Iron Galaxy has admitted a cheeky “Banjo Hero” box—ditched straight out of Guitar Hero World Tour’s art and a wink at the now-shuttered Neversoft studio—somehow snuck into the Waterpark level of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4. They’re digging into how it happened and plan to remove the gag in the next update, but swear they meant no disrespect to their fellow devs.

Unsurprisingly, fans aren’t happy about axing what they see as a harmless easter egg that fits the skate vibe perfectly. Between hidden SpongeBob references locked behind a Deluxe Edition and a slew of other callbacks, the community clearly digs these throwbacks—and hopes Iron Galaxy will think twice before wiping out any more of them.
