In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Whenever a game file is loaded, the duo begin with three lives (regardless of how many they had when the file was last played). Seemingly, up to nine lives can be collected, but if then one or more lives are collected and the duo loses one, the screen still indicates that the player possesses nine lives. They can be found in virtually every level, but are usually hidden and require Banjo and Kazooie to use quick movements and decisive thinking to acquire them. There are either two or three Extra Lives in each level, and are regenerated each time the duo exit and re-enter the level. An extra life is also earned by getting all 100 notes in any level.

In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Extra Lives appear in every level, including [[Spiral Mountain]] and [[Gruntilda's Lair]] hub worlds. Each level features either two or three Extra Lives, although in the final level, [[Click Clock Wood]], the Extra Lives are relocated based on the current season. Extra Lives most often appear in well-hidden or hard-to-reach areas. If Banjo and Kazooie exit and later re-enter a level, the Extra Lives they previously collected regenerate at their respective locations.
Extra Lives were not featured in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' because it does not have a lives system. Similarly, in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Extra Lives were absent because Banjo's "lives" were measured from the [[Honeycomb]]s in his health bar, and would receive a game over from having an empty life meter.

“Look out for me, I'm an extra life!”
An Extra Life, Banjo-Kazooie

Extra Lives, also known as Golden Banjos,[1] are golden statuettes of Banjo and items in Banjo-Kazooie that provide an extra life to Banjo and Kazooie, as directly stated by their name. Their purpose is identical to 1-Up Mushrooms from the Super Mario series, or the Extra Life Balloons from the Donkey Kong Country series.

The Extra Lives do not appear in Banjo-Tooie and Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge due to the lives system being removed.

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, a massive Extra Life statue appears as a Jinjo Fetch item in Act 6 of LOGBOX 720, where it belongs to a Yellow Jinjo. The Extra Life statue retains its physique, although it was changed to be twice Banjo's height, and the bottom trophy base was removed.

The Extra Life statue is on a ledge in the console's upper portion, which Banjo can only reach by using a plane vehicle. After returning the Extra Life, Banjo and Kazooie are rewarded with a Jinjo Token.
