Difference between revisions of "Snippet"

'''Snippet''' is an enemy, found mainly at [[Treasure Trove Cove]] but one can also be found out the front of the entrance to the world in [[Gruntilda's Lair]] in [[Banjo-Kazooie]]. This oversized [[wikipedia:Crab|crab]], like most enemies, will attack [[Banjo]] when he comes into range, running at him sideways and snapping his claws menacingly. Defeating a Snippet is somewhat more complicated than with most other enemies: weaker attacks such as rolling or using eggs merely knocks the creature onto its back, from which it can right itself up if it is not hit with a subsequent attack. If the Snippet can be defeated while standing with a stronger attack such as the [[Beak Buster]] or the [[Wonder Wing]], it yields two [[Honeycomb]]s rather than just one, making these creatures ample sources of easy energy provided the right strategy is used.

Although it is never mentioned in the enemy reel, a tougher, darker-colored Snippet can be found exclusively in the [[Sandcastle]] in Treasure Trove Cove. This mean old crab is much stronger than a regular Snippet, taking a whole five eggs just to knock it onto its back; even the Beak Buster is not enough to take it down in one hit. It guards the [[Jiggy]] behind the metal gate until Banjo solves the puzzle on the Sandcastle's tiled floor.
