'''Hazards''' are natural or artificial objects | {{Cleanup|Wikia; terminology needs research; maybe content can be merged here?}} | ||
'''Hazards''' are natural or artificial objects that are not enemies, but are still capable of injuring [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. | |||
Damaging terrain can take various forms, but all are hazardous to step into unless the [[Wading Boots]] are worn or the [[Wonderwing]] or [[Sack Pack]] is used. Most hazards cause damage every four or five seconds, thus giving Banjo or Mumbo time to get out before being hurt more than once. Banjo usually cannot move very fast in hazardous terrain, but it is possible to jump and [[Feathery Flap]] out of harm's way. | Damaging terrain can take various forms, but all are hazardous to step into unless the [[Wading Boots]] are worn or the [[Wonderwing]] or [[Sack Pack]] is used.

The swampwaters in and around [[Bubblegloop Swamp]] are infested with many piranhas. Piranhas tend to bite things that enter their territory (except for [[crocodile]]s), so avoiding it is a good idea. | The swampwaters in and around [[Bubblegloop Swamp]] are infested with many piranhas.

===Superheated Sand=== | |||
The liquefied sand in [[Gobi's Valley]] is superheated by the desert sun, burning anyone who falls into it. The sand at the bottom of the moat surrounding [[King Sandybutt]]'s tomb can be rendered harmless by emptying the water from the nearby ziggurat into it. The sand eels, creatures that look like worms, are the one living thing that can survive in it. | The liquefied sand in [[Gobi's Valley]] is superheated by the desert sun, burning anyone who falls into it.

The toxic waste pools in the basement of [[Grunty Industries]], the pools of water on the Lava Side of Hailfire Peaks, and the water in the moat around [[Cauldron Keep]] will damage Banjo or Mumbo and fling them out onto a nearby surface.

===Quicksand/Toxic Water=== | ===Quicksand/Toxic Water=== | ||
Large areas of [[Mayahem Temple]] and [[Terrydactyland]] are flooded with quicksand or swampland. The quicksand and swampland themselves are not dangerous, but the [[Dragunda]]s living within are. Dragundas also appear in the poisoned water around [[Grunty Industries]]. The quicksand in Mayahem Temple does not damage Banjo constantly; it instead flings him out. While the Wonderwing won't stop you from getting flung out, it does absorb the damage given. | Large areas of [[Mayahem Temple]] and [[Terrydactyland]] are flooded with quicksand or swampland.

While water by itself is no hazard, staying underwater too long definitely is.

===Toxic Gas=== | ===Toxic Gas=== | ||
While Banjo and Kazooie are not physically limited in any way by toxic gas, they have to leave the area before their air meter depletes. If such happens, then health is constantly lost until fresh air can be taken in. Toxic gases of various kinds appear in [[Glitter Gulch Mine]], [[Grunty Industries]], [[Hailfire Peaks]], [[Cloud Cuckooland]], and the [[Hag 1]] battle. While most toxic gases cause normal air loss, the gas in the Quality Control Room and [[Clinker's Cavern|sewers]] (if the Clinkers are not all removed) in Grunty Industries is so dangerous that air is lost two or three times a second. | While Banjo and Kazooie are not physically limited in any way by toxic gas, they have to leave the area before their air meter depletes.

===[[Stomponadon]]=== | ===[[Stomponadon]]=== | ||
The Triassic Steamroller, Stomponadon is found in the [[Stomping Plains]] of Terrydactyland. Being stomped with at least two units of health reduces your health to one unit, whilst being stomped with one unit of health results in death. Kazooie can move from footprint to footprint without being crushed, but Banjo has to [[Snooze Pack|recover health]] each time he reaches a footprint. Banjo and Kazooie together can use the Wonderwing. | The Triassic Steamroller, Stomponadon is found in the [[Stomping Plains]] of Terrydactyland.

Banjo's leg bones can't take the stress of impact from too high up, so leaping off a cliff will likely lead to pain. Using the [[Feathery Flap]] can help prevent this, but not for very high plummets. Kazooie alone can Feathery Flap indefinitely to avoid this problem, but is still vulerable to fall damage. The FALLPROOF cheat in Banjo-Tooie deactivates fall damage, but doesn't prevent fall helplessness (the inability of action during a long fall). Falling into a liquid deep enough to swim in does no damage. | Banjo's leg bones can't take the stress of impact from too high up, so leaping off a cliff will likely lead to pain.

Falling off a cliff in such a case leaves it all to gravity. A similar case is in two locations in [[Grunty's Lair]] (the Gobi's Valley puzzle room with the entrance to [[Mad Monster Mansion]], and [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]]), where falling off (or getting knocked off) the pathway results in a lava bath. (Note: In Banjo-Kazooie, all bottomless falls incorporate the "fell into lava" sound effect.) | ||
