Attributes

  • Their design is based on their original, more rounded appearance from their Nintendo 64 titles, but now with detailed fur, feathers, and larger eyes.

  • Their Final Smash is the Jinjonator.
  • Banjo's voices from Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie are intact and may be ripped directly from the Nintendo 64 titles.

Trivia

  • Their reveal trailer is similar to King K. Rool's trailer, where King Dedede uses a costume to fake out the Kongs, only to be attacked by the real King K. Rool. In this case, while K. Rool was with the Kongs, Duck Hunt use a costume to fake them out, only for them to get attacked by the real Banjo and Kazooie.
    • Their reveal trailer also references the ending of their original game, with them summoning the Jinjonator to send K. Rool crashing into the ground to be buried by a large boulder, in the same way they did to Gruntilda.
  • Their introduction tagline is a reference to Rare, the company from which their video game series originated.
  • Not counting a costume in Minecraft, their inclusion in Ultimate marks the first time they appeared on a Nintendo console since Banjo-Pilot, which came out in 2005.
  • Due to the fact that Rare was once owned by Nintendo, Banjo-Kazooie have the unique distinction of being the only third-party character in the game to have formerly been a first-party Nintendo character.
