An '''Extra Life''' is recurring item in the [[Banjo-Kazooie series]]. Despite the implication their name gives, their function is actually different from game to game.
'''Extra Lives''', also known as '''Golden Banjos''',<ref>''Banjo-Kazooie: The Official Player's Guide'', page 16</ref> are items in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. As their name suggests, an extra lives provide an additional life to the player. Extra Lives are golden statuettes of [[Banjo]] flexing his muscles.
 
In terms of appearance, these items have changed quite a bit over the course of the series; however they have kept the same general design: golden statuettes of [[Banjo]], flexing his muscles.

Extra Lives were not featured in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' because it does not have a lives system.

This is the only game that Extra Lives serve this purpose. They do not appear in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' because it does not have a life system as its predecessor did, thus these golden Banjo statues were not needed.

The Extra Life statue is much larger than Banjo but retains the same physique. It does not have the trophy base at the bottom.
