Snippet

Snippet is a large crab enemy in Banjo-Kazooie. They are most often featured in Treasure Trove Cove.

Like most enemies, Snippets attack Banjo and Kazooie when they comes into range, running at them sideways and snapping his claws menacingly. Defeating a Snippet is somewhat more complicated than with most other enemies: weaker attacks such as rolling or using blue eggs merely knocks the creature onto its back, from which it can right itself up if it is not hit with a subsequent attack.

If the Snippet can be defeated while standing with a stronger attack such as the Beak Buster or the Wonderwing, it yields two Honeycombs rather than just one, making these creatures ample sources of easy energy provided the right strategy is used.
