'''Extra Honeycomb Pieces''' 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|Banjo's]] maximum energy capacity by one [[honeycomb]].
==Location and uses==
[[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.


In Banjo-Kazooie, collecting six pieces, regardless of location or order, will extend Banjo's energy. There are two extra honeycomb pieces in each of the nine worlds and six in [[Spiral Mountain]], making 24 pieces in all and potentially raising Banjo's energy bar from five to eight. (The last six pieces collected do not extend the bar from eight to nine.)
===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
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.


In Banjo-Tooie, different worlds have different numbers of extra honeycomb pieces. Instead of collecting six, Banjo must collect a certain number defined by [[Honey B]] (which starts at 1 and increases by 2) 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. Once Banjo gives up all 25 pieces, his enerby bar doubles in size from 5 to 10. The energy bar increase affects all playable characters and transformations (excluding the [[Snowball]]), although the total bar size will differ (for example, the [[Washer]] always has one more honeycomb than BK).
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]].


In 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.
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.

“I'm an Extra Honeycomb Piece! Collect six of us to increase your energy bar!”
Extra Honeycomb Piece, Banjo-Kazooie

Hollow Honeycombs[1], originally known as Empty Honeycombs[2][3], Extra Honeycomb Pieces[4], or Honeycomb Pieces[5], are a recurring item in the Banjo-Kazooie series.

Location and uses[edit]

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[edit]

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.

In the 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.

Banjo-Tooie[edit]

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.

Grunty's Revenge[edit]

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 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[edit]

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.
