Pack Whack

Pack Whack is an attack ability for Banjo learned from Witchyworld, and can be used simply by pressing while Banjo is alone. After splitting up, Banjo can swing his backpack around and hit enemies without the risk of injuring Kazooie. Although it it a relatively weak attack, it doubles as a jumping aide, since Banjo will hover for a second or two as he swings the pack, allowing him to jump farther. In addition, Banjo is able to jump a second time after using the move, ultimately allowing him to gain more distance and more height than he and Kazooie would with a basic jumping ability like the Feathery Flap.

The Pack Whack is also featured in Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, and is the first attack learned in the game.
