The only time the Beak Bomb is ever required to hit a moving target is the final battle with [[Gruntilda]] in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', but even then, she is a slow-moving target who sits still every once in awhile.

In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', {{button|N64|B}} can be held to keep the Beak Bomb going for an additional feather every second. Tilting the control stick also gives the attack limited directionality in mid-air, making course corrections easier if you realize you're about to miss a target (or hit something undesirable). Because of its ability to gain altitude in this way, not to mention the huge horizontal distance it can cover, the Beak Bomb is an excellent way to fly across long distances quickly at a minimal feather cost, considering the steady loss of altitude which accompanies flying normally.

“Use the devastating Beak Bomb aerial attack by pressing B Button while Kazooie is flying.”
Bottles, Banjo-Kazooie

The Beak Bomb is an aerial attack in Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie. To execute the move, the player must press B Button while Kazooie is flying in midair. By doing so, Banjo and Kazooie quickly charge at a target like a missile, although this costs them one Red Feather each time the move is used.

One should use this move cautiously, however, for should the pair hit anything which was not intended to be struck with the Beak Bomb, they will suffer injuries and may be forced to land from the sudden drop in altitude if used too close to the ground. Beak Bombing the ground also results in a long period of slowdown as the two slide a fair distance, as well as a loss of health. The Beak Bomb gives off its own death animation if Banjo and Kazooie accidentally lose all their health by crashing into a wall or the ground.
