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. | The '''Beak Buster''' is an attack learned from [[Bottles]] in [[Mumbo's Mountain]].

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. | 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. However, the Beak Buster can be more useful in combat than the Bill Drill, as the former takes less time to perform than the latter, killing foes more quickly. | ||
A tactic adapted from the "Ground Pound" technique from ''[http://www.mariowiki.com/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. | A tactic adapted from the "Ground Pound" technique from ''[http://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_64 Super Mario 64]'' can reduce the amount of damage taken from long falls.
