Let's dispense with the tomfoolery and get right to the quotes and analyses, yes? Yes.

"2) In Donkey Kong Racing will you also be able to ride other animals other than those shown in the opening demo such as walruses/penguins etc. in a snow world or a Triceratops/T-Rex in a Dino World?"

- ZMG

Rare: Hear this: "We are most definitely, certainly, 100% guaranteed to not include even the faintest whiff of bloody dinosaurs in this game."

"1. When can we expect to learn more about Kameo? E3 2002 is an awful long time away...

2. Same as previous question, replace "Kameo" with "Donkey Kong Racing".

3. I love the Arwing level included in the SpaceWorld and Cube Club demo versions of StarFox Adventures, but it's a tad short. Does the one I played represent a real level from the game, or was it just thrown together to show the flying mechanics?

5. When are you going to make the trek to E3? I want to see the cosmic singularity explosion-type event that will occur when you and Seanbaby and Brandon DeHart are simultaneously in the same room. Then I can die happy... actually, I'll probably die right then and there."

- Jonathan Metts (That'd be me. Word.)

Rare: 1 & 2) E3 2001 was basically a sneak peek at some of Rare's big projects for the next couple of years, just to reassure everyone that we're hard at work on next-gen stuff. Following that, most of our upcoming behemoths went back into hiding. So don't expect to see much (if anything) before the next E3...

3) Team quote: "Thrown together you say? As we speak, three tooled-up gorillas are speeding towards your house in an unmarked car to give you a lesson in banana-related punishment. Seriously though, the level you will have played was an unfinished test version of one of the many ArWing levels in the game."

5) If I ever do get to E3, I'll try to remember to make your last living moments happy ones by giving DeHart a big lick on the face.

"A sequel to Perfect Dark (N64 and GBC versions) has yet to be officially announced by yourselves, although I am sure you know of all the rumours that are circulating. But Fireworks Entertainment and Goodman Rosen Productions have announced that they have got the TV and Filim rights to Perfect Dark.

What's the latest on the Goodman Rosen/ Fireworks TV and/or filim projects? Have the Stampers sold the rights? Is a filim/TV programme in production? I am quite excited by the possibility of a filim and/or TV programme.

Tell all! Or is the project strictly still private and confidential? I am dying to know more. Can you say more or have you been forced to take a Rareware vow of silence?"

- Mark Quested

Rare: Designer Boy says: "TV project - 'your guess' is literally 'as good as ours'. Taking a vow of silence would mean we couldn't swear at people."

"And I'm taking a wild guess here, but is the Blast Corps/Jet Force Gemini team the one working on Kameo?"

- Josh Townzen

Rare: No, the Kameo team consists more of DK64 veterans than grizzled Jet Force squaddies.
