In the Banjo-Kazooie series, the characters will state or do something that implies they are self-aware and know they are in a video game; this is known as breaking the fourth wall. The term "fourth wall" originated from plays when actors look or interact with the audience. Since the stage has a wall and two sides, this concept refers to an invisible wall behind the audience.
