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 {{button|n64|B}} 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 {{button|gba|B}}.
==Overview==
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''===
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''===
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.


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.
===''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.


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.
===''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.

*Many players commonly misspell and/or mispronounce the name of this move, often calling it "Rat-a-tat Tap", "Rat-a-tap Rap", "Rat-a-tat Rat", or some other variation.
*The Rat-a-tap Rap is the answer to one of the questions asked in the Grunty's Furnace Fun game near the end.
*This move can also be used during [[Talon Trot]] in ''Banjo-Kazooie''.
