'''{{wp|Banjo & Kazooie|Banjo}}''' is one of the two protagonists of former [[Nintendo]] partner [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]]'s {{wp|Banjo-Kazooie|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series}}, along with his best friend, [[Kazooie]]. He is characterized as a honey bear with light-brown fur, tan skin, blue eyes, and a black nose, and he wears a shark-tooth necklace, yellow shorts, and a blue backpack that houses Kazooie. Banjo made his debut, both overall and in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, as a playable character in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', and he and his series were owned by Nintendo up until the acquisition of Rare by Microsoft in 2002, with ''Banjo'' characters making some appearances in the ''Mario'' franchise during that period. In exchange for Rare obtaining full rights to Banjo, [[Nintendo]] gained full rights to Rare's ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' additions, such as the various [[Kong|Kong Family]] members and the [[Kremling]]s.

[[File:Carbanjo.png|thumb|left|Banjo, as he first appears in ''Diddy Kong Racing'']]
In ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', when [[Wizpig]] invaded [[Timber's Island]], [[Timber]] calls for [[Diddy Kong]]'s assistance. In turn, he sends [[Squawks]] to contact his friends, one of whom is Banjo. All the characters compete in a variety of racing challenges to liberate the island and decide who would race Wizpig. Eventually, the eight racers, with the help of [[Taj]] and [[T.T.]], drove Wizpig back to his home planet, [[Future Fun Land]]. However, Wizpig returns, and the racers go to his homeworld. At the end of the world, the winning character races Wizpig again, who rides on a rocket missile for the rematch. On the character selection screen, Banjo's theme instrument is the banjo. The menu's theme is re-composed in a banjo when the player highlights him. Like the other characters, Banjo says his name when he is selected. As a heavyweight racer, Banjo has slow acceleration, which is compensated for a high top speed (57 MPH without [[Banana]]s). His handling is below average but still exceeds [[Krunch]]'s.

Since Microsoft had direct ownership over Banjo and Conker, both of them do not appear in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]''. Instead, they were replaced with [[Tiny Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]], respectively. Despite this, Banjo's theme instrument was left intact, and it plays both on the character selection and the game's introduction sequence. Banjo's statistics were also retained for Tiny Kong, who was likely redesigned for Banjo's heavyweight feature.

Banjo, alongside Kazooie and the [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Hero|heroes]] of ''Dragon Quest'', were announced as playable fighters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' during the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct on June 11 (PDT). This marks their first non-cameo appearance in a new game since ''[[sonicretro:Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing|Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie]]'', which was released for the {{wp|Xbox 360}} in 2010, as well as the duo's first appearance on a Nintendo console since ''[[jiggywikki:Banjo-Pilot|Banjo-Pilot]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]] in 2005. Banjo & Kazooie were released on September 4, 2019 (PDT) as part of Challenger Pack 3.


The reveal trailer for the duo heavily references [[King K. Rool]]'s original reveal trailer, with [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], and King K. Rool looking outside the window of DK's tree house and seeing a silhouette of Banjo & Kazooie. It is then revealed to be [[Duck Hunt (character)|Duck Hunt]] playing a prank, much like how the K. Rool reveal trailer had [[King Dedede]] pretending to be King K. Rool. Banjo & Kazooie then appear from the sky and knock Duck Hunt out of frame, with Banjo holding his namesake instrument.

Prior to Banjo's inclusion in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', he and Kazooie were among the most requested ''Super Smash Bros.'' characters of all time. A Rare employee wrote on their website back in 2009, that although they had not been considered for ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', many Rare franchise trophies were originally in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.<ref>{{cite|author=Lerako|url=www.raregamer.co.uk/scribes-september-18th-2009|title=Rare Scribes|date=September 18, 2009|accessdate=October 30, 2020}}</ref> Vice President of Microsoft's gaming division, {{wp|Phil Spencer}}, made a Tweet in 2015, stating "it would be cool" to see Banjo and Kazooie appear as DLC fighters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''.<ref>{{cite|author=Campbell, Evan|url=www.ign.com/articles/2015/04/03/xbox-head-phil-spencer-says-it-would-be-cool-to-see-banjo-in-super-smash-bros-for-nintendo-3ds-and-wii-u Xbox Head|title=Xbox Head Phil Spencer Says 'It Would Be Cool' to See Banjo in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|publisher=IGN|date=April 3, 2015|accessdate=May 11, 2024}}</ref> He doubled down on the comments in 2018, a year before Banjo and Kazooie's reveal in ''Super Smash Bros.

[[File:SSBU Breegull Blaster.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Breegull Blaster in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Egg Firing / Breegull Blaster}}
'''[[jiggywikki:Egg Firing|Egg Firing]]''' is Banjo & Kazooie's standard special move, which involves Banjo crouching, and Kazooie shooting a Blue Egg forward. This egg is affected by gravity, and is a weak projectile that will cause mild flinching. If Banjo and Kazooie use this move in midair, their falling speed is slower.
When the standard special move button is held down, the move transitions to '''[[jiggywikki:Breegull Blaster|Breegull Blaster]]'''. Banjo will take Kazooie out the backpack and hold her like a gun; holding or mashing attack or special buttons during Breegull Blaster, will make the eggs fire at twice the speed of the Egg Firing move, with Banjo now able to walk around while shooting. These eggs deal less damage than from Egg Firing, especially with repeated hits on the same player. Breegull Blaster can be canceled by shielding, crouching, grabbing, or performing a side, up or down special input. These two moves originate from ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Banjo-Tooie'', respectively.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Wonderwing}}
'''[[jiggywikki:Wonderwing|Wonderwing]]''' is Banjo & Kazooie's side special move. The move involves Banjo doing a side charge forward with Kazooie placing a wing over the duo, acting as a shield. The attack is very powerful, but they can only use the move five times per stock, as represented with five Gold Feathers displaying each time they perform the move. Once they run out of feathers for the stock, the duo will trip when attempting to perform it. In Sudden Death and Super Sudden Death, the duo only gets one feather, and in stamina battles, the numbers of feathers is determined by their starting HP. The move originates from ''Banjo-Kazooie''.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Shock Spring Jump}}
'''[[jiggywikki:Shock Spring Jump|Shock Spring Jump]]''' is Banjo & Kazooie's up special move. The move involves the duo using a Shock Spring Pad that spontaneously appears under them, to launch themselves upwards into the air. The pad then acts like [[Sonic|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'s [[Sonic#Spring Jump|Spring Jump]] move, in the sense the pad falls downwards (if the duo uses the move in midair), which can hurt any opponent that comes in contact with it. The move can be slightly charged for a slight increase in jump height. The move originates from ''Banjo-Kazooie''.

{{main-external|SmashWiki|Rear Egg}}
'''Rear Egg''' is Banjo & Kazooie's down special move. The move involves Banjo crouching, while Kazooie shoots a [[jiggywikki:Grenade Egg|Grenade Egg]] backwards (opposite direction of which they are facing). The egg bounces in an unpredictable pattern, before detonating either on contact or after several seconds. This egg can be picked up by any players to be tossed again, but it can also explode in the player's hands if it is not thrown fast enough. If the egg detonates from contact of an opponent, said explosion will not harm Banjo and Kazooie, but if exploding on timer, or in Banjo's hands, it will harm the duo. Banjo and Kazooie can only fire one Grenade Egg at a time. The Rear Egg move originates from ''Banjo-Kazooie'', while Grenade Eggs originate from ''Banjo-Tooie''.

[[File:Banjo Final Smash.png|thumb|upright=1.4|The Mighty Jinjonator in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|The Mighty Jinjonator}}
'''[[jiggywikki:The Mighty Jinjonator|The Mighty Jinjonator]]''' is Banjo & Kazooie's [[Final Smash]]. The move must be performed in close proximity of an opponent (or opponents), to which Banjo and Kazooie will summon the statue of the Jinjonator from under the opponent(s). A quick cutscene begins which shows the Jinjonator statue breaking apart, revealing the Jinjonator. The Jinjonator will then begin to fly and ram into a trapped opponent multiple times, before charging forward for a final hit with four other [[jiggywikki:Jinjo|Jinjos]]. Only one opponent can be caught in the cutscene, but multiple opponents can take damage from the attack. The Mighty Jinjonator originates from the final battle and ending of ''Banjo-Kazooie'', where it was used to defeat the final boss of the game, [[jiggywikki:Gruntilda Winkybunion|Gruntilda Winkybunion]].

On the other hand, Banjo has excellent top-end speed for straightaways.''"<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 103|page=14|date=December 1997|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=American English}}</ref>
*'''Diddy's Drivers Ed''': "''Banjo is another heavyweight racer, but his acceleration and handling are acceptable. He's a great choice for piloting a hovercraft. In many instances, Banjo will have to use the sharp turn technique to take corners cleanly.''"<ref>{{cite|archive=web.archive.org/web/19981206065714/http://www.dkr.com/driversed.html|title=Diddy's Driver Ed|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref>

Of course, his heavier weight also means that, once he builds up some momentum, his top speed is second only to Krunch. On a tightly turning course, however, there’s little chance for his extra speed to come into play: He’s always in the process of accelerating, and then skidding through the next turn.''"<ref>{{cite|date=April 7, 1999|title=''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition Prima's Official Strategy Guide''|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=0-7615-2103-7|page=37}}</ref>

*Prior to Banjo's inclusion in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', he and Kazooie were among the most requested ''Super Smash Bros.'' characters of all time.

Melee]]''.<ref>{{cite|author=Lerako|url=www.raregamer.co.uk/scribes-september-18th-2009|title=Rare Scribes|date=September 18, 2009|accessdate=October 30, 2020}}</ref> Vice President of Microsoft's gaming division, {{wp|Phil Spencer}}, made a Tweet in 2015, stating "it would be cool" to see Banjo and Kazooie appear as DLC fighters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''.<ref>{{cite|author=Campbell, Evan|url=www.ign.com/articles/2015/04/03/xbox-head-phil-spencer-says-it-would-be-cool-to-see-banjo-in-super-smash-bros-for-nintendo-3ds-and-wii-u Xbox Head|title=Xbox Head Phil Spencer Says 'It Would Be Cool' to See Banjo in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|publisher=IGN|date=April 3, 2015|accessdate=May 11, 2024}}</ref> He doubled down on the comments in 2018, a year before Banjo and Kazooie's reveal in ''Super Smash Bros.
