Rat-a-tat Rap is a recurring ability in the Banjo-Kazooie series.

OverviewEdit

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-KazooieEdit

In Banjo-Kazooie, Bottles teaches Banjo and Kazooie about the Rat-a-tat Rap in Spiral Mountain. It is perfomed by pressing while midair or Talon Trotting.

Grunty's RevengeEdit

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 Notes. It is performed by pressing while midair.

Banjo-TooieEdit

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. UltimateEdit

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.
