The '''Forward Roll''' is an attack that is used simply by pressing {{B}} while running. It is a basic but useful attack, and although it does not do as much damage and is not as easily controlled as the [[Rat-a-tat Rap]], it is especially handy for dealing with enemies which are low to the ground. In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', [[Kazooie]] uses her wings to assist [[Banjo]] in rolling, which, although it does serve to increase the speed and maneuverability of the attack, was most likely implemented so that Banjo would have to learn a [[Pack Whack|new attack]] in order to be able to fight on his own.
The '''Forward Roll''' is a recurring move in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].


The Forward Roll can also be learned from [[Bozzeye]] in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]''. Bozzeye teaches it to Banjo in [[Cliff Farm]] for the price of 60 [[Musical Notes]]. The ability is performed exactly as it is in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' by pressing {{Bgameboy}} while running. It still deals little damage to enemies but it is easier to control.

The Forward Roll is a recurring move in the Banjo-Kazooie series.

Overview[edit]

Forward Roll is a move that allows Banjo and Kazooie to roll forward and attack enemies, being a basic but still useful ability. In Banjo-Kazooie, Bottles teaches Banjo and Kazooie how to use the Forward Roll in Spiral Mountain, being performed by pressing B Button while moving. In Banjo-Tooie, the Forward Roll is a pre-learned move, being performed the same way as it did in the previous game, but when Split-Up from Kazooie, Banjo cannot use the move because her wings are necessary for it to work. In Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, Bozzeye teaches Banjo and Kazooie how to use the Forward Roll in Cliff Farm for 60 Musical Notes. It is performed by pressing B Button while moving. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the Forward Roll appears as Banjo's dash attack, and as such is performed from a Talon Trot.
