say, a location where someone would go missing. I'm giving it the weakest of Keep Until Better Image Suggested votes.

"Last seen in Banjo-Kazooie" makes it clear this is not a in-universe thing, but rather a meta joke. It fits with the trope.

The real problem is that there's nothing to specify that the image is from the sequel since Banjo-Tooie doesn't have a page of its own, meaning you can't link to it. You'd probably need the caption for that.

[up][up] Banjo-Tooie works as a redirect, though. That works just as good.

Besides, Banjo-Tooie could always be expanded into its own page.

How about we add a screenshot of Tooty in Banjo-Kazooie to go with the current as a collage, with the logos for both games labeling the pics?

It needs a caption and context so work... so pull for me.

[up] Just because the caption is doing some of the work doesn't mean the image itself is useless. (See the "Not Actually JAFAAC" section on Just a Face and a Caption.) There are visual elements here, such as the milk carton, that help clarify the lampshade.

Keep until better image suggested.

Here's a somewhat related example, doesn't exactly 'show' the Trope but said character mentioned didn’t appear again after dragon ball.

[up] That requires the reader to be familiar with Dragon Ball. With the "five years ago" line, this scene could just as easily be picking up after a Time Skip, for instance.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested. I can't imagine this trope being illustrated in a single static image with no text, and as far as lampshades go, the current is fine.

The clock's up and I think the consensus is to keep the current, so it's tagged. Locking up.
