Forward Roll

The Forward Roll is an attack that is used simply by pressing while running. It is a basic but useful attack, and although it does not do as much damage and is not as easily controlled as the Rat-a-tat Rap, it is especially handy for dealing with enemies which are low to the ground. In Banjo-Tooie, Kazooie uses her wings to assist Banjo in rolling, which increases the speed and maneuverability of the attack. As a result, Banjo cannot use the move by himself, and appears to rather use his solo move, Pack Whack.

The Forward Roll can also be learned from Bozzeye in Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge. Bozzeye teaches it to Banjo in Cliff Farm for the price of 60 Musical Notes. The ability is performed exactly as it is in Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie by pressing while running. It still deals little damage to enemies but it is easier to control.
