Talon Trot

The Talon Trot is an ability learned from Bottles on Mumbo's Mountain in Banjo-Kazooie and carries over to Banjo-Tooie. It is one of the earliest moves learned and also one of the most useful. Hold and press, and Kazooie will stick her legs out of the backpack and carry Banjo around as long as  is held. Not only does this allow the duo to move much faster, but the Talon Trot is needed to tackle slopes too steep for Banjo to walk up on his own (although some slopes are too steep even for the Talon Trot). When alone, Kazooie retains the Talon Trot's slope-climbing ability. In Banjo-Kazooie, the two need to learn this to proceed to the next area in the tower after Mumbo's Mountain.



In Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, the Talon Trot is learned from Bozzeye on Breegull Beach, and has the same functionality as the move from the console games. To execute it, hold and press. Unlike with its previous incarnation, no buttons need to be held while running with this move.
