Bill Drill

The Bill Drill is a variation of the Beak Buster ability where Banjo and Kazooie will spin rapidly in the air and drill into an object rather than just pounding it. It is primarily used for breaking boulders which are too strong for the Beak Buster alone to handle. It can be learned in Glitter Gulch Mine and is performed by jumping with and holding.

While the Bill Drill is useful, there is only one place in Banjo-Tooie where it must be used - the Cactus of Strength. All other Bill Drill-able objects can be taken care of with Grenade Eggs. Incidentally, the Cactus of Strength is not only the sole place where the Bill Drill must be used, but the only place where the move it replaced - the Beak Buster must be used as well. (And even then, Grenade Eggs are also required.)

Jamjars' Rhyme

 * This makes breaking so
 * much fun,
 * now listen up to how it's
 * done!
 * Leap high in the air and
 * then hold
 * watch Kazooie spin and
 * drill with her head!



In Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, this ability replaces the standard Beak Buster and is mostly used to open crevices and shake items down from trees and statues. It is performed by pressing after jumping or while in the air. Banjo and Kazooie learn the Bill Drill from Bozzeye in Bad Magic Bayou for the price of 170 Musical Notes. It may also be used as an attack, and while it deals a killing blow to most any enemy, using it can sometimes be difficult and impractical.
