Snowball Banjo

The Snowball is the transformation of Hailfire Peaks. Banjo can use a powerful rolling attack to run over enemies when is held. He will shrink in size if he takes damage, but can heal himself and make himself larger simply by rolling around in some thick snow. Being large and heavy makes it possible for Snowball Banjo to activate old, rusty switches, but also makes fitting through small doorways difficult; as such, purposely taking damage to make Banjo smaller is sometimes needed to get into tight spaces.

Being made of snow, Snowball Banjo cannot survive long on the Fire Side of Hailfire Peaks, but some puzzles require him to use the Fire Side as a connector between areas which he cannot access by himself on the Icy Side, so strategize carefully and plan your trips so you spend the least possible amount of time away from the safe side.

A note of warning: Since you have to hurt yourself to one honeycomb in order to get back into Wumba's Wigwam, you will get stuck if you play as the Snowball with the HONEYKING cheat activated, since you can't lose any health then.
