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 a recurring move in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].


A tactic adapted from the "Buns of Steel" technique from ''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.
