The '''Talon Trot''' is a recurring ability in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'' series]].


==Overview==
The '''Talon Trot''' is an ability learned from [[Bottles]] on [[Mumbo's Mountain]] in [[Banjo-Kazooie]], and carries over to [[Banjo-Tooie]]. It is one of the earliest moves learned and also one of the most useful. Hold {{Z}} and press {{C-left}}, and [[Kazooie]] will stick her legs out of the backpack and carry [[Banjo]] around as long as {{Z}} is held. Not only does this allow the duo to move much faster, but the Talon Trot is needed to tackle slopes too steep for Banjo to walk up on his own (although some slopes are too steep even for the Talon Trot). When alone, Kazooie retains the Talon Trot's slope-climbing ability. In Banjo-Kazooie, the two need to learn this to proceed to the next area in the tower.
Talon Trot is first learned from [[Bottles]] on [[Mumbo's Mountain]] in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and which carries over to ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. It is one of the earliest moves that [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] learn, and is required for them to continue past the first floor of [[Gruntilda's Lair]]. For the duo perform a Talon Trot, the player must hold {{button|N64|Z}} and press {{button|N64|cleft}}, causing Kazooie to stick her legs out of the backpack and carry Banjo around. The Talon Trot's main purpose is to climb steep slopes, but it also allows the duo to move around faster. As a [[Termite Banjo|termite]], Banjo can go up more steep slopes than the Talon Trot allows for, specifically the slopes in [[Ticker's Tower]]. In ''Banjo-Tooie'', Kazooie can use also use this ability while [[Split-up|separated]] from Banjo.


In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', [[Bozzeye]] teaches Talon Trot at [[Breegull Beach]] for 140 [[Musical Note]]s, although he only teaches it once the duo are reunited. The Talon Trot works the same as in the [[Nintendo 64]] games, but for Banjo and Kazooie to use it, the player must hold down {{button|GBA|L}} and press {{button|GBA|R}}. Once the move is active, the player can release both buttons.

In [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]], the Talon Trot is learned from [[Bozzeye]] on [[Breegull Beach]], and has the same functionality as the move from the console games. To execute it, hold {{Lgameboy}} and press {{Rgameboy}}. Unlike with its previous incarnation, no buttons need to be held while running with this move.


At the start of ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Kazooie mentions that she would use Talon Trot if she remembered how to. Later, [[Lord of Games]] gives Banjo and Kazooie a [[Trolley]] instead of teaching them Talon Trot again, deeming it a worthless ability.
