When the production moved for the Nintendo 64, the game's tone shifted to "piratey theme" due the production team felt that the "fairy tale world" would be to childish and not really appealing to a variety of audiences. Therefore "Land of Giants" was dropped from the title.

The concept of Dream was reimagined in 1997, the pirate-theme changed to an action-oriented adventure 2.5D plataformer game and was retitled as Kazoo.

In March 1997, the game was revamped as a full 3D game and the name was again changed to "Banjo-Kazoo". This title didn't last long either, since the name "Kazoo" was already copyrighted.
