- “Use the devastating Beak Bomb aerial attack by pressing 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 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.
Game appearances
Banjo-Kazooie
In Banjo-Kazooie, the duo learn Beak Bomb in Freezeezy Peak. It the only attack capable of defeating Sir Slushes. Its other purpose is to charge into distant switch and targets. The Beak Bomb is required to hit a moving target in the final boss battle against Gruntilda.
Banjo-Tooie
In Banjo-Tooie, Beak Bomb returns as a default move, like the other Banjo-Kazooie moves. The player can now hold to continue using the Beak Bomb, but this uses a Red Feather every second. Tilting the Control Stick also gives the Beak Bomb limited direction in mid-air.
