Overview

Banjo and Kazooie are a jack-of-all trades, master of none. Banjo & Kazooie have two projectiles, both of which cover different gaps - Rear Egg provides excellent trapping pressure and allows the duo to play neutral more effectively with one backing them up, while Egg Firing/Breegull Blaster allows you to set up some smaller traps and tech coverage that can also stance shift into its gun mode to use as a combo tool. Banjo & Kazooie's neutral is primarily made up of attempting to use their few safe pokes in Forward Tilt and Down Tilt to outrange the opponent, as well as utilizing the previously mentioned Rear Egg to make some of their options generally safer. Banjo & Kazooie primarily get KOs through using Down Throw into either Up Tilt for fast mashes or Up Smash for slow mashes, as well as spacing with moves like Forward Aerial and confirming into Wonderwing.

Overall, despite Banjo & Kazooie's array of tools, they mostly centralize around a zoning/trapping game due to the absurd strength of Rear Egg - however, it's also due to the generally poor quality of some of their other tools. One of Banjo & Kazooie's least desirable attributes is their safety on shield, as the duo only has one normal that is less than -10 on shield—Banjo's Forward Aerial. This leads to the duo having issues when it comes to safely throwing out moves, as many of their moves can be easily punished on shield if not perfectly spaced by the B&K player. As well, the duo struggles with damage output, as many of their moves output low damage and do not have any significant combos out of them. The main two options the duo has to alleviate this are combos with their two projectiles—however, the two both encourage very different styles of play, with Rear Egg encouraging a less aggressive and more zoning-based playstyle, whereas Egg Firing/Breegull Blaster requires you to make a commitment and go in to hit combos with the Breegull Blaster gun stance.

Banjo & Kazooie occupy a similar space to characters like Snake or R.O.B., but with significantly worse normals (well, mostly) and damage in exchange for some more specific niche tech and a few extra bonuses. If you're willing to put up with that to use some of the duo's better tools, then Banjo & Kazooie are the character for you.

Summary

Banjo & Kazooie are a jack of all trades, master of none with a strong emphasis on zoning and trapping.
Pros	Cons
Excellent Projectiles, Courtesy of Kazooie Herself: The moves where Kazooie respectively shoots eggs out of her backside and mouth, Rear Egg and Egg Firing/Breegull Blaster, give Banjo & Kazooie a pretty decent zoning game overall. Kazooie Is Basically Like a Sword: Kazooie herself does not have a hurtbox, aside from Banjo & Kazooie's Talon Trot running animation and the duo's up tilt. As such, all melee attacks involving any part of Kazooie's body are fully disjointed. Lots of Depth: Banjo & Kazooie's niche tech in the form of KFC (Kazooie Fast Cancel) and various optimizations to grenade egg play give the bear-and-bird duo a lot of depth to explore, making them a labber's dream. Good Survival: Banjo's pretty high weight, Kazooie's multiple jumps, and the duo's excellent recovery make it very hard for the duo to die at early percents and allow them to consistently survive to percentages around 140 and 150.	Poor Damage: Despite the duo's heavyweight status, Banjo & Kazooie struggle with a lack of significant damage output in many matchups and a generally poor advantage, meaning that the duo has to win much more neutral than the opponent to get anything done. Unsafe on Shield: Very few of Banjo & Kazooie's moves are safe on shield, making them very hard to throw out in neutral. In particular, their neutral, up and back aerials, despite being faster and weaker than their powerful forward aerial, suffer from unnecessarily high landing lag compared to the rest of the cast. Bad Anti-Airs: Banjo & Kazooie have issues hitting characters out of the air, as their Up Aerial has very little reward on hit, their Up Smash has high ending lag, and their Up Tilt has a criminally small hitbox.

Using a Golden Feather, Banjo & Kazooie charge forward while invincible. It's an invincible burst attack that packs a punch while consistently bypassing most attacks and projectiles in the game, and can be quite nasty if used for a hard read. The clean hit is quite powerful (and one of the duo's strongest attacks, alongside their smash attacks, dash attack, up tilt, forward aerial and back throw), but the late hit is not nearly as powerful. It can cross up shields quite consistently, but suffers from noticeable ending lag that can make it punishable if it misses or if it gets shielded.

Grenade eggs produced using Rear Egg can potentially be comboed into Wonderwing, which can be an effective KO confirm depending on the opponent's percentage and B&K's positioning. Comboing Breegull Blaster's close-range egg hitbox into Wonderwing is also possible, though it is much harder to pull off, and requires usage of the advanced KFC technique to perform correctly; it is usually also preferable to go for the easier and more consistent Breegull Blaster→up tilt KO confirm instead in that case.

In the air, this move actually causes Banjo & Kazooie to move slightly downward while charging forward. It can be used as a recovery move, and does not place Banjo & Kazooie into a helpless state either, which allows them to use their midair jumps, any aerial attack, a directional air dodge, and/or any special move of choice (including Shock Spring Jump or possibly even another Wonderwing) afterward.

While the move is normally completely invincible to most non-grab moves (even being able to bypass unblockable non-grab attacks such as Little Mac's KO Uppercut), it always loses to grabs (including most unblockable command grab moves, and even the blockable Fishing Rod and Buster Wolf hit grabs from Isabelle and Terry respectively). Additionally, while it normally ignores most counters, there are two notable exceptions to this rule: Mii Brawler's Counter Throw and Sora's notorious Counterattack.

This move is also limited to five uses per stock. At the beginning of any stock for Banjo & Kazooie, five Golden Feathers can be seen above Banjo's head. Each use of Wonderwing uses up a Golden Feather, and once Banjo & Kazooie have used up all five Golden Feathers, Wonderwing becomes a useless move without any hitbox, depriving the duo of a potent recovery option and powerful burst attack until they get KOed and respawn. If Banjo & Kazooie run out of Golden Feathers while on their last stock, they're kinda doomed for the rest of the match.

Against Chrom's Soaring Slash, Ike's Aether and Pichu's Agility up special moves when used to recover to the ledge (as well as other recovery moves that struggle to grab the ledge), Wonderwing is a highly effective on-stage edgeguarding option.

It is recommended to not overuse Wonderwing when playing as Banjo & Kazooie, due to it being limited to five uses per stock, along with the move's high ending lag and its vulnerability to opposing grab moves (especially in certain matchups).

Banjo quickly turns around, and Kazooie does a double-footed upward-arcing kick that launches the opponent forward, followed by Banjo himself turning around again to face the direction of the opponent. While this move lacks combo or KO potential, it can be used to create space between Banjo & Kazooie and their opponent, making it useful for resetting neutral. Kazooie's kick is also a collateral hitbox that can hit bystanders in front of her. It can also be used to setup edgeguards. However, this is slightly counterbalanced by forward throw's launch angle being a little too high for its intended purpose.

Holding his foe by the torso with both hands, Banjo swings his foe around twice before tossing them behind him. This move is quite similar to Mario's back throw in both appearance and function, even featuring a collateral hitbox that can hit nearby opponents in the vicinity of Banjo & Kazooie.

This is a very powerful KO throw near the ledge—quite possibly the strongest KO throw of any DLC fighter in the entire game (not including Hero's up throw boosted by Oomph and/or Psyche Up). It's also Banjo & Kazooie's single most damaging throw.

Banjo quickly tosses the foe upward with both of his hands, and Kazooie immediately pecks at them with her beak afterward. This throw cannot true combo into any of Banjo & Kazooie's moves due to its high base knockback and high ending lag, while its knockback scaling is far too low to KO at realistic percentages (it doesn't even KO Mario on Final Destination until 440%). At 0%, up throw→up aerial can catch many double jumps (particularly shorter ones, ones from large characters, or delayed ones) as well as any escape options slower than frame 3; it is for instance guaranteed against Ganondorf due to his low double jump, large hurtbox and lack of escape options faster than frame 4, but useless against Luigi due to his very high double jump and frame 1 invincible Luigi Cyclone down special.

Aside from maybe setting up juggle/frametrap situations and occasional platform tech-chases, this move is otherwise bad, and it's recommended that players avoid using it most of the time in favor of other moves.

Very similar in both appearance and function to King K. Rool's down throw. Banjo lifts the foe high up into the air with both of his hands, then powerfully dunks them headfirst into the ground which buries them. At high percentages, this can lead to a 50/50 situation against most characters, with up tilt catching opponents who mash out of the bury quickly, and up smash catching ones who don't.

It's also Banjo & Kazooie's least damaging throw.
