This article is about Banjo & Kazooie appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. For other uses, see Banjo and Kazooie.

Banjo-Kazooie is a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. They were revealed at the Nintendo Direct shown at E3 2019, alongside Hero.

Attributes

Strengths

  • Since Kazooie lacks a hurtbox for every action except Talon Trot, Banjo can make use of a disjointed playstyle.
  • Wonder Wing has priority over almost every attack in the game, which makes approaching projectile characters easy.
  • A third midair jump allows for an easier time recovering, as well as the ability to turn while in the air.
  • Shock Spring Pad does not put him in special-fall, which can be good against ledgeguarding characters.

Weaknesses

  • Breegull Blaster cancels all of his other moves while active, which can leave him open to attack if an opponent has a reflector or projectile-cancelling ability.
  • Wonder Wing has a maximum number of uses at 5, which cannot be refilled without losing a stock.
  • They damage themself with Rear Egg.

Summary

Other attacks

Aerial Attacks

  • Neutral Aerial: Banjo and Kazooie spin while Kazooie has her wings out.
  • Up Aerial: Kazooie bats her wings together upward.
  • Forward Aerial: Banjo performs an overhead swing, can kill at higher percents but has slow startup lag.
  • Back Aerial: Kazooie pecks repeatedly behind Banjo while mid-air.
  • Down Aerial: Kazooie dives downward with her beak. Can meteor smash if sweet-spotted.

Grabs and Throws

  • Grab: Mid-ranged. Banjo grabs the opponent with his left hand. Both Kazooie and Banjo stare menacingly at the enemy.
  • Pummel: Kazooie pecks the opponent.
  • Up Throw: Banjo hoists the fighter up, and crouches down for Kazooie to peck them once.
  • Forward Throw: Banjo lets go of the opponent briefly, so that Kazooie can kick them with both feet, once.
  • Back Throw: Banjo spins the enemy counter-clockwise a few times, and let go with his left hand, then his right hand. Similar to Mario's back throw.
  • Down Throw: Banjo hoists the fighter up, then slams them on the ground with enough force to bury them. Similar to King K. Rool's down throw.

Trivia

  • Banjo & Kazooie’s reveal trailer is a spoof of King K. Rool’s reveal trailer.
    • This is possibly a reference to how Rare Limited developed both Donkey Kong games and Banjo-Kazooie games.
  • Banjo & Kazooie can be considered both Nintendo and Microsoft characters, due to the two console companies’ histories on owning the character publishing rights. This means that Banjo & Kazooie might be a dual-party character.
  • Banjo & Kazooie's introduction tagline refers to them as Banjo-Kazooie, the name of their game series instead of their actual names separated.
  • Their introduction tagline is also a nod to Rare Limited, who developed their titular game series.
  • Banjo & Kazooie are the first playable characters that their rights are currently owned by a direct competitor to Nintendo hardware-wise.
  • Kazooie along with Falco and the duck from Duck Hunt are the only avian characters.
  • All dlc fighters of the fighters pass have cinematic final smashes
