| Finaly, after almost a year, this guide is now |
| completly done. I finished the walkthrough all |
| the way thorugh. Everything else is done in    |
| this guide. I probably won't have anymore large|
| updates anymore. Just a few small ones and that|
| is it. I'm now moving on to work on my new FAQ |
| for Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. That is  |
| all I have to say.                             |

| Well, after a very long break I decided to take|
| from FAQing, I finaly decided to work again. I |
| have not written a thing for a few months now. |
| I've been busy with school, M. Band, Basketball|
| and a whole lot of other things. But now I'm   |
| back and I will finish this guide. I have CCW  |
| done and I will do the rest of the guide by the|
| end of the week. Sorry for such the long wait, |
| this guide will get done. I promise.           |

| Wow, two months later and look how far this    |
| guide as got. I had expected this guide to be  |
| done by the end of June. It is now the start of|
| August and I'm only done through Mad Monster   |
| Mansion. I've been going really slow and went  |
| through periods as long as a few weeks without |
| writing. I do hope I will have the final two   |
| worlds done as well as the ending parts done by|
| the end of this month, but that might not be   |
| very likely. I have started marching band      |
| practice and golf practice as well. I won't    |
| much time around those two things. This is the |
| first version that I will try to send GameFAQs.|
o------------------------------------------------o
| I kind of added on to this version a bit. I now|
| have the walkthrough up through Rusty Bucket   |
| Bay. I'm going really fast now because I want  |
| this guide done for the NPFWT.                 |

| This update is for about the last week or so.  |
| Last week I went on a school trip to Washington|
| D.C. It was really fun but I missed a lot of   |
| FAQing time. I have really worked hard the last|
| few days to get this FAQ to where it is. I have|
| the walkthrough done up to Bubblegloop Swamp.  |
| It is about a third of the way done. I have    |
| also added all of the stuff at the end like the|
| legal info. Now that schools out, I can really |
| work hard on my FAQs because I have way more   |
| free time.                                     |

| Over the last few days I have worked a little  |

| Spiral Mountain down. I also have Mumbo's      |
| Mountain done. I expect the walkthrough will   |
| take a little amount of time to do. I will make|
| these update boxes only for big updates because|
| they take up a lot of space.                   |

| This is actually an update for the last few    |
| days. I did do a little bit of the game basics |
| sections each day the last three days. I really|
| worked hard today and finished the basics      |
| section. I plan to start the walkthrough this  |
| weekend and I'll probably get a few levels     |
| done. This guide is coming along pretty good.  |

| Today I started this guide for Banjo-Kazooie. I|
| only worked on it for about a hour or so after |
| school and was able to get a good amount done. |
| I got the table of contents done. This took me |
| the most time because I'm trying a new format  |
| for it and it is much more complicated then my |
| other formats. I also have the introduction    |
| done. I plan to work on this guide more        |
| tomorrow. With any luck, I can get this guide  |
| done by the end of June.                       |

Hello and welcome to my guide for Banjo-Kazooie. In 1998 Rareware and Nintendo
released a game that soon, after a little advertising, became very popular. I
didn't think this game would be very good and didn't end up buying in until
the year 2000. This game really surprised me. After the first level, I really
started to like it. Who would have thought that running around as a bear and
a bird collecting jigsaw pieces and musical notes would be fun? But then you
get to do much more then that. This game in my opinon really defines a
adventure game. It has the same characteristics as Super Mario 64. The note
doors are like the coin doors, because they need a certain amount of notes to
get by. They Jiggys fill up the puzzles and open up new worlds like stars do
in Super Mario 64. This game has 9 big worlds and one hell of a fight at the
end. This is a fairly long game. It took me a long time to beat the game when
I first got it but I was young and wasn't very good at video games back then.
In this guide I will cover almost every aspect of the game. The GAME BASICS
section has all of the basics you need to know before you play the game. In
the WALKTHROUGH I will walk you through the levels and tell you how to get
all 100 Jiggys, 900 Notes, and 24 Hollow Honeycombs. You will need all but
6 of the Jiggys in the game so you will need to follow the WALKTHROUGH
closely and collect all of them. I also have a little side quest you can do
at the end of the game that will help you get some extra items that have
some relation to Banjo-Tooie, the sequal to this game.
Now about me, the author of this guide. My name is Nathaniel Modlich and I'm
know as "namod65" on the internet and everywhere else. I have been writing
for GameFAQs for almost a year now. This is my 10th guide for GameFAQs. This
has always been one of my favorite games and I have always wanted to write
a FAQ for it. But I decided to wait for a while until I got pretty good at
FAQ writing before I wrote this guide. This is now my best guide and I'm
pretty proud of it. I'm not sure which game I'll write for next but I have
a good idea. It will probably be for one of the Gauntlet games for N64 or
GameCube. It could also be for Banjo-Tooie. I'm not sure yet, it may even be
for a game other then one of those. Oh well, I see when I get there.

A BUTTON ~ Jump/Swim ~
~~~~~~~~
You will use this button for all the kinds of jumping. Just pressing A once is
the normal jump. You also use the button to select things on a screen to
confirm. When you are underwater, use the A button to kick your legs and swim
slowly. This is an easier way to pick up things under water because it is easy
to control. When you are on the surface of the water you can also use the A
button to jump out of the water a short ways. You also use the A button to fly.
Get on a flying pad, then press A to fly up. Press A again to fly higher.
Every time you press A when flying you will lose a Red Feather(see my section
about Red Feathers).
B BUTTON ~ Attack/Dive ~
~~~~~~~~
This is the attack button. Use it to do rolls when you are running and claw
swipes when you are standing still. Now you will hardly ever use a claw swipe
because you will almost never be standing still when facing and enemy. It is
also in the Rat-a-tap-tap move. Rolls can be good when you're facing an enemy
that stays on the ground and isn't jumping. When you are at the surface of the
water, press B to dive down under the water. You can continue to press B to
swim with Kazooie's arms at a fast rate. This however, is fast and hard to
control. When you are flying in the air, you can use a beak bomb when you get
it. Press B to do this and you will dive bomb.
CONTROL STICK ~ Move Banjo ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is key to know how to do, or else you won't be going anywhere soon in this
game if you don't. You can turn Banjo in all directions. If you tilt the stick
all the way forward, Banjo will run. This is the best way to get around on big
open areas and just about any where else. You can tilt it just a little bit and
Banjo will tiptoe. Do this when you are on small ledges and don't want to fall
off. You don't need to tiptoe to sneak up on anyone, there isn't a difference
from running in this area. If you tilt the stick about halfway then Banjo will
walk. I don't see much use in this because there aren't much places were you
would need to walk. If you are running and then tilt the stick the other way
Banjo will do a little slide and start going the other way. Be careful with
this when you are close to ledges.
C BUTTONS ~ Camera Controls ~
~~~~~~~~~
This game has a pretty decent camera system. A lot of the time when you are
playing you will come to a point when you will need to change your view. I'm
constantly changing my view when I play. Tap the left or right C button to
rotate the view on your screen to the left of right depending on which button
you chose. If you press either button a few times the view can go around a
full 360 degree turn.
You can use the down C button to change the view to how close up you want to
be. There are three differnt views: close up, medium, and far away. I hate the
close up view, I find it to be to close and you can't see anything else. I like
the medium view the best and that is what I use most of the time. You can get
a good view of what is around you but you can still see Banjo pretty well. The
far away view I find to be a little to far, but it is good for seeing your
suroundings.
The last thing you can do with the camera is using the top C button to get into
first person mode. Now you can't move around when you are in first person but
you can look up and down for a better view of whats ahead. This is useful for
looking up or down for ledges or other things.
R BUTTON ~ Back View ~
~~~~~~~~
This is a good way to get the camera behind you. I usually use this more then
the C buttons because it is what I need. Just press the R button to move the
camera button to your rear. If you're standing with your back to the wall then
this won't be of much use because you won't be able to see anything.

These are the basic moves and attacks that you will learn in Sprial mountain.
They are important to learn so make sure to know how to do all of them.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Roll
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
This is one of the first attacks that you will learn. When you are running,
press B to do a roll. This is a weak attack and is hard to hit a enemy that is
moving around pretty fast. I wouldn't use this move very much near ledges
because it is easy to fall off with this move.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Flutter
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
This is a very usefull jumping move that you can do. Press A once, then when
you are in the air press A again to have Kazooie flap her wings a few times to
keep you in the air. This is good for jumping long distances and big gaps. If
you are up high and fall, then you can press A to flutter about halfway down
to slow your fall. This would be helpful on some of the worlds where you go up
high like Click Clook Wood. When you just need to jump a little farther, use
the Rat-a-tap-tap to do this. This will get you a little farther then the
flutter, but you can't float in the air. You can't flutter for ever in the air.
After a short time, Kazooie will get tired and stop flapping. This means you
will fall and if you are up high, you die. Simply put, don't flutter right
away when you are falling from a high place. Wait a bit before you flutter.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Rat-a-tap-rap
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
This move is a mouthful to say. You'll be using this move move a lot. It is
a more powerful attack and is easy to use. Once again, jump into the air by
pressing A, then press B to have Kazooie do a attack with her beak. This move
will take out enemies with one hit when they will normaly take two or three
hits. This move is really useful against the enemies that pop out of the walls,
like the monsters in Clanker's Cavern or the Birds in Click Clock Wood. This
move can also be used as a way to jump gaps. You can go a little farther with
this one then the flutter. But the flutter can hover more, so use that instead.
I use this move the most out of all of the attacks and I recomend that you use
it too.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Beak Barge
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
This move is powerful and easy to control like the Rat-a-tap-rap, but there
isn't much use for it. Hold down Z to crouch, then press B and Banjo will slide
forward while Kazooie charges with her beak. The main use for this attack is
small doors and other things that are too low for the Rat-a-tap-tap. For
example, in Bubblegloop swamp, one of the X's on the egg appears low and you
can't get it with a Rat-a-tap-tap. So you would have to use a Beak Barge to
smash it. Other then things like that, you won't find much use for the Beak
Barge.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
This is a good move to know because you'll need to use it a lot. This will
allow you to jump almost twice as high as your regular jump. This is useful
because many ledges and jumps are too high for your normal jump and you'll need
to use this. Just hold down Z to crouch, then press A to launch up in the air.
This is similar to the high jump in Super Mario 64. Except this time you can
use this jump to jump forward as well as backward. This move is not to be used
when trying to jump a gap because you will hardly gain any distance at all when
you do this jump.

These are the moves that you will learn in the first few worlds of the game.
They are more advanced and will come in handy to get many Jiggies.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Egg Firing
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
You will learn this move on Mumbo's Mountain. It will be one of the or the
first moves you'll learn in the witch's lair. After you learn this move you'll
be able to carry around many small eggs, then have Kazooie shoot them out from
her front or rear. You will be using this move a lot on each world so make sure
to keep a good stash of eggs. You will be using this move more on completing
tasks rather then killing enemies. For example, you will use eggs to press
buttons and feed things with them. I wouldn't recomend using this move as a
weapon to attack enemies as it will take a few eggs out of your stash and it
is not worth the trouble to aim with them. When you fire eggs out from behind
they will move much slower and will bounce. If you know you're going to miss,
then you can run after the egg and pick it back up. But the egg will break
after a little while so get it quick if you want it back. To use this move,
press Z to crouch, then press the top C button to fire eggs forward. Press the
down C button to fire eggs backward.

Talon Trot
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
You will also learn this move on Mumbo's Mountain. Not only is this a great way
to get up steep slopes, but it is also a fast and efficient way to run around.
To use this move, press and hold Z to crouch, then press the left C button to
let Kazooie bring out her legs and start walking(must be tiring for her to have
to carry Banjo like that). You will be able to walk up much steeper slopes and
hills, as well as move a lot faster then with Banjo. This move also gives you
more control on ice and other slippery surfaces. You can also jump as far as
you can with the Rat-a-tap-tap move. I mainly use this move when I'm in a hurry
to get some place and want to move fast. I also use this to run from the bees
when trying to get honeycomb from the beehives.

Beak Buster
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
This move can be learned on Mumbo's Mountain as well. It's the last one to
learn on that world. This is very powerful, but hard on Kazooie(oh well, who
cares?). Press A to jump, then press Z in the air and you will do a flip and
send Kazooie's beak into the ground. This is a good and powerful move. It will
destroy any enemy with one hit, except the black crab in the sandcastle. This
move can be used for things like breaking rocks, stomping switchs, and killing
enemies.
This is also a great way to save yourself from losing health when you're
falling from a great height. This move and the flutter can be used as a team to
stop you from losing health on a fall. About halfway down a fall press and hold
A to do a flutter, after you flutter wait until you're close to the ground,
then press Z to do a beak buster. This will save you from losing health. Don't
wait to long during a fall to use flutter or beak buster because Banjo will
soon lose control and there will be no hope after that.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Flying
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Here is one of the moves that you will learn in Treasure Trove Cove. Kazooie
has been looking forward to this. Here you will learn how to fly. Bottles will
show you what a flying pad looks like and then tell you about the red feathers.
To fly, get on a flying pad and press A. It will take one feather to take off.
To go higher in the air, press A again. This will also deduct a feather. Every
time you press A you'll lose a red feather. When you're flying, you'll slowly
descend lower. The best way to save feathers is to wait until you are as low as
you can go, then use one or two feathers to go back up.
Flying is a great way to avoid enemies. Like those annoying snowmen on Freezy
Peak. They will have a hard time trying to hit you with a snowball when you're
in the air. The best way to stop flying is to press Z to do a beak buster. But
you'll lose damage if you're too high. Another way is to point the control
stick straight down and you'll go pretty straight to the ground.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Shock Pads
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
This is the other move that you learn in Treasure Trove Cove. It is the only
other move that has a pad you need to stand on. To use it, stand on it and
press A. Kazooie will use her legs to do a huge leap into the air. Use this for
getting to places higher then what you can reach with your high jump. You don't
need to be on the pad when you take off. You can press and hold A and then move
off the pad and you will be able to jump the same height off of the pad. Be
careful not to run on a shock pad if you don't want to use it. You might press
A by mistake and it will mess you up. I've done this a few times on Bubblegloop
gloop swamp and it is really annoying to land in the swamp when you don't mean
to.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Invincibility
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
This is the only move that you will learn in Clanker's Cavern, and it's hidden
well. To use this move, press Z to crouch, then press Right C to have Kazooie
use her feathers as a shield. This will make you invincible to anything that
comes at you. No enemies can hurt you, and no obstacle can damage you. You will
also be able to walk through hazards that you couldn't before. Like the swamp
water, or the quicksand. This is a great move, but you'll need golden feathers
to do this move. You'll use up the feathers very quick and you can only carry
ten of them, so use them wisely. Golden feathers aren't very common either. So
make sure you get them when you see them.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Wading Boots
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
You will first find these on Bubblegloop Swamp. A good place to find them
because you'll need them a lot on that level. To use these, just walk over them
and Kazooie will put them on and that different music will start. You can walk
around in dangerous areas like the swamp with these on. You'll only be able to
wear them for a limited time though. Each pair of boots has a different time
limit depending on what you need to do with that pair. When you're low on
time, you'll hear the clicking noise to warn you to find safe ground. To take
off the boots early, just press B. Make sure you don't take off the boots when
you're in hazardous areas. Also make sure not to be near any enemies when you
take off the boots because you'll be defenseless for a brief momment when you
take them off.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Beak Bomb
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
This is the only move you will find on Freezy Peak. It is also the only attack
you have when you're flying. When you are flying, press B to have Kazooie to
a dive bomb with her beak. This is very useful against enemies like those
snowmen. Everytime you use the beak bomb you'll use up a red feather. Make sure
you are aimed well at you're target and don't miss. If you miss and hit a wall,
you'll lose many honeycombs. Also make sure not to be way above your enemy when
doing this because you may miss and slam into the ground.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Running Shoes
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
This is the final move that you will learn in this game. It is learned on
Gobi's Valley. When you learn this, you'll be able to use the running shoes.
You won't find running shoes very often in this game. To use them, just walk
over them like the wading boots. Kazooie will now have the running shoes on and
you'll go twice as fast as the talon trot. You can jump while wearing the
running shoes as well. It's the same jump as the talon trot's jump. You'll only
have these shoes for a limited time and like the wading boots, you will hear a
timer tick when you're running out of time. You will almost always use the
shoes to beat a timer which you normaly can't beat.

Jigsaw Pieces are the most imporant thing in the game. They are also known as
Jiggies. That is what I'm going to call them from now on. As I was saying,
Jiggies are the most important thing to get in the game. There is a total of
100 Jiggies in the game. There are 10 in each of the 9 worlds. There are also
10 in Grunty's Lair. You will need to collect a bunch of these. You will need
all but six of the Jiggies. You can then use four of that six to fill in a
extra puzzle for a extra reward. On each world there are many ways to get the
Jiggies. Some are out in the open and are super easy to get. Others will take
some work to get. You might have to beat a enemy or complete a mini game to
get a Jiggy. On each world one of the Jiggies you will get is collecting all of
the Jinjos on that world. As you move through the game, Jiggies will become
harder to get.
When you get a Jiggy a number will come up on the bottom of your screen. It
will tell you the total number of Jiggies you have on that world. You can also
look in the View Totals section to see the number of Jiggies you have on that
world.
But what are Jiggies, for? You ask. Jiggies are the pieces you need to collect
to fill the puzzles. The puzzles will open the worlds. Now see why Jiggies are
so important? You can't go to the next world until you have enough Jiggies.
There are 11 puzzles in the game. The first few puzzles are very easy. They
will only need a few Jiggies to fill. The next ones will be harder, having less
Jiggies already placed in them. Then the last one that will get you to Grunty
has no pieces in it at all and you will need many Jiggies for it.
To place a single Jiggy, just stand on the golden Jiggy on the floor in front
of the puzzle and press A. This will insert one Jiggy into the puzzle. Don't
worry, you don't have to solve the puzzle. You just have to have enough
Jiggies. If you want to place all of the pieces at once, press Z. Once a piece
is in the puzzle, you can't take it out, but there's really no reason you would
need to take a Jiggy out of a puzzle anyway.

Musical Notes are very important in this game as well. You can't get much
farther with Notes then without Jiggies. There are 100 Notes in each of the
nine worlds. Most of them are out in the open and along paths so you can pick
them up as you go. But some are hidden in tight spaces and little caves. When
you get a Note and counter in the upper corner of the screen will appear and
tell you how many Notes you have on that world. Try to collect all 100 Notes
on each world, you'll need them all.
Be careful, because when you die, you lose all of your Notes. Then you have to
go around and collect them all again. When you leave a world you can't take
the Notes with you. Instead, you'll get a high score which is how many Notes
you got on that world. It's your high Note score that counts anyway. Notes are
used to get through Note Doors. There are many Note Doors throughout the game
and each will reqiure more Notes then the last to get by. The number on the
door shows the total high Note score you need to get by. The last door that
you need to get by needs 810 Notes. But there are a few other Note Doors after
that which you can get good rewards for opening. They will reqiure even more
Notes.

Jinjos are vital for getting a Jiggy on each of the 9 worlds. On each world
there are five Jinjos. They are each a different color: Blue, Orange, Pink,
Yellow, and purple. They are usually in a hard to get to place. They will start
calling out for help when you are near them. After you collect all five of them
in a world, you will get a Jiggy. They will also play a vital part later in the
game. Like Musical notes, you will have to collect Jinjos again if you die. But
this isn't as hard as the notes because there is only a few of them on each
world.

Mumbo Tokens are important for getting certain Jiggies and Notes. They are
shaped like little grey skulls. There are many more Mumbo Tokens in the game
then what you need. You'll need about 75 Tokens for the game. You'll find about
six to eight Mumbo Tokens on each world. They are hidden well and are in clever
places. Mumbo Tokens are for one thing: transformations. On five worlds:
Mumbo's Mountain, Bubblegloop Swamp, Freezy Peak, Mad Monster Mansion, and
Click Clock Wood you'll find a hut shaped like a skull. In this hut dwells the
shawman, Mumbo.
Mumbo is the one that will transform you into different animals. He needs Mumbo
Tokens to transform you so make sure you have enough. The only thing that
transforming is good for is to get a few Jiggies and Notes that you can't get
when you're Banjo-Kazooie.
On Mumbo's Mountain, you will be transformed into a termite. As the termite,
you can move up even steeper slopes and won't be attacked by other termites.
You will also not be damaged when you jump from high places. In Bubblegloop
Swamp you'll get to be a alligator. As the alligator, you can walk in the
swamp and not be hurt. The alliator can fit into smaller places. The alligator
is also the only animal that can attack. Press B to attack. The transfermation
in Freezy Peak is a walrus. As the walkrus you can travel through the icy water
and fit through tight spaces. You can also befriend another walrus on that
world. In Mad Monster Mansion you get to be a pumpkin. Fitting through small
spaces is pretty much the only thing the pumpkin is good for. You also won't
get hurt when you fall from high places.
The last animal you get to be is a bee. This is on the spring season of Click
Clock Wood(Mumbo always has some stupid excuse for not transforming on the
other seasons). The bee can fly really high and fast. He can also fit through
small spaces.

Hollow Honeycombs are fairly useful in Banjo-Kazooie. They exactly like regular
honeycombs except that they are hollow. What they do is extend you health bar.
For every six hollow honeycombs you collect, you will get a extra honeycomb
slot added to your health bar. There are 24 hollow honeycombs in the game. Six
are one Sprial Mountain. There are two on each of the nine worlds. These can be
helpful because you will need all of the health you can get. You can extend
your health bar even further when you fill in the last puzzle of the game. It
is a picture of a hollow honeycomb and it will double your health bar.

In this game you will have a health meter. It is made up of honeycombs. You
start out with only four honeycombs but can get more as you go through the
game. When you get hit by an enemy, you'll lose one honeycomb. You can lose
more if you fall from high places or if you beak bomb into a wall. If you look
to the side of your health bar you can see Banjo's and Kazooie's heads. As you
lose health, their expressions will start to look more sad. Once you lose all
of your honeycomb you will lose a life. You can also see your lives next to
the health bar. When you die you will have to start all over and collect the
Notes and Jinjos again so it would be nice if you didn't die too much.
You can regain your honeycombs. All enemies(except the TNT on Rusty Bucket Bay)
will drop honey combs when you kill them. There are also many beehives lying
around. Inside each beehive is three honeycombs. Some beehives will have bees
gaurding it so watch out. If you have full health then don't pick up the
honeycombs. They won't disappear like items do in some games. You can come back
for it when you need it.

Oxygen is the health you will have when you are underwater. It is displayed
under the health bar to the side of the screen. It is blue and is made up of
six honeycombs. You can't extend this bar like the health bar. But you won't
need to have anymore anyway. It is just enough for all of the challenges
underwater. When underwater, you'll slowly lose oxygen. Once all of it is gone,
you'll drown and lose a life. On some levels like Rusty Bucket Bay the water
will make you lose oxygen twice as fast because it's dirty.

You're going to need many red feathers to fly. Once you learn the move, you'll
need to go to a flying pad and press A to take off. That will use one red
feather. When you're just simply flying around and not going any higher, you
won't use any red feathers. Once you tap A to go a little higher it will take
one red feather. Make sure to collect many red feathers because you'll need at
least 7 for each flight you're going to take. Red feathers are very common so
you don't need to worry about looking hard for them. You can also use the
cheat from Cheato to double your maximum feathers to 100. If you run out of
feathers when you're in the air then you won't be able to go any higher and
this could be a big problem in some areas.

Gold feathers are what you need to become invunerable. After you learn the move
from bottles in Clanker's Cavern you can use golden feathers. When you use this
move it will take one gold feather to start and then you will lose one feather
every second you have the move activated. You can only carry ten feathers and
they are extremly rare and hard to find. Use your feathers wisely. You can't
attack when you're invunerablem but any enemy who tries to attack you will die.
Ten feathers is really all you need to solve puzzles but their are other areas
you'll find them useful too. You can enter Cheato's cheat to double you gold
feathers to 20 and that will be a huge help.

Once you learn the egg spitting move from bottles, you'll be able to use eggs
for many things. You can use them as weapons and to complete certain tasks.
Eggs are everywhere. You can find them in very common places so you shouldn't
have any trouble finding more eggs. You can carry up to 100 eggs at a time and
if you use the cheat from Cheato you can get up to 200 eggs.

There are nine witch switches in the game, one on each world. They are the only
way to get the Jiggies in Grunty's Lair. Make sure you stomp on them all. When
you stomp on one, it will either make a Jiggy appear in Grunty's Lair, or
make a path to a Jiggy in Grunty's lair. The switches are sometimes hidden well
and are sometimes easy to find. Also, you may need to get certain moves or hit
other switches before you can get to some of the Jiggies in Grunty's Lair.

The enemies in this game are really stupid. There isn't any challenge to
defeating them at all. If one sees you, it will charge and you can take it out
in about a second. Enemies aren't the real challenge in this game. You'll find
yourself dying most of the time from the envirorment. This would be like
falling, drowning, or getting hit by an obstacle. For example, in Click Clock
Wood, you will die more times falling from that huge tree rather then getting
hit by the birds or the other enemies. In Rusty Bucket Bay you can't stay in
the water too long or else you'll die from the oil. There is also that toxic
waste pit there as well. It will take some health from you if you fall in. I
think this is one of the things that really makes this game different from
other adventure games. That you will die most of the time from the enviorment.
