A seminal Platformer series, created by Rare for the Nintendo 64, the Banjo-Kazooie series (sometimes simply referred to as the Banjo series) tells the tale of the lazy honey bear Banjo, his best friend Kazooie (who is an avian known as a "breegull"), the nasty witch Gruntilda Winkybunion who likes messing with their lives, and lots and lots of shiny golden puzzle pieces called Jiggies. Traversing many strange and improbable worlds, the dauntless duo go about Saving the World from the evil witch's latest scheme, with the help of moleish mentors, cute bird-anteater... things called Jinjos, and a very liberal helping of British Humour.Games in the series: Banjo-Kazooie (1998, Nintendo 64) Banjo the bear, his little sister Tooty, and Banjo's loudmouthed best friend Kazooie live peacefully in the tranquil Spiral Mountain. However, the ugly, witch-shaped form of the witch Gruntilda's lair lurks overhead. Grunty sees that Tooty is the fairest in the land, and Grunty envies that beauty! She kidnaps Tooty and absconds to her lair. Now Banjo and Kazooie must brave the depths of her labyrinthine lair to save Banjo's sister. Banjo-Tooie (2000, Nintendo 64) Two years after Grunty's defeat (and subsequent imprisonment beneath a rock), her sisters Mingella and Blobbelda come with a fancy new tank to save her. Grunty's been beneath the rock for so long, she's only an animate skeleton. But her witchy sisters have a new machine that can suck the life energy out of anything, and they plan to use it to restore Gruntilda! Banjo and Kazooie once again set out to stop her, and prevent her from turning the whole world into a zombie wasteland! Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge (2003, Game Boy Advance) A midquel that takes place between Kazooie and Tooie. Grunty's faithful sidekick Klungo builds her a Mecha-Grunty suit, and her spirit inhabits it from beneath the rock. With her evil magic, she kidnaps Kazooie, and flings Banjo into the past, attempting to stop him and Kazooie from ever meeting! Now Banjo (and Kazooie, once he's rescued her) must stop Gruntilda from destroying the past! Banjo-Pilot (2004, Game Boy Advance) A racing game spinoff, this game features the Banjo-Kazooie cast racing around in airplanes. Gruntilda does appear, but poses no real threat. Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (2008, Xbox 360) This sequel changed the game's mechanics from regular platformer to vehicle-based platformer. Set many years after their last adventure, Banjo and Kazooie have gotten fat and lazy from no adventures. Then, a strange, TV-headed spirit calling itself the Lord of Games shows up. He intends to have Banjo and Kazooie resolve their old issues with Gruntilda's skeletal head by... throwing them into a new video game. Well, whatever works, right?Cameos and Crossovers: Diddy Kong Racing (1997, Nintendo 64) Appearing as an Early-Bird Cameo, Banjo made his debut, though without Kazooie, as a heavy racer in the original release. Due to Rare being bought by Microsoft, he didn't make the cut for the DS release and was replaced by an older version of Tiny Kong. Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing With Banjo-Kazooie (2010, Xbox 360) Banjo returns to his racing roots, this time bringing Kazooie along for the ride. Together, they form a guest racer exclusive to the Xbox 360 version, based on their appearance in Nuts & Bolts. Minecraft (2011, multiplatform) A skin pack depicting Banjo, Tooty, Mumbo, Gruntilda, and Klungo is available in the Bedrock Edition. It was originally released in 2012 exclusively for the Xbox 360, which has since been consolidated with various other versions of the game with the Better Together update. #IDARB (2016, Xbox One) Banjo and Kazooie are members of the "Rare Ltd." team in this eight-player eSports game. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (2018, Nintendo Switch) In 2019, Banjo and Kazooie collectively were added to this game as the third member of Fighters Pass Volume 1, and the fourth DLC fighter in general, reuniting with Diddy, Sonic and Minecraft's Steve. Spiral Mountain is their home stage, which features Bottles, Gruntilda, Mumbo, and Tooty as additional cameos.Banjo-Kazooie started development as a completely different game - an RPG for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System called Dream, which would have used the pre-rendered 3D graphical style of Banjo-Kazooie's predecessor, the Donkey Kong Country trilogy. After years in Development Hell and a hearty dose of inspiration from Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie debuted on the N64 on June 29, 1998. It was a critical and commercial success that cemented Rare's place as a vital supporter of the console in its losing race against the PlayStation. Despite their close relationship however, Microsoft purchased Rare in September 2002, divorcing the Bear and Bird from Nintendo's home consoles.Banjo-Kazooie saw an Updated Re-release for the Xbox 360’s Xbox Live Arcade, developed by Rare and 4JStudios. This version is largely the same as the original gameplay-wise, but uses the additional processing power of the 360 to save which Notes and Jinjos you’ve collected in a stage so you don’t have to chase them all down again after dying or exiting the level. It also runs in HD in a 16:9 aspect ratio, uses high res UI elements, uses updated camera controls, and restores functionality to the previously abandoned Stop ‘n’ Swop system. This version of the game has since been released physically as part of Rare Replay, which can be played on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X.In a Nintendo Direct on September 24, 2021, Nintendo announced that Banjo-Kazooie would be coming to Nintendo Switch as part of the Nintendo 64 Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack. This release is a straight port of the original N64 release, and the first time this version has been brought to modern consoles. It was added to the library on January 20, 2022. | |

Enter Solution Here: Even if you already know all of Cheato's codes in Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, you still can't use them until you've earned them. Rusty Bucket Bay also has a puzzle where you need to use a code written on the side of the ship, though you don't have to seek it out like with Cheato. By using the Internet (or just plain luck), you can find out that you can still use the cheats if you enter "CHEATO" in then the cheat backwards, rendering the poor book useless. Of course, you won't know the cheats unless you collected them all or have Internet access, meaning he can still be useful.note In the XBLA version, this will disable saving and you will be removed from the leaderboard. | |

Eternal Engine | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_19028da | comment |
Eternal Engine: Rusty Bucket Bay, while largely Down the Drain, includes a large interior whose machinery puts the ship into work. Banjo and Kazooie have to be careful when moving through the rotating setpieces, as they may otherwise fall into the pit and lose a life. There's a Jiggy that can only be obtained after slowing down the metallic fans from the central part of the area, while another Jiggy requires shutting down the underwater propellers so it can be safely collected. The boss is Boss Boom Box, a King Mook of the sentient explosive Boom Box crates, hidden in the ship's depository. | |

Giant Enemy Crab: Treasure Trove Cove has Nipper, the second boss of the game. He only became an enemy because of Kazooie's big mouth, but it's still necessary to defeat him because there's a Jiggy inside his shell. | |

Noob Cave | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_3121f1e6 | comment |
Noob Cave: Spiral Mountain in the first game. It's a small, short and very easy hub level to complete in one go and it lets you cut your teeth on the basics of the gameplay in a safe environment. Mumbo's Mountain falls in the same boat, but it gives you the real meat of the gameplay besides just learning moves and grabbing Honeycomb pieces. | |

Asteroids Monster: Boss Boom Box, the boss of Rusty Bucket Bay.

A mook example is the ice cubes found in Freezeezy Peak and the winter version of Click Clock Wood. | |

Game-Breaking Bug: If you lay two eggs into Leaky the Bucket from a ledge above and then jump near a Yum-Yum clam nearby while Leaky is speaking, if the Yum-Yum clam attacks you, the game will crash on the spot. During the final battle with Gruntilda, if you fall off the tower and let Grunty hit you just before you hit the death barrier, the game will softlock because Banjo is stuck in his pain animation indefinitely and floats around the tower aimlessly, forcing the player to reset the game. | |

It seems like the game is over, only for Tooty to remind them that Grunty got away and they need to stop her for good. Oddly enough, Tooty herself stays rescued. | |

Aquatic Mook: The game has only one aquatic enemy, but it's noteworthy. The Snacker is a blue shark that appears into scene whenever Banjo and Kazooie are swimming in the waters of Treasure Trove Cove (the only safe part is the water surrounding Captain Blubber's ship). Snacker returns in Rusty Bucket Bay, guarding the southwest waters (the one with a buoy where a yellow Jinjo is). | |

Sequential Boss: The final boss fight against Gruntilda has about four phases. The battle first has Banjo and Kazooie dodging her dive-bombs and retaliating when her broom stalls, then dodging her spells while hitting her with eggs, then taking to the air to hit her with the Beak Bomb, and finally summoning Jinjos to knock her off the tower. | |

Memory Match Mini-Game | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_372c3848 | comment |
Memory Match Mini-Game: Inside one of the pyramids in Gobi's Valley, the player has 100 seconds to Ground Pound the floor's tiles to reveal images and match the couples. If the images don't match, they'll flip back and the player will have to keep trying; if they do, they'll stay shown. There's a total of 16 tiles distributed in a 4x4 pattern (meaning there are 8 pairs). If all of them are revealed under the time limit, a Jiggy appears. In the Pop Quiz challenge near the end of the game, this minigame can reappear, with the added caveat that the time limit has been reduced to only 75 seconds. | |

Platform-Activated Ability: There are two round-shaped pads that are respectively tied to two of the moves the eponymous duo can perform when taught by Bottles: The green-colored Shock Spring Pads (which have the drawing of a bird's foot), allowing Kazooie to briefly duck to boost a tall Spring Jump and reach a high; and the blue-colored Flight Pads (which have the drawing of three red feathers), allowing Kazooie to fly. In both cases, the pads are shown empowering her with bright sparks (green in the former case, red in the latter), and neither the higher jump nor the flight are possible without these platforms. | |

Pop Quiz | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_39dceac1 | comment |
Pop Quiz: Grunty's Furnace Fun is an impromptu quiz of everything you've learned and seen from the game, taking place when you'd expect to be facing the Final Boss instead. The question categories are: General (simply answer a question regarding a character or event), Visual (identify the place or character shown), Musical (identify the soundtrack or sound effect heard), Personal (answer a question regarding Gruntilda's personal life), and Challenge (replay a minigame or boss battle, now with an extra perk that makes it much harder). The answers to personal questions about Gruntilda are randomized each playthrough, and can only be learned by talking to Brentilda in the parts of Gruntilda's Lair where she appears. As a final side note, there are two extra tile types in the minigame's board: Joker (any category except Challenge; answer correctly and you'll get two Joker cards that will allow you to bypass a tile; fail, and you won't get another chance) and Death (again any category except Challenge, and better have the right answer to the chosen question in your mind, or at least a Joker card to bypass it. If you fail, you'll be sent into the lava and die). | |

Bubblegloop Swamp | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_3d1d5186 | comment |
Bubblegloop Swamp: This game features the Trope Namer; its entrance lobby can be seen in the lower left corner of that page's image. It's a green, moist marshland filled with extensive moats of water populated by piranhas, making them dangerous to navigate without wearing Wading Boots or mounting water lilies. Red frogs (called Fibblits) and yellow dragonflies (called Buzzbombs) serve as the main mooks, with a group of strong yellow Fibblits serving as a Wolfpack Boss. It also includes several breakable huts built upon tall poles, a friendly giant turtle who needs your help and has a playable location inside his body (where a group of singing turtles are practicing for a rehearsal), a large egg that has to be broken from different angles, and a wooden maze flooded with piranha water where the Wading Boots are a must for navigation. At the end of that maze, Mumbo can be found; his magic in this level transforms Banjo and Kazooie into a small crocodile, who is not only immune to the piranha bites in the water but can also enter a much larger crocodile elsewhere to challenge a fellow specimen in a difficult minigame. | |

No Fair Cheating | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_42d9daf9 | comment |
No Fair Cheating: There are three kinds of "Cheats": "Cheats" which are just item capacity upgrades, which you get from Cheato anyway, "Infinite Item" cheats which give you unlimited Feathers/Eggs/air/whatever, and special "Bypass" cheats that let you get through parts of Grunty's Lair. But be warned—using more than two of the "bypass"-style cheats will result in Grunty deleting the offending save file. It was a nasty surprise to any players who had seen Bottles' threats of this beforehand and assumed Grunty's would play out the same, only to be met with an empty save upon restarting the game. The Xbox Arcade remakes of both original games make it so inputting ANY CHEAT (barring ones from Cheato or Bottles) will turn off saving, achievements, and the leaderboards. Mercifully, Bottles and Jamjars will at least warn you if you want to go through with this. | |

Player Nudge: As soon as Banjo first enters Gruntilda's Lair, the player is given two paths; the upper path is a dead end due to the slope being too steep for Banjo to traverse, prompting Bottles to give a hint that he could learn how to do it (via the Talon Trot) by going into Mumbo's Mountain, which is located on the other path. Provided the player hasn't already collected the Jiggy nearby, the subsequent roadblock (a puzzle to unlock the first level that's missing a piece) will have Bottles encourage the player to seek out the missing piece, to emphasize to players how important it is to collect them. | |

Ouija Board | |

Ouija Board: In Mad Monster Mansion, you have to spell the main characters' names on an enormous board to receive a Jiggy. And as they do so, they have to avoid touching the Tee-Hee who's roaming the board's perimeter. | |

Butt-Monkey | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: Quite a few. Kazooie seems to have it in for the universe. The universe retaliates by showing her no mercy. Gobi the camel is horribly abused by the main characters. Roysten, an extremely minor character who first appears in Banjo's fish bowl, is very often barbecued in the games in which he appeared. Not so in Nuts & Bolts, though. | |

Wing Shield | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_49afbef9 | comment |
Wing Shield: Kazooie can perform the Wonderwing ability when she learns it from Bottles in Clanker's Cavern. When used, Kazooie can use her wings to shield Banjo, making them both temporarily invincible. Each Gold Feather Kazooie collects grants her and Banjo two seconds of invincibility. They can hold up to ten Gold Feathers, but once they learn a special cheat from finding Cheato the Spellbook a third time,note GOLDFEATHERS they can hold up to twenty. | |

Animorphism | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_4aa3c552 | comment |
Animorphism: Visiting one of two shaman-type characters (Mumbo-Jumbo in the original and Grunty's Revenge or Humba-Wumba in Tooie) will allow you transform into different things; this is usually an animal (but not always; other transformations have included a tank, a submarine, and a washing machine). Oddly, the main characters are already animals. | |

Homing Projectile: One of Gruntilda's spells in her Final Boss battle can't be avoided without using invincibility. She performs it only twice during most of the battle (namely at the end of the first phase, and at the end of the second), but will periodically shoot it during the final phase, urging the duo to activate the Jinjonator to win the battle before they run out of Gold Feathers (or, should they persist, before they run out of HP). | |

Snowlems: In Freezeezy Peak and the winter season of Click Clock Wood, there's a snowman enemy called Sir Slush that can't move around, but does throw snowballs at you with pinpoint accuracy, and it laughs at you the whole time. The only way to defeat them is to knock off their stovepipe hats with a difficult aerial maneuver (and dispatching all of them on Freezeezy Peak is necessary to unlock a Jiggy). | |

Do Well, But Not Perfect: This is the secret to beating Boggy's second sled race. If you try to stay ahead of him, his Rubber-Band A.I. will ensure that he'll rocket ahead of you. Trail just behind him though (but not too far or he'll call off the race) and waiting till you're close to the finish line makes the race much easier, since Boggy won't be able to catch up to you in time when you jump ahead to the finish line. | |

Body Horror | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Embodied by Clanker, the garbage compactor. He resembles a shark made of scrap metal, and at first glance he seems to be a robot. Then you enter him, and find out that his interior shows remnants of organic material, crudely patched together with mechanical parts. The implication here is that he had once been a living creature, and was later reconstructed into a (fully sentient) waste disposal system. It doesn't stop here, though. The longer you think about it, the more you notice how many things are wrong with Clanker's anatomy. It is impossible to tell if Clanker is a whale or a shark, since he has both gills and a blow-hole (with a metal bolt in it). His gills are directly connected to his stomach. His body is filled with sharp, rapidly moving metal objects. His spine is located in his front, rather than his back. Weird parasitic tentacle creatures are growing out of his flesh. The list can probably be continued even further. A promotional VHS distributed prior to the game's release shows a brief glimpse of a fully organic Clanker in place of the mechanical one. Assuming that most of the level design remained similar, this would mean that Gruntilda had a living, breathing sea animal chained to a giant anvil so that he couldn't surface, and that she was still using him as a garbage disposal. It continues when Clanker becomes part of the museum in Nuts & Bolts — and he's still alive. The most you see of him is his head, which has been bolted into the floor, with his very sad-looking eyes watching you, his flesh/machine parts are now a sickly green color, and we don't even know what happened to the rest of his body. Mumbo's entire head is a fleshless skull. By Nuts & Bolts, he can pull his own eyes out, juggle with them, and pop them right back in again. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Think about it for a second. Grunty kidnapped Banjo's sister; did she really think he wouldn't come after her? She forces him to undertake a huge, dangerous quest and fight for his very survival, sending minion after minion to attack him relentlessly, all the while threatening him with bodily harm and outright demanding that he come up and face her, all because he's being a good big brother. It's also hinted in the instruction manual that it wasn't even Tooty that she was interested in surpassing in terms of the beauty department, but her sister Brentilda, and all Tooty's looks were to her was an excuse to finally use the machine that would allow her to grant this goal. Bottles also qualifies very early in the game when you say you know the moves and try to ask for help. After asking five times, Bottles gets increasing ticked off, to the point, by the fifth time, he tries to erase your game pak. His threat becomes a lot more serious in the French version, in which he tries to destroy your TV! | |

New World Tease: The puzzle for Click Clock Wood is located in an underwater cavern near the entrance to Treasure Trove Cove, but the podium is missing—you have to find the switch in Click Clock Wood's entrance very late in the game in order to use it. You can access Clanker's Cavern entrance right away, but you need the Shock Spring Jump from Treasure Trove Cove to access its puzzle. It's also possible to complete the Bubblegloop Swamp puzzle before you even go into Treasure Trove Cove, even though you won't have enough notes to get to that level yet. | |

All the Worlds Are a Stage: The game employs a very literal final-exam approach for this game's final level. In the final part of Gruntilda's Lair, the eponymous duo enters Grunty's Furnace Fun, where they have to win a contest against Grunty to rescue Tooty. Over the course of the contest, they have to answer questions about the game's past levels. Some questions show directly a level in-game and the answer revolves around a specific part of it, or a character that is in that level. Other questions are about character voices or items' sound effect. At certain points, the duo has to replay a minigame or boss that appeared in a past level, now under a strict time limit. | |

Both levels have evil snowmen that toss snowballs and can only be defeated by beak-bombing their hats. | |

Disc-One Nuke: The Wonderwing move. You learn it as early as Clanker's Cavern, and it effectively makes you invincible against enemies and kills all of them, even normally invincible enemies like the Mummies and Skeletons. The only catch is that you can only hold 10 feathers at a time for the move, and refilling it isn't easy due to how scarce the feathers are. | |

Beak Attack: The series gives Kazooie many moves along these lines such as the Beak Barge (Banjo crouches and then slides forward with Kazooie sticking her beak out), the Beak Buster (a Ground Pound move where Kazooie sticks her beak downward while falling from a jump), and the Beak Bayonet (during the First-Person Shooter Breegull Blaster segments where Banjo holds Kazooie like a gun, he jabs her forward). These moves would also be incorporated into their Super Smash Bros. Ultimate moveset. | |

Free-Sample Plot Coupon: The very first Jiggy Banjo and Kazooie collect, right at the entrance of Gruntilda's Lair, tells them that the objective of it and the other Jiggies in the game is to open new levels. Good thing that Jiggy was instantly available, and that the first world only requires one. | |

The Villain Must Be Punished: After beating Gruntilda in a quiz, the witch releases Tooty. However, even though Grunty's plot to steal her beauty has been thwarted and the heroes returned home to relax, Tooty demands Banjo and Kazooie to march back up and defeat the witch once and for all. After beating Gruntilda and trapping her under a boulder, that's when the heroes are allowed to relax until the sequel. | |

Nintendo Hard | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: The game is fairly easily aside from the odd challenge like Mr. Vile or Boggy's sled race, but one part of the game that is considered legitimately hard, even for experienced Banjo players, is the Boiler Room in Rusty Bucket Bay due to it demanding precision platforming over a Bottomless Pit, with narrow, shifting platforms and giant fans that will knock you aside if you so much as brush against them—one slip up, and you'll be starting the level all over again. | |

Gobi talks about going to the "lava world", a world that doesn't appear in the game but does end up appearing in the sequel. Mumbo also mentions turning Banjo into a T-Rex, but decides against it, saying he'd save it for the next game. | |

Permanently Missable Content | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_6602cad | comment |
Permanently Missable Content: In the first game, there are 116 Mumbo Tokens, but it's only possible to collect 115 of them due to a glitch in Mad Monster Mansion. For some reason, the level treats two Mumbo Tokens (one in the mansion's basement and another in the sewer) as one and the same, so collecting one will make the other vanish. The Mumbo Token in the water-logged pyramid in Gobi's Valley: once you collect the Jiggy at the bottom, the water drains, making the token unreachable. On the XBLA, completing the Bottles Bonus Puzzles before completing Mad Monster Mansion and Click Clock Wood can make some of the notes in those levels impossible to collect. This was fixed in an update from Xbox Live. There is a grille connecting the puzzles for Mad Monster Mansion and Rusty Bucket Bay. It's possible to destroy the grille from the Mad Monster Mansion puzzle room, but you must do it after you raise the water level twice. If you do so a second time, it will be unbreakable. This is often missed by fans, who approach the grille from the Rusty Bucket Bay puzzle room after raising the water level twice, believing it's the only way in there, and mistake it for a dead end. | |

Evil Laugh: Gruntilda has a pretty impressive one, especially when you hit the "Save and Quit" option in Banjo-Kazooie. She also laughs evilly constantly during the final boss battle. And, the game works an evil laugh into the beginning of the "Grunty's Lair" theme and all its variants, which restarts every time the music loops back to the beginning. Numerous minor enemies have one as well; Sir Slushes, Grublins, and Tee-Hees in particular. | |

Justified Tutorial: Bottles offers to teach you all of the games basic moves as soon as you leave Banjo's yard, but the game also gives players an option to skip it if they already know the basics. The former choice leaves the bridge to Gruntilda's Lair broken until you learn each individual move from Bottles, but the latter choice gives you all your moves and fixes the bridge off the bat. | |

Mad Monster Mansion, while nowhere as long as Click Clock Wood, is also longer than the rest of the game's levels, by virtue of its maze-like structure and having a lot of side areas, three of which are very large in scale. | |

Guide Dang It!: Click Clock Wood has two Snarebear Jiggies, one of which is so elusive and so easy to confuse with the one near the door high up in the Spring, that many players were led to believe they were experiencing a Game-Breaking Bug. The notorious Jiggy is located at a very well hidden platform that's even higher up around the tree than the first Snarebear Jiggy, and it's only accessible by using the bee transformation. | |

Iconic Item | |

Iconic Item: The series has Jiggies, golden puzzle pieces that serve as the main collectibles of the series. The games practically center around them, and there's an entire order dedicated to these golden relics as shown in Tooie and Grunty's Revenge. Even when Nuts & Bolts shifted focus to vehicle customization, the Jiggies remained as the big item to collect. It's such an iconic item that, when the titular duo were announced for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the telltale sign of their inclusion was a random Jiggy thrown through Donkey Kong's window. | |

Invincibility Power-Up: The Golden Feathers; interestingly, you can use them anywhere, though gold feathers are scarce and you can only hold 10 at a time (20 if you find and use one of Cheato's codes). | |

Absurdly-Spacious Sewer: All of Clanker's Cavern is a massive sewer. To put it in perspective, the central room contains the level's eponymous whale-sized robot shark. Clanker's Cavern itself is accessed through one of the many similarly large sewers of Gruntilda's Lair (though they're comparatively small). | |

Down the Drain | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_8b9c512e | comment |
Down the Drain: Clanker's Cavern, the third level. It's a large sewage network with many parts flooded, requiring efficiency when swimming in search of items to avoid drowning. The eighth level, Rusty Bucket Bay, where the oil-contaminated water drains your Oxygen Meter even on the surface, doing so at twice the normal rate when you are submerged. The part involving swimming past instant-kill propellers to get a Jiggy is one of the most difficult tasks, even by Rare themselves. | |

Backtracking | |

Backtracking: The game has a few bits of mandatory backtracking, but the bulk of the levels can be completed in one visit — Freezeezy Peak and Gobi's Valley are the two exceptions, as both have abilities in them that you have to learn from each other to complete them (i.e. you need the Beak Bomb unlocked in Freezeezy Peak to complete Gobi’s Valley, and you need the Turbo Trainers unlocked in Goby's Valley to complete Freezeezy Peak). | |

Mumbo's Mountain, the first actual level of the first game, overlaps with Death Mountain by having three steep slopes (two of which can be tackled when Kazooie learns the Talon Trot move, and another which will be slippery no matter what). Other features include some stone monuments, a large termite mound, an area (over)protected by a bull (Bigbutt) and another by an angry gorilla (Conga). | |

Night of the Living Mooks: The level Mad Monster Mansion has plenty of undead mooks: Limbo (skeletons that rebuild themselves after being crumbled to pieces by an attack from Banjo and Kazooie), Tee-Hee (green-colored ghosts based on Grublins that chase the characters relentlessly, and can only be defeated with a Golden Feather), and Portrait Chompa (skeletal versions of Grilla Chompa that come out of paintings to attack the duo). The game also has undead mummy enemies called Mum-Mums, but they appear elsewhere (in Gobi's Valley). | |

Invincible Minor Minion | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_92bd6627 | comment |
Invincible Minor Minion: There are four types of enemies that are impossible to kill by any means. A few areas contain a bull named Bigbutt, who cant be killed, though he can be knocked out for a few seconds. Whiplashes are a kind of fleshy tentacle thing that appear only in Clanker's belly, and are not affected by any means of attack. They closely resemble Whipcracks, an enemy that appears much later. Whipcracks can be killed with Eggs or Wonderwing, which pass right through Whiplashes and cannot reach them, respectively. Rusty Bucket Bay introduces Grimlets, living cowl ventilators with sharp teeth that can't be entered into or harmed — even the Wonderwing will just make Banjo bounce back if he uses it on them. Click Clock Wood introduces Snarebears, which can't be affected by any means at all, and the only way to protect yourself is to use the Wonderwing or transform Banjo into a bee (which they won't react to). | |

Dead Character Walking | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_988357f9 | comment |
Dead Character Walking: There's an unusual glitch you can trigger in flight — if you Beak Bomb into a wall with only one honeycomb left and hit the wall at the very last frame of the attack, you can fly around without dying. Curiously, if Banjo lands, he won't die, but if he attacks something like a beehive, he will die. Leaving the level or pausing and unpausing the game will cost you an extra life, but it refills your health and won't make you go through a death animation. | |

One-Hit Kill: In Rusty Bucket Bay, the propellers in the lower end of the ship's stern can kill the characters instantly upon contact. They can only be disabled for a limited time, and it's the reason why getting the Jiggy behind them is so difficult. In Gruntilda's Furnace Fun, the eponymous characters play a quiz game. Failing to answer a question on the green-eyed skull tiles will send them to the lava automatically, and they will die. | |

Hornet Hole | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_a41e84f7 | comment |
Hornet Hole: Click Clock Wood features a large beehive that contains a Jiggy and a Jinjo. Banjo can safely enter it in his bee transformation, but the hornets inside will attack him if he enters it normally. | |

Chekhov's Classroom: It's not a lecture, but Brentilda tells you a bunch of trivia regarding her sister when you talk to her. Remember those bits of trivia, as they will come into play during the Grunty's Furnace Fun quiz. The correct bits of trivia are chosen at random for each playthrough, too, so you can't cheat (unless you skip the Grunty questions with jokers). | |

And I Must Scream: At the end of the game, Grunty is trapped underground by a boulder and somehow manages to survive being Buried Alive for two years. By the time she's freed in the opening of Tooie, her flesh has rotted away completely. And by the end of the second game, she's reduced to just a skull and eyeballs — and, yes, she's still alive and conscious. (The third game gives her a robot body, which she seemingly gets to keep, so things do improve for her. Sort of.) | |

Missing Secret | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_a9cec1f1 | comment |
Missing Secret: Without the use of cheats, certain locations in the game become this: while Treasure Trove Cove's "Sharkfood Island" at least has an empty honeycomb beside it, you will probably end up being puzzled what's inside the closed door in Gobi's Valley and the crossed out wine barrel in Mad Monster Mansion. The worst? The Ice Key in Freezeezy Peak is visible and clearly a collectible, but you have no means of getting it through the thick transparent ice layer. | |

Palatial Sandcastle: In Treasure Trove Cove, there is a sandcastle in a pool of water that one has to drain to enter (while it's accessible with the water present, it's of no use in that case). Inside it is a letter grid drawn in the floor that is used for a spelling puzzle needed to earn a Plot Coupon and, more famously, to input the game's Classic Cheat Codes. | |

Final Boss | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_ad4a45be | comment |
Only 94 of 100 Jiggies and 810 out of 900 notes are required to reach the Final Boss. Rewards exist if you collect further notes (with 882 needed for the last one), such as free refills on your feathers and eggs before the final fight, and collecting all of them earns you an achievement in the XBLA version. There's also a double-health upgrade in exchange for four more Jiggies, bringing the total number necessary to unlock everything to 98. The last two Jiggies don't do anything, but getting all 100 allows you to see a bonus ending that reveals the locations of the Stop 'n' Swop items. | |

Always Night | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_b0155044 | comment |
Always Night: The creepy Mad Monster Mansion and the cheery Freezeezy Peak are both set entirely at night. It's also justified, because the former is themed around Halloween (in fact, Mumbo's spell of choice is to transform Banjo into a pumpkin), and the latter is a level with a Christmas theme. Bubblegloop Swamp has a pitch-black "sky", but it's not clear whether it's supposed to be night. | |

Oxygen Meter: The Oxygen Meter is represented by blue-colored honeycombs (in analogy to the yellow honeycombs that represent the standard health meter); if it runs out, you immediately drown. Rusty Bucket Bay has oily water that not only drains the meter twice as fast when submerged, but drains it at the regular speed when on the surface (this also happens with the water in Click Clock Wood in winter, due to its low temperature). | |

Continuing is Painful | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_c3d60914 | comment |
Continuing is Painful: You had to collect all 100 notes in each world in order to complete the game, since you need at least 810 of 900 notes to finish the game and 882 out of 900 to double your health before the final boss fight. Aggravating this is that the game had a strange score system for them where, if you left or died in a level without collecting them all and returned, you would have to collect them all over again plus the ones you missed in order to add to your note score (i.e. if you collect 50, then leave and come back, you have to collect 51 before your overall score will start increasing)note This is because technical limitations of the N64 prevented the game from saving that many collectibles without the aid of the Expansion Pak; notably, this is why the sequel bunched them together in clumps of 5-20. The more advanced Xbox 360, which was more than able to overcome this problem, was able to do away with the "note score" and just save the notes you collected. This becomes extremely frustrating in Rusty Bucket Bay, where a few notes are placed in the boiler room, where it is very easy to die, forcing you to collect all of the level's notes all over again. Jinjos also have to be collected in one go to get the Jiggy from them (which is a big headache in Rusty Bucket Bay (again), where one Jinjo is located in a far-off corner of the oxygen-draining polluted water). The Xbox Live Arcade and Rare Replay ports mitigated this by allowing you to keep the notes permanently on collecting them. | |

As the plant grows, Banjo and Kazooie must water it in Summer and Autumn by Beak-Busting Gobi so he will spit his water out at the plant. When the plant is fully watered, it is revealed to be a massive flower that blooms to reveal a Jiggy inside. To get to the top of the flower, Banjo and Kazooie must jump off the Zubbas' Hive a third of the way up the massive tree the level takes place in. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In the file select, Banjo can be seen playing a Game Boy, and the sound effects are taken from Donkey Kong Land. Grunty and her sister Brentilda are very reminiscent of The Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda. Likewise, Grunty's overall characterization in the first game was similar to the Evil Queen in Snow White. Grunty's line "It really does sound quite absurd, adventure of a bear and bird!" is similar to a line from the poem "Birdseed" by Brod Bagert. The third-place prize in Grunty's Furnace Fun is a plush Grunty. Grunty herself refers to it as a "cuddly toy", a possible reference to The Generation Game. This one was naturally lost on players outside the UK. Two of the levels reference Super Mario 64's levels. Freezeezy Peak is extremely similar to Snowman's Land, as both are ice levels dominated by a giant snowman that has to be climbed. Click Clock Wood makes conceptual references to Tick Tock Clock, being a late-game vertical level with an extremely similar name. Both levels operate on a temporal mechanic, with Click Clock Wood being based on the seasons while Tick Tock Clock had a mechanic of tuning the clock interior to different speeds. Click Clock Wood's central tree setpiece during the first section, spring, even resembles the hub entrance to Tick Tock Clock in 64, with the clock itself being framed in a large green-leaved tree. | |

Also, a special jigsaw puzzle at the very end rewards you with red Honeycombs that effectively double the life meter. | |

ToiletHumor | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_d442f9d1 | comment |
Toilet Humor: Mixed in with the Black Comedy and the innuendos are occasional smatterings of this. Notable examples include: Captain Blubber's Speaking Simlish, made up of belching noises. The farting sound that accompanies Kazooie's "reverse egg launcher" technique. A Jiggy in Mad Monster Mansion requires Banjo and Kazooie to flush themselves down a toilet and into the mansion's septic tank, something that even grosses out Gruntilda herself. The music for Clanker's insides has fart and burp noises sprinkled throughout. Some of the facts Brentilda gives about her sister, such as Grunty having a 'loogie bush' near her bed, streaky brown undies, among others. Nabnut, the squirrel Banjo and Kazooie meet in Click Clock Wood, is reduced to a burping and gassy mess during the Summer portion of the level. | |

Not-So-Safe Harbor | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_d53ecfe3 | comment |
Not-So-Safe Harbor: Rusty Bucket Bay, which serves as the eighth level. It is a harbor where the H.M.S. Rusty Bucket, a cargo ship that floats in oily water, resides. The dock workers all work for Grunty and are trying to attack Banjo and Kazooie, the oily water drains Banjo and Kazooie's Oxygen Meter twice as fast as regular water, Snorkel the Dolphin is trapped under the H.M.S. Rusty Bucket's anchor, Snacker the Shark lurks in the water near a buoy a Jinjo is stranded on, and another Jinjo is stranded on a barrel floating in a pool of toxic waste. You'll also need to use the cranes to get the Jiggy in the cage and to unlock Boss Boom Box's hideout, and there's also the infamous Jiggy hidden behind the H.M.S. Rusty Bucket's propeller blades. | |

Guest Fighter: The name of the Xbox 360 version of a Multi-Platform racing game explains itself: Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie. Banjo made his first appearance and debut in the video game world as one of these along with Conker in Diddy Kong Racing for the N64. Banjo and Kazooie pair up to take on the massive cast of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Downloadable Content character, their first appearance on a Nintendo platform in over a decade. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Mr. Vile's challenge is so frustrating to complete that the game gives you the option of coming back later after you've learned how to use the Turbo Trainers (which Banjo's crocodile transformation can use). These greatly increase Croc Banjo's speed, which makes beating Mr. Vile much easier. In Rusty Bucket Bay, during the ship whistle puzzle, the background music subtly switches to a music track that's identical to the main level theme, except with the music's whistles removed. This is to ensure the player doesn't confuse the background music with part of the puzzle. If you decide to obtain the last remaining Jiggies after defeating Grunty, you won't need to travel all the way to the top of the lair again, as the true ending will play immediately after you collect your last Jiggy. The XBLA version saves your highest note score and it stays there, while in the N64 version, you had to get all 100 notes in a level in one go; if you died or exited the world before you did, you'd have to start all over. | |

Empty Room Psych | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_dae59ff8 | comment |
Empty Room Psych: Can be invoked if you play the game on an original, used Nintendo 64 cartridge. The game doesn't store the Stop ‘n’ Swop items per save, but per cartridge, so if they have been collected already, their locations will remain empty on every new save. You will visit an empty ice cave, a secret, empty room behind a wine barrel, an ancient Egyptian tomb with nothing in it, and an entire remote island without anything. | |

In winter, he will claim that it's your fault he's stuck outside, even though Banjo and Kazooie had nothing to do with the placement of the boulder in the first place. | |

Battle Theme Music | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_e08fcc99 | comment |
Battle Theme Music: The game does the Boss Remix variety whenever you take on a boss, with the battle music being a more intense version of the level's background music. Unlike in the sequels, boss music in this game is played with a soundfont that matches that of the boss's level, while the other games use Orchestral Bombing. The exception is Gruntilda's final battle theme, which also uses an orchestra-styled soundfont because she is the Final Boss. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: In the Autumn section of Click Clock Wood, you're supposed to use the Wonderwing to get a few musical notes from a Snarebear trap. Thing is, unless you use Cheato's "Goldfeathers" cheat, you're stuck with a meager 10 the whole game, and gold feathers are far more scarce in all of the game's levels than red feathers, meaning that if you're careless with using them, it can become extremely tedious or near impossible to get those notes—approaching the snares as is isn't an option since they can whittle down Banjo's health very fast and knock him away. Factor in that you have to collect all 100 notes for each world in one go in the games original release, and it makes completing an already arduous level an even more exasperating challenge, though the HD port at least makes it so you don't have to collect every single note all over again. | |

Namely, the Mutie-Snippets in Clanker's Cavern, the Flibbits in Bubblegloop Swamp, the Zubbas in Click Clock Wood and, to a lesser extent, the Mr. Slushes in Freezeezy Peak. | |

Green Hill Zone | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_e63317eb | comment |
Green Hill Zone: Spiral Mountain, Banjo's home and the tutorial level of the first game. It has very basic enemies and its design is tailored for the study of the most basic skills taught by Bottles. It returns in Banjo-Tooie, although it's significantly gloomier thanks to the events of the game's intro and has been heavily ransacked by Gruntilda's minions. It appears yet again in Nuts & Bolts, serving as both the prologue area and later the battlefield for the last fight against Gruntilda. Mumbo's Mountain, the first actual level of the first game, overlaps with Death Mountain by having three steep slopes (two of which can be tackled when Kazooie learns the Talon Trot move, and another which will be slippery no matter what). Other features include some stone monuments, a large termite mound, an area (over)protected by a bull (Bigbutt) and another by an angry gorilla (Conga). Click Clock Wood is the penultimate level, though it has a surprisingly gentle and happy feel to it despite it being one of the most difficult levels in the game and the last "normal" level before you face Gruntilda. | |

The last half-dozen are only if you want 100% completion. With the use of cheat codes, the dummied out six Stop ‘n’ Swop eggs and the Ice Key can be collected. They are then visible in your inventory, and Banjo and Kazooie even comment on it when you collect them. In the original game, they don't do anything at all. | |

Railroading | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_f6f6adeb | comment |
Railroading: The game makes sure that you complete the first course thoroughly before it lets you tackle the rest of the game. The slope which takes you out of the lair's lobby is impossible to pass without learning the Talon Trot ability. Then you find out you need to collect just enough musical notes to pass the Note Door located at the top of the slope. And after that, you find out you need to collect enough Jiggies to complete the Treasure Trove Cove puzzle. And then the game forces you to play Treasure Trove Cove in and out, since another Note Door blocks you from reaching Bubblegloop Swamp, even though you can complete its puzzle before even entering Treasure Trove Cove, and the Clanker's Cavern puzzle requires you to learn the Shock Jump ability to reach it. The game is a little more lenient after that—you can complete Bubblegloop Swamp before Clanker's Cavern, for example. | |

| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_f821e963 | comment |
The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: Grunty's Furnace Fun, a board game/quiz show hybrid where you must answer specific kinds of questions depending on the tile you step on. Getting to the end leads to a small area with a few note doors leading to the Final Boss battle against Grunty. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: In Click Clock Wood, Eyrie the eagle is seemingly abandoned by his parents and relies on Banjo and Kazooie to feed him. If you refuse to do so until autumn, in winter he will be... gone. Of course, the other option is not much less cruel, as you need to feed him 15 live caterpillars who talk. You have the option not to destroy Gnawty's boulder in Spring, causing him to lament not being inside in Fall and for him to chide you in Winter. | |

Instructive Level Design | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_f8f1249 | comment |
Instructive Level Design: Spiral Mountain is designed to encourage players to get used to the game's moves and controls, with six Honeycomb Pieces lurking around to entice players further: The first of them is the area with tree stumps, where you learn the Feathery Flap and Flip Flap moves. Because the Honeycomb piece is impossible to reach with your normal jump, you're forced to use the move to reach it. The second of these is the area near the waterfall, with a Honeycomb sitting at the end. There are three platforms jutting out of the wall that are just too far apart for your normal jump to cross, forcing the player to try out the Feathery Flap to make it across. As an extra enticement, there's an Extra Life sitting even further ahead behind a waterfall, challenging the player to see how far they can go with the Feathery Flap to try and reach it. The third of these is a pair of trees near the stone bridge and the mountain, where you learn how to climb. You can't make it to the top of the tree with the Flip Flap, so you're forced to climb it to reach the Honeycomb floating above it. The fourth of these is the little quarry where you learn the Beak Barge. Even if you had learned how to attack beforehand, none of them can put on a scratch on the rocks, forcing the player to ram the rocks to break them open, with the last one busted awarding you a Honeycomb. The fifth of these is the garden where you learn how to attack. Because one of the enemies is airborne, it forces the player to try out the Rat-a-tat Rap attack to get used to its physics, thus rewarding them with a Honeycomb. The last of them is the moat around Spiral Mountain itself, where you have to learn to get used to the swimming controls in order to reach the Honeycomb hidden in an alcove below the mountain's wooden bridge. Mumbo's Mountain is also a great tutorial level that's tailored around making you learn how to use its three new moves in addition to the basic abilities you've learned so far. Once you learn how to shoot eggs, you're immediately given a mini-boss to encourage you to use them, as well as a totem pole near Mumbo's hut that gives you a Jiggy if you shoot eggs into it. There are three huge slopes in the level with items scattered around them, encouraging the player to try out the Talon Trot to traverse two of them. The Beak Buster is also learned right inside of a village where you can smash the nearby huts and get rewards. Ticker's Tower also encourages the player that there's a reason to seek out the Mumbo Tokens, since you need to use Mumbo's termite transformation to traverse it and reach the Honeycomb hidden in an alcove on a slope that's too slippery for even the Talon Trot to cross. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: The game is designed in a way to railroad you into making sure that you complete at least the first two levels in order to make sure to get the bulk of the moves you'll be using throughout the game. After that, you can complete Bubblegloop Swamp before you go into the Clanker's Cavern level. It is also possible to access and complete the Freezeezy Peak puzzle without having the Wading Boots ability or Bubblegloop Swamp transformation, simply by getting Banjo through the tunnel to it as fast as possible without getting killed by the piranha infested waters—tricky, but feasible. It's possible to bypass the slopes of the Termite Mound in Mumbo's Mountain without turning into a termite by timing Banjo's jumps very carefully. You can use the same trick to reach the Switch Jiggy that appears on top of the lobby for the level. In Clanker's Cavern, you can exploit Kazooie's egg laying ability by ejecting her eggs into Clanker's teeth while he's still underwater, allowing you to enter him before you raise him. In Freezeezy Peak, you can reach the Honeycomb piece in Wozza's Cave without the Walrus transformation by exploiting a glitch called the Quick Dive, while allows Banjo to dive far enough to go through the tunnel (normally, he can't dive underneath the freezing water, but the glitch bypasses this). Much of the game's quiz show in Grunty's Furnace Fun can be skipped with a family of related exploits. The Furnace Fun quiz show contains several Skull Panels that are supposed to launch you into lava if you fail to answer the questions they trigger correctly, ending the quiz show and causing instant death. However, they can be manipulated into not sending you into the lava, terminating the quiz show early yet allowing you to simply prance across the game board uninterrupted and skip right to the top of Grunty's Lair. In Gobi's Valley, there's a glitch that allows you to Beak Barge your way through the side of Jinxy, allowing you to access the inside of it without shooting eggs into its nose. Also, the switch Jiggy for that level can be reached without pressing the switch by using the Shock Jump pad nearby and leaping onto the coffin with the Jiggy on it, and then rolling into part of it—Banjo will clip through just enough to grab the Jiggy inside. In Rusty Bucket Bay, it's possible to use the Beak Barge to clip through the glass window in the Boiler Room, allowing you to get outside quicker when you shut off the ships propellers. In the same level, you can use the eggs to immediately knock back the Big Boom Box boss, skipping his intro cutscene while also giving you a couple second window to grab his Jiggy and hightail it out of there. Subverted in Click Clock Wood; it's possible to destroy the boulder blocking Gnawty's home in Spring, before the water level drains in Summer, by strategically laying eggs from the platform above. However, Gnawty will still act like the boulder is there, and because you were never intended to enter his home in Spring, it doesn't exist as part of the level's geometry, allowing you to jump out of bounds. There's a tricky clipping glitch involving the Talon Trot that allows you to skip past the door blocking you from accessing Dingpot, allowing you to fight Gruntilda without collecting 94 of the game's Jiggies. | |

| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_fb8271d8 | comment |
Deletion as Punishment: Talk to Bottles enough times in a playthrough where you decided to bypass his tutorial, and he'll eventually threaten to delete your save data (though Banjo convinces not to do it). If you use one too many cheat codes (not counting the ones you receive during the course of the game or Stop n Swop codes), Grunty actually will delete your save data. | |

Portal Endpoint Resemblance | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_fcf4a4bb | comment |
Portal Endpoint Resemblance: The nine worlds accessible from Gruntilda's Lair are entered from rooms that look like them, often complete with fake painted skies resembling those in the worlds. So Treasure Trove Cove is entered through a beach-like room complete with a fake pirate ship, Gobi Valley is entered through a palm tree on an outcropping in a room full of quicksand, and Mad Monster Mansion is entered through a steepled building in a gloomy graveyard, etc. Interestingly, this destination resonance is also true of the areas around the Jiggy murals you must fill in to open the entrances, even if the murals and entrances are far from each other; for instance, the mural to open Freezeezy Peak is in a very icy room. | |

Bigger on the Inside | |
| Banjo-Kazooie (Video Game) / int_fe1b2e75 | comment |
Bigger on the Inside: Even before you factor in all the levels in Grunty's castle, that place is enormous in comparison to the outside. When you actually do factor in the levels, there has got to be either some kind of magical teleportation going on, or Grunty can fold three-dimensional space like no-one's business. A lot of interior locations (too many to list) would qualify. Rusty Bucket Bay's Engine Room and Chuffy's Boiler are just a few examples. | |

Whiplashes are a kind of fleshy tentacle thing that appear only in Clanker's belly, and are not affected by any means of attack. They closely resemble Whipcracks, an enemy that appears much later. Whipcracks can be killed with Eggs or Wonderwing, which pass right through Whiplashes and cannot reach them, respectively. | |
