A '''Shrapnel''' is an explosive enemy found in various locations throughout [[Treasure Trove Cove]] and [[Gruntilda's Lair]] (Only after visiting [[Treasure Trove Cove]])in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. This mine-shaped baddie will growl and chase the bear and bird along the water's surface when it sees them. Since merely touching this floating aquatic mine will cause it to explode, costing [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] two [[Honeycomb]]s, it is usually best to merely avoid it. However, if and when the opportunity presents itself, Shrapnel can be safely dispatched from a distance with three [[Blue Eggs]].
'''Shrapnels''' are explosive land mine enemies in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series. They most often appear partially emerged at the water surface, and can only be defeated from projectiles.


In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', colored Shrapnel can be found deep underwater in [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] during the [[Grunty's Submarine Challenge]] mini-game. Shooting a red Shrapnel will get you 1 point, greens will earn you 2 points, and blues 3 points. Touching one as [[Submarine Banjo]] will still cause it to explode in your face, so try to steer clear and take them out from a distance with torpedoes.

*Shrapnel is one of only a few enemies to feature different color changes through the games. In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', he was brown. In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', he was colored to fit the [[Grunty's Submarine Challenge|Submarine Challenge]] mini-game (red, blue green). And in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', he was a gray color with yellow "spikes".

Shrapnels make a minor appearance in ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', as items dropped behind by [[Gruntilda]] during the Broomstick Cup dogfight. Functionality-wise, Shrapnels act the same as a Blue Ice Egg, because they are used for defense and make the racer crash. Grunty only uses these items when in front of the racer. This is the only game where Shrapnels appear with Grunty.

Shrapnels are explosive land mine enemies in the Banjo-Kazooie series. They most often appear partially emerged at the water surface, and can only be defeated from projectiles.

Description

The different colors of Shrapnel in Banjo-Tooie.

Shrapnels first appear in Banjo-Kazooie, and are only featured in Treasure Trove Cove. If the world has been visited, a Shrapnel also appears in the Clanker's Cavern hub of Gruntilda's Lair.

If a Shrapnel notices Banjo and Kazooie, it growls and then chases them. Shrapnels explode if Banjo and Kazooie touch them, causing them to lose two Honeycombs from their life bar. In general, the duo must avoid Shrapnels, although Kazooie can safely destroy Shrapnels by firing three Blue Eggs.

In Banjo-Tooie, there are red, green, and blue Shrapnels that appear in the deep waters of Jolly Roger's Lagoon, but only during Grunty's Submarine Challenge. The objective is for Banjo (as a Submarine) to fire torpedoes at numerous Shrapnels within the time limit and earn 60 points. Each color of Shrapnel is differently sized, and larger ones are worth more points. Red Shrapnels are worth one point, green ones are worth two, and blue ones are worth three. Just like the predecessor, Banjo must avoid touching Shrapnels, otherwise they explode on him.

Shrapnels later appear in two worlds of Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge: Breegull Beach and Spiller's Harbor. Their role is unchanged from Banjo-Kazooie, although they now have yellow-colored spikes.

Shrapnels make a minor appearance in Banjo-Pilot, as items dropped behind by Gruntilda during the Broomstick Cup dogfight. Functionality-wise, Shrapnels act the same as a Blue Ice Egg, because they are used for defense and make the racer crash. Grunty only uses these items when in front of the racer. This is the only game where Shrapnels appear with Grunty.
