In the prologue for ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Kazooie is playing poker with [[Banjo]], [[Bottles]], and [[Mumbo Jumbo]] in [[Banjo's House]]. Kazooie is losing, so tricks Bottles by alerting him that she can see Gruntilda outside. While Bottles looks outside the window, Kazooie steals his poker chips. Later, when Gruntilda fired a magical spell at Banjo's House, everyone escaped except Bottles. Kazooie was inadvertently responsible for Bottles' death because when they alerted him about Gruntilda, he thought they were tricking him again.

During the adventure, Kazooie resumes her rivalry with Bottles via [[Jamjars]]. Kazooie often breaks the fourth wall with quotes such as, "We'll have this game finished in no time". Banjo and Kazooie gain the ability to separate once they learn the [[Split-Up]] technique. Kazooie has less health than Banjo when she is outside of his backpack. She can run faster, jump higher, and has the ability to [[hatch]] eggs. Kazooie's technique, the [[Wing Whack]], allows her to hit foes with her wings. While Kazooie is moving or is in midair, she twirls with her wings spread out.

In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', Kazooie is a playable character and is available from the start, having low top speed, average acceleration and high handling. Being a standalone racer, Kazooie is separate from Banjo for the whole game (the game's tagline even references Kazooie by saying, "Bear no longer needs a bird to fly!"). Kazooie is the boss of [[Honeycomb Cup]], being fought at the end in the match "Kazooie Klash". During the battle, when Kazooie is flying in front, she drops behind [[Clockwork Kazooie Egg]] that act like [[Ice Egg|Single Blue Ice Egg]]s.

*In the ending for ''Banjo-Kazooie'', when Mumbo shows pictures of [[Stop 'n' Swop]] items to the duo, Kazooie remarks "Hey, why isn't it called 'Banjo-Kazooie-Tooie'? I'd better be in it too!".

*In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', if the player holds {{button|N64|A}} while Kazooie is talking, she talks faster, making her voice considerably higher in pitch. If done enough times, Kazooie's voice stays high pitched regardless of whether the player is holding {{button|N64|A}}. In ''Banjo-Tooie'', although it is possible to speed up Kazooie's voice, it does not remain high-pitched.
