'''Extra Honeycomb Pieces''' (also referred to as '''Hollow Honeycombs''') are collectibles found in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]''. Usually hidden in hard-to-reach places throughout the games' worlds, collecting a certain amount will increase [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]'s maximum energy capacity by one [[honeycomb]].


==Location and uses==
==Games==
[[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] can collect a certain number of Hollow Honeycombs to add a [[honeycomb]] to their [[health bar]]. Hollow Honeycombs are often found in out-of-reach areas.
===''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', collecting six pieces, regardless of location or order, will extend Banjo's energy bar. There are two extra honeycomb pieces in each of the nine worlds and six in [[Spiral Mountain]], collecting 18 of the 24 pieces will raise Banjo's energy bar from five to eight, however the final six Extra Honeycombs will not raise the health to 9 and only serve as extras. Two of the pieces only appear upon hitting a [[Honeycomb Switch]], one of them in [[Gobi's Valley]] and the other in [[Rusty Bucket Bay]].


===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
In the [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade version of ''Banjo-Kazooie'']], collecting all extra honeycomb pieces still does not give you 9 health but it will unlock an [[Achievements for Banjo-Kazooie|Achievement]].
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', every six Extra Honeycomb Pieces add another honeycomb unit to Banjo and Kazooie's health bar, which can have up to three units added, making for a total of eight units. Oddly, the remaining six Extra Honeycomb Pieces do not add a ninth unit to the health bar, despite still playing the sound effect and showing the animation for whenever Banjo collects and Extra Honeycomb Piece.


There are six Extra Honeycomb Pieces in [[Spiral Mountain]] plus two in each of the game's nine levels, making for a total of 24 Extra Honeycombs. Two Extra Honeycomb Pieces only appear upon hitting a [[Honeycomb Switch]], one of them in [[Gobi's Valley]] and the other in [[Rusty Bucket Bay]].
===''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''===
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', each world has three extra honeycomb pieces to collect. Instead of collecting six, Banjo must collect a certain number for [[Honey B]] (which starts at 1 and increases by 2 each time) and bring them to her hive in exchange for an extra honeycomb. Each time he exchanges honeycomb pieces, the number he must collect for the next honeycomb will increase.


In the [[Banjo-Kazooie (Xbox Live Arcade)|Xbox Live Arcade]] version, collecting all 24 Extra Honeycomb Pieces unlocks the "Show me the Honey!" [[Achievement]]. Their speech icon is larger than in the original [[Nintendo 64]] release, although an unused variant based on the original speech icon exists in the game's files.
Once Banjo turns in 25 pieces, his energy bar doubles in size from 5 to 10. The energy bar increase affects all playable characters and transformations (excluding the [[Snowball Banjo|Snowball transformation]]), although the total bar size will differ (for example, the [[Washer Banjo|Washer transformation]] always has one more honeycomb than Banjo and Kazooie combined).


===''Banjo-Tooie''===
===''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]''===
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', they are renamed to Empty Honeycombs, and there are 25 of them to collect. The system for collecting Empty Honeycomb was altered, so to receive extra units for their health bar, Banjo and Kazooie must trade their Empty Honeycombs to [[Honey B]]. Her first exchange required only one Empty Honeycomb, but every subsequent exchange increases the cost by two Empty Honeycombs. The fifth and final exchange with Honey B. requires nine Empty Honeycombs, allowing Banjo and Kazooie to have ten units for their health bar. There are three Empty Honeycombs in every level.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', extra honeycomb pieces are called '''Hollow Honeycombs''', but are still used similarly to the ones in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. Once Banjo has collected the specified amount of hollow honeycombs, he can take them to Honey B's Hive on the Spiral Rise of Spiral Mountain who will transfer them to a honeycomb container.
 
===''Grunty's Revenge''===
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', they were renamed again to Hollow Honeycombs. Their role is very similar to ''Banjo-Tooie'', as Banjo must trade them to Honey B. at her [[Honey B's Hive|hive]] to have extra units added to his health bar. There are four separate exchanges, the first requiring two Hollow Honeycombs, and the following three requiring four, eight, and twelve Hollow Honeycombs respectively.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Hollow Honeycombs are found in Spiral Mountain. One can be seen in the vegetable garden, another on a tree stump, another above a tree and another next to a waterfall, matching their locations in the first game.
