The Rat-a-tat Rap is an attack used by Banjo and Kazooie. In the first two games, Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, the duo can use the move if the player presses B Button while they are in midair. The move also appears in Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, where the player can also use the move by pressing B Button.

When the duo use the move, Banjo lowers his head, allowing for 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.

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.
