Overview

  • Players discovered a ‘Banjo Hero’ box hidden in a trash can on the Waterpark level, modeled after the Guitar Hero World Tour packaging.
  • Iron Galaxy issued a Reddit apology expressing respect for original creators and thanking fans for highlighting the Easter egg.
  • The studio confirmed it will investigate how the asset appeared in the release and eliminate it from the environment art in the forthcoming patch.
  • Some community members condemned the trash-can placement as disrespectful to Neversoft, the now-defunct studio behind both Pro Skater and several Guitar Hero titles, while others defended the gag as a harmless joke.
  • The ‘Banjo Hero’ nod mirrors a similar hidden reference in the Pro Skater 1+2 remaster, underscoring Iron Galaxy’s penchant for franchise Easter eggs.
