'''Rat-a-tat Rap''' is a recurring ability in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].
|uses = Medium-strength attack, can hit floating enemies
}}
The '''Rat-a-tat Rap''' is an attack performed by jumping and pressing {{B}}, or by pressing {{B}} at any time in the air. [[Banjo]] will lower his head and allow [[Kazooie]] to peck enemies. Because it can be executed quickly and deals high damage, this attack is ideal for defeating most enemies, provided that they are tall enough for it to reach.


==Overview==
The Rat-a-tat Rap can sometimes be used as an alternative to the [[Feathery Flap]] when jumping across long spans. Although it does not provide the same upward boost, it can cover a greater distance without descending, especially when given a running start.
Rat-a-tat Rap allows [[Kazooie]] to come out of [[Banjo]]'s backpack and peck whatever is in front of the duo with her beak.


===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
The Rat-a-tat Rap can also be used while using the [[Talon Trot]] in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', whereas the Feathery Flap cannot.
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', [[Bottles]] teaches Banjo and Kazooie about the Rat-a-tat Rap in [[Spiral Mountain]]. It is perfomed by pressing {{button|N64|B}} while midair or [[Talon Trot]]ting.


===''Grunty's Revenge''===
==Names in Other Languages==
In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', [[Bozzeye]] teaches Banjo and Kazooie how to use the Rat-a-tat Rap in [[Bad Magic Bayou]] for 210 [[Musical Note]]s. It is performed by pressing {{button|N64|B}} while midair.
{{Foreignname
 
===''Banjo-Tooie''===
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Banjo and Kazooie start the game already knowing how to use the Rat-a-tat Rap and can be reminded about how to by Bottles' spirit in Spiral Mountain. It is performed the same way as it did in the previous game, although it cannot be used from a Talon Trot anymore.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Rat-a-tat Rap appears as a flurry attack. The air-based version appears as their back-facing jump attack, and hits three times, like the original.
