Although Kazooie is absent from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', she is mentioned in the instruction manual<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' manual|page=24|date=1997|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> and official Nintendo Player's Guide, prior to her debut in a video game. An additional nod to her is featured in the form of a kazoo being played during Banjo's segment of the opening title sequence, though it is absent from Banjo's theme on the character select screen. This segment is still included in the remake, ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', despite Banjo's absence.

Kazooie, alongside Banjo, was announced as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' during the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct on June 11 (PST). ''Ultimate'' 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 ''Banjo-Pilot''. Banjo & Kazooie were released on September 4, 2019 (PST) as part of Challenger Pack 3.
Kazooie along with Banjo were announced as the third downloadable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' in the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct on June 11. The game marks the pair's first physical appearance in a new game since the Xbox 360 version of 2010's ''[[sonicretro:Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing|Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]]''. They were released on September 4, 2019.


In the duo's reveal trailer, a Jiggy bounces across the floor as [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[King K. Rool]] are lounging in [[DK's Tree House|Donkey Kong's tree house]], causing them to look outside the window and seeing a silhouette of Banjo & Kazooie. It is then revealed to be [[Duck Hunt (character)|Duck Hunt]] playing a prank, in the same manner as [[King Dedede]] pretending to be K. Rool in the latter's reveal trailer. Banjo & Kazooie then appear from the sky, knocking Duck Hunt out of frame, with Kazooie holding her namesake instrument, the kazoo. Kazooie and Banjo appear in [[Sephiroth]]'s reveal trailer, and are shocked to see him descend from the sky.

Banjo & Kazooie's moveset and appearances are directly pulled from their two Nintendo 64 titles, ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''{{wp|Banjo-Tooie}}'', though they also sport a few original attacks. [[Spiral Mountain]], the location of their home, serves as the representation for their stage. Regarding weight, Banjo & Kazooie are a heavyweight fighter, being heavier than [[Link]], [[Yoshi]], [[Captain Falcon]], and [[Mii Gunner]], but lighter than [[Wario]], [[Ike]], [[Ridley]], [[Simon Belmont|Simon]], and [[Richter Belmont|Richter]], while having the same weight as [[Solid Snake|Snake]] and [[R.O.B.]]
