In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', Banjo and Kazooie have forgotten their abilities and have become obese over time. If Banjo attempts to jump in this state, he creates a small shockwave, causing the camera to shake a bit as he drops onto the ground. L.O.G. refuses to grant their abilities back, and rather has them compete against Gruntilda by creating awe-inspiring vehicles for all sorts of terrain and conditions. Kazooie is also given the Magic Wrench, which can be used for attacking enemies, carrying objects and turning pipes. | In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', Banjo and Kazooie have forgotten their abilities and have become obese over time.
