“Wheee... I'm a Red Feather! I help Kazooie fly, when she knows how!”

—Red Feather, Banjo-Kazooie

Red Feathers are one of two feather items that are found in Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, the other being Golden Feathers. While flying, Kazooie can use Red Feathers to gain altitude, and each time she uses one, she flutters upward slightly. A Red Feather is also used whenever Banjo and Kazooie perform a Beak Bomb.

History

Banjo-Kazooie

In Banjo-Kazooie, Red Feathers do not have a use until Bottles has taught the flight ability to Kazooie. By default, Banjo and Kazooie can only carry up to 50 Red Feathers. "REDFEATHERS" is one of the three cheat codes that Cheato gives to Banjo and Kazooie. When the duo spell it out in the Sandcastle at Treasure Trove Cove, the maximum number of Red Feathers they can carry is doubled to 100. In Gruntilda's Lair, there is a Giant Red Feather in the room before Gruntilda is fought, and it replenishes Banjo and Kazooie's entire Red Feather supply.

Banjo-Tooie

In Banjo-Tooie, Banjo and Kazooie can carry up to 100 Red Feathers. The Talon Torpedo uses up five Red Feathers whenever it is used. Like the first game, Cheato provides another code, "Feathers", which doubles the maximum capacity of Red Feathers to 200 if entered at Mayahem Temple's Code Room.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, a Red Feather is seen in the box of Banjo and Kazooie's old moves which they receive at the end of the game.
