The '''Beak Buster''' is a recurring move in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].
The '''Beak Buster''' is an attack learned from [[Bottles]] in [[Mumbo's Mountain]]. When {{Z}} is pressed any time in the air (making the move more commonly used with {{A}} + {{Z}}), [[Banjo]] will flip upside-down and [[Kazooie]] will pound the ground with her beak. It is arguably one of the most useful moves in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' since it is needed to pound floor switches and can also be used to break fragile objects such as wooded huts. The Beak Buster can also deal heavy damage to enemies, but getting above taller enemies to use the move can be tricky.


==Overview==
The move is kept intact in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', but its uses are fewer because most switches are weight-activated and the [[Bill Drill]] is used more often, especially on boulders.
Beak Buster involves [[Banjo]] using [[Kazooie]]'s beak to hit the ground in order to attack enemies, activate switches or destroy obstacles


===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
A tactic adapted from the "Ground Pound" technique from ''[[w:c:mario:Super Mario 64|Super Mario 64]]'' can reduce the amount of damage taken from long falls. If the Beak Buster is used at the bottom of a fall, Banjo instantly loses all his downward momentum, essentially starting the fall over again from a lower point. This is more useful for shorter falls than extremely long ones, since Banjo cannot use the Beak Buster if he has been falling for too long, and using it too soon can lead to taking more damage than from the fall alone.
In Beak Buster's debut appearance, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', [[Bottles]] teaches Banjo and Kazooie how to use the Beak Buster in [[Mumbo's Mountain]]. It is perfomed by jumping with {{button|N64|A}}, then pressing {{button|N64|Z}} while in the air.


===''Banjo-Tooie''===
When Banjo hits the ground after a Beak Buster, he bounces upwards a bit. This "rebound" makes Banjo completely invincible, including from fall damage. Experienced players sometimes use this trick to fall long distances safely or avoid certain other hazards.
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Beak Buster is among the moves known by Banjo and Kazooie from the start, and Bottles' ghost can remind them how to if they forgot in [[Spiral Mountain]]. It is performed the same way it did previously, but is used much less due to the introduction of the [[Bill Drill]], a more powerful version of the Beak Buster that can break boulders.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Beak Buster appears as the duo's down-facing air attack.
