Musical Note

Musical Notes are items which have appeared in every Banjo-Kazooie game to date. Although their appearance has not changed much, their exact function varies greatly from game-to-game.

Banjo-Kazooie
Notes make their debut in Banjo-Kazooie, where they are used to open various Note Doors throughout Gruntilda's Lair. Each world contains 100 notes, and each note the Banjo and Kazooie collect adds to their total note score for that world; however, because the notes themselves cannot be taken out of the world, they will be reset if Banjo and Kazooie die or leave the world, meaning they will have to be collected all over again if any are missed. Note doors will open if the total note scores from all the combined worlds is at least equal to the number shown on the door.

Banjo-Tooie
Notes are used to learn new abilities from Jamjars. But first, you have to find his silos in the levels.

Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge
Notes are used to purchase new abilities and moves to learn from Bozzeye. But again, as seen above, you must find Bozzeye, before you can learn the move.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Notes are used as currency to buy various parts and sections for your vehicle, as well as blueprints and other items.
