Split-Up Pad



Pairs of Split-up Pads are the key to splitting up. Stand on the Banjo pad and press to control Banjo, and press  again while still standing on it to switch to Kazooie. Sets of pads can usually be found nearby puzzles which require the use of a certain character, or at least along a route which that character can travel by themselves. Many worlds have multiple sets of pads, and you can switch between characters even when using totally different sets. There are also spots of floating colors that are only seen while split-up, where you may switch from one character to another. Sparkling fields over pre-set areas (usually swithches) that sparkle blue, red, and yellow, allow the character to trade places while not standing on a split-up pad.

Trivia

 * On the rim of the Banjo pad, it reads "Gu-huh", and on the Kazooie pad, it reads "Breee", referring to what Banjo and Kazooie mainly say.
