As Banjo Kazooie fans would be aware, its spiritual successor Yooka-Laylee will be dropping in Australia on April 11! To celebrate, we’ve teamed up with Team17 to give away 5 x Xbox One and 5 x PS4 copies of the game!
How to enter: We’d like to pay homage to the franchise, so we’re challenging you to design your own animal pairing — and we want to see them.
Think Banjo-Kazooie (a bear and a bird combo) or Yooka-Laylee (a chameleon and a bat). How about a dog and a goldfish called Floot-Drum or a Kangaroo and a Koala called Didgie-Ridoo.
I have no idea what I’m doing.
TL;DR we’re looking for weird, unique and funny designs — just make sure you keep it clean!
To be eligible you’ll need to leave a screenshot or link (such as Imgur) to your design in the comments below AND tell us whether you would like a copy on Xbox One or PS4.
The competition is restricted to Australian residents only and make sure you use a valid email address in your Kotaku profile so we can contact you if you win. The competition is limited to one entry per person and one prize per winner. You can read the rest of the terms and conditions here.
The competition will end on April 18th 2017 at 12pm and winners will be announced shortly afterwards. Good luck and may the best designs win!

Shame it’s only Xbone and PS4. If a steam copy was up for grabs, I might actually give this a go!
Word is that the frame rate is FAR from smooth.
This is made in Unity isn’t it? Doesn’t surprise me then, as a lot of devs seem to have issues getting 3D games in Unity running smoothly.
Then it’ll feel even more like the old BK games from our childhood.
Clearly an homage to the frame rate of most Rare games on N64.
It’s not as bad on PC is it? Will wait to see what the Switch version turns out like since it’s not being ported by the same guys. Not holding my breath though.
I’d totes be in for this, but I likely would have purchase Y-L (assuming it’s any good) by the time the competition closes on April 18, so go at it, other people! 🙂
A mouse and a rat, named mouserat.
Brilliant.
Introducing the spectacular duo …
Down and Trout !
The classiest Earthworm and Trout secret agents in the world !

@kamepoh I loled too hard at that. Please design that and enter the comp — it’s so good.
I hope the earthworm i called trout though 😀

Is there a limit on the number of entries each person can make?
One entry per winner and one prize per winner 🙂
I noticed my youngest son look at this game the other day so i might get him to do a design instead of me, his creativity is much better than mine and his drawing skills at age 5 are already a lot better than mine.
Likka and Stikka the Echidna Blob fish combo. PS4 ftw.

This is best. Gibs game to him
Day one purchase for the Switch.
Hey, take a look at Trom-Boneless.
A giraffe and his aloof python buddy. Old mate Trom struggles for oxygen from time to time, and as a result doesn’t get around too fast. But at least his neck’s never cold.

I present the disastrous duo – Aanty-Ursine!
Aanty is the heavy-lifting, problem-solving, quick-witted… ant. While he may lack in size, he carries his trusty buddy to properly protect him, whose name is…
…Ursine! Actually, no one knows what he is. Some say Panda, others say Grizzly, few say Polar. Regardless, he’s the intimidating of the two – striking fear, striking foes and striking out thanks to his tremendous boulder-like weight.
Together, they are the duo that rolls with it, no matter the size of the task.

Meet Vuvu-Zella! The African duo, Vuvu the speedy cheetah and Zella the stretchy snake.

I present to you the two best spies in the world : Slip and Stretch!!
http://imgur.com/a/JB5UK
(PS4 please)
Slip was once the best and only penguin in the organization but after a mission gone wrong he was robbed of the ability to talk and was demoted to a desk job.
Stretch was one of the most notorious rattlesnake criminals in all of Australia but after a job that went wrong he was sentenced to life in prison. Then a group of spies approached and gave him a chance to redeem himself by working together with a voiceless penguin named Slip
Together they form one unstoppable duo!
I’m holding out for the Switch version.
I have never uploaded with imgur before: http://imgur.com/a/63sO3

but together, they kick some animal ass!
don’t ask me how
(ps4 copy for me- thats if I even get elected ofcourse)
They look like they’re ready to drop some sick beats.
Aww yeah, thanks!
This is my animal duo Rich-Bra. A common Ostrich and Zebra.
http://imgur.com/a/hWRlm
In the wild these two animals have a symbiotic relationship. They come together and form a special bond with each other due to their weaknesses that they have. But because of the strengths these animals also have, when they do come together they create one full set of senses allowing the two animals to sense and then escape when in immediate danger.
EDIT: Sorry. My console of choice is the Xbox One.

Bossa-Nova! – http://m.imgur.com/gallery/mw7UJIc
Jaguar cub Bossa and her toucan friend Nova journey through Latin America on a quest to unite the creatures of the land against the destruction of their environment. From pan-flute playing alpacas in the Andes to conga-loving capybaras in the Pantanal; slow-tangoing sloths in the Amazon and Carnival-crazed capuchins on the coast, Bossa and Nova must use the power of music to bring together all animals big and small.

Bit of silly fun haha, but thought I’d give it a go for the chance of an Xbox copy.
Good luck to everyone who has entered, I love all the creativity! =]
OK, here’s the backstory… AJAX AND LU: Ajax is a lazy Lynx who spends his days idling around town on his motor scooter, until he finds the mischievous young goat Lu and vows to help him return to his family. But is the otherworldly Lu really who he says he is?! (Spoiler: he’s from the underworld)

Are the winners going to be announced on this post or on a new article?
Goatoo-Sleepy. Everyone’s favourite goat sloth combination.
http://imgur.com/a/2CWRM
Basically there’s this virus and it’s turning everyone into these mushroom people but then you find out that the sloth is immune and may hold the secret to curing the virus so it’s up to the goat to take him across the land to figure it all out. It’s a stealth-action kinda third person sort of thing. Alright.
OOOh ps4 pleeease <3
Thank god you entered that 12 hours too late, because it’s awesome and would beat mine lol
Hahah thanks! I got my am’s and pm’s mixed up and thought it closed at midnight for some reason :'(
Dude yours was one of the entries I was most worried about. Shocked it didn’t win. Barrel N’ Munkey would be a day one purchase for me
Has anybody been contacted yet for winning and so on?…
Any news on this?
