'''Bee Banjo''' is a recurring transformation in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].
'''Bee Banjo''' is a special, unique transformation that appears in both ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''.


==[[Banjo-Kazooie]]==
==Transformation==
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', the Bumble Bee (or Bee as it is called in the game) is the transformation of [[Click Clock Wood]], as well as the most expensive one in the game (costing a whopping twenty-five [[Mumbo Token]]s to perform). Its value lies in its ability to fly by pressing {{A}} in mid-jump, without requiring the use of [[Red Feathers]] or a [[Flight Pad]].
In its debut appearance, ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Bee Banjo is the transformation of [[Click Clock Wood]]. [[Mumbo Jumbo]] only allows Banjo to become a bee in the spring because Mumbo has various excuses for the other seasons. If Bee Banjo enters another season or reaches certain zones, he transforms back to his usual form. In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Bee Banjo is the transformation of [[Cloud Cuckooland]]. Banjo can only reach and enter the [[Zubba's Nest]] as a bee. Bee Banjo can earn a [[Jiggy]] in the nest by completing a mini-game.


When flying, the player can press {{A}} to fly higher and hold {{B}} to fly faster. When the Bee enters water though, it will immediately fly automatically. The Bee is also immune to the thicket area surrounding [[Mumbo's Skull]] and to the [[Snarebear]]s; however, the transformation is only usable in Spring (as [[Mumbo Jumbo]] has various excuses in the other seasons). Interestingly enough, cheat codes have proven that Bee Banjo can walk on the quicksand of [[Gobi's Valley]] and the murky waters of [[Bubblegloop Swamp]], but not on [[Freezeezy Peak]]'s ice water. A possible explanation is simply because of the different settings of ice water as opposed to quicksand. As you'll stand in a bottom of water, rather than walking on top of the sand.
==Abilities==
As a bumble bee, Banjo can fly without [[Red Feather]]s or a [[Flight Pad]]. While Bee Banjo is in midair, the player can make him fly by pressing {{Button|N64|A}} and hold {{Button|N64|B}} to make him fly faster. Bee Banjo automatically starts to fly when he hits water.


==[[Banjo-Tooie]]==
In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Bee Banjo cannot take damage from the [[Snarebear]]s and the thicket area surrounding [[Mumbo's Skull]].
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', the Bee is the native transformation of [[Cloud Cuckooland]]. In addition to its flight abilities introduced in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', it can now fire stingers at enemies using {{Z}} (with {{C-up}} to aim). When flying, you can fire at a much faster rate than when standing. Stingers do similar damage to [[Blue Eggs]] and are the only way to destroy the [[Eyeballus Jiggium Plant]]s. The Bee will also leave an animation trail of blue sparks when flying faster.


The Bee is the only way to reach and enter [[The Zubba's Nest]] and complete the mini-game to earn a [[Jiggy]] ([[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] are unable to enter because only bees are allowed inside).
In ''Banjo-Tooie'', Bee Banjo can fire stingers at enemies. The player can press {{Button|N64|Z}} to make Bee Banjo fire stingers and aim with {{Button|N64|cup}}. Bee Banjo can fire at a much faster rate than when he is on land. Bee Banjo's stinger projectiles do not cause much damage, although it is the only way for him to defeat the [[Eyeballus Jiggium Plant]]s. While flying at a fast speed, Bee Banjo leaves behind an animation trail of blue sparks.

*The bee is the only ''Banjo-Kazooie'' transformation whose magic can run out within a level. Bee Banjo will automatically change back to regular form upon entering the Summer, Autumn, and Winter sections of Click Clock Wood. It also happens to have the most zones where the transformation can be undone (with seven) while every other transformation only has one.

Bee Banjo is a recurring transformation in the Banjo-Kazooie series.

Transformation[edit]

In its debut appearance, Banjo-Kazooie, Bee Banjo is the transformation of Click Clock Wood. Mumbo Jumbo only allows Banjo to become a bee in the spring because Mumbo has various excuses for the other seasons. If Bee Banjo enters another season or reaches certain zones, he transforms back to his usual form. In Banjo-Tooie, Bee Banjo is the transformation of Cloud Cuckooland. Banjo can only reach and enter the Zubba's Nest as a bee. Bee Banjo can earn a Jiggy in the nest by completing a mini-game.

Abilities[edit]

As a bumble bee, Banjo can fly without Red Feathers or a Flight Pad. While Bee Banjo is in midair, the player can make him fly by pressing A Button and hold B Button to make him fly faster. Bee Banjo automatically starts to fly when he hits water.

In Banjo-Kazooie, Bee Banjo cannot take damage from the Snarebears and the thicket area surrounding Mumbo's Skull.

In Banjo-Tooie, Bee Banjo can fire stingers at enemies. The player can press Z Button to make Bee Banjo fire stingers and aim with Camera up Button. Bee Banjo can fire at a much faster rate than when he is on land. Bee Banjo's stinger projectiles do not cause much damage, although it is the only way for him to defeat the Eyeballus Jiggium Plants. While flying at a fast speed, Bee Banjo leaves behind an animation trail of blue sparks.
