Wading Boots

Wading Boots (aka Swamp Boots) are rubber boots that are worn to protect Banjo and Kazooie from various otherwise-damaging terrain, such as Piranha Water in Bubblegloop Swamp, while using the Stilt Stride ability.

The boots are time-limited, so the pair must work quickly to cross the terrain before they expire. Pressing will end the effect early before the time limit has expired. Wearing Wading Boots causes Kazooie to walk slower than usual in Banjo-Kazooie, while there is no speed change in Banjo-Tooie. However, jumping is impaired in both games. When alone, Kazooie can use the boots but Banjo cannot. The Wading Boots are used less often in Banjo-Tooie than in Banjo-Kazooie.
