Game(s)	Banjo-Tooie
Usage	Remote-controlled explosive

Clockwork Kazooie Eggs are relatively large, spotted ammunition eggs which contain tiny controllable bombs shaped in the likeness of Kazooie. Jamjars teaches the breegull how to use them in the Wasteland area of the Isle o' Hags, just outside the entrance to Terrydactyland. Unlike other eggs, they will fall into a low arc when fired, and crack open upon hitting the ground to reveal the tiny walking explosive. The bomb itself can be controlled with the Control Stick and has a limited jumping ability. It will explode after 20 seconds, when it hits an enemy, or it falls into a pool of water. It can also be detonated manually by pressing Template:B. It will also explode if Banjo or Kazooie is attacked while the player is controlling the bomb.

Among the advantages of Clockwork Kazooie bombs is their small size which allows them to fit into tight spaces. Baddies will ignore them, making them useful for sneak attacks against enemies which might be unapproachable from the front. Their explosive power makes them extremely damaging when used in combat, and also means that they can be used to blow up rocks and other obstacles when Grenade Eggs are in short supply. Unlike other eggs, where multiple eggs are received, you only get one of these when you grab a nest with the egg.

One interesting property of Clockwork Kazooies is that they can collect items. This can lead to quite a few sequence breaks, such as collecting a high-up Jiggy without needing to earn the Springy Step Shoes.

Trivia
